I have been here for over 4 yrs and started ignoring the scale and my weight is up by 17 lbs....my mom has been going to WW so I joined with her. I feel like the accountability and the focus on fresh fruits and veggies are helpful. I am down some, had a bad few days, but I made myself go and weigh in instead of skipping…

I like the 1000 island and honey mustard dressing, alfredo sauce and LOVE the pancake syrup and carmel sauce!

I have been training for a 1/2 marathon and haven't had enough time to do my Insanity/Asylum dvd;s....last year, I would do 2 total body workouts which included weights and cardio (Bob Harper's interval/circuit dvd's are amazing!) and the rest of the days, either do an insanity or asylum or a spinning class. I loved the…

Insanity ROCKS!!!!!!

13 lbs.....I was there last year.....not freaking out about it but I would like for them to be gone!

I don't know how to keep the weight off w/o counting. It is so easy though, to do. The tools MFP gives you makes it so easy!! And yes, there will be days when you go over. That is life!! There are some of us who just can't do w/o it....others can. As soon as I quit logging, I gain weight. So I will be here forever! It…

I eat between 130 to 150 g of protein a day. I don't like cottage cheese either, but mix it with the 80 cal Dannon light and fit greek yogurt with a little splenda. Makes it tasty! I also will mix fiber one cereal to get some fiber. I also like the 180 Pure Protein bars, the chocolate is my fav. I like the peanut butter…

Do the hotels you stay in have a refrigerator or microwave? I always make sure the places I stay have those. I also go to Ruby Tuesdays a lot b/c they have a lot of good, healthy choices. Chicken and steak with green beans, broccoli, asparagus, spaghetti squash.....There are plenty of restaurants that serve veggies now.…

My carbs today was 240g!! 74 is really low and I couldn't function on that low of carbs....I was expecting to see like 500 or more when I saw the topic!

HOME!! It is easier to get it in instead of driving 15 min and back to the gym....with a full time job and kids, I don't have time to get to the gym. I can workout at home when everyone else is still sleeping or while they are playing......and you can't get Shaun T at the gym!!! LOL!!

I am in sales and have to keep healthy foods and water in my cooler in my car to prevent from getting too hungry. I will pre-plan my breakfast and afternoon snack. Tonight, I packed my lunch and afternoon snack for tomorrow and went ahead and logged it. That way, I know I can eat everything in my bag and I know I have food…

Why are they wanting to put a kid on a low carb/high protein diet? How old is your child? I think a moderate carb diet (b/c you need carbs to function and to think) and a higher protein/higher fiber diet would be good. Look at my menu if you want. I eat about 250 g of carbs a day, 130 to 150 g of protein a day, I got in 50…

I have no idea how many cc's I got!!! I just told him I wanted to be a perky C!! I had lost so much weight I went from a C cup to an sloppy A!!! I am now a 34C, and I got silicone....love them!! I have had them now for almost 4 yrs and will never regret the surgery....I had a lift too.....for those who say implants are not…

Sugarfree french vanilla coffeemate creamer 1 tbls is 15 cal. Sugarfree syrup in my coffee and splenda. I have 2 cups and put 1 tbls of creamer in each cup....30 cal for 2 cups! It is awesome!

cottage cheese and yogurt!! I love that combination! I can get 150 g of protein pretty easily at 1600 to 1800 cal a day. Look at my diary too. I love the Pure Protein bars.....they are 20 g of protein a pop....the other stuff is usually egg beaters, cottage cheese, chicken.....or other meat. Yep, it can be done!

I have the type of scale that I weigh the food, then put in a specific code of the food and it tells me the calories for that food too. It is awesome!! I use it to weigh food, but for fresh food, like bananas and potatoes, they vary in weight and calories so easily. I have had bananas that are as little as 70 calories and…

Remember your diet is very important too!! I have been doing Insanity for over a year and a half now and Asylum since October. I mix the 2 and love it! As soon as I started watching my diet very closely is when I started seeing results. I think I look smaller than what I weigh. I wear a size 6 pants and straight skirts,…

I love Asylum!! But it increased my endurance more than anything! I noticed I lost some arm definition and went back to doing weight resistance exercises 2x a week. I now mix Asylum and/or Insanity for my cardio workouts and do weight resistance 2x a week. I also eat between 1600 and 1800 cal a day, approx 150 g of protein…

I use Super Advanced Whey Isolate Vanilla Creme.....Body Fortress.....I love it! It is all I use, got it at Walmart. I use it in my oatmeal and make pancakes with it adding oatmeal, cottage cheese, and egg whites with it.....so very yummy!! Shakes are good with it too. Maybe it is the brand you get. Mine is 130 cal with 30…

I get that a lot! I am about 145 at 5'5" and I hear I am too thin a lot. It is their perception of you...they are not used to seeing you at this size. You do have some height on you, so very lucky! And you look great in your pic!! But if you want to lose 10 more lbs, it isn't like you are going anorexic on them, you know?…

I agree with Chanyn.....figure out another exercise to replace the outside running during this heat. Or get up way early, maybe before hubby leaves, to run while it is still cool. I workout usually at 5 to 5:30 am just to get it out of the way. Now I am an inside exerciser and am addicted to Shaun T! LOL! I workout to…

Hello! LOL! Here I am! LOL!!

I love, love splenda!!! I love the Brown sugar splenda too!!! My fav!!!!

I have had 2 Polar's and they quick working pretty quickly. My next one will not be a Polar, but not sure which one I am going to get....I am going to watch this post to see what others suggest. I again, do not suggest the Polar!!

^^^^^This!!! It has changed my life too!! I have been doing Insanity for a year and a half. I never followed the program exactly but use it in my hybrid along with Aslym and Bob Harper DVD's.....Love Shaun T!! All I can say it to do as much as you can! You will be able to build up to it and you will look amazing!! Good…

I went to couseling for binge eating for over 2 yrs. It is something that will never go away. I have found my triggers are when I am very tired or when things are going completely out of control in my life. You have to look at it the way an alcoholic looks at alcohol.....one day at a time, forgive yourself when it happens,…

For maintenance, you are to eat your exercise calories plus your 1200 calories. If you burned 765 calories, then you are to eat 1200 + 765 which is 1965. I know it sounds like a lot, but you should be able to maintain with that. I eat between 1600 and 2000 a day and lose on that much.....if you are active, you should be…

I agree completely!!! I usually will have to preface my postings to "I am a pro-artificial sweetener person.....I do not want to hear anything negative!" I cannot believe how ugly people can be....I love my MFP pals I have who are supportive on my journey!! I don't have to come here some to get support when there are so…
