cheez its. That's the only thing I can't have in the house. I just can't control myself. If I buy them, I get the 7,5 oz box and plan to eat the whole thing ;)

There is a lot of jumping. My husband and I do it together and it sounds like the house is falling apart. We had a VERY crabby downstairs neighbor once when living in S. Korea (highrise apartment style) and we have 5 kids so I know just how you feel ;) Maybe you could talk to your neighbor about a good time for you to…

I did it once last year and started it again yesterday. I got good results the first time around. Not shockingly amazing results though. I suspect that's because I didn't have a whole lot to lose in the first place. I lost about an inch all over :) Once you start to really feel like dying, it's over!!! I say try it!! I…

Sorry, no advice. My son is nearly 3 and he will only eat veggies in the form of "applesauce" meaning...I buy the Beechnut character pouches with Pixar Cars on them. He doesn't eat any meat. No pasta. He will eat peanut butter sandwiches and cheese though...this kid is a pain!! When I serve dinner he will choose to put…

super awesome!!!!

Peanutbutter flavored toasted squid- on a stick. The only "weird" thing I ate when we lived in s. Korea

My friend made a pair of flare pants into skinny pants. 1. put the pants on inside out 2. start where the pants start to get loose (flare) and gather the excess, pin it 3. sew down the side of the pants, trim the excess 4. pull the pants right side out 5. put them on!! Perfect for YOU skinny pants :) I'm going to try it. I…

YAY way to go!!! You're doing an awesome job :) Your daughter looks beautiful!!

YAY ima make these!!! I love fall!!

YAY!!! I did notice my TOM cravings were more controllable this time around.

Just thought I'd do a one month update! Just fyi, I'm 32 years old, mom of 5. If you'ev ever thought you couldn't lose the "mom pooch" YOU CAN!! Cause after a month of eating basically what I want, my stomach is dissapearing... Starting Stats weight 141 Neck: 12.5 Bust: 33.25 Bicep: 11.75 Forearm:10 Waist: at smallest…

I workout at home. I have 5 kids, deployed husband and there are no gyms within 100 miles that offer childcare (small town, yay). I do a lot of activities with the kids, biking, swimming, hiking... and also do home workout videos like Jillian Michaels. Yesterday I helped my 4 yr old learn to ride her bike. Let me tell you,…

I started on April 30 and I initially gained a few pounds that dissapeard as quickly as they showed up. I started at 141, went up to 143 and am now at 139. I've also lost several inches (all over).

Wow that's definitley a difference!! And in only a month??!! You're doing awesome!

My most favorite snack is wholly guacamole 100 calorie packs and sugar snap peas! I eat that a lot. And ummm, I eat it with baby carrots too ;) And I like nuts. Walnuts. Pistachios. Almonds. Wash them down with a mikes hard lemonade. The lemonade actually is low fat.

I tried exercising when early in the morning before the kids get up but I just can't! I stumble all over, have bad form and all that stuff. I usually get up, get a shower, get coffee, get the kids up.....

Are you talking about right after you up your calories? If so, yes for the first week I was terribly "full" feeling. Now I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven't eaten for 3 weeks!!

Hi! I sent you a request :)

Okay, I'm at the end of 2 weeks! I'm so incredibly happy! I love eating food!!! I started at 141, went up to 143 the first week but I'm now down to 140.5 with some inches lost!! Starting Stats weight 141 Neck: 12.5 Bust: 33.25 Bicep: 11.75 Forearm:10 Waist: at smallest point 28.5 Hips: 41 Thigh: 24 Calf: 15 NOW!! Weight:…

I just got back from Zumba!!! I love it! It is sooooooooooooooooo much fun! It's the only workout I've ever done where I wasn't watching the clock like a hawk waiting for it to be over ;) However, I'm terribly uncoordinated and for the first 8 weeks of the class I just hopped around and tripped over myself. Now I'm…

I've only been at this for about a week but for the first few days of eating more I felt incredibly full and bloated. I barely made it past 1500 calories on those days but now I'm hitting my goal (with room to spare...) so it WILL get better :) I feel so much better now that I'm eating normally. I look at some diaries that…

Hi! I'm new too :) I bumped up my calories to 1873 on April 30. I spent a few months on MFP at 12-1300 calroies and lost about 10 lbs. I tried to lose more but was completely stuck so I gave up for about 6 months. I just ate what felt like eating and exercised and was able to maintain my weight. But I was back into my old…

I've heard this is normal. I upped my calories to 1873 a few days ago but my scale's out of batteries so no weighing for me!! The first few days I struggled to eat even close to 1873 but today I'm over half way there and it's only lunch time!! YAY me!!!

Okay, here's my starting measurements and I'll come back to update I guess!! 4/30 Neck: 12.5 Bust: 33.25 (do I measure this across the boobies? cause that's what I did. ) Bicep: 11.75 Forearm:10 Waist: 30 (at smallest point 28.5) Hips: 41 Thigh: 24 Calf: 15 Starting weight: 141 Goal weight: ?? who cares really... I just…

Ok, thanks!! So then... my BMR is 1428, TDEE is 2204 - 15% is 1873 1873 is what I should aim for? But never less than 1428? And a quick question... i set my MFP goal for maintenance and it's giving me a calorie goal of 1830. Shouldn't my maintenance be 2204?

I eat the 100 calorie wholly guacaomle packs. With baby carrots or sugar snap peas. Just as satisfying as chips, IMO!!! I've tried the cookie/cracker 100 calorie packs but I just don't like them :(

I do. Cause I put 1/2 and 1/2 and two teaspoons of sugar in it ;) I have probably 4-5 cups a day.... I should probably cut back...

I could never do it. In fact, until I started eating around 15-1600 I couldn't lose. It's different for everyone but I was miserable trying to eat 1200 calories a day. I'd rather be happy and fit than miserably hungry and weak!!

Wow right on!! You look great!!!

WOW thanks for all the replies!! I guess I know where I'm going this weekend ;) I'm going to look into these "running skirts" that definitely sounds like something I'd go for. specially if they have cute matching shirts ;)
