The box's are great. Especially being that they are microwaveable, to go containers. Each one is a different size and re-teach's us about portion control. Sorry to burst your bubble but if I have to use box's the rest of my life then so be it. The 21 day fix works. The first round I lost 13.75 inches. Don't knock it till…

I started 21 day fix today. I have been doing really well since restarting my journey jan.2 but am needing to start toning and defining. Portion control is not an issue so the containers frustrate me. And after I plug everything into my fitness pal I am only at 900 and some. Accordingly I should be between 1500-1600. While…

I never had a problem going until I started dieting. So I have added 2- stool softeners( not laxatives) I am currently doing fodmap with no rice, no dairy and some other modifications. I am being tested for celiac and b-12. I have numbness and tingling in my hands in feet the last few months as well. I don't feel myself…

Hi Sarah, well I'm down 2 lbs. so moving along. I'm getting bored with my eliptical and treadmill. So I think it's time to had something else. How are you making out?

Hi everyone. Well the scale at work got caliber ayes this week so I took my 2 scales in to see which one was more accurate and of course the one that was higher was more accurate. So with that said I weigh 179.6 this am on the new scale and 176.6 on the old. What a bummer. That would of been another 2 lbs. but I got to…

We have had limited contact with members of the group even after messages were sent so I have opened the group up to the public.

I have to agree, you have been doing this a while to loose 113lbs. So that is awesome. I'm not sure how much more you want to go or if you are going to maintenance but if you want a kick in the butt I can give you one. You didn't come this far to go back to being that old unhealthy person. And nothing and no one is worth…

Just curious where did u come up with 1430 vs mfp standard of 1200. If you calculate your tdee and eat fruits, veggies and lots of proteins you should be fine. Carbs should be minimal. Like really small. But daily.

I have been having stomach problems since October. I have a history of acid reflux and a hiatal hernia. So when my stomach started really hurting (like some punching me continuously) between the ribs I called the dr. They double my nexium. In December I ended up in the emergency room it was so bad. So they added yet…

Bump

That's awesome dedication. I would love to have your support. Sending friend request.

Everyone focused in on ur diary which may be a part if the problem. But you said you started cardio. When you start a new exercise you know it takes time for your body to adjust before it lets go of the water and fat. Your building muscle. Have you done measurements?

Thank you for the wonderful inspiration. You sir have done wonderful and have proven that if you want something bad enough that anything is obtainable. Best of luck with maintaince.

For as much as we don't like to cook. Prepacked food is really bad for our health. It is not meant to be a diet fast food. Just as someone as already said you will soon discover ing one of the items these are high in sodium, they also have lots of preservatives. I hope as the weight starts coming off you will find that you…

Check out scooby tdee website. But don't include what u already do. I include only those additional exercises. Your body is use to what u do.

I think before you write off tdee and such you should research it urself. This is very important because we are not the same as mfp says we are. We are different ages, sex, weight, height, actively levels , etc. So we should not all have the same calorie setting. A good website is scooby works or scooby tdee. You can also…

It took me getting out of the shower one day; I was putting lotion on and caught a side view of myself and just about started crying. At this point I realized I had to do something for real this time. Before I really started having health issues. So don't be ashamed! We (most) have a story on our we got here.

I am not sure what you mean by not much free time, but I can tell you. That there are awesome cardio video's that are 25-30 min. long now days. (px90-t25) you can do weights right from home or a local gym. Time is what you make of it. You can do exercises in the car. You can also loose weight with out exercising its up to…

i absoultely agree, check out scooby works and use your tdee. IT is way more accurate the mfp. People are so hung up on 1200. They wont budge and they will find that neither will that scale. They will end up in starvation mode and quite.

Good morning everyone, well I didn't make the challenge. I got sick on Thursday. And am still just coming around. Dr says he thinks I have ibs with food sensitives. This will really limit me. I am not ready to give up coffee and Half and half and my frozen yogurt. But Made it 5 out of 7 days. Last weeks weight was 181.…

If anyone wants to do week 2 challenge please post or let me know and I will post. But we need to post ASAP so we all can get on board tommorrow am.

Is it ok Linda if we use Saturdays weight? You record on Saturday and the rest of us can weigh in on Monday. Unless that is a problem? I made the challenge easy so that every one could do it. We can do hard ones also. I'm game to hear everyone's idea's. better yet. We could each take turns. ( each week a new member post a…

I think measurements will be on our profile page, yes. weight weekly on monday here.

You got to be honest with yourself. I wasn't for a long time. I didn't get this way over night and no it is not going to come off over night. In the mean time, I am meeting a lot of nice people on mfp and at the gym. I want and yearn for support. So jump on! grab a bunch of people who are going to support you and you…

I posted a challenge on a new thread for this week. Please take a look. I have several ideas for different challenges. But definitely, am up for all. Yes! on the weigh in! I also want to do monthly measurements, because sometimes we don't loose weight but we loose inches when we are exercising.

Hi my name is Anita, the dr.s are thinking I have ibs. my problem started in Octboer. actually. I started having severe upper stomach pain, where your ribs split. Then going to the right side. (where your gall bladder sits) I eventually ended up in the ER. I have had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy which primarly are…

I find that mfp is not as accurate as people would like it to be. Please research TDEE in the Community boards and one of the easiest websites to calculate your tdee is "scooby tdee." this will give you a better understanding of what excatly your diet should look like. Hope this helps.

I sharon, I am not fond of exercise myself. But once I get going I am ok. I do not have the endurance I would like to have like others on here, but maybe one day. In the meantime, I drag my feet and my butt to the gym, (even to the home gym) and make myself exercise. (I'm 45)

Welcome It sounds like everyone has been doing quite well and has a good game plan. I'm glad we got a good support group.

Hi and welcome, I certainly can understand that none of us expected to be here. But I'm glad we are here together. I see that not everyone has joined the group yet. I hope they will by Monday. I have posted the first challenge. Haha! Any suggestions for challenges are welcome! I'm no expert, so I'm just making this up as I…
