Is their something she wants? I wanted a fish tank when I was in school and my parents made me work for it grade wise. I had to make honor roll and keep my grades up for my tank. Then when I got a good report card I got a new fish or decoration. It was my motivation, and it worked very well. Some people its clothes, or…

This works with a can of crushed pineapple too!

Wow these sound good!! Thanks! :flowerforyou:

The best advice I can give you is to stop trying. She has to come to that realization on her own. Just keep doing things the healthy way and set the best example you can for her. Give it time and hopefully she will come to you for advice once she sees how well you're doing. :flowerforyou:

Sounds yummy!

My shorts always rode up, even in high school when I was at my smallest (5'4" ~ 115lbs) and running track. I wear conpression shorts under my shorts. Hopefully you can find some that work for you, but don't beat your self up if you can't. I'll definately be watching this to see the recomendations.

Welcome!! My advice is to cut yourself some slack the first week or so. Just log what you normally would eat and it will give you an idea of where you can make small changes. And don't weigh you self every day. I started with once a month and it was nice seeing the weight drop 2-3 lbs, now I weigh in once a week and it…

I was just looking for a quick dinner for those nights where we both work late, this is perfect!! Thanks for sharing! :smile:

Bump!

Most days its soup. Its quick to grab in the morning and if you are careful with what you grab most are healthy. I like the progresso soups, alot of them are less then 200cal for the can. Then I take snacks, like carot sticks, an apple or granola bar cause I will get hungry again before I get off.

Sounds great! Espically with the Farmer's markets getting ready to open!!

Definately trying these!! Thanks for sharing!

I upped mine from 1290 to 1540 last week and dropped 2 lbs after not losing for 3 months. I also upped my work out intensity, so that probably helped too. Its all trial and error, what works for some people might not work for you, but it has worked well for me. I'm taking it slow and trying to be realistic with my weight…

I think the apple pie baked into a spice cake sounds like something I'm going to make for Thanksgiving! But all together like that, not thanks its just to much.

I never liked to drink water, now its practically the only thing I do drink. I got a cup that kinda looks like a clear take out cup and I keep it at my desk and sip all day. I started trying to drink 2 at work and now its like 3 or 4 at work and usually at least one more when I get home. I'll also add Mio or Totally Light…

I like quaker chewy lowfat granola bars; they have a bunch of flavors for 90 cal.

Well put! :happy:

I have/had a HUGE sweet tooth and no will power, can't even have it in the house. I've been using MFP for almost a year and i eat very little sweets now. When I first started I still had my sweets just make sure you log them and that they fit into your daily alotment. I used to drink sweet tea like it was going out of…

Home made veggie pizza; meatless spaghetti; beans, I love beans espically during lent they are so versital. Look up some vegatarion options, or try fish cooked a new way.
