I have it as a "treat" once in a great while when I really want one. I agree on it depending on the person. Some people metabolize fake sugar the same as they do real sugar and it raises your bloodsugar and kicks in the insulin. So in reality, it can cause you to hold on to your fat stores. Just make sure you're getting…

1200 is just a set that most clam if under will cause "starvation mode" ~ I personally think it takes a lot less for a much longer time to go into starvation mode. YOU just go by what MFP has set for you and you'll be fine. Now, I would suggest if you are set at 1200 cal to make sure you never net under that and make sure…

detox with hydration and time. Good luck!

I personlly like to get my vitamins from the foods I eat and you can track that on your nutrients but if you need to take a vitamin I would suggest choosing one that is a gel capsule.

No one pre-logs?

Have you tried to pre-log everything in your diary. Don't let yourself have what's not logged.

My daughter was just diagnosed with both PCOS and Hypothyroidism and she's losing weight. It's extremely more difficult for her than when she was younger but she's doing it.

Took me a little bit to make the change but I started slow. Try using vanilla soymilk on cereal or in smoothies (love this stuff on milk) That helped me a ton.... I know drink unsweetened almond milk or soymilk. I love them both HOWEVER, Blue Diamond brand Almond Milk and Soy milk has an additive to make it "creamier" that…

MFP recommends 1 lb a week. There will be weeks you don't lose while staying within goal, or gain while staying within goal or drop 3 lbs even when you are eating more than allowed. It's not exactly 2 lbs a week even if you're set up that way so don't get discouraged. I've been at this for 8 months and even though I took a…

I personally think all the "cleansing" is a big hype. Just eat right, exercise and drink plenty of good old fashion water. You'll feel great after a day or two.

My aerobics instructor has this diagnosis and she keeps all her meals to 500cal or less per doctors orders. I don't know anything about the diagnosis but She's spoke of it for years. She's doing really well and her cholesterol is down.

This one meal...guess the best you can.

Well...I can't run over and take it from you in the middle of the night but I can give you "heck" about it if you log it. lol Accountability is key. Welcome!!

I'm in! Current weight 232.8 Goal in 15 weeks-200 I shoot for 1650 calories a day, `1. Wake up at 6am Mon-Fri to get some type of cardio in before work 2. I take an Aqua Zumba class 3 times a week 3.

Just put it down and don't eat it. All nasty stuff in that thing.

Oh, honey are you in the right place. First, you won't mess it up. If you do, you brush yourself off and keep going. eating your exercise calories was new to me too, no wonder I found myself ALWAYS hungery on the fad diets. So, when you really want to eat a bit more, exercise more. It works out well. Some days you'll…

I have 2 personal friends. Both weigh 150 lbs. One is a runner and zumba instructor and she wears a size 2. The other does 3-5 times a week exercising but doesnt' watch what she eats and she's a size 10. Point is, keep doing what you're doing and worry less about the number on the scale. I promise the dress will look great…

ALMOND MILK DRINKERS?

Just had a friend have her's released due to excessive vomiting and damage to her esophagus.

I know several and have learned a lot researching this subject. Your stomach actually absorbs different nutrients at different levels in the stomach. Cut off/block off to high and you are deficient, cut of/block off too low and what's the point? My cousin had the RNY done almost 12 years ago. She has lost 180+ lbs and kept…

Today I'll stay on track because when I choose to go off track it is to hard to get back on track. :noway:

carrot chips and peanut butter greek yogurt and apple tuna pack with frozen mac & cheese with broccoli tuna pack mixed with dill relish on toast *toast at work* w/slice of pepper jack cheese melt

look at it this way 1 lb muscle is smaller on your body than 1 lbs fat (a pound is a pound) I have 2 friends, one is a runner and one isn't both weigh 150 lbs The runner wears a size 2 and the non runner wears a size 10 Its not hard to see, exercise makes all the difference.

5' 5" with another 40lbs to lose. Feel free to add me after you read my profile. Send a message too, please. :blushing:

yep, what they all said ^^^

Stay healthy. My sister has 6 kids and with each she continued to eat healthy and exercise and gained about 15 lbs during but lost 20 lbs after each child after birth. You'll do fine. =)

Carrot chips (real carrots crinkle cut) and creamy all natural peanut butter jazz apple cut up in small pieces added to plain greek yogurt and 1/4 cup kashi or pumpkin flax granola Those two are my favorite!!

I think what they really are meaning is, if you want us to help you we have to see the true picture and can't see the true picture if we can't see what you're eating/exercising. Clean up the food a bit, try to eat more "clean" foods such as the way God made them, less processed or limited process and get exercise in DAILY.…
