As you mentioned you have only been doing this for a week...If exercising is something that you're newly incorporating into your wellness plan than give this transition some time. Results don't happen over night and especially when you're adding in new exercise. Make sure you're weighing and logging accurately and you'll…

Skinnytaste.com for the win! So many fantastic recipes! Cheesy Jalapeno Chicken is my fave. Chicken parm, Sante Fe Crockpot chicken, etc. etc. Check it out! :smiley:

I also make Lettuce cups - which I guess could be considered Salad. - butter leaf lettuce - lean ground turkey or chicken - carrots - cucumber - sesame seeds - green onions - quinoa - dipping sauce of your choice. There are lots of low calorie or fat free options, if you're into that. I made a peanut sauce and portioned…

Super delicious, and I can always fit it into my calories. - Romaine lettuce - Lean ground turkey - Cheese - Tomato - Black Olives - Grilled corn - Salsa + Sour Cream for the dressing - Top with some crispy tortilla strips ( I make these from…

Great job! We all have to find our rhythm and it's not necessarily the same as what works for other people in their weight loss. Keep doing what works for you and you'll continue to see those successes! Best of luck to you! :smiley:

Hotdogs, ice cream, and coffee. Sign me up :wink:

Stop taking these and stop wasting your money. CICO. Period. The end.

I can fluctuate by 2 or more pounds from morning to night. Don't stress yourself out over 2 pounds. If it continues to go up, switch it up. Finding what works for your own body will take some time. MFP isn't the be all to end all for estimating maintenance calories.. don't believe everything you read on the internet. :wink:

Pictures are my fave form of seeing results, especially since I have a hard time getting that scale to move consistently. Great work! You can definitely see a difference. :smiley:

ME! Used to scare the crap out of me and now every so often I'll find myself actually wanting to take a selfie! Haha.

... if you want to wear shorts than do, if you don't, don't. We all have imperfections, that's life. Be kind to yourself. :smile:

On a side note, I hope your daughter is old enough to understand that isn't a normal way of feeling. Seek professional help for those issues, and don't put that on your daughter. IMHO. I'm only saying that because I grew up with a mother who was constantly telling me how fat she was and felt, it played a major part in my…

I am 5'4, 175 pounds. Size 10/12 pants and a M/L shirt depending on the brand and store. I think it's so interesting how different we all are with our body compositions and how we carry our weight! Great job everyone!! :smiley:

Great work! Amazing progress, get it girl!

Good luck! You can do it, just depends on how badly you want it! Feel free to add me. :smiley:

Snap off woody ends, lay in a glass baking dish, drizzle a little butter over the top, parm. cheese, and bake for 15 ish minutes until desired tenderness. Squeeze lemon juice over top once removed from oven. Serve. Devour. Enjoy!

Watermelon salad. There are a ton of variations of this.. but I use - watermelon, mint, feta, lime juice, drizzle of olive oil, and some pepper. Such a delicious and refreshing salad. All can be prepared the day of and the only thing you'll need to keep cool is the feta which I'm sure would do fine in your cooler! Have a…

I like to do a blt wrap as well. Turkey bacon Lettuce Tomato Mayo Mustard and a pita, low cal bread, or a wrap. Also super delicious and healthy!

Congrats to you! Great transformation. :smiley:
