That is a pretty big deficit but as long as your eating enough of the right calories (minimum of 1,200) you should be fine. To low and your metabolism will slow down too. You can do this my friend

This sounds awesome so I'm going to give it a try. 2 eggs, separated 1 cup Splenda 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 2/3 cups milk (I used 1%, but I suspect any will work) 1/4 cup flour Preheat oven to 350 F. Separate the whites of eggs from the yolks. Whip the whites until they form soft peaks.…

Looking for friends and any help I can get with weight training. Lost the weight now need to build some muscle

You're on the right track and still youthful so you can do this. I just officially became a senior citizen at 55 and I'm taking health and fitness serious for the first time in my life. I'd like to go on this journey with you....nothing's ever come to easy in my life so I don't expect this to be a walk in the park, but I'm…

Me too. I add a couple of tablespoons of Salsa and some hot sauce for a little kick.

Me too. I've been diligent since June and I've lost and gained throughout. But the calculations are pretty right on...I go over in calories I gain...stay at or under and I lose. Now staying at or under is coming much easier. Only 4 lbs to go...WooHoo

30lbs in 3 months is a lot my friend. Don't set yourself up to fail. Please know this isn't to discourage you but to help you be realistic with your goals. It all happens in time but don't sacrifice your health by not eating enough.

I don't see the request yet...but so looking forward to a new friend

Amazing!!! I've been losing with no problems....that is dropping weight but now that I only have 4 ish pounds to go I can't believe the amount of muscle loss. Walking 5 miles a day has helped greatly but it looks like 3 miles now with 45 minutes going to strength training. Boy does your body change when you hit your…

Will do

Thanks. So I just need to copy the username and than do the steps to send a request. You'll be my first attempt

Does tapping the persons name send a request ? I don't know how to send one. When I tap it all of a sudden it's underlined... Da. Not the greatest at some apps. Lol

Hey Dave. I'm in the same boat almost exactly. I've actually always been thin genetically speaking but the smallest amount of weight gain went to my stomach. I hit 180 lbs last June and had to go up to a 33" waist size but was carrying a good 20lbs of belly fat. I've done really well with My Fitness Pal and have lost 26…

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night (like tonight) hungry. I hate the thought of eating something at 1:30 in the morning but if I must it's a homemade granola bar (or two) lol

Add me please. Does touching someone's user name send a request? I'm not sure how to add people. Da. Lol

Very informative. Thank you

I make a split pea and leak soup with roasted garlic. It's simple and delicious. Cook one pound of split peas as directed using vegetable stock (I make my own but if you buy it get low sodium) finely chop one leek and bring to a boil then simmer until reduced but still visible stock. Use just enough vegetable stock to…

I make my own granola bars and they are awesome. It has natural sugars primarily from Dates and Honey but not so much that it will hinder your goals. They are low in saturated fat and just the right amount if good fats. If you're interested I'll send you my recipe.

It won't set up with almond milk. I tried.

Hi. I'm looking for friends too but not sure how to add you? I have a star next to you but not sure what that does. Help please...

Yes it's under settings when you hit the more tab. I just changed my settings this morning. Good luck.

For every gram of carb you eat your body retains 4 grams of water. You'll go up due to water weight but the total calories are what count. Stay at or under your caloric and carb goals and it will balance itself out and you'll begin losing again. Hope this helps.

Most will say at "Prepared" which would indicate cooked.

Cooked vs. uncooked…that is the question. However, standard serving sizes are always listed in a ready to eat state. When you are dishing the food item onto your plate, this is when the measuring and weighing begins. These standard portions are perfect examples: Meat: 3 ounces, cooked Vegetables: 1 cup, raw Vegetables: ½…
