Trying to start up again, I lost weight in college and was down to 230, which was the lowest I've been since junior high. Now I'm back up to 280. I'm a mail carrier and can very easily do 10,000 steps a day so it's the food aspect that's getting me.

I got individual cups off of Amazon but am not a fan of the texture.

My sister has and she didn't like it. But I am considering as well. You need to eat low fat as it blocks fat absorption so what ever fat there is comes out the other end. She did not like it because she had times where she had to use the restroom then and felt she wouldn't be able to hold it.

I also just found out I have PCOS a couple of weeks ago. I haven't made huge changes yet as I'm still navigating the diagnosis. Hoping to meet with a dietitian soon.

Am catching up with what others have posted but my sister pointed out Dole salad kits recently. I have also seen Ore-Ida Just Crack an Egg. I haven't tried either yet but am planning on going to the store today and will try to find them. Both seem good for quick, healthier meals that can be taken on-the-go which is good…

I brought it up to my family doctor a couple of times. He suggested Medifast which was created by doctors. I couldn't afford it so instead got him to sign off on weight watchers since I was a teenager. It worked but I cheated a lot and didn't lose as much as I could. In college, I tried Medifast for a month and it was…

What is your recipe for chocolate avocado pudding? In the past, I have made frozen cookie dough balls and just pulled out one or two at a time. Not really healthy but helped with moderation!

Eating "healthy is super difficult. Plus, on days where I do eat healthy, I'm more likely to cave and binge on junk food. I focus on eating within reason instead which is the main reason I got to where I am anyways. Live this thread!

My state fair deep fries the whole stick of butter, like a corn dog. It is on a stick and frozen I'm guessing. They probably fry it fast like ice cream. My sister got it once and it was literally a pool of melted butter with the fried batter sitting in it. She said it tasted like a cinnamon roll but I just took her word…

I just got my box in the mail on Friday and am going to start tomorrow. I will be doing the 4-2 plan as it fits into my budget better. Any favorites for lean and green meals?

friended you! I am also looking for some motivation!

Do-so-dos have been my favorite lately. When I was younger it was the Samoas.

They use two different bakers younique80s. Savannah smiles are sold by one while lemonades are sold by the other. The one that sells Savannah smiles sells the names we remember while the other sells Carmel d'lights and all that. The Girl Scouts where I'm at just switched to the "brand name" baker so I am trying the…

Iowa!

I threw on a large long sleeve t-shirt today and thought I might have stretched it out on accident because a couple of weeks ago when I got it, it was kind of tight around the belly. So I tried on a large t-shirt that I just got yesterday and it fit well too! Making progress!!

I think I have a size 22 at my parents house. At my apartment in college I have a sizes 16 (so close to fitting in these) through size 20. I am thinking one of each jean size. All of my college t-shirts that I no longer fit in will probably end up in a t-shirt quilt. The rest of the clothes I'm not so sure what I will do…

I will be a junior in college in a couple of weeks. My freshman year in high school I did weight watchers for a few months, started at 260 ended at 240. I stayed at that weight all through HS until graduation but then the summer into college and through the first semester I went up to 270. Since starting MFP I am down to…

Hi Harriet, I'm Darci. I'm 20 and weighing in at about 240. I started at 270ish last year and was going strong for a few months before I lost my motivation. I need to lose about 100 pounds or so. Not really sure yet where I want to be. Congratulations on what you have lost so far and welcome to MFP! I'll send you a friend…

Thanks everyone! I wanted to see what other people thought of it. When I was little I would feel sick if I ate too early so I never really got into the habit of eating it. I've grown out of feeling ill but I'm used to not eating so I'm not really hungry until later.

skim milk, I've had vanilla soy and I didn't really like the taste. I've thought about trying almond, that is what my sister drinks, but I'm hesitant since I didn't like soy. I also thought about nixing milk altogether but it has calcium in it and I don't really ingest much calcium as is.

bump to save!

Wow! None of my family is overweight like I am so they don't really understand why I am so self-conscious. Reading through some of the posts though I'm not the only one to think about these things! I agree with amusement park rides and stuff like that, being afraid I wont fit. Luckily though that doesn't come up too often.…

Hey, I'm sort of new too. I've been using the app as well as the weight watchers app to track what I eat. I'm 19, female and I'm at 262 so I have quite a ways to go. I'm kind of in a similar boat as I don't really know anyone who is trying to lose weight. With the schedule I have of college classes and work I don't really…
