Mnfrank11@gmail.com Please feel free to add me, I am a beginner at this

I will friend!!! Mnfrank11 is my user name

I have a stomach ulcer and had a REALLY bad case of Reflux for a few years. I cut out the following from my diet for a year and added it slowly back in.... - tomatoes - citrus - fried foods (still don't eat them) - soda (still don't drink it) - chocolate (moderation) - coffee (no more than 2 cups a day now) I agree with…

I'm interested in doing the challenge. Recently hit a plateau after losing 40lbs over the past 2 years and need some motivation. Does anyone have info on their experience and doing the challenge? Message me!

I was just recently diagnosed with WG myself so I completely understand. I started my first round of steroids this past week and have been avoiding carbs to not gain weight. Any recommendations? I'm so glad just as yourself for modern medicine. Please feel free to add me! Best wishes!

HAHAHAHAHAH this cracks me up!!!! but only because i am EXACTLY the same way! it helps me to pre-log, makes me stay on track and agreed on "dull and boring never hurt either" If you don't eat other foods.... you don't really crave them!

Cut 20% from your TDEE.... not 20% of the total. so essentially you will be eating 80%

Agreed!!! I love that place. They have good coffee too, but their chocolates are to die for! :)

Swim and sit by the pool..... exercise and a tan! Nothing beats the summer.

A woman after my own heart! Lately I have been trying out different white wines too for the summer, but after living in Italy for 22 years.... Red is my preference :)

Same here! In fact I reset my weight loss ticker and everything, I've been back at it for 15 days now. Here's to a fresh start, feel free to add me!

I use the Whipped Vanilla flavor of this protein powder as well and LOVE it. I usually mix it with Cinnamon, 1/2 cup (4oz) of Almond Milk and the rest water. It's a great dinner meal replacement for me in that I'm not really big on eating a lot at night when I get home from work. I've tried Target brand Vanilla protein and…

Agreed completely! I would prefer to be outside, however if it is late in the evening (dark) or early in the morning and no one is out, the area I have to go run is a little sketchy, so in those times I use the "dreadmill" Any effort is better than no effort, even if they are holding on, at least they are off the couch.

I just saw this post, but I have been taking GNC Women's Energy (Active) Vitapak without iron and I can honestly tell a difference when I take them and when I do not in my energy levels and taking them curbs my hunger. I also do one packet of Emergen-C Raspberry right before my workouts and I notice I'm not fatigued at the…

Thanks Lauren! I am really looking forward to it. I live in the south now (Dallas) but I hear Nashville is more of the "southern charm" where as Dallas is really becoming the "urban chic" feel. I loved Dallas, but I'm so ready for a new adventure.

Thanks ladies! Great recommendations.

Welcome back! I am I the same boat, and would love some accountability! I'm moving for my job at the end of July and would love to lose 10-15 lbs before I move. Let me know if I can help in any way and please feel free to add me (that goes for all of you)

Motivation and determination are 75% of the battle! Congrats and best of luck! Feel free to add me :)

Congrats to everyone on their upcoming weddings!!!! I am going to be MOH in 2 weddings within the next 6-9 months. I started my weight loss journey 2 years ago and have lost/kept off 55lbs total. I am 5'7 and sitting at 169lbs right now. My goal is to lose 15-20 more pounds before being in all these weddings! Not to…

Lady Bug (American Eskimo) and Jaxx (German Shepherd) =) They are my life!

change the IMG to lower case img and it will work!

haha This made me laugh out loud. My dog is looking at me funny now....

I do partake in the diet tonic! unfortunately tonic does have sugar in it.... I have recently done Perrier and vodka with a lime. Not too bad if you ask me!

I usually stick to Vodka and Tonic with a squeeze of lime. Probably not as sweet tasting as some of the flavored vodkas, but I am not into really fruity drinks. As long as you don't over indulge, enjoy!

I am easily tempted with drinks for some reason, so I make sure that the ONLY form of liquid I have in my house/fridge is water in my Brita pitcher. I keep green tea bags if I happen to get bored of water and want a change up, but no alcohol, fruit juice, soda, etc... in my house at all! I like the idea of putting an old…

OMG agreed! I used to eat 2 pieces of the individually wrapped Dove Dark Chocolate out of the freezer for my "sweet treat" at night. I got a little carried away doing it every night, but it never hurt my weight loss and is better than a cookie or ice cream! =P

I just realized I didn't quote this post! hahah I am just under 5'8

@tbhoover - I am just under 5'8

Personally I have mine set to lose 1.5lbs per week, but generally eat around 1400cals a day. I NEVER deprive myself of anything I want or crave, but try to eat majority of my calories before 2pm, then have a light dinner. I don't work out a whole lot, but try to do something active every day whether it be a 45 minute walk…

This is a year's time. Some of the weight loss was before I started MyFitnessPal, but I feel as though this program has really helped me achieve further goals! weighed myself this AM and am sitting at 168lbs!
