I like the mini goal idea. Just start tracking the food you eat. You might be surprised at what you see. I always told myself that I was heavy because I didnt exercize, because I dont eat that much, Right? Well to tell you I was dilusional is an understatement. Once I started logging all the snacks and goodies that made…

Once a week, I create a weeks worth of my own Oatmeal baggies (the premade ones have other "stuff" that Im not interested in). In a sandwich baggie add: 1/3 Rolled Oats 2 Tbps of flaxseed meal Ground cinnimon to taste Freshly grated nutmeg (off the real nut, the other stuff is not the same) pinch pf salt (optional but I it…

Nicely done. :bigsmile:

Non Scale Victory! The best kind! :)

Yay for you AND Mom. It sounds like you guys have a great relationship and I wish you both the best.

I'm 47 and my wee one is 19. My journey started in May when I hurt my back. It was a rude awakening because I never really did anything about my weight other than complain. Now it was causing a problem so I had to get serious. So my sister in law turned me on to MFP. I joined right away and have become somewhat obsessed…

I am 5' 7" and my starting weight was 238 in May of this year. I hurt my back and the physical therapist gently mentioned that I would benefit from loosing some weight. I guess she unknowingly shamed me into a challenge and Im glad she did. I have since lost slightly over 30 lbs and I feel great. The back pain is all but…

Arm pits, fat back, knees and boobs. Kinda sounds like an off color children's song. Anyway, it is coming off everywhere and Im grateful! :)

Welcome to our "little" family. Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me if you want a pal. Michelle

Oh My! I need a cigarette (and I dont smoke). :blushing:

Good for you and girl, shout those NVS's from the rooftops! What you are doing for yourself and your family is AMAZING and each and every success should be celebrated.

I agree the phone app is awesome. Keeps me on track wherever I go and also love the barcode scanner part. Easy squeezey lemon peesy. :) My real advice is though although you may be under your calorie intake, watch your sodium. Eat clean and forgo processed, packaged foods. They are fine in a pinch but they are loaded in…

I have always been healthy at whatever weight I am. No diabetes or high blood pressure although both runs in my family. No doctor has ever even suggested that there was a problem... So, I have fooled myself to thinking, "Sure, I would love to look better in clothes (or out of them) but being healthy is what it's all about,…

Absolutely. I weigh almost everything but then again, i own ALL my obsessions. :blushing:

I love smaller shorts. WTG!!!!

I spent under $20 for the Biggest Loser scale. Works great and it is tiny so it fits anywhere. http://www.biggestloser.com/2009/04/the-biggest-loser-digital-food-scale.php

We share a birthday Cowboy (for reals) and I too have NEVER received a hand-knitted sweater!!! What are the odds? It's like we are soul mates. Well that is if you don't mind my "baggage". I come with a daughter, 2 dogs, 2 cats oh and a husband (and theres the no knitting thing). So it's probably not going to work for us…

Whatever seasoning you like then top it with Panko (doesn't take much) mixed with a tbsp of evoo and broil or bake it until the top is crunchy. Simple but amazing. Enjoy.

Done. He is pretty eff'ing cute so this should be no problem for him. God luck!!!

Hysterical! I was going to reply, but nothing can top this. :laugh:

He's a douche and should not be anyones boss, let alone yours. You are a strong, amazing, dedicated and powerful woman. If his head was out of his *kitten*, he would know it too. For now you will just have to pity his ignorance and revel in your success! AMAZING JOB! Give yourself a big hug from me! :flowerforyou:

I have determined that I am obsessed with logging. Everything that goes in my mouth gets logged. Well... ok yes everything. :blushing: Some may find it cumbersome I find it enlightening because I learn so much everyday about the foods i eat. Not just the calories but all the nutritional info (good and bad). Get the app on…

How is your sodium level? I learned that one the hard way. Also make sure you drink lots and LOTS of water. Also you might try opening up your food diary so folks can have a look and give advice. Hang in there, they weight will come off.

Welcome! This site is great. So full of support. Feel free to add me. :)

Taco Salad with ground turkey or shredded chicken mixed with as much spice as you like. Lots of salad veggies and tomatoes, ff sour cream mixed with salsa for dressing. 1/4 lite shredded cheese and 7 corn tortilla chips crunched on top. if you have some calories to give you can also add some brown rice to the protein…

Thats GENIUS and yet so simple!!!

Can't wait to see the pics. You are an inspiration! Your SW is the same as mine when started just 10 days ago. Thanks for sharing!

Im new and I too seem to go over my protein every day. I'm interested in the replys.

Good luck!!!
