Have seen the adds. Yes, it's tempting. However, you can buy El Monterey Breakfast Burritos for about $4.75, unless you want the Mexican variety, which runs $7.50. It's only 250 calories and very filling and yummy. There are 4 in a box. Or you can make your own with Missions Carb tortillas, Egg beaters, bacon or sausage,…

Hi, my name is Sharron. I've been with MFP for years, but recently had health issues that put me on meds that made me gain weight. I am starting back at square 1. 4% of my body weight is 7.84 lbs. I'm not going to do the bet, but I'm am going to join you on your 4 week journey. I'm going to friend you all, so as to…

Eating breakfast starts the metabolism engine. I would suspect the 1 meal eaters, don't burn as many calories throughout the day. So I support the eat light, like you did with the egg.

Wow, Good Job!

Okay, what do you owe your success to. SPILL! :) BTW: Good job, you look so much more healthy.

She'll eventually catch on. Keep speaking truth at her in a calm voice and smile and hug. Why don't you set up a coffee date or slurpees or frozen yogurt or something for after the workout that you can do together. Or walk with her on the treadmill for 10-15 minutes to warm up your muscles before the lift. You won't want…

Buy low sodium salt. When cooking don't add salt if using processed ingredients, like tomato paste, diced tomatoes, sausage, because these already have salt. Use sea salt and you will use less salt. Don't eat processed foods, because they have too much salt - cook for yourself.

I used a rubberband. I have a sweet tooth and I love candy and chocolate. You know the brain rewards you every time you eat these foods it floods your brain with feel good chemicals. However, like any drug you need more and more to get a "fix." So you are right to call it an addiction, because that is exactly what it is. I…

You need to open your food diary, so we can really see what's going on. Weight loss is simple - for every 3500 cals you are under your calorie requirement, you will lose 1 lb. You can achieve the 3500 cals by eating less than your base metobolic rate calories or you can exercise and burn calories to get to the 3500 cal…

Started in January 2013 (8 months) to lose 20 lbs. However, I was on a plateau for 10 weeks, until I recently figured out that I can lose weight better by exercising only a little and focusing on eating less calories. Now I'm losing 1.5 lbs per week again for the past 2 weeks.

If you are completely honest with your food diary and you are eating below your Base Metobolic Rate (BMR), then for each 3500 calories deficit you should see a 1 lb loss. However, it may take till the 3rd week to see it. If you don't see a change by the 3rd week, then something is wrong and you should see a doctor.…

Thanks, needed to hear that and congratuations.

If I eat back my exercise calories, I don't lose weight; which doesn't make sense, because if I am still under the calorie goal, then I should be in deficit by the end of the week.

I was on Novia 28 for 23 years and it was great. Clock work periods that lasted about 3-4 days - light. Now that I'm approaching menepause, the Novia isn't cutting it. Dr says it's because progesterone levels decrease, so periods get longer and heavier. So he switched me to trivora-28, which works great and things are back…

I don't know about the rest of you, but I sweat when I clean. It's a workout and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Newbie coming in on week 4!!! Week # 4 -- May 20th-- Goal 240 minutes Mon: Tue: Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 0 / 240

lunch meat - I like to roll them up like appetizers. Light Baby Bell rounds. Cut up veggies. Triscuts or Whole Grain Pepperidge Farm Fish. Wraps are always great too. Sushi!!! Don't know if you access to a microwave, but soup in a Coffee travel mug is good too. Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries). Grapes.

You can download them for free from UTube. I exercise 6-7 days a week and tried the Level 1 with 5 lb weight and felt like I was going to throw up for about 30 min after. I have a lot of respect for people that do this. Once I mentally get over my last exerperience I plan to try it again.

I agree, you can't eat your exercise calories. I always aim to be under goal by 200-300 calories on days I exercise.

1 lb of muscles weighs exactly the same as 1 lb of fat :) If you cut your calorie intake in half, you may have put your body into starvation mode. Your brain doesn't know you are trying to lose weight, all it knows is that the intake was drastically cut. The brain's reaction is to hord water and food for survival.…

BTW: Happy Birthday and you look great!

When you say "watched your fat grams" , what was your goal for the day?

Do the Gilad Total Body workout. I'm sure you can find his shows on the fitness channel. That will work out everything in about 30 min. He is easy to follow and very encouraging during the entire workout.
