ahh, my belly is budging, but that's not my traditional problem area despite baby-induced stretch marks. i'm bottom heavy, mostly in the thighs. i figure the shrinking process will get there eventually. also, i have to weigh every day. it's part of my morning routine, and i have no power to resist it. i figure as long as…

I'm reading New Rules now. Excellent read. Trying to plan out getting started with it. I really want to get a bodymedia fit link. So bad. But I know hubs will give me the eye and ask how much it costs. I'm thinking of putting three months of my "allowance" toward it. I'm a stupid spender if I do t put limits on myself, and…

I just started on Tuesday, and I did a quick jump from 1300 to 1900. Just figured my small reserve of patience was put to better use tolerating an initial gain rather than on a slow calorie upping process. I actually dropped initially before going up a bit, but I'm still netting below my Eat More start weight. And I've…

Weird for me to say, but I have to eat more fat! I'm consistently low on that one. Carbs, I tend to be a tad high. Protein, I'm getting the hang of. I'm gonna have to ditch the reduced fat cheese and milk. Hey, maybe I will actually put some cream in my coffee again! That's exciting!

umm....i'm combining this post with your icon, and i've decided that i want to go to your church. :) and congrats on the NSV.

i wasn't stuffed the first couple of days...not at all. i was just satisfied. now, i could eat a horse and the horse in the stall next to it and possibly the whole barn. i'm eating when i'm hungry and just making sure i don't eat empty calories (or at least not too many anyway). and, yes, i am absolutely eating my protein.…

i just saw on another thread that HIIT twice a week was recommended, so this should be pretty ok i think. not the most effective exercise but not harmful either. i have a bad habit of finding answers to my questions right after i post a question publicly.

this is the basic recipe, but the adaptations are endless!! - reduced fat graham cracker crust - 2 cups yogurt (17.6 oz fage is perfect or 4 chobani plain or flavored) - 2 eggs - lightly beaten - 2/3 cups sugar mix those together until creamy and then add... - pinch salt - 2 teaspoons vanilla - 3 tablespoons cornstarch mix…

so far, i've found this to be a good strategy... i just about completely fill in my whole day with what i plan to eat. so, right now, my diary is nearly full and i have 241 calories left to play with. if i eat exactly what i've entered, that remaining 241 needs to have around 20 grams of protein, be low carb (i'm a little…

something said earlier reminded me of a mantra i heard constantly in another totally unrelated program (not a weight loss or fitness program). it totally fits here. it's a marathon, not a sprint. when adjustments were made in that program, you could get awesome positive results or you could find yourself weathering a storm…

i'm loving this eating more thing! i'm only on day 3, and i'm down 3.5 pounds. i can't imagine that's normal. i think i just got lucky and happened to hit a whoosh effect (sudden drop) at the same time i started this. i had been stuck around 152.5 for several weeks, but this morning the scale said 149. the first…

Sorry to run my numbers by you when I should have read all the pushpinned posts first. I do, however, need some clarification on this statement... ...that would be 152 grams of protein how often? edited to add.....Nevermind!! I get it. The 40/30/30 is percentages. Got it.

Hi! I'm Rebekah. I restarted MFP at the beginning of the year and have lost 28 pounds since then. I have an MFP buddy that keeps insisting that I should increase my calories (and I already have a bit), so I was following links on the topic and found this group. I like it here! Here are my numbers... SW - 180 CW - 152…

first group that i have joined!! happy to be here. so, to crunch my numbers...(rounding a little up or down to get even able to remember numbers) BMR = 1450 TDEE = 2250 TDEE - 15% = 1900 so, i should reset my daily goal to 1900 (HOLY BEJEEZUS!!) and make sure that i never go below 1450 net on exercise days. that right? if…

lol...we have the same body. but i guess i look like a sausage cuz you bet your big thighs i wear those size 8s!! i'm betting you look good in them too, but you're just a bit self-conscious about that area.

is it too late to join now?? if not... rebekahgo / rebekah cw: 153 gw: 142 thanks!!

when you're cooking the veggies...do the onions first until transparent, then add zucchini for a bit, then add mushrooms and garlic. the onions need the most time to cook.

i just cooked a casserole with some baby bellas last night. it might a little more complicated than you're looking for, but i will tell you anyway because it was daggum delicious. -cook polenta (1 cup dry = 3 cups cooked) - salt and pepper and whatever italian seasonings that you like -generously spray a casserole dish - i…
