I have been throwing in extra fiber wherever I can. The "Eat this not that" Guru says people should get at least 25 grams of it especially during weight loss. I find with reduced calories, constipation sets in pretty easy no matter how much water I drink. ease into the benefiber though, start low and increase gradually.…

looks like you had a lot of fun! Congrats on you accomplishment and your beauty!

Thats great! Here's to getting out the hammer and making a new hole in the belt!

Don't be too hard on yourself, sometimes a big carb day is not as bad as you think. Make up for it tomorrow and you will feel better about yourself. Nice job on the 10 pounds! Woo hoo!

I buy 5 frozen entrees for the work week-either Lean Cuisine or Smart ones. They are in the freezer at work and I eat them because I know they are there, I save money on lunch and am satiated as well. On the weekends, I find a toasted english muffin with half an avocado and 2 tbsp cream cheese to be a guilty pleasure and…

That is concerning. I hope it can be remedied and that you are ok. Really.

Agreed! I got a little pissed knowing I let myself be this way for 10 years! And I am happy to be shedding some of it and it feels like a life choice-not a diet. That is always in my head. Today I gave myself a little chirp while walking DGU! (don't give up) 23 pounds to go is hard to imagine but losing 23 already was even…

I broke my plateau by not eating back my exercise calories. I stayed with my mininum of 1200.

If you can get to a pilates reformer class, there are so many options for working around an injury. You can get you arms, abs and core done without using your knees at all.

SO SO very happy for you!!

Are you allergic to wheat? A friend of mine is and she use to bloat all the time from it. Now she's gluten free and so much happier.

Potassium helps if you are sweating alot and it keeps your muscles from getting too achy. I drink a zico, eat a banana and go heavy on the leafy greens and it seems to help. Sodium is shockingly everywhere and water is your friend like the previous reply mentioned.

Let's hear it for Gramps and Unc!

That's pretty much what I said-it tells you what you "might weigh" and it has worked for me.

I am a foodie except I don't do a lot of TV. I love Julia and Jacque and pretty much feel like butter is my middle name and wine being my 2nd middle name! When I started MFP my vintage gas range had just died and the one I wanted was an 8 week wait No cookin made takin the wiehgt off helpful. So now that it is finally…

I am at 20 in 12 weeks (with a 4 lb relapse from vacation) and I seem to be meeting the ticker when it says "Hey if you keep eating like this your will weigh.....in 5 weeks". So I think paying attention to that migh help you realize your goal?

The weekends are easier for me because I burn so much (yardwork, cleaning etc) I can eat whatever I want. I weigh in on Fridays and if I have not lost what I wanted to, I work harder at it Sat & Sunday. I think I would get depressed weighing in on Monday-they are bad enough as it is being back in my cubicle!

I would think carrots would be the same calories organic or not.

There's a learning curve and adjustment period for your body to "want" the exercise. Usually after doing something for 2-3 weeks I can stick with it. I hate sweating and I do try to find a cool environment which can be hard sometimes. If you can start something try just walking, at least 30 minutes a day and keep doing it…

I get a little embarrassed when people know I am trying to lose weight. I went to a wake last week and my Aunt told everyone I had lost 20 pounds before I got there. I felt weird because everyone kept bringing it up throughou the day and I played it off as no big deal (when it is!!). Plus I have a ways to go and felt like…

I'm with you! Let's be pals!

make sure you get enough potassium, you could be depleted.

She's like the Betty White of cats Ok, that's fricken hilarious!

I do! super comfy and held shape.

we all start out a littel pathetic! I am here for you!

so proud of you! really.

Welcome! I have lost a bit and have 30 to go. Let's do it!

How great to have someone SO proud of you!. The best feeling ever.

excellent! I was just saying I gotta find a sewing machine soon!

I would think so because of the way it eats up your dopamine. However, you should be able to correct that but it will take a long time. Congrats on 2 years and not getting eaten alive by meth, that is some nasty *kitten*.
