Screw the side dishes, just throw it all together in a nice one pot dish! Or look at my diary, I cook for myself a lot and make a wide variety of plant based whole food meals.

I agree with this! This is kind of silly but I listen to a Pandora station I created for Lady Gaga radio which is mostly like Lady Gaga, Pink, Britney Spears. I like the tempo for working out but I never listen to it any other times. I have another station that is more old school on Pandora I listen to that is Push It…

In my late 20's I was down to 125 pounds and I still wore a 34FF bra. I am currently 40 and 179 pounds and wear a 36G. I don't think I could lose enough weight for my boobs to disappear but I will need a slightly smaller bra eventually, in relative terms.

I'm 40, I have lost 20 pounds and ultimately I would like to lose a total of 77 pounds. My ticker is deceiving because I just add 5 pound increments every time I reach my next mini-goal. Anyone can add me, I'm always happy to have lots of dedicated MFP friends!

You have lost over 36% of your original body weight. That is amazing! Now, if you go from where you currently are which I think is 143 and lose 18 pounds to get to 125 you will have to lose another 13% of your current weight. And I think it totally do-able for your height. Like everyone else says focus more of lifting and…

Sometimes I feel like that too. Listen to your body and if it says you are extra hungry and if you end up going over just make sure you offset it the next day by coming in under. Or you can go for a walk or something light to burn some extra calories on the rest day so you have a little more wiggle room in your daily…

I Love Pad Thai and Cabbage! I have actually made a similar recipe but I want to try this one too :smile:

There are some good suggestions here. I would add: if you do drink try to limit the number of drinks to maybe 2, then you can enjoy a little without going overboard. My drink of choice is wine but that is personal preference. And it's okay if you don't want to drink at all. I know the peer pressure is hard but just keep…

You can look at my diary for ideas, I eat healthy and feel satisfied when I am done eating. I'm certainly not hungry all the time since I eat 5-6 times a day it's like I am always eating.

If you juice bunch spinach (instead of baby spinach) it works better and you just need to follow it with something juicier like cucumber, celery or apple and then it will push the thicker spinach juice through.

Looking for more twins! Female 40 5'4" SW 199 CW 179 GW 146 then re-assess

I don't know anyone whose goal is 100 pounds but I also like my curves. 44-34-43 right now and shrinking fast but I know my body well enough that those proportions will remain about the same as I continue to lose. :smile:

Forget Joe Cross, we should all strive to be more like Jack Lalanne, may he rest in peace.

I love juicing! Here is the link to a thread I wrote some time back: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/948510-juicing-101-with-recipes A few reasons for juicing: 1) it helps get rid of cravings for unhealthy foods 2) it is concentrated nutrition from natural sources 3) it makes me feel better! There is currently a…

I eat around 2000 a lot of days and I got no problem getting there! Have some peanut butter, or an avocado, or a handful of nuts and a couple of dates. :smile:

Oh, and hot tea sometimes too :drinker:

Wine and when I am desparate, water.

I always go over my sugar too but if it is from fresh fruits and veggies it's okay in my book! :flowerforyou:

I got married for the 1st time at age 38, I didn't meet my husband until I was 36 (he was 30 when we met). Don't worry too much about it. It'll happen when the time is right. :flowerforyou:

Your breakfast shake is fine and looks like it has plenty of fiber. I often have a green smoothie for breakfast and it works great for me. :smile:

I try to eat mostly clean but a small treat once a week (or more even) while you still stay under your net goal is fine. And I don't think peanut butter is junk food, at least not the natural peanut butter I buy which is just peanuts and salt on the ingredients list. :flowerforyou:

You can look at my diary, all I eat are veggies. And that is only a slight exaggeration. :flowerforyou:

This and life in general is a journey and it ends when you die. Now Don't stop believing, Hold on to that fe-e-e-ling Semantics schemantics. I don't see what the big deal is. Whatever metaphor works for you go ahead and use it. Any Way You Want It. If you keep it up we will have to go our Separate Ways. Can't we all just…

Oooh thanks for posting this! I signed up for the Vanderbilt course :smile:

I eat a lot more than that but it does sound pretty good :smile: 125g rice isn't a lot if you are measuring cooked rice. If it is dry rice then yes it is a lot!

Actually you need to eat less than you burn in order to lose weight. That's why is TDEE is the amount you burn in a day, you need to eat TDEE - 20% (or some deficit) in order to lose weight, But I also think you were misunderstanding each other - I think you thought she meant you needed to burn in exercise and many…

I just turned 40 this year you can add me. :flowerforyou:

Wow, your results are very IMPRESSIVE! Way to go! :flowerforyou:

Eat your fruits and veggies instead :tongue:

I usually eat around 1200 with breakfast, lunch and my morning and afternooon snacks. No way I could eat 1200 total, Those settings that MFP gives are just out of line in my opinion. Get some exercise and eat your exercise calories back. Instead of being depressed feel inspired to get enough activity so you can eat the…
