  • I used to have the same problem. I portioned out veggies into ziplocks and fruits sometimes too. Traveled well and if they are ready to go you will be less tempted to prep something not as good for you. They are healthy too :) I would feel better going over calories with carrot sticks than say a bag of chips.
  • I have seen a lot of this too and have also seen a lot of negative feedback on things that I know work for me. I think it is really trial and error. Fins what you like , find what works, find what is healthy and you need to learn what is opinion stated as fact ( ans you will see a lot of it here on MFP especially) and what…
  • I think it odd that kids are being sexualized younger and younger ( I saw an article on 6yr olds pole dancing for goodness sake) and yet in general breast feeding gets such a negative response. It's natural and if I had a baby I wouldn't bring my baby into a nasty public bathroom ( or myself for that matter), I wouldn't…
  • I use it about every day in a protein shake. I have however cut back becasue of the amount of sugars and am looking for alternatives to work into my routine like green tea and soy milk. I have never really had problems with it though.
  • You have such a mischievous/ proud/ sexy smile in the 2nd picture. You look like you know just how far you have come and how beautiful you look in that dress lol. Great job!
  • " you are looking healthy" is my favorite! Was I at death door the last you saw me?
  • I have a cheat weekend where I cheat one day ( with unprocessed foods) but still work out and rest the next and stick closely to my diet. If I miss a cheat day though and eat healthy it does not bother me. Some people need them to keep sane and I think they are good. There are times when continuous calorie counting and…
  • it can be hard becasue people log junk and then complain about how they haven't lost weight. Maybe they aren't ready to commit to being healthy just yet? I would ask about it. Not judge or give advice but maybe so you can see where they are at in their journey or what they are doing. Them maybe you can decide to drop them…
  • Last Christmas we didn't have two pennies to rub together and the only thing I could get for my stepson was baking materials so we could make cookies and ornaments. I got my fiance a corona I had in my car lol Spending time with family is key, find some free things to do and they will be happy :) Good luck!
  • I like experiences as gifts. We went to London and that was a great gift for both of us and we are going to New Mexico so I can meet my future in laws for the first time. They have horses so I am going to get to ride one for the first time and go to the shooting range for the first time so I think my list is all set lol If…
  • Ive had success on and off MFP. I wouldn't call it a program per say just a tool that makes things easy to track and yes you get support and are accountable but, I find being accountable to myself helps more than to someone else even though chatting with friends is good motivation. What has helped me in general is CONSTANT…
  • ditto, It took a lot for me to tackle my sugar problem and I had to cut out a lot of things in my regular diet. Starting to drink only water and tea really helped. It is hard but doable when you are ready of course lol
  • calories although sodium would be next only becasue it makes me bloat...
  • They are just jeans not like a special pair he knows are hers lol I found 20 bucks in the pocket too so they must be good luck! They are from old navy I might have to go back and see if I can fit in a size bigger hopefully they wont be as bunchy in the butt like jeans are usually on me -.-
  • I actually got NEW stretch marks while loosing weight. But, the cellulite has gotten better since doing squats so keep on keepin' on girl!
  • I kicked nutella cold turkey. Took my jar and threw it away it was horrible but, had to be done lol
  • I will have to show this to my friend. She seems convinced that you have to have money to eat healthy and thinks buying 3 boxes of poptarts and cookies a better way to spend her cash lol Thank you for the link!
  • Maybe not intense like speed walking 24/ 7 but, Intense or excess amounts that is for sure. We spent 6 hours walking just one day alone. After a week? I think that is a little intense....even if it is just a little :)
  • I credit not gaining a pound on holiday to all the intense hours of walking and some jogging I did. Literally ate the most delicious, unhealthiest, large amounts of food in London for a week. I think I had sausage every morning the entire time I was there lol Did not gain an ounce and after it all I did not feel guilty. I…
  • My fiance told me I should use protein powder so I did lol On the flip side I have seen great results using it as a meal replacement for breakfast. If you are on the go it is fantastic and easy and there are yummy ones out there.
  • cloths stopped fitting right so I got on the scale for the first time in a long time. Saw 226lbs and from then on worked to change that. Now I am at 201 and never looking back.
  • THIS!! [/quote] agreed as well. It is really hard especially when you feel like you are not seeing results. If you get good ideas from here and do some more research I think sooner or later you will find what works :) you just have to keep looking :)
  • cardio for an hour and ten mins. I have mixed it up a lot though to keep it interesting. Swimming, running is my go to, stationary bike, uphill walking, elliptical, stepping. I add some weight training but, not yet doing it regularly. Eating wise I cut out red meat and fatty meats like ham and pork. Trying to stick with…
  • If my company were facing millions in fines and a raise in health premiums I could defiantly get behind this. A raise to them means a raise to the employee and less money in everyone's pocket. And if the company can't afford it? Then jobs would be lost so they could. I would do it happily, and if the company is the on e…
  • LAY OFF them guys. They are starving!
  • 5 miles, at night , in the rain. It was unexpected becasue I was in HS and my mom forgot to get me from soccer practice...does it count that I had to carry my bag home as well? lol Other than that all walks have been planned.
  • I had someone get really nasty with me over a simple question I asked via the forums that was just meant to get peoples opinions and reasons for staying on MFP after success. I like the groups idea but, what happened to open and honest ( not hostile) discussion among adults?
  • I read an article once where a woman did that. Basically " saved" calories for a big dinner she was looking forward to or an extra dessert at a party or whatever she was looking forward to.It worked well for her and I actually lost my first ten pounds following the advice she gave. If you want I can find the article again…
  • I think changing your profile is a big step in changing your views. At one point you say you are sorry for possibly sending others into remission and want to get better but...one look at your profile says you are still very active in your ED and this post is drawing others to that as well. I hope you find will and reason…
  • eat larger portions or keep almonds around would be easiest. Maybe even try eating one higher calorie meal like adding protein powder to your milk during breakfast? Keep it in your dorm and put it into a to go thermos you keep in the room or a small container with a tight lid?
