track sugar also. There are a lot of hidden sugars, esp in processed foods, so track both sodium and sugar. I hadn't been making ANY progress until I started tracking these.

I make a roasted veggie medley every other weekend, freeze the rest, and eat it intermittently so I am sure to get my veggies in. roasted root medley Brussel Sprouts Parsnips Turnips Broccoli and/or Cauliflower (added 1/2 way through roasting the roots) Butternut squash Golden Beets (color preference only) Trader Joe's…

Don't give up! I'm in the same boat, but sometimes it takes time for the body to adjust. A good friend of mine stuck it out through a very long plateau and finally is losing again, AND she looks incredible. Stick with it! Not just for weight loss, but for a healthier future.

My soup freezing projects never include dairy, rice, or noodles. I always go with an assortment of vegetables, meat of any type, and/or lentils. Lentils will thicken and give a hearty creamy quality to all soups. When I do want noodles or rice, I make and dump in as I defrost. It's working really well to get more…

Don't be discouraged. Life is short, so you owe it to yourself and your family to find a way to follow your dreams. It will definitely be hard to balance family, but if you have a good support system, it can definitely be done.

Wow, that's fantastic! I have a lot of stomach issues and this is definitely incentive to stick with low carb. How low carb do you go? I generally allow carbs for breakfast only. Is that enough to get results?

Thank you so much for posting this. I need a little inspiration right about now...

Wow, great work! Yesterday I saw a woman who said even if you don't achieve your goal or win a prize, you still owe it to yourself to be proud and thankful that you did it. You've lost a lot of weight and are well on your way, that matters a lot.

HI, I've been using MFP off and on for a while. My birthday is in a few months and I can't imagine spending another year overweight and out of shape. Looking for support to help stay the course to reach my goal.

Yes! Indeed, dairy allergies are vastly different from lactose intolerance. Discovering my dairy allergy has literally changed my life! I found out about a year ago after extensive testing for every gastro disorder, cancer, and rare syndrome possible. Not gonna lie, I still miss many dairy rich foods, but not being sick…
