I used to be on a plan similar to WW, too, and had good success. MFP has me eating more calories than that plan. Even though I am a good 50 pounds overweight right now, my body does not seem to respond to losing weight unless I consistently eat quite a few less calories than the "recommended" MFP levels. Honestly, I see…

Feel free to add me (the rest of you, too)! I've got about 30 pounds to lose and while I'm not in NY, I loved living in Upstate!!!

Hi! I hear ya...sometimes we find our ways off this site (I'm back for the first time in over a year!) and love the support of the community boards. I have a goal to drop some weight before a vacation and am looking to refresh my friend list since the last time I used this site. If you're looking for friends to cheer you…

Feel free to add me too. :)

Congrats on getting started!!! That's awesome!!!! I just started week 1 of Ripped in 30 yesterday; it's not easy, but boy is it worth it :smiley: Keep at it!

I understand your challenge... We all can struggle some days just based on the food choices. Try a new grain you've never had before. Incorporate nuts. I try and have a fruit salad with flax seeds or steel cut oats as a filler... It's a sweet treat and if I'm low on fats for the day, grab a spoonful of but butter or…

Congratulations on the life change! You look amazing!

I agree with a previous poster where you don't necessarily have to wear undies with some workout shorts. However, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hipster panties by Moving Comfort; they keep me dry, cool, wick sweat (let's be honest, we all sweat!), and don't really move on me. They aren't cotton, which I find to just hold heat and…

Wow! You look fantastic! Congratulations on the success thus far :-D

Congratulations!!! You did it!!! :-)

Congratulations on both graduation AND the loss. You have a lot to be proud of! :happy:

Some of my non-carb (bread), non-egg breakfast favorites are: yogurt + fruit, ricotta cheese with sliced strawberries, a tsp of sugar, and a little vanilla extract (tastes like strawberry shortcake... you could even add a dollop of fat free cool wip) banana + walnuts + cinnamon, heated up pan-seared sliced heirloom tomato,…

Amazing job! I love love love your attitude, too :-)

Way to go!!!

You look amazing!!!!! (Such a cute dress, too!)

Great job! The results are really easy to see - WTG!

That's really handy - thanks!!

Congratulations!!!! You've worked so hard to get where you are and I'm glad that people are really noticing - what a great feeling!! Keep up the great work :-)

Fantastic transformation already! Keep up the great work - you are an inspiration!! :smile:

My favorite way to slim down and gain muscle is to use Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred DVD. It's great for upcoming trips and helps all-over. If you haven't tried it, take before and after pictures. There are a lot of people on here who have posted pics and some people's results are just phenomenal. Good luck and enjoy that…

Awesome job!! You look fantastic :-)

Feel free to add me, along with anyone else seeing this post. I am looking to lose 40 pounds but 50 would be great. This journey is so much more fun with friends to help along the way and I'm happy to help encourage you along the way :-)

Feel free to add me (along with anyone else looking for some new buddies!)! I am looking to lose 40 but 50 would be amazing. It has been TOO LONG since I was on MFP and I didn't realize just how off-track I had gotten so it's time to get myself in gear. :-)

Things are going well so far, except the push-ups. I've never really been able to do them but hopefully can get better on those. Keep up the great work!

So many of you have had such amazing results - looking fantastic! Congrats :-D

Feel free to add me (that goes for anyone else on this thread, too)!!!! I had a life event in January and stopped doing things on MFP, but I'm newly back (and using today as my official re-boot day, too!) and am looking for the same thing - friends who are positive supporters and are online and comment often. :flowerforyou:

Anyone else looking for friends, feel free to add me, too! I stopped logging for a few months but now I'm back, too :-)

I got this "Apples and Cinnamon Quinoa" recipe today in my email and it looks delicious! While I'm not sure this has what you're looking for, quinoa isn't slimy at all and packs lots of protein for a grain: Apples and Cinnamon Breakfast Quinoa Skinnytaste.com Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1 bowl (1/4 of recipe) • Old Points:…

What a great idea for a post!!!! :-) LOVE IT! Tonight, I'm having leftovers (a mexican black bean / corn tortilla casserole) but I'm so excited to be making a Moosewood restaurant recipe for dinner tomorrow: Polenta Stuffed Peppers…
