I started RP today using the app. My friends use the templates without the app. The app doesn’t look the same because I don’t see how many cups of veggies I should have per meal like the templates show. How long have you been doing this?

When I get sugar out of my system I then find I am in control. I love being in control. I used to get the afternoon crash daily. Diet all day and blow it at one time. But I thought at least I was grabbing the right stuff. I had to learn that even a 90 calorie fiber one bar does not work for me. The sugars in it make me…

Homemade Hamburger Helper: Simple and quick. I food process cauliflower with shredder so it is rice-like (can buy it this way now sometimes), Brown ground beef and onion and drain, toss in with cauliflower and saute to soften "rice" and add a can or 2 of cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. So yummy the kids like it.…

( I watch carbs and stay on/under calories) I use the small sweet cucumbers from Sams sliced and dip it in hummus with salsa on top. Nuts 100 calories, sugar free jello and half of a peanut butter to go cup (mix it - like PBJ - a lil of both on spoon) Sometimes put that on a low carb tortilla , Pecan halves dipped in…

That answers my question. I was just highlighting the 1 and checking it. Over and over never realizing I needed to keep adding it up myself. That is interesting about the mix up. I will watch that. Thank you!

I scroll down and see water but it has none logged. I drank many cups today and went in and hit the plus sign then the water sign, then a check after highlighting the 1 cup. I would think I drank 5 cups now but I wish I really knew.

I started Phase 1 on Monday. I have already lost 3.8 pounds. Watching, logging my calories and exercising like crazy was not working for me for what ever reason. I am sure if I stuck with it it might kick in, but I needed some results quick just to encourage me. I need to loose at least 30 pounds. 50 would be great. If I…

You look awesome! So happy for you!

We should start a thread for us sabotagers. All we need to do is come in and post, "I did not eat the blueberry cake donut." I was thinking this might be something that would work for me. Every time I am tempted, I could instead joyfully go to mfp to proclaim the victory. If anyone is interested, let me know.

I thought this was funny especially since I just wrote myself a letter b4 reading you post. I guess I'll share what I wrote. Sometimes I am the person I want to be. Right now I am that person, fully in charge of my being and making the right decisions. While I am in this state of mind- my better half - I am going to write…

That is amazing what you did in just 30 days! I bet you are inspired to do that again. That is such committment too. You should be very proud. I have not made it past 5 days a couple times now. You are motivating me!

I bet you are loving it! Way to go!

Thanks. I'll have to try your idea. Kim

Great job! It is really easy isnt it? I like knowing I am in control and have the knowledge to make the right choices. been on here a month too. Keep it up.

Amazing!!! Good for you!!

Ditto. These are my first four weeks also. But I see this working for so many people, including a personal friend who recently lost 33 pounds just with mfp. Also, I feel much more athletic, AND I have a pair of pants I am not able to wear anymore. MY FRIEND THAT IS HAVING GREAT SUCCESS ON HERE TOLD ME TO MEASURE FOR ANY…

That is totally amazing! So quick. What an accomplishment!

What an accomplishment! Amazing!

"/quote] short answer is yes, it get's easier. Longer answer is: it takes the body a little while to adjust to any new routine, whether that be a change in eating habits or exercise, so don't expect changes to be overnight, there may be a delay before you see improvement. Also remember, when adding a new exercise routine,…

Yay you! Great job. You are looking great!:smile:

100 calories and sooooo yummyy! Frozen skinny cow chocolate truffle ice cream bars. They have these hardened chocolate stripes on the outside of the bar that just take it up another notch for the chocolate lover.

This one made me laugh. It is so true! I was warning my bosses wife about that ribeye they ordered for us at the ruth chris that had over 1300 calories. I just felt like a true friend could not conceal this knowledge.

Wow! You look amazing! Thanks for sharing.

speaking of the larabars you are having at night, that reminds me that my personal trainer friend said it is bad to eat carbs at night. She recommended this peanut butter with chocolate and says she had some every night. I was surprised how high in calories it was to eat a wopping tblsp or 2 before bed, but she said it was…

Thanks for the feedback and I will keep reading incase anyone adds more. Since it seemed like a good idea and so many of you are having success with it, I think I will give it a shot and see how it works for me. It feels good to have it done for the day. Now to go live it. And yes, I will stay honest and make any changes.

Jan, I like your verse by your name. It goes along with this question!!! I need a hope and a future in this weightloss adventure also. :-)

Wow! Thanks everyone for your input. I didn't realize how much this question had been mulled over. It makes since though that it would. I may try to get that heart monitor, because what mfp gave me did seem kinda high.
