My opinion on this is to set aside a few hours one day a week (on a day off, preferably) and bake a bunch of chicken/beef/pork (whatever you think you might want for the next week or two) and freeze it in individual portions. You will have protein ready to take out and run with whenever you need it. Salads are easy to…

Precisely. I don't get it either. I love the *little* outfits, but I'll keep working on myself until I can comfortably fit into them and keep them in the bedroom. Even when I do get a man, I don't want to dress like that in public and give anyone the idea that that represents who I am. It has a lot to do with self-respect.…

I've been single for 9 months and before that 4 month relationship, it had been over 6 years since I had been in a relationship. While I would like to be in a relationship, I am patient and waiting for God to put the right one in my path.

Well said!

Precisely. People see HCG as this amazing cure to their fat. It really isn't. DO the research (and not just on the boards that are pro-HCG), and understand that your health is so worth more than pee and starving. Sure, doing it the healthy way kinda sucks, but it's a lot more permanent and you will be SO VERY proud of…

*pulls up chair, vodka and tequila at the ready*

You have enough for us breast - challenged ladies. :wink: Mine went from a small C to an A in 30 pounds. I suspect all that was from my boobs. :laugh:

Bump! I made a friend out of one of your friends because of my interest in spaghetti squash! Looking for more! Now I'm curious and about to invest in stock in the local spaghetti squash farmer!

I completely agree and you look fabulous in your before/after pics!! Great job! I know that took a lot of work and dedication!

Bump! I am planning my next two weeks and am looking for ideas as well!

I love the one from my local mediteranean place down the street. That and their pita bread....totally something I can dive into head first!

Welcome and your body has finally caught onto your game. It's natural. Even now that I have been here 100 days and I just reassessed my calorie intake, it lowered by 50. That doesn't seem like a lot to most people, HOWEVER my brain is in freak out mode. How I cope with that is by exercising more on days I eat more. I make…

Building muscles under that layer of fat will help that layer of fat melt faster. You don't want to lose the weight and have the dreaded tummy hang. I know I will always have a small pooch, but that's because I have spat a kid out. I know some people recover from that, I just don't think I am one of those (however time…

I third this.

MFP currently has me at 1860 per day. I'm 5'9", 243, and just recently stepped down from 1910. That has messed with me a LOT mentally. Before the step down in calories, I would stay under my 300-400 calories. With the new 1860, all of a sudden I feel like I need to eat myself to death. Not sure what that is. I recently…

Totally not weird. I like feeling my collar bones and hip bones too. :)

Oh that is greatness!!! Thank you for sharing!!

Some may be chocolate deprived, but this girl is NOT! I refuse to give up everything because that spells disaster, and I've been through enough disasters that I don't need any more. :flowerforyou:

People like that typically delete me and then, when I'm bored, I wonder, "Oh, I wonder how so and so is doing...". I mainly say that because I have their statuses hidden so I don't see it streaming constantly on my feed, only to discover that, at some point, I have been deleted. :smile: Actually four people deleted me…

When I got pregnant with my son (completely unplanned by a friend w/ benefit dude), I wanted to have an abortion immediately. I even went on to make an appointment and they didn't have one available for two weeks. I canceled that appointment the day before. After living with this thing growing in my body for about 6 weeks,…

I care that you don't care and now I am reporting every last one of you that expressed an opinion that goes against mine! :cry: :cry: :mad: :mad: :explode: :angry:

You will get plenty of differing responses to your question. From my own personal experience, it doesn't seem to matter when/what I eat, just how many calories I consume. I refuse to give up good food as well. As you lose weight, your cravings will possibly change. Mine just recently changed from wanting processed carbs to…

These are all good ideas, but, ultimately, the people have to want it for themselves. If they don't, no amount of bribing will get them to want it more.

Bump

A couple of places. My friends who have started on their journey to better health was the last straw that got me to start on my journey, HOWEVER, my son is my biggest motivator. He is such a light to everyone around him and I love being his mommy. I want to be around and able to be fully able to chase after him as long as…

I want to lose about 125 lbs and I have so far lost 28 lbs. I did that in 90 days, however I know that the smaller I get, the less quickly it will come off and I will have to re-evaluate my eating habits along the way. Recently I started craving protein instead of carbs. Everyone tells me that is a good craving. I'm…

This. I don't deny myself EVIL FOOD from EVIL MCDONALDS because I know myself too well. Have I cut it down? Absolutely, but I haven't cut it out completely. I have a life and being worried about 15 grams of sugar a day is not something I can sustain. I'm glad you found a "plan" that works for you.

For you, is this reasonable and sustainable for the rest of your life?
