Here is something that I didn't expect to be as good as it is. I was trying to find a way to get more protein in without having to eat chicken breasts all day long, so I turned to whey protein powder and plain fat free greek yogurt. Here's the simple yummy recipe: 6 ounces chobani plain fat free greek yogurt 1 scoop…

does Low Carb cause Low Energy? advice needed.
For 5 days now I've been very mindful of how many carbs I am eating. MFP puts my limit at 260g a day. I heard recently that I should be at 50 a day for fat loss. so 5 days now, working on the 50g of carbs a day and today I've just had no energy. I am usually full of energy and ready to tackle my day, but this morning I…

some serious support needed. tears are falling
I've put so much work into losing weight. I've passed up so many desserts, fast food restaurants, and tempting moments to get where I am today. I am 70 pounds lighter than I was in January 2011. Fabulous...right?? One would think so. However as I was feeling so proud and happy with myself a few days ago, I decide to check…

Turbo Fire???
Has anyone tried this program? a friend of mine is sending it to me and I've heard it's HARD but gets great results. Just curious if anyone has had experience with it and if you have any tips for me. I don't really have a regular workout routine. I walk a lot, but that's about it.

What's the point!
I'm going through some serious personal stuff at home right now, and when I think of weight loss it seems so stupid to focus it instead of issues that are in my face and driving me crazy. I find myself saying... what's the point. who cares. I just want to cry and not face the world. I know i'm growing because I'm not…

a little rambling, but I really need some support right now.
I'm no where near thin. I still have a lot of weight to lose... about 40 pounds. I have lost 45 so far. I am very strict about my calories and about how much of each food I eat. If I have a bite of anything, i'll find out the caloric value and log it, even if it's 15 calories. It's a little obsessive. Not so bad since it…

NSV!!! Big step for me!
For years I have stayed away from wearing a bathing suit to the pool or the beach! I just wouldn't do it for anything. Well today was a water slide day for my class (i'm a teacher) and normally I'd just stand at the bottom and watch the fun... but not today!! I wore my bathing suit, got involved in everything and had the…

Do you ever let yourself off the hook for a day??
Tomorrow is my daughter's 13th birthday and there will be food food and more food! In your opinion do you think I should just enjoy the day and not try to count everything I eat, or should I really buckle down and try my best to plan ahead? On the menu; Pizza from costco, turkey wraps from costco, fruit platter, veggie…

cant use all my calories
So I know we are supposed to really stick to our calories, especially since mine is only 1200. I try. Honestly I do try. I eat, and I eat some more. Today at the end of the day I wasn't hungry, but still had over 200 calories left, so i had a banana and some almonds. I did my regular brisk walk, logged it and once again I…

Those darn sabotagers.. please help me MFP's
How do you get past them?? what do you say?? I have a few of them and this is what I hear when I say NO to a certain food. "oh just this once won't hurt" "you've already lost weight so you can have it" "think of it as a prize" "You should do what I do and eat whatever you want on the weekends" "It's just one" and my…

Hello everyone, I love to go out and walk. I can walk and walk. It's great exercise and something I can do with my kids. BUT... it gets HOT here! Today will be about 103, and I do not like the heat. Do you have any ideas for indoor workouts? I don't have a treadmill or exercise equipment which would be the obvious…

It's called EA Wii Active i think. My 2nd goal is to play Dance Party with my kids and dance to at least 3 songs with them! 3rd goal is to drink water...…

What does closed group mean?
sorry... maybe a silly question but I'm wondering what it means on here when someone puts a group is closed. Does that mean I am not supposed to comment on those posts, or is it some kind of personal group of friends?? Thanks for the info!!

anyone else too hard on themselves??
I'm down 40 pounds...40 more to go and I am so hard on myself every dday. Each weigh in...even with a loss... isn't good enough. Every food check in isn't healthy enough and my progress is going to slow. How do you get out of a rut like this?
