Go me :-)
So I met a friend for lunch today and they didn't have much time to eat so we went to McDonald's :noway: BUT I made a really healthy option by having a grilled chicken caesar salad with low fat dressing and no croutons which only came to 240 cals and 9g fat. I'm so happy, for once I wasn't even tempted by the fries!!! A…

Way off..way off
Ooops...I started a graveyard shift for some temporary work that came available. Alone that messed up my schedule and body. BUT, unbenounced to me, the midnight shift gets catered food: Chicken wings, prime rib, BBQ, mac & cheese, cobbler, bread pudding, fried shimp, you name it. Hard to resist. AHHHHHHHH.

Diet Devotion - March 9-10
March 9 Psalm 138:7 Thought I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. I went through a terrible time when I first started dieting. Every once in awhile, I would get light-headed and my knees would buckle. It…

Finally
Finally!!!! :smooched: I lost the 4 lb that had found me in the last month. So maybe that means I am back on track. I’m going to work hard this week and see if I can see at least part of that other 4 lb I gained back in January go away. Thank for the support

Don't mean to brag!!!!!
I know this is going to sound like bragging but I am pretty excited. I have been wearing a 20 -22 for about 9 years now. Today I tried on a pair of jeans that were a size 14 that were a little tight at first but after I walked across the room the fit just fine a little snug but I figure if I keep working out and making…

THIS WORKS!!! 5lbs gone first week...
I wanted to share, because I am quite excited, and because I thought it illustrates that this programme WORKS... ...and I am usually the worst dieter, quit before I see a pound gone, and am very good at indulging... I weighed in today, and 5 lbs are gone after the first week! I knew I felt quite a bit better, but 5 lbs! I…

ready to give up
I know you have all heard my whining before, but I am soo discouraged. I have been working very hard at this since Dec 31, and as of today I have not lost one pound. I have increased my exercise.

inspiration
Initially, I just wanted to loose 10. In the back of mind I was hoping for 25 but I thought 10 is good, for me, for now. Well I am currently 15 lbs lighter and well on my way to being a better me. When no one noticed the weight-loss I was inspired by the lack of understanding. When people started to notice I started to…

I HATE DIETING!!!
Why is it so rubbish having a outlook on food like me. I can be really good at losing weight but as soon as I fall "off the wagon" thats it - I will eat everything in sight. This used to be under control until I had my two lovely babies. I used to range from 8 stone to 9.5 stone (doesn't sound much but I am only a little…

Diet Devotion - March 8th
Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. When we feel the weakest and most vulnerable, then is the time to turn to God. God knows what we are up against, even before we call upon Him. There is no one who cares more about how we feel and how…

I Need New Jeans!
All my jeans were dirty so I wore my size 12 jeans I bought from Lucky Jeans late last year. They're way too big and need a big ole' belt to hold them up. Now I'm wearing size 8 mid rise jeans but I can't fit into my size 8 low rise jeans. That's $300+ in jeans I can't wear! :explode: :explode: :explode: I think it's time…

Weight Loss Goal Attained
Has anyone actually met their weight loss goals right through to the end? If so, I would love to hear how much you lost, how long it took and what you did. Did you follow MFP exactly or did you vary a bit? I just need a little motivation to show that goals can be met and have been by other people. Thanks everyone!

I did it! 10lbs
It took me a bit longer than I wanted, with a few slip ups here and there. I still got here. Not saying the next 10 lbs won't be different, but I will get to that mark too! When can't really say, but it will happen.:drinker: :flowerforyou: :laugh: :wink: :smile: :glasses:

Setting realistic goals
So after about 7 months on here, I have noticed that, besides everyone on here being just AWESOME people in general, there are some things that I think people tend to forget. The biggest thing that I see is setting realistic goals. I just wanted to point a few facts out that I have learned the hard way (by doing it) and…

Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Confidence. There are days when we feel we don't even know the meaning of the word. It is hard to stay confident when we feel so weak. It is important that we realize where…

Single parents?
I was wondering if there are any other single mums or dads out there in MFP land.
