    QOTD Saturday: happy Saturday everyone ! What is the best bit of advice that you have learnt since starting you journey?

    The best piece of advice i was given was to tal about how i feel. I'm a big comfort eater and so this was massivly important. Over the years i've developed a habit of bottling stuff up until i couldnt take it anymore then binging. Talking more has meant that i've binged a lot less that i used to.

    I have learned that saying hateful things to myself when I have an off day is the fastest way to make me quit. I am trying to be gentler with myself instead of calling myself every awful name I can think of. This is so much better for me.

    Best bit of advice I have received thus far is that you're body won't do anything your mind doesn't tell it to do.

    The best piece of advice I think for me is to not beat myself up if I go slightly over my calories in a day. I think that if you are careful the overs and unders will even themselves up. I have to try adn keep telling myself this as if I start to think that I have screwed everything up and what is the point etc... Then 1 slightly over day has the ability to turn into a 3 day binge!!

    Don't sweat the small stuff!

    Friday QOTD: Being Friday I have an easy one for you guys.... I just want to get to know you guys a little better, Please list 3 facts about yourself.

    I have 4 sons, Loren, age 28; Jay, age 27; Paul Jr, age 21; and Wyatt, age 15 - they are all awesome and are a tremendous support for my weight loss.

    I write training curriculum for such companies as Dell, Gateway, and Walgreens. I also write material to train the leadership staff of a big global telecommunications company.

    I am in my Junior year of college, seeking a Bachelor's in Education and Public Policy. My Associate's is in Business management.

    People have told me all my life what the best methods for wieght loss are and I ignored them and had to try it my own way. I'm finally here to say that they were right and I was wrong! The only path to true weight loss is the old fashioned way: measure your portions (don't eye-ball it), record all your calories, exercise more than you used to, and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, in addition to other fluids, such as coffee or juice. That's the best advice and what I pass on to anyone who disagrees. Don't wait until your 48 to learn it! It gets harder to lose as you get older!

    Please list 3 facts about yourself.

    1. I wish I lived in Seattle again (I plan on moving back when my kid goes to college in four years)
    2. I’m a single mom of a 15 year old adopted son (the best kid EV-ER!)
    3. I work for the state and at IKEA and really enjoy both even though they're just about as opposite as you can get.

    For me it is a numbers game so one of the best pieces of advice is to weigh and measure my food which is why tracking my food in MFP is so useful. It keeps me aware of my choices and portions. I’m not saying they’re always spot on but at least they’re documented.

    sorry to be a bit behind - busy busy weekend.

    best advice I've had is to log everything - good or bad. But also not to beat myself up on those bad days but use it as a way to learn what does and does not work for me!

    Mine would have to be eat more to lose weight . I was eating 500-800cals a day when I started here and everyone kept telling me the reason I had stopped losing was because I wasn't eating enough. It took me quite a while to get over the fear of eating as in my head eating =fat but its the best thing I ever did.
    I've learned that my body really can do alot more than I though. Running has been an awesome accomplishment for me. I still don' t run very far or very fast but I am running and it feels awesome!
