    Just a tip. You might not want to weigh yourself every morning. I refuse to because I can get so focused and discouraged about that number that it really alters my mood for a good part of the day.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. On top of the water and healthier choices try to some activity this weekend as well.

    I'm trying to get into the habit of weighing once a week, meaning, my next weigh in is Sunday morning... I'm taking my own advice of not freaking myself out and putting a lot of pressure on everything. Thanks

    Hello everyone. Hope you're all doing great, and reaching your personal targets
    This is turning out to be a very active week for me, and I've already put in 49 fitness minutes since yesterday and burnt 593 calories... (I know what you're thinking... big deal!:bigsmile: )... it is a big deal coz I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to exercise

    I'm only concentrating on my meals and exercise, and NO weigh ins (only on Sunday mornings). I no longer feel as though I'm on edge lol:flowerforyou: have a beautiful day, all!

    maili---it is a big deal. Anytime we get up and move especially having 100 lbs to lose. It is an accomplishment. Way to go!!!!! I only weigh in every other week with my nutrientionalist because I get to hung up on what that numbers says and if it hasn't gone down or down as much as I think it should it really effects my outlook. So in my opinion you are concentrating on the correct things.

    Go go girl.

    I myself have started walking or doing the elliptical for an hour a day. Walking a 5k on Saturday. Just keep swimming.....:flowerforyou:

    Hi Everyone! I'm Diane and have been using myfitnesspal for about a month and a half. I've been really discouraged lately. I generally don't stick to any kind of "lifestyle change" - usually by breakfast I've messed up and I don't even think about it again til the end of the day. So, I've found this site to be really helpful to make me more mindful of my eating, so I've done "better" with this than most efforts, but still, I'm just ready to be done with it all. I really enjoy exercise for the most part, but the diet change is not happening really much at all, so i think this is why I haven't been losing weight recently. I admit, I almost feel anxious at the thought of eating salad incessantly and giving up all my favorite foods... Have any of you found a way to take some of the pain out of this?

    Now I am not one to give advice on how to "stick to" a healthy eating plan but please don't eat just salad! I get depressed just thinking about that. I would rather eat two bites of a food I love than hate a giant salad. I think there is a place for salad and other veggies but we have to eat foods we like or what's the point?

    Hello, I came accross this board a while ago and then forgot about it! I just haven't learned how to use the forums and community stuff very well. Been doing good. I started couch to 5k training a few weeks ago! Kicking my hind end! The last 2 weeks I have not had any weight loss even though I have maintained my calories and am staying active... but, i feel different in my clothes and more people are noticing! going to concentrate more on the feeling of health rather than the number on the scale! haha. i will still probably do my weekly friday morning scale check though. have a great week. attack this week!

    Trust me, I don't just eat salad! LOL! That would never happen! My husband is a picky eater - very thin, but he eats all junk. I would never have the will power to say "no" to all of it. I don't make my food diary available because I know I'm not eating healthy and would be embarrassed for people to see how I eat. I've been managing to stay under my calorie goal and the weight has started to come off again and I hit one of my mini-goals this week. I've been really heavy for 4 years now at 288, went to my doctor to get help and she gave me an upper - when I figured out what it was I stopped taking it, but it messed up my metabolism and I began to gain and went over 300. Now I'm finally close to hitting 288 again - when I see 287 I just might cry. :wink: I'm so glad I haven't had to become vegan or go to some crazy extremes to see the weight come off again. I'm trying not to buy as much pre-packaged food and make more homemade from scratch. Thanks for the encouragement though.

    I could use some friends on here - so please feel free to add me - I'll be glad to encourage you as well. :smile:

    Just a quick shout out, I have my blood pressure follow-up today with my MD. Have lost almost 30 lbs since last appt, so hoping maybe that will have been what i needed to get the bp down to a healthy range so that I can get off the meds. Wish me luck!
