  • Hi. I'm Mercy from NJ. This is a great place to lose. Log everything you put in your mouth. Water is your friend, get use to drinking it. Don't waste your time on other beverages. If you need some frizz get a sparkling water that has zero carbs, zero sodium and no apartame. Eat clean (fruits, veggies, lean meats and whole grains), weigh ur food, get well rested and move. U will have a bad day, get over a start fresh the next day. Don't let one bad day become weeks or months. Get a buddy to workout with you. Find something you njoy. I love to exercise, don't feel right if I don't hit the gym. Eat your calories that MFP sets for you. Do try to stay under eat what they give u without going over and staying too far below. If you exercise you will be given more calories. Some will say eat back some will say don't. Eat if your hungry and don't if your not. Good luck on your journey. Stick with it.

    Another idea: add a bit of juice (grape works best) to some fizzy water--usually 3:1ish--and add ice... Presto/Chango...instant "soda." I use this a lot in the summer, when I want a bit of fizzy-drink, but don't want the crap of soda...and it does hydrate you, and offers some nutrients (vitamins, etc) when it gets so hot that you don't really feel like eating.

    C'mon guys enough with the sarcastic comments and childish behaviour. Before you dish out the comments ask yourselves would you treat your only children like this who have a weight problem. This is nothing only internet bullying and pathetic! Give her a break, regardless of her age she has taken the courage to ask for help and I thought this was a site for support and motivation??? To the OP feel free to add me!

    You look old enough to be my mother, and for you to say that, i'm kind of disappointed. I would expect this from someone my age, but for a woman of your stature to do that....Wow. Thats just wrong Ma'am. The man who first commented was at least civil. But the other adults on here...WOW. I could see some of you being my teachers. It's okay to point something out to someone, but it's another thing to use passive aggressiveness and be rude. Looks like the older generation isn't as great as their made to be. I'm glad I was taught my manners, and that when you tell someone something, you say it in the proper way.

    ^^ AMEN! We have anti-bullying laws and adults can't even set the example for the kids!! I have kids her age on my bus, and here she is seeking out help. Did y'all forget what it feels like to be an overweight teen? Shame on the so-called "adults" on here!

    Here here!
  • You can do it babe, just think positive if you have a bad day and you **** up don't dwell on it move on but learn from it. For example I can't be trusted with a loaf bread so I buy a bread roll sometimes if I need it for a sandwich. Good luck we are all on thos website for the same reason.
