    Thanks for the advice! I just started today and I love it, I tried another site and you have to type all the food in manually :( this is so much better! Yes and I'm looking for pals so please hit me up people! I'm 274.4lbs started at 284.4 so I'm excited to get going in here. I'm so scared and worried I'm eating the wrong foods and just can't stay away from salt the sodium I love but will do what ever it takes to get this weight off any tips are very welcomed!!

    Thanks for your advice, as it hits home and means a lot to me. We have all had bad days for whatever reason and then we recover. You have demonstrated that. Thank you.

    I started my weight loss journey at the beginning of the year, kind of as a New Year's Resolution. I've lost 40 pounds so far and I feel AMAZING!! Try this system: http://fitfemlove.wordpress.com

    Your advice sounds really helpful, and I need some encouragement at this point. I have made some progress in my journey but I feel I get stuck every now and then after a few days of eating healthy and exercising. Every week, at least once or twice I eat bad food and I feel I cancel all the progress I had made so far. Any help or advice?

    No food is really bad if it is within your calorie goals. Think about the progress you HAVE made. One or two days is not gonna undo all your hard work so don't beat yourself up over it.

    Might be silly but I don't really know what people mean when they talk about stickies. And how would I make it a sticky?

    That's the thing. Every week, one or two days I go over above my calories, eating 3.000 to 4.000 cal of crappy food, such as biscuits, cookies, chocolate... The rest of the days I do eat helthy and exercise, I'm just frustrated with myself because I can't understand why I keep losing control or why I can't just do it only once every two weeks or month...

    Many should just copy this and stick it on their bathroom mirror.
