I usually log every Tuesday, after I wake up & visit the bathroom. I'm holding myself to logging once a week, toward the beginning of the week for the sake of consistency, & I decided not to do it on Mondays because there's so much emphasis placed on Mondays as being the dreaded beginning of the week... lol. I have been…

Also breads, pastas, garlic bread, & brownies are things I get huge cravings for at times

Whoa, whoa, you making me crave DQ blizzards... I haven't let myself go in a Dairy Queen for a long time. Normally easy to talk myself out of it - it's near the college campus & usually packed with people, so that deters me. Pizza can be a downfall. Been getting cravings lately for that & knew I would end up binging if I…

Whoa... I bet that dog feels better now!! I'm a 2nd shifter. I've always been a night owl, so the hours suit me pretty well

Great job! Very inspiring! I'm on a journey to onederland myself :) Thanks for sharing!

Can you try preplanning a menu & sticking with it? Or taking a route that does not take you past vending machines, avoiding restaurants, etc? Eating only food that you've made at home? Or... what I do, moderate.. allow yourself some fries, a kit kat, etc. but make sure you are countering that stuff with exercise. Log…

Hi Dan. Wow, you're doing awesome!! Maybe you can help keep me motivated also. I'm Jana. I'm 34 & I live in Weston, Ohio. I joined MFP a little over a month ago. I've lost about 30 pounds in the past 3 months. I've got around 90 more pounds to go, but I might reevaluate as I get closer to my goal. I've been tracking every…

Hey, I read on Facebook that when you drink distilled spirits (what you're calling hard liquor), it is not being alcoholic, it's called being spiritual. I read on the Internet -- it must be true! lol

well, you'll get lots of B vitamins from all that beer...

protein shakes & protein bars at times also. spinach, kale, green leafies, cucumber. a big salad with some grilled chicken or hard boiled eggs & veggies & light dressing like balsamic or vinaigrette is very good

Chicken, popcorn, veggies, eggs, beans... things that are high in protein & fiber are best

I see we have similar goals... I'm trying to lose about 120 pounds. 23 down so far, more to go. I'll be a friend if you want :)

Start small & keep going. Improvements add up, just keep at them! You can do it. If you notice you did something you "shouldn"t have," just take it as a lesson learned/something to improve upon & keep going. Tomorrow is a new day :smile:

I'm 34/F from Ohio, USA. 265 pounds down from 288. @Healthicidal -- oh my. You have plenty of things "weighing" on you. & don't worry about the right place to vent on these things. They definitely affect how you feel as a person & play into the whole matter. I can relate to a few of the items on your list... 6 years ago I…

I'm on a journey to lose about 110-120 pounds.. 23 lost so far... I'm making pretty steady progress. I might reevaluate my goal as I get closer. I've been here on MFP 3 weeks now. Easy program; the hardest part is keeping myself accountable, lol, but it's working! Anyone who would like to can send me a friend request - we…

Welcome :smiley: I've been here for 3 weeks now & I'm already seeing definite progress. I think the main thing is it helps keep me accountable. As long as I am keeping track of everything I'm putting into my mouth, I'm doing good, lol! Learning portion sizes is another biggie that really helps, & adding exercise to the mix…

Great job! Welcome from Ohio :smile:

Hi! I just turned 34, & just joined MFP about a week & a half ago. I have over 100 pounds to lose (down 22 so far). I'm not sure how to add friends either, though i'd like some for more motivation!

I find myself snacking on popcorn pretty often lately

I was in WW for a few months, 3 years ago. I lost 24 pounds while I was in but didn't like their point system either. After I quit, someone once told me that 1 WW point is about equal to 50 calories. I don't think WW takes into consideration one's activity level -- they just assign a certain number of points somehow?

Oh, & I'm a Gordon fan too :smile:

Welcome! I'm pretty new here, too (a couple weeks or so). I was in WW 3 years ago, for 4 or 5 months. I lost 24 pounds while I was there, but it was expensive & I wasn't that fond of the whole points system or how all their foods have fake sugars & artificial stuff in them. So far I'm liking MFP & I'm doing just as well…

Thank you for the article! It is hard sometimes to explain the differences in sugars to people. HFCS is something I definitely avoid whenever possible, because your body processes it differently as well as the whole GMO craziness. That can take such a toll on a person's body.

Yep, a lot of that sugary carby stuff (including pasta, which I love) causes me crazy desires to eat more following that slump. I find that I can't completely eliminate these things but I'm doing what I can to cut back as I realize just how much added sugar is in most processed foods, even those labeled as healthy. & it…
