As long as you are accurately logging & staying within your limit, I say snack away! If it makes you feel "ugh", try different types of snacks....yogurt, an apple, some almonds (yum!), the possibilities are endless! :)

Very nice progress! I'm proud that you power through your tough days and am still on track! I wish I wasn't so "OMG no" to take before pics :-/

I do the iifym stuff

I've found a new breakfast to try! This sounds yum!!

I just keep telling myself the weight came on slowly, it will come off slowly too.

This thread made me lmao...good thing I work by myself or else people would think I was a loon! Also, from the picture that magic banana looks really wide :o

Welcome to MFP!

Amazing story and I sincerely hope it helps everyone with image issues!! Congratulations :) |\/\/| (<not the fanciest of crowns, but I did the best with what I had to work with hehe)

Ouch. I don't have advice about losing so much weight in a few months but in the month of Jan I've lost almost 10 lbs by tracking my calories and averaging 3 days a week at the gym doing cardio and light weight training. Any loss is great and even if you don't make 60 by then you'll be fitter. Or just not indulge the…

I'm 5'2 as well and am 30 lbs into my weight loss. Current weight is 178. I'll send you a fr & we can motivate one another! :)

A health scare was it for me too. I found out I have a hereditary blood clotting disorder and my doctor said you have to get your weight in the healthy range to reduce your odds of developing clots (plus familial history of high blood pressure and heart disease). I finally stopped taking a doctor telling me I need to lose…

Amazing! Congrats!!

I had to shovel this morning and broke a sweat in my jacket, very uncomfortable feeling...yuck!

I personally don't restrict anything from my eating besides excess calories lol...When I crave something (only usually during my TOM) I'll indulge it. Last time it was chocolate, and all the holiday candy was on sale, so I bought a bag of Dove dark promises and had three a day until my cravings were gone and gave the rest…

Yay for Fridays, mine fall on random days too...I'm currently on my Wednesday night. Maybe you could start wearing a hole in the carpet around the office? That's what I do. I can't sit for hours and hours, I'd probably fall right asleep!

Well it's been snowing here for the past four or five hours and I've yet to hear the snow plow speed by so my trip home might be a little scary if they don't start plowing soon!

I work alone so all my interactions are via phone & email. Sometimes I am starved for human interaction!!

Very nice job!

Third shifter here as well. Four days of 6p-6a followed by four days off and repeat. On the nights I work, I eat breakfast shortly after waking, will eat my first snack around 8, lunch around midnight, sometimes I get the 2 o'clock yawns and will have some fruit or veggies then. Then dinner between 3 and 4. This is usually…

seconded! You are looking great!! :)

Hi weightlossme, I'm not trying to be aggressive here. And I don't think anyone else is but I do sense a bit of irritation. Mung beans do have their share of calories...even their sprouts do. Also on a side note, does all the caffeine from the black tea make you jittery?

I had to add a new hole to my belt today! I should just go out and buy a couple pairs of new jeans in a smaller size or two! :smiley:

There are so many tonight!

Just change the servings from 1 to .5
