I swear I was just thinking about this a couple hours ago, as I found myself almost obsessing because I wasn't able to precisely calculate the number of calories of some chicken I ate when I was hungry after exercising (I estimated roughly). I was wondering, am I obsessing like some people I know who have other…

Chi Town, USA :D

I'm on the journey too :)

I'm going through the same struggle :)

add sent...I find that having friends who comment on my progress, and whose progress I comment on, helps a lot! :)

me three :)

you have to track your calories, period.

me too :)

hey :P

Yeah, I have oatmeal (with other grains) and ground flax seeds with honey and cinnamon, it keeps me satisfied for a couple hours or so. That with a banana keeps me going until lunch. I have a light lunch (healthy sandwich with veggies), for a snack before the gym I have fat free greek yogurt with frozen berries, and after…

I love craft beers too...anyway, a friend of mine once said something that has stuck with me: Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. :D

I understand completely, every day is a struggle! :D

i think you mean past tense

I'm not a new mom but I'm on a mission too :p

Hi, I want more MFP friends! anyone please add me....

add...the more support and reinforcement the better!

You definitely can lose 20 lbs in 9 weeks....I think 23 would be a bit too much. Really, it's not healthy to lose more than 2 lbs per week. Just stick with the program and you can do it! I lost 3 lbs in my first week, and I'm going to stick with it for 10 weeks or so....

I'm in a similar situation, and I find that giving and receiving support on MFP really helps! Anyone add me please

Yes, I have been doing body pump twice (and sometimes three times) per week for 2.5 years, except during periods of time when I was ill or injured.

I'm trying--no I'm going--to lose 15-25 lbs, so I'm in the same boat! I have made friends with a lot of people already in the week since I've been actively tracking, it definitely helps! I'll send you an add :p

My goal is to lose 15-25 pounds, so I'm sorta in the same boat! Add me if you want...I find that people's support, feedback and comments help a lot!

I have 15-25 to lose, I'll support you! :D

I love craft beer, tattoos and conservatives. Oh well....

I decided on a start day as well, it's been a week roughly, and I've been really good since then. It sounds like you're really determined! Just stick with it. I find that I have a tough time staying under my daily calorie allowance, so make sure to get in exercise in order to earn more calories (and to speed up your…

wow, lots of good suggestions :)

me too! sending invite

Hey, I'm looking for more MFP friends too...anyone please add! :)

Well, I just got back into it this past week, so I'm not sure I have it under control...but thanks! :)

Great work!

I honestly think the two most important things are tracking what you eat--no matter what--and exercising 6-7 days per week (even if it's just a long walk) in order to earn more calories. I'm trying to burn 500-1000 calories per day at the gym in order to be able to eat enough. If I don't exercise, it's a struggle to stay…
