I love cantaloup , i have it almost everyday. You can have a good portion, but its not alot of calories. Strawberries with a bit of dark chocolate drizzle on it, apples dipped in peanutbutter. I use salsa as a dipping sauce for alot of stuff, since it doesnt have alot of calories ( dip cucumber, celery, peppers, etc.)…

Hi, i have been changing my life style since September 2014, but only discovered MFP in November2014. I have lost 43 pounds since Sept. Some days are very difficult, others easier. I take one day at a time, and face everything with humor (it works for me) I have met such a wonderful bunch of people on this site, and some…

Just losing the weight can sometimes be the motivation. Every pound i lose, the better i feel, the more energy i have, the better i look. I have spent too many years looking in the mirror and not liking what i see. Not wanting to be in front of the camera, having no energy to do anything, getting winded very easily when i…

Hi, we all have our bad day, and some of those days are pretty bad. We feel bad, and think, what the heck, i am already doing badly, maybe i will just throw in the towel. The fact that you dont.... is the first step. Starting new habits, takes time, and a bit more time to instill as new habits. It will come, we have to…

Hi everyone, i had been struggling with my weight for many years now. Thyroid condition, hurt my knee,two children, no activity, too much food! I still have knee problems but try to get as much activity as i can before rubbing them down and taking tylenol. I started my weight loss and good eating routine before finding out…

WOW!!!! You look great, you must feel wonderful! Congratulations

I dont drink coffee at all, never have. Tea on the other hand, i have been drinking since about the age of 4. One of my neighbors was from England, and would invite me over for tea time every afternoon, for many years. I learned to appreciate tea. Since then, i have become a tea hoarder. I have every type of tea, in every…

Great success, you look amazing, keep up the good work.

Hi Lin,this is a complete lifestyle change, so its a long road, and not an easy one. You will have your good days, and your bad. You need to take one day at a time. I started my lifestyle change in sept2014, but only started with MFP in November of 2014. I have lost a total of 43 pounds. I still have a way to go, but like…

Brownsheep, i just ranted about this yesterday. I told everyone that we should have an OFF BUTTON after we are finished having our family, because after that point, we dont need this crap anymore. I feel for ya, just try and either not weigh yourself around that time, or weigh yourself but dont let it bother you, and dont…

Not an easy time to lose weight when its THAT TIME OF THE MONTH,the cravings can be unbelievable. I always joke with my husband that the baby making days are over and i am still looking for that off button. Dont you ladies think that there should be an off button when we are done making our family???? Yes I do!!!!

Love looking at these before and after pics. Its such an inspiration for us all. It shows us that anything is possible. Great job!!

I weigh myself every morning before tea. I log it on Fridays, but i like to see what my body is doing throughout the week. My weight fluctuates alot from day to day, and this gives me a good indication of where and when i retain the most fluids.

I have tried many times to lose weight (in other ways), i was never successful, i never stuck with it long enough to make a great difference. I was introduced to myfitnesspal in November 2014, and it changed everything. I started losing weight in September2014, but really started seeing a difference since starting with…

Hi! I think alot of us are in the same boat. I too, looked in the mirror and didnt see a difference in my reflection. It has only been recently that i can somewhat see that i have lost some weight. I think it takes awhile for the brain to catch up to the body. I see it in the numbers on the scale, and mostly, i see it in…

Hi almost 50 (in a few weeks) been on MFP since November 2014, but started my journey in September 2014, all total i have lost 40 pounds and still want to lose at least another40. Always up for new friends who will motivate, joke around and help eachother on this awesome journey forward. Add me if you like

Great way to keep the jelly beans out of reach.

Montreal, Canada, and its pretty cold here too. !!

First of all, congrats on the weight loss. Good luck with the interview too. Second, i was just having this exact conversation with someone today. My clothes are getting looser and looser, even my undergarments dont fit properly anymore. I know i will have to go and buy new clothes, sooner or later, but i am not looking…

Drinking a whole 2L bottle of pop in one day. Eating out two to three times a week. Lots and lots of carbs, without even thinking twice about it. Movie night, once a week, consisted of a whole bowl of butter popcorn, a bag of twizzlers, and two chocolate bars, and a whole bottle of coke. Learning how to do everything in…

You can add me as well!

Way to go! What a great story. Success, that's what everyone wants to hear.Good luck in the rest of your journey!

Oscar with Sylvester Stallone. It was one of his first comedies, it didnt get good ratings,yet i enjoy the movie very much.

Dont need to say anything at this point in time, since everyone here have covered everything that i would have said. Every day i find new things that surprise me about the new weight . I still have a ways to go, but am enjoying the trip, none the less. I wish everyone the best on their journey. Life should be taken with…

I started in November of 2014, but still here and logging in every day. I am so glad to see that alot of you have stuck with it.

Can't help falling in love with you....Elvis. Our wedding song 30 years ago. Still touches me everytime i hear it.

I usually gain anywhere from 3-6 pounds. I still weight myself and record it , but do not punch it in on MFP. About a week in ,the bloating finally finishes and i reweigh myself. As long as i dont over due the eating during that time, i can still manage to lose some weight during that week.

Always looking for more friends to motivate, and help motivate me. The more the better. We are all in this together, to help eachother get to our goals, whatever they may be. Add me if you would like.

I was big on reg. coke, and drank at least 2 or 3 glass a day. I was hooked. I dont think there was a day i didnt crave it. I cut it out all together, since it was high in calories and i was putting on more weight. I started drinking the coke zero, which is pretty close to reg. coke, but without the calories and i dont…

5'10", i was taller , but have shrunk a bit with age. I used to hate it, because taking class pictures, i was always in the back and the tallest. Dating was even worse. Nobody wanted to date such a tall woman, since all the guys i knew were between 5'6"-5'9", and they felt weird dating someone so tall. Now, its no problem,…
