Walking only isn't enough to lose weight. Like others have said, you have to eat a calorie deficit too. Walking certainly helps. I try to get 10,000 steps in every day. I work in an office too, but I walk during my lunch break and eat at my desk. Maybe other people aren't allowed to eat at their desks at work? I don't…

I'm 5'10 too and it's really inspiring to know someday I can look like that too. Good job.

Well, it sounds like you know what not to do since you gained 60 pounds with your last pregnancy. I learned a lot from my first pregnancy, like I can't eat whatever I want and expect to not get fat. Of course your going to gain the most weight towards the end of your pregnancy. Your boobs get heavier, you've got a 6-8…

I suppose, technically, it's accurate to say you lost 76 pounds of weight as long as you make it clear that you didn't lose 76 pounds of fat. Whatever makes you feel better, but it is rather misleading. I counted my start weight after I had the baby and after all my fluid retention was gone. I was 230ish when I gave birth…

You should read the $#!t storm this article caused in the general weight loss forums...

You don't need any fancy "diet" plans or gimmicks. Those are just a waste of money. It really is as simple as eating less calories than you burn. If you stick with whatever MFP has set for your calorie goal and stay within that recommendation, you will lose weight. Make sure you're being honest about what and how much…

Over ate when I was pregnant. Gained 30 lbs with both pregnancies. Then waited a year after the 2nd baby to do anything about it. Now I'm 10lbs away from my ideal weight.

No way! Your so...bronze. Good on you.

I love ranch dressing, but not from the bottle; yuck. If you buy hidden valley ranch in a packet (or bulk at Costco) you can use fat free milk and light mayonnaise and it comes out to 45 calls per tbsp. It's still very tasty

Tapeworms *snort*. That'd be fun to tell people just to see their reaction. I can picture it now "Oh, yeah. Haven't you heard about it?" "It's all the rage" "you can by the larvae in capsule form" "I eat whatever I want and the weight falls right off" "Oh, except now I have tape worms falling out of my butt. Gross, but…

Did you know that 73.6% of statistics are made up? Your friend sounds like a miserable person who wants other people to be miserable too. If you truly want to lose weight you have to commit for the long-term. There are no fad diets or quick fixes that are going to keep the weight off long-term. Slow and steady wins the…

My breakfast is usually the same thing, there is very little variation to it. I don't think it's bad. If you know what you like and it works for you, eat it! I don't know about grapes and cottage cheese though ...

I would avoid anything with the slogan " Fast and Sustainable weight loss" This sounds like a very restrictive diet and one that probably is not sustainable (even though it claims to be). Why not just do the calories in calories out diet instead?

Go you!

I blew it yesterday. Looks like it's going to be mostly sober September for me. Scratching lotto tickets with my mom and then watching the new Mad Max together (pretty stupid movie. I don't ever need to watch it again) drinking just sounded soooo good. Back on the wagon today.

Wait, what? Whoever said fruits are bad for you needs to pull their head out of their @$$. That's just plain old wrong.

You could always grab a can of beer, dump it out in the sink and fill it back up with water. That way they think you're drinking with them

It's been my experience that most people don't give a s*** if you aren't drinking. I've never been to an adult party where my friends were trying to force booze on me. If I said no thanks, they'd shrug and keep on keeping on. Just say no and hopefully your friends won't be dicks and try to pressure you.

Welp, Friday is here and along with it, a 3 day weekend. Today is definately a trigger day for me. I almost always drink on the weekends. It will be challenging to say no to that beer calling my name. Especially since my whole family will be drinking around me. If I can make it this whole weekend without drinking, I'll be…

Has anyone here heard of "don't break the chain"? You pick a goal, get a calendar, a big fat green pen and a big fat red pen. Each day you work towards your goal the calendar gets a big green X. Soon your green X's start piling up. When you are demotivated, take a look at your chain and ask yourself, do I really want to…

I love sparkling mineral water. Not the sweet kinds, just plain old carbonated water with natural lemon flavor. Yum. It's a good alternative to beer. You get the fizz, but not the calories.

Hi everybody. My name's sherry and it's been 3 days since my last drink. I'm going to give this a shot. I can easily put away 8-12 beers in a day (on the weekend). I don't get f***** up, unfortunately I handle alcohol pretty well. It's not good for weight loss though (or my liver). I don't have any issues quitting…

Hahahahaha ha! I about died when "she" jumped into the ocean.
