Wow, you lost 46 pounds which is awesome in itself and worth celebrating! I can't imagine he would have a holy cow moment over something that is now in the past..... And it could be a good motivator to drive you on through maintaining your loss. Has he asked what you weigh now?? You say that he isn't shallow and loved you…

I would plan my day around dinner..... But I would also probably gush over her cooking and ask to have her teach me because I love it sooooo much ;) Good luck!

I do a farmhouse strata.... You can add meat, veggies, cheese, eggs or egg beaters or egg whites. It is like a crustless quiche. One fourth of a pie tin would only be 350 or so depending on what you put in it and you have breakfast for a couple of days.

I see more than a "slight" difference! Great job !!

Swimming a couple times a week has done wonders for me!

Way to go <3

Congratulations Ruthee :) I am only one month into maintenance and hope to be such a great example when I hit the year mark!!

You only need B supplements at your age if you are low in your blood tests.... otherwise you will just pee out any excess your body doesn't need (except the niacin for instance). I take a Super B complex with viramin c because I was born with pernicious anemia and need to in order to avoid painful shots. Green tea is…

Both of my OB's explained to me that there is no such thing as a 50 pound baby. While pregnancy should not be an excuse for a free for all, only your OB can direct your specific dietary needs with the assistance of a registered dietician if need be. Congratulations <3

@ ThomasWright1997....... I am sure you do understand she is seeking to lose135 pounds, not that she weighs 135 pounds :(

Happy August 1st my sweet misfit friends <3. The last couple of weeks have been action packed at the house I am prepping for sale, and I feel like I haven't had a moment. I have so much to catch up on and miss you all so much!!! We are several days in on 100 degree weather for the 3rd time this year, which is highly…

Angelfire, I have tears of joy for you as I read this <3. What an awesome day!!!! I have been so proud of you watching those lost pounds add up!! What a fantastic NSV :) Tami

I am right there with you Vicki and Evelyn <3. I have lost those same pounds more times than I care to remember. My biggest fallacy was always thinking I "got" it then the slow weight creep occurs and I would get comfy with the new numbers. When it happens slowly over years it seems easier to justify the weight gains. This…

Way to go <3. You have a blessed weekend as well and keep up the good work!!!!

@2snakeswoman I think I saw somewhere that when they switched servers or something last fall it stopped working and they haven't bothered fixing it yet. It will show up on your home page but not as a signature to your posts.

Congratulations <3. I am in the camp that you wait to share the news until the 2nd trimester.

If you don't feel comfortable yet walking in public, there are some GREAT walking videos on YouTube by Leslie Sansone for instance you can do in the privacy of your living room. Of course you miss out on the sunshine, fresh air, birds singing and squirrels playing in the trees, but the important thing is to start moving :)…

I am under5', 54, and lost 30 pounds since January.... Maintaining now at 120. There really is no secret here. If you don't feel comfortable eating at 1200, you need to settle for really slow weight loss, which is going to happen anyway given you are already at a healthy weight..... Or you find SOMETHING you can and will…

You definitely need to be patient. My last eight pounds came off at roughly one half pound every two or three weeks. Incredibly frustrating but if you stick with it, suddenly you wake up at your goal weight :) I also had to stop weighing more than once every couple of weeks in order to actually see the movement on the…

Hi there... I am 54, 5' and hit my goal weight of 120 a month ago. I have worked my way back to 1300 or so calories a day as I entered maintenance and have been within a pound or so of 120 all month. I will continue to work my calories up but even MFP tells me to only expect 1340?? Hope not! I also have a significant…

I was just shooting to be back in my size 4 petites. Not sure exactly what happened, but I breezed right past that closet full of 4's and ended up in 0's and 2's when I reached my goal weight

Just measure and log it :) Sometimes when I am having a day higher in fats, I use the I can't believe it's not butter spray. So long as you are logging and weighing and accounting for ALL your foods you should use what you like and be just fine.

There are several recipe websites that automatically link to the MFP app recipe builder if you are interested. Yummly is one of them. Best wishes :)

Let me guess..... If logging your food is too much effort, weighing it before you eat it must be torture?? Weight loss happens in the kitchen, while working out benefits overall health. I have 3 or 4 prprelogged breakfasts, my standard salads, and numerous meals I enjoy . Easy peasy, you go to your diary, hit meals, choose…

Great numbers @RiverCameron and @Angelfire365. :) Monday continues to be my weigh in day, although I find myself stepping on more frequently now that I am actively maintaining. One month today since I reached my goal weight and I am happy to report the scale was straight up 120 o:) Here is to another good week everyone <3

Good advice above :) Be aware that Cleaning is already accounted for in your regular daily activity unless you are doing something extra strenuous on occasion. You should only count the calorie burn from intentional exercise, and eat back50-75% at most. Yes, you also need to account for fruits and veggies..... Everything…

Hi... 5' and 54 here. I finally reached 120 a month ago and have held steady there for the past month. Prior to that my loss slowed to 1/2 pound every 2-3 weeks. I gave up reaching118 and have just the tiniest of deficits at 1250-1300 calories. It appears I am probably around a half pound every four or five weeks now, but…

Just be mindful of the high sodium content in cottage cheese or you could find yourself retaining water and be upset with us LOL

So funny :)

How short and small?
