Exactly!! I think it's totally okay to splurge once in awhile, I agree with you 100%. If you don't indulge once in awhile then you could end up obsessing over it. Which is never healthy. Maybe I'm being too harsh? I think people should do the best they can do, educate themselves, widen their knowledge of what "health"…

I agree!! "Dieting" is such a temporary word. It's what you hear on TV when women want to lose an unrealistic 5lbs. It's a horrible word, that should have nothing to do with weight loss LOL!!!

I'm in!!! SW: 365ish (last time I dared to weigh myself) CW: 326lbs Goal: 316lbs (by July 1st)

I didn't know Oregon was considered the PNW! 30 minutes North of Seattle here (Bothell).

I drive through Olympia when I go to Ocean Shores. Does that count?! Lol

LOVE it!!!!! Beautiful!!!

LOL Cute! However, if I were a stalker, I would do a much better job at being incognito :) .. I do enjoy the community forums though, and I see her very frequently when I comment on my thread.

I've seen you post at least three threads (recently) asking for friends or someone to talk too. Why don't you try engaging people past "hello" ? -- The conversations last MUCH longer ;)

Oh man. McDonalds should just have toilets installed as their general seating area. I don't know how anyone can go there and NOT get "McDonald-gutitis" almost instantly. It is not food. It is NOT appetizing. So. Dang. GROSS!!! hahahaha

REALLY!?! Smaller than Allen? .. Hmmmm... I didn't really know that was possible! Though, I did have a friend that lived on Treasure Island, near grapeview. And it was the smallest little place I've ever seen haha.

I am not a huge fan of Tacoma, I don't know it that well, and I usually end up lost hahahaha.. BUT - Welcome to WA :) we ARE pretty awesome here haha.

Ahhhhhh I love Kirkland!!! I am so ready for summer as well!! Enough of this wishy washy stuff :) Just give me the sunshine, and some beach time hahaha

Why did you start in the first place? What was your reason for wanting to start in the very beginning? What originally sparked your fire to live a healthier life style? - that's your motivation. That's what you hold on to when you don't feel like it.

The majority of weight loss happens in the kitchen. Find healthy meals, food prep, eat to nourish your body, and stay within your calorie limits. You could try swimming or exercises that you can do while sitting! Motivation is something past "I don't feel like it" - it's reaching inside yourself and finding WHY you're…

Perhaps to WA DC :) not WA state though!

HAHA!! I'm down my fellow 12'er!!! :) IL is a long ways away!

Hello hello!!! North OF Seattle here! Well - technically I claim Bothell AND Quincy WA. Since I've spent equal amounts of time in both areas haha. FYI - Carbs are the first things we burn off when we exercise because they convert to glucose so easily... which is what we use for fuel. We need them! They give our brain…

Next week too! .. considering it is MFP and we're all on the same path to a healthier us ;)

I visited Texas once.. I went for a walk in February and it was so humid I would have been safer to bring some steak knives to cut the air before I walked through it. and WHOA what is with Home depot or Lowes!? ... They have these huge groups of men standing at the end of the parking lot that stare at you as you drive by..…

DYING :D :D :D

That so rocks!! Competing huh!? That is some serious commitment!! Way to go!! I am on the opposite spectrum, eating nutrient dense foods to lose weight. I keep the carbs down, respectively of course! <3 the PNW. Well. Not 405 or the tolls. Or rush hour on a saturday night on I5 because people are headed to the bars, but…

Ohhhhh - I grew up outside of Bremerton. Don't tell anyone that though. It's really hard to admit I know where Ghorst, Belfair and Allen are hahaha!!!

Hey all! I am 6ft, starting weight of (the last time I dared to step on a scale) was 365lbs. I'm down to 328 currently. Looking to be around 180lbs. I think of this as a lifestyle change, not a diet. I enjoy friends of the same mindset. Give yourself grace on bad days, believe in progress not perfection, and keep on…

I'm with you there! I'd say over half my friends stopped logging in. Active, healthy, friends are the best :)

I LOVE this ^^^^^ - I also love open diaries, which I have (to my friends) - Though, today I am trying to recover from some crazy tummy bug that my daughter and I got, so MFP won't let me log it due to lack of calories - which I totally support healthy eating habits and fueling the body properly! - I'd say over half my…

Feel free to add me! I have an open diary for my friends and am an active user :) Welcome to the community!!

Hey All!!! I am 32, and have 158lbs to lose. I'm 6ft, started around 365lbs I think (I stopped weighing myself when the scale got that high).. I'm down to 328 now. My next goal is to just be under 300lbs. Once I reach that I will set another goal! I just started and am in the middle of my first 24 day challenge with…

Hey All!! I'm Lexi. I am currently down 30lbs, have 158lbs to lose. I am looking for active friends as well!! I have an open diary for my friends to see, love cooking from scratch, don't eat wheat/flour or dairy (expect occasionally cheese/yogurt/eggs). I love my fitbit, and love seeing my friends succeed! Anyone that is…

Only 15.5lbs!? You worked for those 15.5lbs!! Good for you. Don't knock it!!! I have 158lbs to lose. I'm 328.2lbs as of today. I have small goals! My next goal is to just get under 300lbs. I don't eat dairy (except cheese or yogurt occasionally), and no wheat or flour! We got this :)

You can download an app called "groupme" and add people to one group. So everyone can be in the group text!
