It's better to be on a computer because you'll actually be able to click on someones profile and add them. On mobile it doesn't work unfortunately.

My name is Monica, but i go by my middle name Elena :)

I would LOVE new friends! More to motivate, get motivated and meal ideas :) Don't be shy B)

I've been eating a lot of egg whites lately, and i don't like having to spray some butter in the pan, i feel uncomfortable doing it. I dislike bacon a lot.

Add people! It helps out a lot because you can get ideas and what not.

Yes that's exactly what i meant by it, i just didn't want to freak anyone out if they were sensitive about that talk. I've been told i should take measurements because of the differences. I can feel my collar bones a lot more if that counts for now haha.

That's why I had to remind myself that flow is coming to town and I always always always forget that you gain weight, but dang, at least just let me gain 1 pound, not 4!! I guess just seeing that number shoot up freaked me out more then it should have knowing the situation. I think it's just hard for me because i have my…

Thank you! Yes i have to remember that it takes time and it won't always give me the results i want the day i want them. After seeing that number i wanted to quit! I wanted to just give in and say screw it but i talked to one of the best motivators i have and they told me to keep going and i'm doing great. I just need to…

Exactly! Exactly. I mean yes i'm only TWO WEEKS in but i'm super hard on myself, i have my curiosities and sometimes they slap me in the face and makes me wish i just would of never been curious until my actual weigh in day.

That's exactly what i don't get! It's like hello, how did i gain 4 pounds in two days?! It's bad enough that i think if i eat a slice of bread i'll gain 5 pounds in a day but i've been doing SO good and staying under the intake with items i need to stay under. Still the number is taunting me even though that shouldn't be…

I'm blaming being hormonal! I try to stay under sodium, sugar and fat intake, i mean unless something is sneaking up on me! I had my cravings of kettle potato chips today but i didn't do it! I stepped away.

I usually weigh myself in the morning, every monday but after my work out i looked in the mirror and my stomach looked bigger, so i was pushed with curiosity. I wish i didn't weigh myself.

Thank you! i didn't want to feel too silly.

I give myself a break Friday-Sunday. But for example, this weekend I will be out at a party that will be catering italian food, I will be going by proper serving sizes of course but I will feel the need to work that off. I don't know if that's the proper thing to do or just not worry about it.

I also am starting to get full VERY VERY easily so it's hard to eat a lot throughout the day because I won't be hungry for quite some time.

I work out Monday-Thursday for 15 minutes on the Max Bowflex Trainer and it really kicks your butt. I don't work out Friday-Sunday unless I have a cheat day and want to make up for it. Yesterday I burned 121 calories in 15 minutes and I was completely exhausted at points where I thought I was going to have to stop. My…

My calories are low by the time i work out, i can't even get to my calorie goal, the most i can get in a day is 1000 instead of 1300.

That could be it, that i'm not eating enough beforehand. I work out after work at 430p, i have a salad for lunch and breakfast isn't a big thing for me, i only eat yogurt, banana, blueberries that's about it, i have about 10-12 cups of water a day.

Happiness and comfort isn't always a good thing, i let myself get to my heaviest i've been since high school and i was having gallbladder problems and was told i could easily get diabetes type 2. That made me want to change things. Along with being in my mid 20s and I can't shop at my favorite stores.

That's what I assume but I wasn't sure if it was just something that just happens haha burning 121 calories in 15 minutes shows something.

Thanks guys! I just want to make sure what I'm doing is healthy and won't screw me over in the end.

I have Fiber One bars Chocolate and Oats! I usually have them in the morning because of the carbs or I have it around 2-3pm (I work out at 4:30p) I have a semi-sweet tooth and it really hits the spot. OR you can try KIND Bars! They have a peanut butter and dark chocolate bar and those are FANTASTIC for you! Goodluck!

Hey there! I was in the same situation as you! I ate when I was upset/stressed out and definitely when I was bored. I wasn't drinking enough water at all! (about 5 glasses a day) I almost hit 200 pounds and I'm only 23. Also happy early birthday! (mine is the 15th :smile: ) Definitely cut your portions down, it's okay to…

You can do it! You've gotten so far and next thing you know you'll get rid of the last 9lbs and be absolutely happy along with feeling good B) Goodluck and share progress!
