Thanks, @TimothyFish

I agree, just don't weigh yourself during that time. If it makes you unhappy, don't torture yourself. Why bother to weigh yourself and see a number that you know isn't completely accurate because you are so bloated and heavy from water weight!? Good luck! :)

I have a desk job also and when I started I gained about 20 lbs. here are some tricks I picked up after a year that have worked for me... -if you have a water cooler, get up and walk to it frequently this also causes you to... -get up to walk to the bathroom more and, -get all your water in for the day -walking on your…

How runny your poo gets if you eat loads of veggies :smile: [/quote] Right there with you! :smiley: How After eating healthy for so long, you take one cheat meal, and you feel like utter crap! How much better you feel, more energy, no more knee problems, stay up later and wake up earlier because of your energy! so many…

Hi Lizz! I am young and overweight as well! Let's be friends... Stay strong, motivated, and above all always love yourself enough to, well, love yourself! You are doing the first step right now! you are here, ready and willing. Don't stop now, girlfriend! MFP and I are here for you, 100%! Personally, I love a good strong…

First step is admitting it. If you don't already, pick up a hobby you can do anytime. One that you enjoy. Whether it is a Sudoku game, knitting, or a new book. Keep your mind occupied and eventually, along with diet and exercise, i think you won't think about it so much. I don't know what a vsg is but good luck and I hope…

Just bought my Fitbit Charge HR last night and loving the first day of it, today! :)

@shadowfax_c11 I LOVE this idea! :)

I literally just bought the Charge HR last night. It monitors my sleep quality, counts calories burned, steps, and stairs, and Heart Rate. I am still learning about it, but i synced it up with MFP and it seems like a great investment. I just wear it like a watch (which it is also) and go about my day. It is lightly water…

LOL! love this. so true!

You say "high-protein foods". Maybe you are gaining a lot of muscle? Also, take your measurements. Don't rely solely on the scale. It is also a slow process. Though, a change should have happened within 6 weeks. I would take your measurements and make sure you are getting a balanced meal! Good luck and whatever you do,…

Colorful is important, if you ask me. No one saying to make a rainbow salad but, you will get different vitamins and nutrients by eating a variety of foods. They almost go hand in hand. Instead of focusing on the colors, find healthy recipes that you would like to try. Good luck!

That's Davis. :/

Wow! Congrats! Inspirational! :)

@LovingLifeInCalifornia You are so brave to post full body pics. You look great. Keep up the good work! :)

no :)

Time goes by so fast. If you stick with it and don't think about the number, you will be down 90 before you know it! Never give up!

I'm 5'6" , 25, 201.3 lbs. Target weight is 125.

Adding on to the above comments, which i agree with a lot of them, you need to mix things up while still being healthy. Your body is getting used to the same workout and isn't gaining anything from it. You need to try some swimming or biking or even walking! Good luck and whatever you do, don't give up.

LOL. Truth.

I like So Delicious Hazelnut Coconut Creamer. I am slowly weaning myself off of creamer all together. It takes time and black coffee is an acquired taste for sure. I used to be like you, coffee with my creamer. I used to have about half a cup of coffee and half a cup of coffeemate hazelnut creamer! BAD! someday I will…

I feel your pain! I get gas ALL. THE. TIME! burps, toots, cramps, poops, all of it lol! Never with protein bars that I can think of. Have you tried Epic bars? They are paleolithic.

How do I stay motivated...? I look at myself in the mirror, naked. LOL :)

I will definitely be your friend! :)

I am a huge believer in eating as much of an animal as possible, eggs included. Use it all, eat it all. I hate wasting food and it is good that you are trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the yolk but, i would just eat the whole thing! Instead of worrying about the egg being too many calories or something,…

Hello all. I am so excited to be doing this challenge and even more excited to be able to follow along with other people! Will be starting day 1 after my 4 mile walk this evening! :smiley:
