I was 191 at my heaviest and 164 when I started MFP this February. Now I'm 140 and plan to get down to 125 or 130. No pictures yet but soon. I eat whatever I want as long as it fits my calorie goal and I exercise but only 2 or 3 times a week. I have 3 kids and work a lot so I don't have much spare time. You can do it!

No pictures, but I was 164 and am now 141. Since February I've lost the weight and am trying to lose at least 6 more pounds. I've been calorie counting and doing a little exercise. Calorie counting is the magic key to success.

I have a similar story that goes back 8 years and to get back on track I had to start smalll. For one week I simply added more water and no more sugary drinks. Then week 2 I started going on walks. Then week 3 I limited my calories to under 2,000. Then the next week was a smaller amount of calories. I kept doing this week…

My two year old.

I pre plan the night before and plan my snacks that I know I'm gonna eat. I only take the food that I have planned with me. I'm a teacher too and a stress eater, but pre planning works best for me.

I always drink lots of water like at least 80 ounces the day after overeating. It seems to help me.

I'm on week 7 of C25K. I've lost 2 inches around my waist, 4 inches around my thighs, 2 inches around my calves, and 2 inches around my butt. It has made a huge difference in how healthy I feel and how my clothes fit. I'm also counting calories.

I love carbs too but I find that I have to eat less food on the days I want to eat high carb meals. I can eat so much more by putting protein, fruits and veggies as a priority.

You look great! Congratulations!

Ceembee my stats are almost exactly like yours. I carry my weight well too and people say I will be anorexic if I lose 15 mor pounds but I would only be 135. So frustrating and such a slow process. I need help too.

I tend to go over my calorie count at least once a week but not so much that I will gain weight. If I go out to eat I plan for it and try to order from the lighter version menus. I try to plan ahead every day and log what I think I'm going to eat ahead of time. This way I can save room for treats I want to eat too. Don't…

That's about how much more I am trying to lose. Feel free to add me.

I know how you feel. It's easy to give up. Losing weight is hard but so is being overweight. So you have to choose which hard you want to have in your life (heard that from someone else). When I was almost 200 pounds I chose to make a change. I set the smallest goal to lose 3 pounds a month and I would work at it for a…

I love sweets and fried food but I love veggies and fruits too. I plan my whole day out and save room for the things I like. I've still lost weight! You can add me and look at my diary.

GO FOR IT! I'm kinda the same. People say I look just fine at 147 and 5 foot 6 but I want to be 135 or less and get rid of the problem areas that I see. Need to do some toning too. GO FOR IT THOUGH! You are the one who has to be happy in your skin. Instead of feeling g wishy washy just take it slow and make diey/exercise…

Take pictures. Maybe your body is changing...gaining muscle and losing fat. The scale won't show that.

I try not to eat my exercise calories back, but when I do I only eat a few of them. MFP gives me more calories than I actually burn so I'm careful not to eat that much.

I need this too.

Don't let her jealousy stop you. If you are truly that good of friends then next time she says something just let her know it is hurtful. Talking about your feelings can help and who knows maybe that will inspire her to get healthy for her wedding. :)

Thought of a few more: I love butterball turkey bacon. I cook it until it is crisp like chips. Only 25 calories per piece. Also, non fat frozen yogurt, berries, humus, avocados, tuna and ritz (I like broccoli dipped in tuna and light mayo), cherry tomatoes, dark chocolate dipped strawberries or pretzels, turkey meat, kiwi,…

Grapes or any fruits Vegetables Peanut butter Pretzels Yogurt String cheese Popcorn Canadian bacon Boiled eggs Pickles Granola bars, special k bars, protein bars, Nutrition bars Protein shakes English Muffins Dry cereal (healthy) If your craving sweet you can have about 35 jelly bellies for less than 150 calories Sugar…

I have had 3 c sections. My latest one was a year ago. My highest non pregnancy weight was 191. I'm now 148 and the flab over the scar is still there. I wish the flabbiness would go away but I'm happy to keep the scar as a birthmark for my 3 babies.

When I first started on February 6th I didn't change how I ate and I logged everything I ate the first day so I had an idea of how much work I needed to do. I ate almost 2200 calories. I had about 30 pounds to lose so I am eating between 12 and 15 hundred calories a day now. It really isn't hard. I eat about 200 calories…

So sad! I believe in one marriage for life but only 5 months and already these problems. It could lead to a lot worse. I'd leave him. Focus on myself for awhile. And find a true prince charming! You don't sound Like you have a lot to lose. I bet in one year you could go from where you are today to a perfect body. Also if…

Sorry one more thing. I would never consider anyone a friend who uses four letter language towards me and tweets negativity about me! Apology or not, it is unacceptable!

How much time do you want to waste on someone who doesn't trust you, doesn't respect you, And uses swear words towards you? Is that really the kind of life you want to have? If so go for it. If not, you need to drop him cold turkey. Allow yourself to date and feel special to others. Trust your friends. They probably do…

Spaghetti squash, olives, strawberry flavored foods (but I love strawberries).

Don't log your exercise.

Someone asked me today if I have lost weight. I said yes and her reply was that she could see it in my face.
