I'm trying so hard to contain myself. If I based everything on one week separated out, I could say the time I got the stomach bug I lost 10 lbs in one week, it was an awesome diet. no food whatsoever!!!! I'm averaging a 2 lb loss per week, after 32 weeks at this.

I can tell you are absolutely hilarious, and I will remember that!

I was in such denial, like if i didn't tell him, or anyone else then they wouldn't know hahaha!!!! LIke anyone couldn't see I was closing in on 300! DUH! now if they want to know i tell them. I'm so over being "shy" about what I weighed/weigh.

When they mention wraps, my lip quivers up like i'm trying to do an elvis impersonation and I haven't a clue what to say!

This is awesome! LOL

I just went on a cruise late june, and I found the dining room food really good but they serve smaller european portions so unless you drink your calories you will be ok. The buffett really wasn't that great. They also had a huge salad bar.

Oh yes, Lemon Water!!! It cures EVERYTHING! But I guess if it gets you to drink your daily, more power to the lemon lol

Completely Understand, and is she naturally skinny? My mom was and would remind me of how little she was at my age when she was 4 inches taller than me and my chest exceeded hers greatly. OBVIOUSLY we weren't the same build. Oh well gotta love em.

IT Works(wraps), HAHAHA not if you are 150 lbs overweight.... someone I know really does this.

You can start your own post with this, Just go to the discussion page and hit create! and I think MFP will help you be sure you get ENOUGH calories since you are coming in from the other direction. Good Luck and great start!

Yes this!!!! When you finally get "it" and they don't they still look for the MAGICAL fix.

Exactly!! lol

That's freaking AWESOME!!

Yes TOTALLY agree! LOL

I use to eat absolute crap, and plenty off it! I can't "spend" my calories on that junk because then I would still be hungry! I eat higher fiber and way higher protein, I don't track fat, carbs etc but just making better food choices makes that lower naturally. I'm not about to spend half my calories on a giant cupcake. I…

Is it possible your body is trying to tell you this is were it feels like it should be? have you developed so much muscle from the exercise that you probably won't be the 112 you want? and what gave you the 112? is it that bmi scale? talk to an actual doctor/nutritionist to find out what your goal REALLY should be. I have…

Exactly this!! and once you see what you used to eat... OMG. Also that old eat before you go so your no so hungry, HA i'll eat it anyway, hungry so very rarely has anything to do with me being overweight.

Do not eat all your exercise calories, stay in a deficit. Also do NOT look at scale daily, measure your inches around stomach, arms, chest etc. you will see changes there. And I started at 270 so I understand your frustration but please hang in there, get a different exercise besides just the walking, yoga ball, weights,…

I totally get it. I am a "finish the whole thing I logged it" type. I haven't gotten to the point where I can listen to my belly if it's full. I hope to someday be able to listen to my body, but for now it's all about the calories because I wouldn't be overweight if I could listen to my body.

So many Ideas here!! I never thought of the over the calf boots because they never fit so I gave up on those years ago, oh that would be amazing!!!! I like the idea of never be worried about the weight requirement on anything, a chair, a amusement ride, etc. I would love to NEVER shop in a plus size store again!

I'm down 60 and been at it since jan 3. Tracking tracking tracking. I cannot be trusted to guess. Use a scale, use measuring tools and chose the weight loss plan you want. I choose 2 a week and walk mostly with a bit of yoga ball and hand weights. and I do calories, I don't look at anything else. usually if the fat is high…

I've been at this since Jan 3rd and down 60! and motivation totally comes and goes. Sometimes I feel like "the old me" all bloated up and just fat, then someone I haven't seen is like OMG you look so good and it just boosts you to keep on going! Sometimes it's my family or trying something on I haven't worn in forever and…

I completely understand, hopefully someday it will be something you can have some and have a take it or leave it attitude. I'll buy ice cream and think I can really stick to the 1/2 cup serving HAHA no, i'll have 2 or 3 servings and use way more of my day on that ice cream then anything healthy.

I don't do cheat meals, I log every single bite. Sometimes those bites are more that my daily allotment but I have it set at lose 2 lbs per week. Find your BMR! I try to never go over that with exercise included. That's the amount of calories you can have and not gain. Also I understand foods that we have to cut out so we…

BMR shows the calories you can have with no gain. bmrcalculator.org This one shows your calorie usage in basically a coma, then barely any activity up to all out exercise all day every day LOL

I wondered if I could log ahead just to keep my days, there are computers aboard I just didn't know how busy they would be or if I would have the time, so I thought of just doing my regular breakfast etc, because I don't plan on doing anything drastic on the eating, it's all about the scenery and adventure.

I'm in the same boat, and by boat I mean I will actually be one with no wifi for the phone to track with app, and seriously writing it down may not be option. I only hate that i will loose my days in a row status

I did try it without logging and gained all that and more back! soooo I realize i will ALWAYS have to log and yes it can be a bit aggravating BUT the app is way more easy than the olden days when we looked it up in a book and wrote it in a journal. Yeah, now that sucked. Maybe plan ahead and log things you already know you…

That's flipping AWESOME!!!
