Then there's things like this, thank goodness it's too expensive cause i'm pretty sure I could finish it in one sitting.

I stopped worrying about when and how close. (who invented breakfast anyway?) I might have a bar and coffee and call it breakfast but i eat a good sized lunch anywhere from 10 am to 2 and then dinner at 6ish to later and it's usually my main meal. I try not to throw in to many snacks and focus on larger meals.

OH MAH GAWD THANK YOU!!! I feel so stupid, i've been weighing out the creamer, I NEVER thought to put the cup on the scale LMAO!
-
Scale, definitely the scale. I don't care what the proportion looks like as long as it fits my calories and in my belly:)

Instead of thinking you need to be all "gung ho" and feeling like you failed when you don't get all that exercise in, try doing it ONE DAY AT A TIME. Do what you can, when you can and don't beat yourself up for it. Log your food and worry about staying within calories, not whether or not you were able to eat clean. It's…

Day after day i just keep plugging along, logging my food. I have "tried" to lose weight so many times i've lost count. This time, it's not finding me. I know that this time is different, this time there is no going back, this time will be the last time. I'm not on a diet, but i know I will always have to count calories. I…

I know this isn't what you are asking but i'd like to give you a "tip" whatever you do eat, be prepared to not be able to finish it! I also rarely eat out and when I did on vacation I was ready to gorge and I COULDN'T!!! My belly simply could not eat like I had before losing weight and it physically hurt. So get something…

same thing with peanut butter, a table spoon full and level is closer to the grams of 2 tablespoons!

I had/have this, do everything above. after losing several pounds, even with a great deal of walking, I do not have symptoms anymore. I continue to do the stretches, (I lay face down on the bed and put my toes like i'm trying to climb and push while pulling heel up toward my head). and my podiatrist recommended New Balance…

I think the most important thing you said was TODAY, i also try not to think of a slip up i had yesterday or what I need to do tomorrow. One day at a time. You are doing so awesome btw! Keep on keeping on! LOL that sounds cheesy but it's true!
-
I keep mine open to public. I think it's because when I comment on other people's threads I want them to know i'm honest and trying to be open to them. I don't want them to look at my profile and think they shouldn't at least consider my advice because i'm not even who I say I am. (I see some profiles and i wonder if…

Ahhhh the voice, the one that calls you to eat ice cream or other goodies. Sometimes I give in, other times I manage to put it off and it simply goes away. Getting busy and finding an activity to do that can keep you occupied long enough to "forget" the voice. I find that just doing household chores, looking for a book to…
-
Wow that sounds scary!!! Glad you are on the right path! You look so different already, keep up the amazing work!
-
if that is a picture of you, then you seem to be below maintenance and I concur on losing the diet pills
-
Oh man, i've started down the rabbit hole too! LOL some things I just try not to think about, i buy from local farmers markets but hey, who knows what they did to my tomatoes!!! And I agree, cancer just roll the dice....

If you get one let us know, i'd like to go back to freshman year of highschool when I "thought" i WAS fat LOL

When you first start logging and see the amount of calories things contain, it might seem like you aren't going to be able to actually eat "all that" but I think this is just "beginners phenomenon", otherwise no one would ever be overweight, you had to be eating more than that before or you wouldn't have any to lose. Your…
-
it depends on age and how long you were overweight and most definitely genetics. I see all different results, sometimes it takes awhile for some of it to catch up. Certain spots on the body are also saggier or prone to have loose skin. There is no hard and fast rule to prevent it or fix it less than surgery.

@kommodervaran AND THE MILK INDUSTRY!!! Conspiracy's everywhere!
-
I just went through this thought process myself. Who made the gotta have breakfast rule? some days i'm not hungry until lunch so i might have a bar with my coffee or eat it a bit later then i have a decent lunch 4-500 calories, when i get home i have a cup of coffee and make dinner and i'll eat 500-600 calories and still…

When I downloaded it, I was amazed at things I had been eating and the calories, it was a real wake up call. I've been logging my food for over 500 days and am down just over 80. This has been a wonderful way to keep up with my calories without it being hard or tough to figure out. Best invention since sliced…

after losing 50+ i was getting compliments all the time and even though i logged, i was going over my calories, and I even started to gain, and still if i get alot of attention it's like I freak and wanna eat. Soooo I know I never want to go back to MORBIDLY OBESE, i'm down 81 and I just keep plugging along. I still have…

You are doing amazing! Congrats on your journey and progress!!

I only log it on MFP saturday for my weigh in, but i'm ridiculous when it comes to weighing several times a day. it's like a bad habit but I don't really think about it affecting my progress.
-
I highly recommend you try myfitnesspal to it's fullest potential. Finish your profile, log your food and work it. It works without all that sideshow craziness.

Having a "natural " birth of a child that is 10 lbs 12 oz and his head was 15 1/2 inches, ripped from you with forceps.....That was nearly 17 years ago, I think having an arm ripped off in a freak accident would hurt less.
-
I think it's hilarious that the friends turned it into an eating contest. I have wanted to pack a scale with me, I almost bought a purse sized one on amazon. BUT i figured i'd get questioned by a cop at some point thinking it was a drug related scale, cause that would be my luck....

Look at your life as a whole right now, are you going to be able to sustain this lifestyle for the next 10 years? Not just trying to lose weight but your job, the drive, the stress? You need to prioritize YOU, your health, your lifestyle. Take it one step at a time, you can pack a lunch just as much as you can go through a…
