I don't, but i'd be interested in the responses. Good luck!

Totally off topic here, but I have a friend who had PCOS... and she dropped about 30 lbs and got pregnant on accident! Sooo anything is possible! She was also on the pill. She's on baby number two now. It's amazing what a healthy lifestyle can do. :)

If someone reminds me every day, I am in! LOL

Hey! 26 and need to lose like 35 lbs! (Already lost about 20) I would love to at least check in weekly or during weak moments. The area I need most encouragement is to get my butt moving!!!

Depending on the types of fiber I ingest, it can actually cause constipation with me. If you're consuming a ton of vegetables, maybe make sure they're cooked at least a little easier so the body can digest better? That's what i've learned over time...

Added. :smile: Hoping this will be a great motivator! My SO's birthday is the 8th, and mine is the 26th! I would love to be 20 lbs lighter for that.

I just ate a cupcake and my birthday is in July...

My goal is around 135. My highest was 195 late last year. Currently just under 175. I think the lowest I got in (Jr. High) was 137, so that'll be a crazy accomplishment. No rush.

2 oz planter's mixed nuts... 340 calories! That's the size of a jello shot cup, man!

Hey there! I am 26 and I have been on MFP for a solid 10 days. I am not super active in a physical sense, but I am looking for motivation to get there! I am looking to lose 35 lbs.

I am also pear shaped. I have no boobs... yet they seem to keep shrinking.... I want to get rid of the little shelf above my butt. :cry:

When I ignore my cravings, I try to replace them with healthier versions.. My craving continues to get stronger and I eventually cave in and wind up eating 2x the calories. If it were me, I would eat the cake. Just one small piece... Unless the cake were a pizza. Then I would RUN FAR FAR AWAY, because I would eat the whole…

26 from the southern half of Illinois. Mainly looking for motivation and tips to get moving. I am pretty out of shape, and fatigued all the time. I do want to lose about 35 lbs. I like fishing, playing with my pugs, trying new foods, and going to concerts/festivals. I will be going to a festival in May that will require a…

I deal with the same thing. I am only 26, so none of my co-workers understand why i'm so worried about what I eat. I am working towards my nutrition goals for health-related reasons, but I don't feel the need to explain myself to every person who doesn't understand why I don't load my plate down with pizza and nachos. It…

shoveling snow is a great workout :wink:

That doesn't sound too bad! It's supposed to get up to like 56 here.. I'll take it!

Well, it just so happens Autumn is my second favorite season!

Awesome! We are taking the pugs to the park and going for a walk! We might even fire up the grill and make some chicken breasts and veggies. :smile:

Don't have unhealthy treats accessible! Make yourself do 50 crunches before you're allowed to have a snack! It'll make you think first.

The boobs... :cry: That is the reason I have held off on losing weight! They're going to be alll gone.

My first dance with the calorie counter myself. Def. take some getting used to!

whatever keep you motivated :smile:

Eating smaller amounts of the things I like. Understanding that I CAN'T just eat one slice of pizza. Adding vegetables to all of my meals. Thinking about how my meal will benefit my body. If I want a burger and fries, I lose the bun and get a small fry. Baby steps... but it's working!

I know how it goes. It's really hard to stick to something when you're not seeing drastic results. I have finally realized that even losing a pound every two weeks is better than gaining one or two over the course of the year. So you may not lose 30 lbs in a month or two... Who cares? You'll be feeling better. Plus, a year…

Well, to put it simly, you look less squishy. :wink:

You can make mashed cauliflower taste amazing too!! :smiley:

I purchased a pair of jeans in December and couldn't button them mid-January. baaaad deal.

So sorry for your loss.. I wish that's what I look like at 175! That's right about where i'm at now! Dang girl! Great job.

I have two pugs. The three of us are in serious need of a good workout. I will take them on walks every day, and "hiking" on most weekends. They LOVE it! :)

PUG.
