Thank you for the wonderful and encouraging tough love. I lost 23 pounds in two 1/2 months and got stuck as of two months ago. I was thinking last night "OK I lost the weight that I needed to get the weight loss surgery .I'm calling my Doctor tomorrow because something is wrong. My body just can't do it by it self" This…

This is great , I plan to re read it over and over , it is very informative. I hope everyone takes the time to read it.Thank you :) :)

TIPS I FOUND ON LINE THAT ARE WORKING FOR ME :) I read this every morning Tips for Controlling Your AppetiteBy Jillian Michaels 1.Don't Skip Meals You should be eating three square meals a day, plus one snack. You should also be making sure to space your meals throughout the day so that you don't go longer than four hours…

@bwogilvie I don't Use my food scale, but I will start For breakfast I would love a slice of buttered whole-grain toast, at 150 calories I guess I was trying to cut out carbs the most I could except fruits I don't Eat slow at meals, thanks for the reminder .I do need to slow down and actually enjoy my food because I feel…

@whmscll we haven't gone out of town recently since I started my journey to a healthier lifestyle. Thanks for posting how you overcame your challenge.I'll be faced with the same challenge and I'll remember to prepare in advance. Not only for me but for my family, kiddos usually see rode trips as an opportunity to indulge…

My challenge yesterday: my husband and children brought Pizza home like they usually do on Friday evenings. The way I was able to overcome the extreme desire to eat the whole pizza(lol) was to eat half of a slice. And took off to the gym quickly like I do every evening. If you had success with your weight loss,please share…

I guarantee you that members that are starting out are probably facing the same challenges or will .....your experience and how you were able to still be successful and turn it around will be comforting and very…

That's Awesome!it sounds like you have found what Works for you. I started my weight loss journey a little bit over 2 months.I'm still seeing what works for me. Having to lose 80 pounds requires me to be very careful what choices I make. To be at the weight I'm suppose to be I need to lose 76 pounds more pounds. I'm going…

I don't weigh all my food but I have a scale. now that I m further along than I was before I think it's time for me to start to get more accurate calorie count and I haven't really had a chance to see if by increasing some of my calorie intake (of course staying within my goal food) if that actually helps .I could have…

This sounds yummy, thanks for sending this today. I am planning to go to the grocery store later today I will pick up these ingredients thank you :)

Suggestion: it's not time for lunch and I was feeling hungry so I had a snack .I blended a cup of unsweetened almond milk that's 40 calories, a few bluberriesand a bit of plain yogurt and it helped sooth my stomach.today I am logging everything I eat to keep track of my calories.This way I'm not worried , and I won't be…

I'm getting tired of my plane salads.I would love to hear some suggestions and tips .what do you put on your salad ?what kind of salad dressing do you use to maintain weight loss? for protein I like to add chicken breast to my salad but that I'm even getting tired of the same flavoring. How do you season your chicken?

Breakfast suggestion: @buffalobill41 washing my teeth earlier than later is a great tip. I'll try that tonight.willpower definitely is the key. Thank you

I was trying to stay within 1200 calories intake but I have been feeling the hungry ,empty feeling. this is a life changing lifestyle that I'm planning to do for a very very long time, so after much advice from other community members I am going to increase my calorie intake to 1300 and I will not be stressing about…

@bbontheb Do you put any sweetner in your tea? I've heard green tea is good for weight loss, have you tried it?

Congratulations on your weight loss!!!!☺

@HollandOats These are such helpful tips that a lot of us can benefit from. How can I find out what is the amount of protein I should be eating?

Great suggestion,specially now that I will be planning out my meals and using this app to make sure I keep up with my calories .

I'm going to plan meals today and look up new recipes. I'm planning to increase my calorie intake. I think part of the problem is I keep eating the same meals for the past 2 months.Please share some of your recipes.:)

@jessica22222 you are so right, the other day I found myself trying really hard from eating sweets and I just put some shoes on and took my daughter to the park and all those Cravings went out the window. Thank you for the reminder I will start doing that moCravings☺

Hote="greengiwitook32507628"]Agree with Asher_Ethan on the water. So important to drink lots of water. I also have tea with milk and sweetener when I'm feeling like I need something to fill me up. It tends to do the trick. I'm drinking one right now actually, in the past I would have been snacking on cookies while making…

arequote="evolutionaerie;32508481"]Making sure your water intake is adequate is key - for me, like another poster said, a lot of the times that I think I feel hungry, I'm often just thirsty. Sometimes I'll have a cup of tea, and decide after it if I really want to eat something. To be honest though, I do think that 1200…

@nopotofgold is there a protein shake you recommend that support weight loss?

I'm definitely going to the snapshot your advice sounds like something that I can work with. this is what I need to continue my journey with you so much:)

Great questions? 1200cal and I'm trying shed off 60 pounds. one of the reasons why I posted on here is because I'm getting to the point where I'm getting paranoid when I eat because I'm scared to gain some of the weight I've lost.

Great tip! I am scared to drink Any milk because of the calories so I've been drinking almond milk. I've also been blending plain yogurt with berries and may I add a little bit of almond milk And little piece of banana it help me with my hunger.

I wasn't eating red meat but I was eating chicken, fish .i know it's weird to have hunger pain if I'm eating what I should. I'm already getting great advice, and reassurance that I'm on track.I'm the hungriest after the gym at night.

I have 60 pounds more to go. I'm enjoying All the hard work. It's crazy but I'm finally mentally there.....everyday I'm motivated. The 20 pounds I lost allows me to wake up everyday happier, I'm not coming home and feeling depressed. I was able to run after my 2 year old without feeling out of breath.

@chelsmaee7 :)

@Annr are you just trying to maintain your weight or are you having success loosing weight with what you're doing?
