God bless you on your journey! You can do it and you will succeed!

I did good without logging for 6 months, weight started creeping up again while on vacation and I started losing control. I gained 10# back from my lowest weight in 3 months. I started logging again the weekend before last. Happy to say I lost 2.5lbs the first week. If you can do it without logging, good for you, just…

I will be walking away from the pie!

Work on getting your iron levels up. I gained a lot of weight from anemia. I know it is very hard to exercise when you feel tired from low iron. Work on your diet first. Eat iron rich foods and take a good iron supplement with extra vit c. I took Solgar Hemitinic formula. It takes time. When your iron levels get back to…

Good for you!

Try to plan ahead when you go out for meals, look on-line for caloric values. Try cutting back on foods that have no nutritional value like white flour and sugar ( I know you will get the "a calorie is a calorie" vibe from this site, but it does not work for everyone. Some people, like myself, do better with less carbs.…

Thank you!!!

stunning

Logging in was an eye opener for me too! 4# in the first week is a great jump start! You will have good week weigh-ins and what you may consider not so good, but it will all add up! The food diary is great to fall back in for those "I thought I did good, what happened" weeks. Keep going and don't be discouraged!!!! My…

Sounds like something to try and I like the PB2, especially the chocolate!

MFP has been great for me so far! I lost 5# week number one and 3# week number two!!!! I feel so much better and I am really amping up the cardio because I have so much more energy!!!!!!!!!!

I happen to agree with the above quote. You may be like me, I have to get a handle on my carbs to lose weight. It won't hurt to try. I don't deprive myself. I make better food choices when I do include carbs. Also, you will feel much better without a lot of sugary foods and carbs which will in turn give you more energy to…

What is Diet Chef? I actually like the fact I have to measure and look a lot closer at what I am eating. It's amazing how many calories I was consuming and didn't realize! No wonder I gained so much weight over the years. It creeps up on you over time. Good luck to you. Everyone has to find what works best for them, that's…

Thank you! I agree nutrition and exercise are key. Added free weights to my exercise program. I am still trying to figure out how to add support friends.....New to site.

5# lost the first week!!!!!! I can do this!

Good for you!!!!!!! Got started here a week ago and you gave me a boost today!

ROFLMAO

As soon as I figure it out, I am posting my dress as my profile pic so I can see it all the time for motivation.

What's going on in 178 days? My Dday is the end of August, my first child is getting married and I don't want to look like a beached whale wearing a mumu at the wedding. I found the dress I would like to wear and need to lose about 20# to get into it.........I bought it and am bound and determined to wear it!!!

Thanks to all! Doing well so far, I am waiting til Saturday morning to weigh in. I should have done measurements, I will after weigh in and go from there. I love this site and wish I had found it sooner. I am walking approx. 40 min daily and am adding weights in every other day. My encouragement song every morning is "Day…

Turn some headphones on and dance away some low pact aerobics.

I recently started "making better food choices" about a week ago. Don't refer to this as a "diet". That word always triggers thoughts of deprivation. Make sure you are getting enough protein for breakfast...eggs work for me, it will help you feel full longer. Also, make sure you are getting in some good fats. Maybe you…

Why shouldn't we?
