There is a food scale that I bought at the Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It has a little book of codes and you can enter the code into the food scale, and it'll give you all of the nutritional info of that fruit/vegetable. I've had mine for over 3 years and I love it! What I did was I wrote down the fruits/veggies that I usually…

ohh way too many things left unsaid to several people.

Me too!

My older brother told me that he could tell that I have lost inches. That's a lot coming from someone like him since he teases me all of the time lol

Good job!! Keep it up!!

Girl we are on the same boat!!! I'm at a 1500 calorie goal as well. trying to get to 170 from 206. Used to be at 287.

Still need more but getting there![img][/img]

Thank you ladies so much for your responses

That is such a rude thing to even suggest!! If in doubt, she shouldn't have brought it up at all. When I was bigger, nobody could really tell I was pregnant because my belly was already big. It wasn't obvious until my 3rd trimester.

good ending?

I hope I can squeeze it in this weekend!

I've been wanting to see "Get Out". It's not at the movies anymore but I hear it's good.

Same here! I was truly oblivious and ignorant as to what I was eating and how many calories I was consuming.

A half-chicken plate from Stripes. I used to eat that plate (which comes with a half-chicken, rice, beans, and 1 tortilla) at least 3 times a week because that was one of the only meals that could fill me up. 1600 CALORIES without the tortilla.

Cute glasses!

Biscuits. Chicken or ground beef?

I love how you're wearing the same clothes and you can see how it's falling off of you... great job!

Amazing progress... I love your hair!

Wow great progress!!! :)

Feel free to add me if you are actually active on MFP :) I am a mother of 3 and have currently lost 76 lbs. I still have approximately 50 lbs. to go!

I figure saying "you got this" is a form of telling someone that they can do it and being supportive... what is wrong with that?

I'll look into that, thank you. Just started going to the gym with my mom and sister so that should get the ball rolling.

Thank you everyone for your insight. I will definitely increase my strength training from now on.

Thanks everyone for the response. I will continue weighing things raw and using that info. @Gaucho Mark I try not to use oil when cooking to avoid the extra calories. My food comes out a little more burned looking lol but it's no big deal :P

Wow that is awesome... amazing difference.. great job!! :)

I just sent you a friend request :) Looking for support! I had lost 75 lbs. and then I got pregnant and gained some of that back.. I just gave birth in November and I'm working to lose what I gained and then some more.

What was your calorie intake during this time?

Thanks ladies!! This is definitely gonna be a huge change for me... Switched to maintenance level already :)
