Yes. If I didn't log my food I could easily eat over everyday and never lose weight. It is the only way to actually know how much I'm eating and make sure I eat under calories. Also, I log all my food for the day every morning. That way I know okay well I have no calories left so all I can eat is what I put and it helps me…

I think it is important to find a meal plan that works for you. Not everyone works well with giving up certain things completely. So find something that is in between that makes you happy and you can sustain. If you don't like what your meal plan is, chances are you won't stick with it. When losing weight you won't eat…

I weigh everyday. It helps me to know how much weight fluctuates. Also, if you wait a month and see no change, then make adjustments and wait another month and see that wasn't enough, that is two months wasted. If you weigh at least every week and aren't seeing a change you know something isn't right, like maybe your over…

We use to live in a small rural town and our water was 70 or more. It sucked since my husband and I barely even used any water. We moved and now it is 14 dollars a month.

Around $200 a month so far but haven't gotten to the 100 plus weather yet, so hopefully it isn't too crazy high this summer.

Nice. My brother lets me play his games off his Origin account but he won't let me on his Steam account. So I play SIMs and now Dragon Age:Inquisition on the computer. But I'm not going to really buy many games for myself. Usually I just play whatever the husband gets. It would really suck if we ever got divorced though…

Well most my fat is around my abdomen. So much so everyone just thought I was pregnant...

I think you will find great success with the calorie counting! It also teaches you portion control and eating habits that you can use beyond your weight loss.

Groot isn't scary!!!!!!!! Groot is the bestest and most awesomest ever!

Congrats. I was 180lbs when my husband purposed last year and made it down to like 167 before the wedding. But then life happened and I gained it all back and then some. So trying really hard to lose it again.

I am 5'7 and have been 100lbs all the way to 188lbs. I like neither end of the spectrum but feel comfortable, right about the middle so that is what I'm going for. Below that I feel too thin, right around 135-145 is where I feel healthy and I feel like I look healthy too. It is the last weight I remember having lots of…

*raises hand* Ooo ooo pick me!! I would say I am on my 3rd or 4th try but I ain't trying this time I'm doing. I learned a lot from my last few attempts. It is important to find ways to make subtle changes to your diet and lifestyle that don't seem like you are changing anything. Like still have dessert if you want it just…

I have had the same problems, been restrictive, lost weight and then gained it all back. I have found instead of taking foods away it is better to find a lower calorie alternative. So instead of taking snack bars away, I still eat that every morning, a nature valley protein bar along with a cheese stick and a banana creme…

As mentioned before, don't cut it out just eat less. I always look for things that no added sugar. I don't drink sugary drinks. I like to have sugar free popsicles, 30 calories. I also like to have greek yogurt with yummy flavors which are a nice treat but my less sugar. You could also try sugar free pudding or jello. I…

I have been getting 10k steps every day where I use to get less than 5k a day before. I also haven't had any caffeine in a couple months which is huge for me. I use to be super addicted. Even when I stopped drinking soda, I still had tea a few times a week and if we went out to dinner. I never have completely stopped it…

I'm not embarrassed but I don't really tell anyone I'm trying to lose weight. I tell them I'm trying to be more healthy. Which is the truth. I'm not in this just to lose weight. I'm in this to make a change to my life that is permanent to be a fit and healthy person. To be active, to give my body the proper fuel it needs.…

Mine is my health. Whenever I start feeling bad and need to rest and can't really exercise and struggle to have the energy to want to cook or clean after work it is really hard to get back into it, even after I start feeling better.
-
I got it on xbone. But I haven't played in a while. No one is ever on around the same time. And I just haven't had much time to game either. Been working out too much.
-
I am going to talk my husband into getting Dance Dance Revolution 2 for the Wii now. Hehe Maybe. He will probably be like, "Umm I just bought you this exercise bike, you got a work out video this week, we got more weights, you got shorts! WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED WOMAN!"
-
I use to love it back a long time ago but I sucked so bad. I love Just Dance though. It is a lot easier for me to follow. Haha. Just wish it had better songs.

That is great! I recently got a fitbit. Before it I did maybe 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day except on weekends where it might be a bit higher. When I first got it I kept to about 7k - 8k and over 10k on weekends. But now I'm finally doing 10k and more every day and it feels amazing! It is weird to be so proud considering I…

It is all about burning more calories than you eat. So you don't have to give up carbs and you don't have to give up sweets, just eat them in moderation and get a good exercise routine going. Find ways to incorporate things you love but with less calories. If I have at least one yummy snack a day, it really helps me avoid…
-
I like to have the best of both worlds. Try to be healthy most of the time but gotta have some fun or what is the point, just in moderation you know. I don't eat clean for sure though. I don't have time and my husband eats enough for 4 or 5 people. So I need things I can buy in bulk cheaply and fresh, organic foods ain't…

I understand the frustration. I have been working hard and my watching my husband eat fast food and milkshakes. I took all snacks out of the house but he would just go get fast food. It is hard. But he stepped on the scale for the first time in a while and saw he is already 30lbs heavier than when we got married back in…

Exercise and removing things that cause stress. Also, find a low calorie snack you love, that way if you eat, you eat that. The peanut butter delight dannon light and fit greek yogurt is mine. So much better than the candy and sweet tea I use to eat when I was stressed out or upset. Building a routine to eating, helps me…

I know how that goes. I was down 16 lbs last year and kept getting sick and gained it all back. And actually my health is motivating me this time. My blood pressure is high and I was feeling like I had no energy ever. It was so hard to get myself out of bed. I still don't feel 100% and am still working with the doctor to…
-
Same here too! Most of my weight is in my tummy and the rest of me didn't get that much bigger. My arms finally started to gain some weight but my wrists still look like little kid wrists. So I was asked like 100 times if I was pregnant. I also bloat easily because of my stomach issues, so that didn't help. But now that…
-
Ditto. I left, gained all the weight back and then some and now have high blood pressure! :( So I'm working on losing weight and getting off blood pressure meds. Add me!

My husband doesn't use it to work out. He uses it to work. He work's at the Wal-Mart DC, has trouble sleeping, gets up at 2:30 am to drive an hour there, work 10 hours, drive an hour home. I know it is tiring but I keep begging him to stop and find healthier ways to get more sleep and fuel his body. I just worry about him.…

Getting tired of my cooking which I hate. Hearing my husband complain he is tired of chicken. Watching my husband get fast food because he is tired of my cooking. Having my husband always shove his sugary drinks in my face and tell me I have to try it. Exercising within the limits of my health issues without feeling like a…
