Do you have a food scale? I use the recipe function to make the meal, weigh all my pots before cooking, weigh all ingredients, weigh the whole dish with food to determine portions when done and then subtract the weight of the pot. You can play around with the numbers to get the amount of calories you want per portion. You…

So glad to see this!!! I have the same problem (few to no periods) and I'm hoping losing weight will help me. I've only lost 15 lbs, after starting at 223, and already I'm pmsing like crazy. Your post gives me so much hope! Thank you! Also, I read somewhere that fat cells store androgen hormones, so if you already have a…

Oh lawdy! I just looked at my back and its starting to look like a pug. Guess I should start exercising or something...

I've lost fifteen. I have only really noticed a change in my face and shoulders so far. But I am getting squishier.

You can do it! Tracking everything really helped my relationship with food. I bought a $12 food scale off amazon and I love it. I started just under 9 weeks ago at a little more weight than you are now and I am already at a weight I haven't seen in over 6 years. It feels good and I have more energy and that's what keeps me…

I'm planning on reaching my goal by the time I visit home for my brother's wedding next July. My family will be shocked, and I will drink up allll the compliments. I can't wait. :#

I always wanted the easy way too. You have to accept that it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I would suggest getting a food scale and weighing everything that you eat. All of it. It was a real eye opener to me what the foods I was eating really contained. I didn't cut anything out, I still eat 'junk', just less, and…

Change has always been really hard for me...but in June I had to move 2800 miles from home (my husband is an officer in the Navy),clear across the country from everything and everyone I have known my whole life. I was angry about it, and absolutely terrified...but really, it's not as bad as I thought. I mean it sucks and I…

My main goal is this too. I have baby fever, lol! Unfortunately my body thinks otherwise, so I'm giving weight loss a shot. Feel free to add me!

I always hated the Wii fit game saying "that's obese" in that squeaky voice when it shows your weight. I feel the offended and motivated vibe, lol.

You're probably right. I quibbled over which to pick because of the descriptions under each one. I really am pretty lazy overall, I can sit for hours at a time when working on projects. Definitely won't change it, though, I'm pleased with my progress :)

Thanks for the link! I didn't consciously lower my carb intake, but I am eating less of them just as a side benefit of accounting for and treasuring every calorie I eat. Good bread is how I treat myself these days.

OK. I was just wondering...I mean I know that because I'm heavier I burn more doing anything than I would if I were lighter. I just wasn't expecting it because mfp calculates your calorie count by your weight. And yes, I weigh absolutely everything! I've been known to smack my husband's hand for trying to snitch off my…
