I find it hard to believe there are "too many puppies". That's really an oxymoron of a statement. If you can afford them, can care for them and give them attention...there's never too many puppies!!! And if you can't...go to a shelter and revel in the joy of playing with the puppies who need to be socialized to find new…

Thanks for the input Julie_broadhead! :)

You all look so fantastic! I wish I could "like" comments to let you all know how amazing you look! This is a GREAT THREAD and very inspirational!!! :smile:

I am in exactly the same boat as you. Started around 153 and trying for 130 by the summer/end of summer (former being optimistic/latter being realistic LOL). Friends on here are a GREAT way to make it through!

I drink Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke- rather it's "good for me" or not. I don't want to preach it's good for you- it's not. BUT - it's not something I'm willing to (yet anyways) cut out of my diet. I do drink a lot less than I used to but it's not going to go away. I do find that getting carbonated, flavored water is a good…

Best thing for me as far as accountability this time around has been the constant tracking of everything I eat. I watch my numbers to plan accordingly if I know I'm going out to eat or want to splurge on something. It's all about keeping the number in at/just below what MFP suggests for your daily intake. I never realized…

What she said :)

I'm kind of in the same boat with my teenage son. He wants pizza, hot dogs & hamburgers all the time LOL. I've had my best luck finding recipes that are a compromise on pintrist. Just type in words of foods he likes with the combination of the word healthy (ie. healthy pasta recipes, healthy pizza recipes, healthy dessert…

I second that LOL

I took two years off- lost weight- and found it plus about 5 extra on top of that. I hate seeing the scale over 150 and was shocked not thinking I'd let myself get back to there and saw 153.4. I cried that morning. Then I logged onto this app, started tracking & chatting, and am down to 149.8. I'm hoping to drop at least…

Yes- because the text started off wishing me happy birthday :(

I knew venting on here would be the best for me! Thank you all for the kind words (and the reinforcement that this guy was nothing to get worked up about!!!) - this community is a wonderful place :)

Thank you all- I know it's easy to feel sorry for myself- i just have been doing really well keeping with my goals and was preparing myself for today- just didn't realize I needed to prepare myself for being broken up with ....at like 7:30am. At least he could've texted me happy birthday and if he was still going to be an…

Well I've definitely been the "excuse maker" lol. My problem is... my weight creeps up and before I know it it's there. So when my pants start getting tighter I say ' oh well it's just right now - I've been eating bad but i'll get back to being better"...but I don't. Then I can't wear the pants anymore and have to go buy…

For me- weekends have always been the hardest when I've dieted. Being at work 8 hours a day with little access to food except what I bring with me makes it much easier to follow my plan. Weekends where I'm at home with a teenage son who is ALWAYS eating makes it much harder to stick to my plan. I do find that I try my…

Best response ever :smile: lol

Totally agree with this statement :smile:

Thank you everyone so much for the feedback! I wish there were "like" buttons like on FB for the comments I felt were helpful :smile: I can tell this is a great community to be a part of already!

Thanks ahoy_m8 and _dracarys_ for your input! My problem is that I don't know how I could actually only eat 500 cals a day- even if it's only two days a week. someone on the FB page suggested the WW 0 points soup- but I've tried that before and it's pretty hard for me to choke down for one meal- let alone eating nothing…
