I take a medication that dries my mouth out so I think thats why I drink so much. I was just kidding about the exercise - I really just want to know when my body will adjust.

Good afternoon everyone! I am back on MFP after a hiatus but what's new this time is I am getting sober. I am 7 days sober today and 7 days into my new lifestyle of healthy choices. A little about me. I am 38 years old, no children except a fur baby kitty. I live in Cleveland Ohio. I am a big sports fan, reality TV junkie…

I gained 87 in 1 year. Trying to get it off. Could be worse LOL

I wish I had that job

I have (well I don't make the time) no time in the morning so I eat a quest bar. It's 22 grams of protein, 15 fiber and little to no sugar.

This is the one I am doing that starts today. http://dbet.me/oHcXjF

That's awesome! I am hoping it will do the same for me too!

I feel like every single store (that's not exclusively plus size) carries a 12. The world is now your oyster!

I am with you! My goal over a year ago was to lose 100 lbs for my wedding. I ended GAINING 70. So frustrating. Wedding is over and now I need to get serious.

I bought a new cobalt blue fringe tankini - it's 3 sizes smaller than I wear now. I can't wait until it fits!

I weigh over 300 lbs and I can run for 30 minutes right now - Im just going 3 mph. Even though that is a walking speed, I pick my legs up and move as a runner. I sweat like CRAZY and really feel like I am running. I would just find a speed you are comfortable with.

I feel this way too sometimes and I hate it! Especially when I spend extra time on my hair and makeup and picking out a nice outfit, feeling really good and "thin" because I have lost 11 lbs. Then I see myself and all the good feelings go out the window. I try to push the bad thoughts away but it's really hard sometimes.…

Last night I drank wine, ate a chef salad and 3 pieces of pizza. AFTER dinner.

I think about that when I am jogging on the treadmill, sweat pouring off of me, gasping for breath just to make it 20 minutes - and for what? So I can burn 77 calories and eat an apple? Why not just skip the apple. And then I remember that I want to be more than just a smaller person. I want to be a fit person. I want to…

A lil of both!

I have 150+ to lose. I'm in week 4. It does get hard after a few weeks. Good luck!!

I was thinking the same thing!

I usually put in 100 calories to account for the vegetables - especially if it's a bunch of stuff like peppers, onion, lettuce, tomato, carrots etc. Then Ill roughly estimate the cheese (if I have any) and add for 2 T of dressing. If there is meat I would add that separate too.

Awesome work!!!!

Im wondering if there are that many more calories in half a turkey sandwich as there are in a salad (assume with dressing) I would not have considered what you did as cheating.

Awwwww was def not fishing for compliments with this post, but you all have me feeling fantastic! :smiley:

I have done it. IT will work if you eat the food and only the food : )

Great Advice!

I am hoping one day Ill be so happy to look at the pic! 2 weeks in it's a bit tough LOL

I definitely plan on losing AFTER I buy the dress - wedding is April 2017 so I have a lot more time after I buy the dress. I do plan to buy it in a smaller size (just 1 size as long as I am making progress) and keep losing. But there is just something about that event of trying on dresses with friends and family that makes…

Thank you both for the kind words!

Thank you so much - I knew I needed to hear all of that. I know logically I cannot be fixated on this number. The problem is that I thought I would be able to wait until October to order my dress and I just found out that it's August. So I am just taken aback. I am starting at 330.

Updated my stats to finish month 1 (which was really only 2 weeks for me) - Feeling like I could have done better but looking forward to seeing where I am at next month!!

Start March 21 2016 - 330 Down 2.6 last week for a total of 6.2

I'm in! I added myself to the spreadsheet. I just started 10 days ago but I am counting March as month 1. My goal is actually to lose in 13 months for my wedding - We will see! : ) Good luck to all!
