@badnoodle Your Kroger chicken comment made me chuckle! I know how easy it is to get that nagging pessimistic voice in your head. I'm sorry you haven't seen your measurements go down, but 25 lbs is a huge success so great job! @skyethebard Welcome! I'm new too! My first post was yesterday :) Great job on losing 18 lbs!…

I agree with this. I had emotional issues surrounding weight and weight loss, and the only help that really got me anywhere was seeking a professional counselor to work out the core issues. You have to get at a healthy place emotionally before you can get there physically. I still deal with some issues surrounding weight,…

@GOINSTD12 Thanks so much for the tips on how to reply to people and for the warm welcome! @NewCaddy Nice to meet you, and welcome back! I don't think people will look down on you for having weight loss surgery..Or at least they shouldn't. I was curious though, what is gastric sleeve surgery exactly? I've never heard of…

Hi, everyone. I kind of just stumbled and fell into this discussion. And I thought "I have at least 100 pounds to lose" and "I want to make friends on MFP that can help support me" so I thought maybe I'd join in the conversation. I hope that's okay! My name is Tina. I'm just starting this healthy living journey (I've…

Thanks! I will check it out!

Thanks for the info everyone!

Thank you so much for all your advice everyone! I love how welcoming this community is. I decided I will keep going the way I am. I eat a variety of healthier meals and sprinkle in snacks I love in moderation. I think that's what's best for me, and it's working so far! :)

Hi all. I also have a rather large amount of weight to lose. To get to my goal, I need to lose 129 more pounds. And even then I will be at 200 pounds which still is overweight. I'm 5'11, but I believe that would still be considered overweight. Anyway, I have had body image issues and been overweight from a very young age.…

I'm not entirely sure I know what a "macro" even is at this point! I've been mostly paying attention to staying under the calorie goal and working out a bit every day. I'm just getting started, so paying attention to calories has been a big deal for me. I've lost 5 pounds since I started using this site (a little over a…

Thanks for your input everyone! And I did need to read that bit about paying attention to the other parts food diary. My sugar has gone beyond the goal a couple times as well as my sodium.

If you find out the answer to this, I would also love to know. When I work out it gives me more calories to eat on here, but shouldn't I stick to the main calorie goal instead of eating back what I burnt off? I don't understand. Sorry, I am answering your question with my own!!

Woohoo! Let's do it! :D

Thank you both! I was really worried about that when I saw how over I went. I will definitely be looking into a lower sodium teriyaki sauce, but it's good to know it's not something to be super concerned about doing once in a while

Pasta with alfredo sauce! Cheddar broccoli soup or chicken noodle?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
