What is going to work for me today is to attend my appointment with my nutritionist. I will also drink at least 8 cups of water today. This is my goal, I will update tomorrow with how today went!

Some easy breakfast ideas that I have come up with myself that I made in advance are breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. I make them in one batch and I either put it in the refrigerator and, or freezer. In the morning, I just take one out and put it in the microwave or in my toaster oven and I got myself a…

Nice! Congratulations on making this huge step in your life! :) If you need any encouragement at all, im your gal! I am on like phase 4 to phase 5 of the program which is in the middle of between soft foods and transitioning to solid foods. Before surgery, I had to lose 70lbs so I lost 70lbs in 4 months to get VSG! I was…

Since December 1st of last year, I have lost 44lbs. A couple of weeks though I didnt lose anything and this week I struggle with losing weight, but im wondering if maybe im taking in too much sodium? I do use seasoning a lot and I bought dill pickles recently which pickles is a lot of sodium. I have been taking in less…

Mini goal that is motivating me right now is to be able to fit my engagement ring on my finger! I am almost there, I know I can do it :)

Hello! yes I need some accountability buddies too! :)

Hi there! I am planning on getting surgery, hopefully this September. I still have to lose about 60-70lbs before I do. Please add me! :)
-
I am so sick of multiple people here judging for someone, or stopping someone from getting Weight Loss Surgery. Believe me, its not the easy way out! and some people cant just lose it the old fashion way. I am 460lbs and I am 29 years old. For anyone that is interested in WLS, I support you completely! it's your body and…

I have a lot of goals right now that is motivating me right now but the number two are: 1) I've lost 52lbs so far since November and some of my back pain went away, so this is motivating me to lose more, so hopefully I can even release more pain from my back. 2) I'm going to be doing my first 5K in September with a few of…

Hey everyone! Thank you for all of your support. Sorry, I didn't mean my message to sound like I'm arguing about food addiction. I do agree that this post should be about how to deal with feelings of being out of control around food, because that's what I'm kind of dealing with right now as I'm sure we all are. I just…
-
Thank you for commenting but please don't tell me that I'm not addicted. Fast food can be addictive. I did research on it, and a lot of research says it is. Some people can go and get fast food, and be fine like my boyfriend can. But other people, like me for instance, thinks about it constantly. Even the next day, I just…

QOTW Response: Well I have a lot of goals that I want to achieve this week and for the entire year. I list a few of my goals in my last post. I've noticed that when I set big goals for myself, it helps me feel motivated and encourage to lose the weight in that amount of time. My big goals that I have already listed is to…

Hi everyone! This thread really caught my attention because it's nice to be able to interact with others that also have a lot of weight to lose, such as, myself and its also motivating to hear other people weight loss journeys that have a long way to go as well. Anyways, my name is Katherine but Katie for short. I am 26…

My Weight Loss Goals for 2018 is to lose more than 100lbs. I have loss thirty five pounds in a total of nine weeks, so I am sure I can lose a lot more by next December :) I am 365lbs right now. I would like to get to 250lbs by December. It seems kind of crazy to lose that much in a year, but I feel like I may be able to do…

I just saw this challenge right now haha I haven't been in this group in a while but I think completing challenges week by week sounds like a great idea. I have actually been tracking my food intake now for like 60 days, and I have logged in my food every single day this week so far :) it has become a regular habit for me…
-
I am in! I been tracking now for like 45 days straight haha which is a lot for me, especially during this challenging season. I have lost like 30 pounds in six, or seven weeks haha not bad, huh? My goal for the week of Christmas starting tomorrow till next Thursday is to stay within my program, completely, track…
-
I think 100lbs in a year is very doable. But then again, just remember to take it one day and one step at a time. When I started my weight loss journey, the first step I asked myself was "am I ready to start this journey?" I started about a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. I decided not to wait for the holidays to be…

Well, I want to lose weight because I want my clothes to fit better, and I want to feel beautiful again. I also want to get healthier and in shape because of the pain in my lower back. I didn't started feeling this type of pain until I weighed about 340 or 350lbs, and its unacceptable. Its difficult for me to just walk for…
-
Well I am actually on this weight loss program right now and shakes are a big part of the program. I decided to experiment with my shakes and so far, I really love mixing in my vanilla shake with nothing but water, ice and PB2 (Peanut Butter Powder). It kind of taste like a Butterfinger. Pretty amazing, you should really…

Don't listen to anyone that tells you to not go to the clinic's! From someone that is doing HMR, it's a great program and even after you lose the weight, they move you into a phrase that helps you keep the weight off. They teach you portion control, etc. For someone that was out of control, I needed this for my life. This…

Hi! I can relate in a way. I am 400lbs and it's difficult for me to walk for more than 15 minutes without my back hurting, or even just standing on my feet. Therefore, I decided to start a weight loss program through HMR (maybe you should think about looking it up). I started on Thursday and its difficult but it has really…

Hi, Thankyou so much guys! I really appreciate all of your amazing replies. It gaves me hope! When you guys say calorie deficit, I feel like a 2200 calorie diet is enough of a deficit for my weight and height because in order to maintain my weight, it would be a little more than 3,000. Is that what a deficit means,…

I think its different for every person. For me personally, I'm beginning to log in my water on MFP every single day because it helps me keep track of my water intake and I try to get as much clear water as I can to help me live a healthy lifestyle. Water can also be an aid for weight loss, in a way because it does suppress…
-
you don't have to be rude! Okay I thought this website is to encourage others, not to bring them down when I don't think intermittent fasting right now is the right solution for me. We are suppose to support each other, I do want to change! but not that way, not now. I wanted motivation and guidance, to maybe help me come…
-
Thanks! I don't know if I want to just eat one meal a day though. I eventually want to try intermittent fasting but first, I am trying to work out some other things. If I do that right away, I feel like I would be setting myself up for failure. So thanks, just not for me right now.
-
A gallon of water a day seems pretty excessive to me, unless of course you work out a lot and then it might be completely necessary in your case. But I have always heard that just drinking 8 glasses of water a day should be enough. Although, I really have to get used to just drinking even two cups of water a day...I am…

ooooo hummus and vegetables are a great snack! I didn't get that this time but hummus is so good and it's very filling
-
I like lots of different snacks. I tend to mix it up. I actually just went to the grocery story and bought some 80 calories vanilla greek yogurt, little snack bags that come with bake chips, pretzels and popcorn and its usually 140 calories and less for each bag, 100 calorie popcorn bags....I try to get snacks that are…

What am I doing right now? Well typing this obviously haha but also right now I'm reading other people's post and stories on MFP as well as watching Teen Wolf on Amazon Prime :)
