You look fabulous! Since you mentioned wishing you had done this for your wedding, maybe for your next anniversary, you could dig out that wedding dress, have it taken in, and have a photographer take anniversary pictures of your spouse and the "new" you!

Congratulations on the new baby and good luck in your journey

Tomorrow is a new day! You sound a lot like me....once I slip, even just a little (or even if it's not actually a slip but *I* think it is) then in my mind, I justify a binge because I've already ruined EVERYTHING. A very wise woman once explained this simply to me: If you were carrying a carton of eggs and you dropped…

Great job!
-
Wow! I knew this was going to be a great transformation because even in your before photos you were beautiful. Congratulations! You look stunning

Don't really have any tips, so my post is kind of pointless or at the least, not going to be very helpful I guess. Just wanted to add that I too am totally addicted to sugar. Like a few of the other posters, I don't seem to be able to moderate sweets & treats. If I have one of something, I want more. Maybe one day I will…

Wow! You recently lost 90 lbs? That's amazing! I can only imagine what a long, hard journey that was. Your ability is obviously there and sometimes I think that is part of the struggle in finding the gumption & motivation (Can I even do this? How do I do this? Am I going to get to the finish line?) You've already answered…

Great Job! You exercised great restraint and should be proud of your success! Ironically, I have 48 Pecan Pie Cupcakes to make for my husband's colleagues today. They are delicious and normally I would stuff at least 3 of those down without a 2nd thought; today my goal is to eat none and to try not to obsessively worry…

If the people you are surrounded with are the type have previously commented all the time that "You better watch it you are getting heavier and gaining back what you lost" Then perhaps it's not a stretch to consider the possibility that they are the type who are more outspoken when it comes to saying negative things to…

I'd eat it and log it. Congratulations on the new job!

Lesson learned. I should have read ahead to all the responses so that I could have read the additional information/details that were provided and the direction the thread went as a result. I guess I should have first asked, what is the reason you are asking if you can eat Lean Cuisines for lunch everyday? Is it because you…

I didn't want to "resort" to buying frozen meals because I enjoy cooking, but starting a healthier lifestyle, tracking meals, and cutting out soda was a lot of changes for me in just a few days, and I felt too overwhelmed to take the time to try to substitute healthier options for the meals I usually cooked, so I picked up…
-
But....you are concious of/aware of what you consumed, when you went over, and you tracked it. I'm guessing you didnt track previously, so you're still a step ahead on day 1 from where you likely were yesterday. So, not a failure, a step in the right direction. I went over DOUBLE my calories on one of my first days. It was…

This was new information to me. Within what timeframe (approximately) of your meal does one have to consume the water for it to better hydrate. I tend to drink right before + directly after a meal but rarely at the same exact time that I'm eating it. (I like to just focus on and enjoy the meal since my diet has made the…

This portion of your story just hit me like a ton of bricks. Reality bricks. Right square in this mother & wife's heart and head. If, after you clicked the post button you wondered if sharing your story might help someone, I assure you it just did. I was motivated already and had a good first week, but I'm going to push…

Love this part of your post! Welcome to MyFitnessPal and good luck with your weight loss journey and the derby!
-
Some posts (for instance, mine where I reference some things mentioned not by the OP but a former reply) make much less sense now that the very first response to this thread is no longer there....
-
No advice as I'm not a runner, just wanted to say good luck! Anytime I'm driving behind someone who has that 13.1 or 26.2 sticker on the back of their car I think, "wow....that person is awesome!"
-
I'm only on day 9 of cutting down soda and day 4 of absolutely no soda, so without much time or experience under my belt, I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this; (especially since my body is still experiencing caffeine + sugar withdrawal) I drank 8-12 sodas per day (1300-2000 calories) for 20+ years, so I can…
-
Welcome and good luck!

She didn't mention calorie settings/intake, just having stopped eating total crap years ago and watching her macros therefore it wasn't clear if there was a calorie defecit despite the workouts.
-
Welcome back & good luck!

Congrats on the 7lb loss!!! What type of workouts are you doing at your gym? Is it possible you've gained muscle?
-
Food addiction is indeed tricky in comparison to other addictions in that, as you said, a person needs to eat to survive and therefore, eating is legal, acceptable, and encouraged. I'm similar to the poster above in that I do not have an ability (yet at least, maybe never) to moderate my intake of certain things. (Well,…

Excellent job!!!!

I'm in the midst of kicking an 8-12 sodas per day habit myself. This week is my first week (first few days I had one soda a day, today marks day 3 of only water and no soda) I didn't think kicking a 20+ year addiction was going to be a walk in the park, and it most definitely has been very difficult, but I honestly feel…
-
I'm very sorry for your loss. Miscarriages are tough. I commend you for even bringing the subject up since, for some unknown reason it's such a hush-hush topic despite being fairly common. As for advice, I don't really have any. I think you summed up what you would like in terms of achievable goals when you said this: " I…

Wow! What an accomplishment!!

I changed the settings so I think it should be viewable now. In short, it seems I consume way too many carbs and fat and not enough protein. And also never stay under 1200. One day I believe I was more than double over the limit (blushing) and that was without the 1300-2000 calories extra of soda. I'm really struggling to…
