I am currently vegetarian, for a little over a year. I started out going full vegan and it was a very difficult change so I eased back to vegetarian and planning to make steps over a longer period to make the full change. You may be better at making big changes than I am, but I would suggest doing small steps of cutting…

Thank you! I've been looking for list of things like this that I actually want to eat! I am vegetarian so I feel like its really easy to get too much carbs on a vegetarian diet unless you really pay attention.

This is one of my big problems too! Like others said, don't let it defeat your mentality. One day won't harm your general goal. Sometimes it's even good for your body to refuel!

I dont have a Fitbit but I'm looking to lose about 50pounds as well and hoping for friends here to keep me motivated. Add me if you'd like :)

I'm right around there with you! Turning 28 later this month, I'm 5'6" and 197 currently and hope to get to 155 some day sooner rather than later! I like to set myself little goals to celebrate along the way. Let's do it together :)

I'm not in your area so I don't have any specific suggestion, but I enjoy hiking as well. Try checking out americanhiking.org and search near you.

You can add me. I'm new to mfp but trying to start my second go at serious weight loss. I've lost all my baby weight from pregnancy and now working on all the extra weight I had already before I got pregnant.

Looks like I found this too late. :( will you keep it going in January and can I get myself on a list to get a reminder if so?

You could also be turning fat into muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat but is smaller. How are your clothes fitting you? You might notice other kinds of changes even if the scale isn't moving. If you have a measuring tape, measure some parts of yourself around and keep track of that too. Sometimes the inches getting…

Well I'm not currently pregnant but I've been there. I thought it helped my mind set because I had to try to eat healthy because everything I ate affected another person. Just keep in your mind that you have to gain weight in order to have a healthy baby and don't let the numbers or size get you down. Do your best to keep…

I'm looking for support friends too, you can add me

How long have you been doing this? Sometimes your body hits a wall and wants to hold on to the calories because it thinks it's losing energy too fast. You may need to take some recovery days where you eat more. I don't mean overeat, just refuel yourself every so often.

Feel free to add me, I'm trying to find motivational friends here too. I just started back up again myself after taking a (way too long) break.
-
I'm almost 28, 5'6" goal weight same. Have about 45 to lose, add me I'm looking for all the support I can get :)
-
You can add me! I need some friends and help too. I'm on day 3 of my "round two" (I lost a bunch before and then took a break and now need to get back into it!)
-
This is really good advice too. If you allow yourself a little indulgence, don't let it derail you. I let myself get derailed and regained some of the weight I lost. Just stay focused and fighting :)
-
I know the struggle but dont give in! I read somewhere that it takes 21 to make a habit and then it's so much easier to keep. Just get over that hump!

I think now is actually the BEST time to start! If you waited until after the holidays you might find yourself indulging more because its like your last hurrah. Then you would be up in weight and have more to lose! Also, New Years resolutions have such a hard fail rate, better to start your best you right away!
