if everytime you feel like having junk food you instead eat a piece of fruit you will train your brain to crave fruit instead of junk food. I was sceptical when I read it, but a month later it's working.

My best advise for you is to relax and enjoy the weekend. practice portion control and if you go over you just have to dig in hard next week. Your doing amazing and will continue to do amazing, but sometimes its important to just have fun also. Have an awesome weekend and be safe

there are some great apps (pushups, situps, squats) that will start you at your level and than help you progress. they don't require a gym or any investment in equipment. they will help you set the habit of working out and than you can decide if you want to proceed with it further. your doing amazing keep it up.

exercise doesn't require running, you can do all sorts of exercises and just go for long walks. you can do it I know you can.

MFP told me and I figure they probably got it figured out. I'm having great results and feeling better by the day.

I sounds to me like your on the right track. I don't eat all organic and I haven't quit eating foods I like and yes I still have a drink here and there, but in the end I try to watch my calories and exercise as much as possible. I'm finding that I'm eating healthier just due to watching my calories. oh and I drink a ton of…

I don't have any anwsers on it, except that whoever is measuring you might not have done it the sameway as the first time. my question for you is how do you feel. if your feeling good thats what's important the rest will take care of its self if you stay on track. Your can do it I believe in you don't give up!!!!

Your an inspiration to us all!!! log all of your exercise as it's all important. Congrats on getting in shape and making it part of your life style.

My incredibly beautiful wife, 2 great kids and future grandkids. but in the end you need to want it for you. that and I know I'll be able to serve my Lord and other better if I'm no longer a 270 lb couch potatoe. all of that being said I've never been as inspired as I am now that I've made some great friends on MFP. You…

are you kidding me you're doing great. remember the weak don't want you to loose weight and feel great. Otherwise they might have to do what your doing just to keep up with you. make lots of friends on MFP and get positive feed back and in a while you'll be laughing at the negative people that want to drag you down. listen…

thats awesome. PS what does NSV stand for?

its all about portion control and getting in some exercise when possible. Have a great time and enjoy yourself.

based on what I just read, I'm going to start eating a few raisins. thanks for the info and I'd say stick with a good thing especially if you enjoy them.

every bit counts and what you will find is once you get used to exercising you will have more energy for everything else. so from my point of view yes it will help. good luck on your journey and if you'd like feel free to envite me.

don't get worked up. maybe I'm an odd ball but I don't believe in giving up good food, don't get me wrong I have limited my eating of certain foods mainly due to calories, but I still eat the same foods as always for the most part. for me its about portion control with regards to my main meals and limiting my deserts. If…

when someone takes time out to help other. not for personal gain but because the just want to.

ohhh sure I went there and your right I was inspired..............and than my wife laughed at me and said no :( lol

snacks will help lots and lots my snack of choice is bell peppers they taste great and an enire pepper is 26 calories. I find if I eat 1/2 of one and drink water I'm comfortable till the next meal. now having said that I don't have a fast matabolism if mine was any slower I'd probably be dead lol. good luck I know you can…

hey I've been doing that for years, my abs pop right over my belt :o welcome and good luck with it, I know you'll do great.

hey don't give up!!!! I have become super motivated due to this site, if I can help motivate you feel free to invite me.

Hey Brandie as an old guy thats been married for 21 wonderful years I have to tell you, from your mans perspective and everyone elses you will look amazing on your wedding day. But getting is shape will be awesome for yourself and your entire family because you will enspire everyone around you to do the same thing. if I…

sounds like you're doing what you need to do, and I'm also not a fan of giving up what I enjoy just for a diet. although in my case I have had to reduce the amounts. have you tried exercising in a way to isolate the parts you want to tone and really blast them? eg. leg press, leg curls, squats, hip abjuction etc. the other…

Hey Pete I may not eat bisquits but for years I've lived by the idea that if it sat still long enough it must be food and you can eat it.................trust me I did. in just over 1 week I've lost weight and I currently weigh 18.6 stones and if I can do it so can you!! as my good friend Yoda once said there is no try you…

welcome don't think of it as doctor's orders think of it as doctor doing you a favor. this is the first step in a whole new life and it will be great. if your looking for someone to chat at feel free to invite if you'd like.

please feel free to add me. I'm very new (1 week) but this is the best idea I've seen. every journey starts with a single step and I'm very excited to take lots of steps with as many people as possible. we're part of the snowball that will change the way our country's think and act towards getting healthier.

this is awesome, I've heard and yes even said it at times without every thinking about it lol. thank you of giving me a whole new perspective.
