My food diary is open, but I don't care if people's diaries are public or private. We are all here for our own personal reasons and I'm a big believer in focussing on what works for you. That being said, I do find it helpful to see other diaries for food/recipe ideas...

Exercising and eating back my calories works for me.... also, maybe think about throwing away the diet bread (which is probably nothing but flour and sugar) and swapping to it for a more substantial multi grain bread (higher cals, but will take longer to digest so you wont feel hungry so quickly) and maybe think about…

I'm almost there (22 lb weight loss target) but would love to find some like minded people here on MFP to help keep me motivated through this stage and beyond :)

Wear whatever makes you feel good - be it confident, beautiful or relaxed. If you're feeling it, you'll be looking it. Unfortunately the same goes for any outfit that makes you feel bad, eg. self concious/daggy/frumpy etc :( Just remember: YOU have to love what your wearing, no matter what.

Thanks :) You're so right - It is completely liberating! I never realised how much mental baggage I was carrying around...

Classic misread moment. I thought the title said "I feel like a bunch of girls". Cue my WTF expression as I tried to visualise 20 girls stuck together like a bunch of grapes, while trying to figure out why you would feel that way... Feel free to add me if the final consensus is to start a collection though :)

I have had 3 wisdom teeth out (2 top, 1 bottom). Usually, extracting the top wisdom teeth doesn't cause anywhere near as many problems as the bottom ones (most of the horror stories you hear are from getting the bottom ones out). Whatever you do, dont start googling 'wisdom tooth extraction'!!! See if your dentist has time…

Have been really looking at labels and have managed to stay under my 1200 calories for ever day (except Thursday, that was a pretty crappy day). Yesterday was my daughters birthday, so I really restricted what I ate during the day…

Completed my Bombshell Betty application, but I think i calculated the average weekly calories incorrectly. I have only been here a week, so I just added up all the exercise I did this week, and I have a funny feeling I was probably supposed to factor in the standard day to day energy required just to keep on living...…

Count me in - Filling in the form now. I've always wanted to be a Bombshell Betty! So excited :D

Hi Everyone! My name is Jenna, and I'm hoping TeamJ is still open to new members - since I've got a J name, I figure this is a good place for me ;). I am a 36 year old from Australia, brand new to the weight loss game, and kind of just winging it so far. I managed to reach my calorie target most days as well as doing some…

Thanks for your response Azdak, Sorry for the confusion - I have not been officially diagnosed with a permanent lung disorder (although every winter I develop bronchitis and need to use a ventolin inhaler.
