Sundays are my weigh-in days: Starting weight 6/18: 274.2 7/2: 270.2 7/9: 268.6

I'm somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10, and I'm definitely tall, no matter what statistics say.

Thank you everyone!

Congrats to you. I just started on June 18th, and I want to lose 115 pounds. I've lost 4 so far. I'm between 5'9 and 5'10. I want to get down to a size 6.

I want to lose 20 pounds before my birthday on October 2nd. One week in, and I've lose 1.4.

I feel safe to talk about my love for sweet tea in this thread. I fit it into my diet and still lose weight. And with real sugar, because I can't stand sugar substitutes. Also, the first few pages make me want to go to Buffalo Wild Wings (never been before) and get some wings, and definitely a bottle of that Southwestern…

I don't believe in not drinking my calories. I like beverages. I drink my water, but I fit in beverages because I like them. Drinking *only* water is not something I want to do.

Losing 15 pounds by Halloween.

Calorie counting doesn't work for everyone. Calorie counting can make some people obsessive. It can make some people binge. That's what it does for me sometimes. Counting and obsessing over every little morsel you put in your mouth, denying yourself something you don't know the calories of, but then binging on it later…

Thank you!

I just started back MyFitnessPal and exercising, and while doing my exercise video, I wanted to stop it and sit down so bad (it's been about three months since I've exercised, and I'm out of shape), but I didn't. I pushed through.

Pizza, cupcakes, cake, butter pecan ice cream (or really any kind of ice cream that i like), big bags of chips, Cheeze It Party Mix.

I think people have to do what works best for them. For me, I can't skip breakfast, because if I do, the next meal goes straight through me. Sorry for the TMI. But even if it didn't, I do love eating breakfast.

People lose and gain back weight with MyFitnessPal and other diets too. That's not just a Weight Watchers thing.

Not only was it creepy, it's inaccurate. I highly doubt he's qualified to be speaking on what "most girls" do.

It's comforting to know that other people eat the whole bag, box, or package of something sometimes. It's like you can't help it. You buy it with the intention of eating the serving size, but cravings take over, and it's gone.

i'm 5'10 and weigh about 205. I used to be 270. It seems like I've hit a wall. For the last 3 or so months, I've basically stayed the same. It's not a plateau, it's me. I eat enough to maintain, but can't seem to stay on track to lose. I always end up eating more than I should. I want to lose 20 more pounds, but I don't…

Congratulations!

I agree with everything you said, especially the drinking too much water part. Drinking too much can be detrimental to your heath.

Some bad news. Endurance-wise, I feel up for the challenge, but my knees are REALLY hurting from the jogging. I know I can get knee braces and get fitted for running shoes. (Getting fitted and getting new shoes won't happen for a while because I don't have the money). I want to continue, but I don't want to blow my knees…

Guys, thank you for your advice and encouragement! I officially started Week 1 Day 1 today, and I made it 7 out of 8 jogging segments! I'm psyched!

Thanks everyone!

I'm 5'10 and somewhere between 205 and 210. Size 16 is too big on me, super baggy. I can fit a size 14 in New York and Company, Old Navy, and Wal Mart. I want to get down to 190 or 180.

If I exercise a whole lot, it definitely makes me eat more, which is okay. But it also can lead to binging. I have had to cut down my exercise so I don't binge. It's not a lack of self-control for me. Lots of exercise makes me ravenous and binge-y.

I am happy with my body. I am happy that I have lost weight, but I do want to drop more pounds and sizes.

Thanks everyone. I'm an hourglass.

Congrats to you all!

Yummy. I bet your food was better than mine. lol

Thanks so much everyone! I wish I could log it, but i don't remember the quantities of some of it. lol It's the next day, and my stomach is kinda full from yesterday, so I don't even feel like eating breakfast.

I've had no children, but i have stretch marks. I have them on my upper arms, a few on my tummy on one side, my butt, my upper thighs all over, and my calves. I don't wear shorts and I don't wear bathing suits. As I lose weight, I feel more coming in. I don't even look at my legs because I can't stand seeing them there. I…
