I can use support. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. I have around 70lbs to lose and can always use more supportive friends.

I too struggle with carbs. I love pasta and rice and I'm having a difficult time cutting back, but I'm trying. I'm also looking for new friends. Feel free to add me.

Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend.

That's right it is calories in vs. calories out. When I started I continued to eat the same old junk as I did to gain weight in the first place but in moderation and within my calorie goals and I lost weight without starting to exercise or even eat healthier but just by staying within my calorie goals. I have since started…

Hi!! I am also type 2 diabetic and want to lose close to 100 lbs. So far with the help of this site and the friends I have made here I've lost 24 lbs, almost a 1/4 of the way there. I am already starting to look and feel better. Stick with it and you can acomplish your goals and hopefully we both can kick the type 2…

Looks like another good one, thanks!!

I love cinnamon rolls!! Thanks for the recipe!

I've been wanting one too and would like to see some of the responses. I would also like to know how it rates compaired to a HRM and if the cost and monthly membership is really worth it or if it would be just as beneficial and less costly to stick with a HRM.

I would also like to hear everyone's input

I sent you a request. I'm not quite the big 3-0 yet but will be in a year and I also hope to be in better shape and much healthier by then.

Sent a request!

I started out weighing in once a week but I now find myself weighing in every couple of days only to get discouraged at a weight gain or staying the same weight as before. I am now considering only weighing in once a month so that I will be motivated by a larger weight loss number rather then a smaller one like I would…

I will have to try these, I love samoa cookies!

I would like to know also. It seems that no matter what I do I am always tired even if I sleep all day and night. Are there other reasons other then an iron deficiency that can cause someone to be tired all the time?

I don't mind and thank you! I can use all the support I can get.

I don't have many friends either and can also use the support. You can add me if you like!

Bump, I've been struggling lately and everyone has offered some great advice!

My husband and kids do not like to eat healthy and at first my husband hated the idea of healthy food but now after almost a year he is starting to come around and eat healthier things with me. For the days when he wants his "steak and potatoes" type meals I just make a lean meat with whatever unhealthy thing he wants and…

The Beck Diet Solution book had good advice on this and that was you will either throw the bad food away in your body or the trash. At least with the trash you will not be hurting your body. I do agree with others though and I would first try donating it to a food bank or maybe you know of a certain family that could use…

Thanks for the post. I've always had a hard time trying to figure out the fun and mini sized candys and how many calories were in each piece. This will make this Halloween much easier and hopefully easier to resist such candy.

I have lost about the same as you (20lbs) and I just got over a two month plateau. Just hang in there and keep following your diet and exercise plan and you will start to lose weight again. I, like you, tried eating more and less and exercising more and less and none of it had any effect. Eventually I gave up trying to…

Wow you sound just like me! I started around the same time as you too! I lost a lot of weight to begin with but no where near what I would have like to lose or what other's have lost in their first few months here. I don't have a lot of support at home and have a family that has no desire to eat healthier, well they say…

bump These are great thanks!

I like popcorn for a salty snack.

Only Midway there?!?! I would say you ARE there. Way to go!!! You look great!!

I have the same problem and I haven't even lost much yet. My husband even says he liked the way I was before I started losing weight because everything sags now. That is a little discuraging I want to be healthy but now my husband doesn't like the way I look. I think I will try some of the firming cream and see if that…

I always thought there is such a huge difference in swimming and other exercises too. I'm all for swimming if it really burns as many calories as MFP says but I do not have a HRM to know for sure. If I had to guess I would say swimming uses more muscles and therefore burns more calories then just walking.
