I agree. Remove the scale. Resolve to measure and rely on how you fit in your clothes. Also by how much energy you have!

I also need to stop worrying about wasting food and eating my kids leftovers. I need to serve them very small portions and if they don't eat it, just chuck it. This will be hard for me. I can't stand watching my picky son's dish of food go into the trash. I always eat it. I MUST STOP THIS. I do this all the time.It's a bad…

I realized I was the biggest person in the room every place I went. :frown: That and my friends were begging me to go to the gym with them and join WW and MFP. I did and I haven't looked back. :bigsmile: My friends are awesome. Not many friends would be so honest but mine were and they were also motivating. It made all the…

I agree with the above. If you can add a workout in yet today, then that will help. Otherwise, move on and do better tomorrow. One bad day will not kill your overall goals. It's a journey! :flowerforyou:

I'm going to stay there! :tongue: I'm also going to give myself one heck of a vacation. One where there is a beach and fruity drinks with umbrellas.

Um...me either but I guess we posted at the same time. Yuck! :sick:

Never have I ever licked a battery no matter how hard I was pressured by siblings and now my husband :huh:

Popcorn is my "go-to" as well. However, most everyone is right that you can have one day a month to eat what you want. I have trouble doing so because I tend to then allow myself to "go off track" and it is hard to get back on. It allows those cravings I've kept at bay to overwhelm me till I satisfy them. :( I find popcorn…

I take a Zumba or Hip Hop Hustle class once a week. It is so much fun and I don't feel like I'm working out. I have lost 26 lbs. and this has been my primary work out.

Here's the latest I've read: http://www.fitsugar.com/Diet-Soda-Leads-Weight-Gain-New-Studies-Find-18073646 Diet soda has zero calories and therefore will not cause you to gain weight but according to the study the aspertame used as a sweetener might cause you to crave other food. There are studies that suggest that people…

I'm in. I have a wedding for a very good friend of mine in June 2012. I don't think I'll be at my goal but anything would be nice and I like the motivation of doing something with a group. Current weight :231 Current size: 18/20 Goal weight: 150 Goal size: 12 Wedding date: June 30, 2012

I'm doing a 5K in November with two friends. We're all overweight but that's the reason we're doing this! It's about being healthy! Good luck and tell us how it went.

This is a great place to learn more about yourself and others on this journey. 4 weeks in and I'm finally feeling like I can really do this, this time.

Accept yourself for who you are with the 25 pounds and believe in yourself enough to know you CAN get them off! I am constantly under my calorie goal but above the fat grams :( It's a learning process and a journey. Don't beat yourself up, just learn from the tracking and move forward. Welcome to the site :)

Good luck! I hear that day is the kicker! Just remember to breathe and pace yourself!

Week 3 Day 2 here. Love the program. I've never been good at running but I'm amazing at how I can run 3 minutes now when 60 seconds was rough Week one. I have 2 other ladies doing it with me and having them run with me is fantastic. I have my first 5K in November and I'm hoping I can run the whole thing! Job and pace…

Some studies show that having a benge day is a good thing. :) Don't be pissed at yourself. Take it as a reminder that you're human and going to trip up. This is a journey, not an overnight success.

Glad to have you on here! It's about feeling better. Just three weeks in and I feel better than I thought I would and losing weight! We can do this!

Depression eating is the worst. Just keep your inspirations for losing weight in mind. If you can, take a walk outside which might help. Anything that gets your mind off your worries. Good luck. YOU CAN DO IT!

I'm also a momma who needs to lose it. I've had more time than you to do so (6 year old and 1 year old boys) but I'm finally ready to put my health first! I've been on here two weeks and I love the community, the celebrations, and the fact that I've lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks. It is a small feat but it is better than the…
