I wouldn't worry about it as long as you are keeping calories under control and feeling well. It would be difficult to eat too much of anything when calories are restricted. :) Congrats on the little one.

Probably Space Balls is number 1, followed by Blazing Saddles. Oh, Young Frankenstein too! Pretty funny man.

Welcome! Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Take each day at a time and you will succeed! Feel free to friend me. :)

Rock those boots, girl!

Good luck. I saw a new doctor recently, and he said, just stay under 1600 calories per day for three months, and come back then. It was not as easy as I hoped, but it was way easier to just count calories and nothing else for a few weeks. After a month, I had lost 9 pounds, and I was already feeling better. A week went by…

So sorry for your loss. I lost my 18 year old son a few years ago, and I put on some weight afterwards as well, although i was already overweight. But, it didn't help. God bless and good luck on your journey. :)

Several years ago I joined a Curves in my neighborhood. I went there literally five days a week for six straight months. I did everything they said. I gained weight! After six months, I felt like it wasn't helpful to me at all, and I gave it up. That was my experience. I have a lot better results (and it's way cheaper) if…

So what happened? Did you get it into the house? I was wondering if you could call a moving company and they ought to be able to help you out for maybe 50 bucks or so. Now I want to know how it turns out. :)

Welcome back! :)

GREAT post!

After dropping the first nine pounds, my daughter took me shopping at Maurice's where I got some really cute things that I really liked. Coming out of the store in one of my new outfits (with heels -- big deal b/c I broke my leg last year and never thought I could wear them again), my daughter took the pic and I thought it…

Looks like you're well on your way, and could probably offer me a few pointers. :)

So happy you were able to post the pics today. WAY TO GO!!!! You look fantastic, and I know you are feeling wonderful. Congratulations on a monumental achievement! :)

Aw. Cute turtle picture! Take it one day at a time and I recommend learning all the tools on the site, b/c they are amazing! Good luck and feel free to friend if you like. :)

I started by just limiting calories to 1600 per day as my doctor suggested. I could eat anything I wanted, as long as I didn't go over. This site is fantastic for keeping track! Also, I ride stationary bike for at least 20-30 minutes, three days a week, and do some light strength training and swimming afterward (followed…

THANKS!! :)

I am very lucky to have a great gym provided by our city (we pay a small monthly usage fee). IDK what I would do if I didn't have that. You guys could always move to Missouri! :)

I hit a plateau after 12 pounds -- doing exactly like doctor said and just limiting to 1600 cals per day. But I was STARVING all the time! Yesterday, I decided to get serious about low carb and already broke my plateau!! I know it's not for everyone, but after a week of no movement, or even being up some days, I realize I…

LOL. wow you are young! haha. oh well, looking forward to seeing the before and afters.

Gradual, steady weight loss is the most sustainable. Take it from me. My last crash diet, I took off over 35 pounds in no time flat. Fast forward to today, when I weigh almost 80 pounds more!!! Time is our friend when it comes to making changes. :) Keep moving in the right direction. You can!

Christine, I'm 41. After my 35th birthday, I gained 65 pounds in less than a year! I've put on more since then. It's never too late! Don't cheat yourself by not listing all your foods. My doc said 1600 calories and I thought it would be way too much food. I must have been munching all the time because I am starving! lol…

Curves. I gained about 15 pounds on their program going five days a week for over six months! After doing their 6-week diet and gaining another three pounds, I quit altogether. That place was expensive!

OMG! You are looking fantastic! Believe me, good pic or not, it definitely shows! :)

Seems like I'm hitting a lot of steamed fresh vegetables. They are filling and I enjoy the taste and they don't kill my calorie budget. I also make sure I have a little bread product for breakfast and I don't skimp on fake butters -- I just use a lot less! My only aim is to stay under 1600 calories daily per doctor's…

YES! Keep up the great work!

Go for it, Goddess! :)

I wanna buy new jeans that feel like they are hanging onto me instead of holding me in. I wanna be debt free. I wanna house in the country.

Hi Kat! Feel free to friend if you need more newbie buddies. I am also on day 3! I'm enjoying the feeling of support and the simplicity of using the computer plus Android app to track diet and exercise. :)

Jazzy, send me a friend request. It limits to 5 every 10 minutes, and I'm afraid I'm going to lose you in the boards. :)
