Some people work out in order to eat more…if you log your exercise the site will add in more calories to your daily amount.

Me too! Maybe we should start a last 5 pounds club. I have 5-6 to go to my healthy BMI and then I have a new goal of 10-15lbs more. But it is taking soooo long to get to these last pounds off. I wonder if I will ever get there! I have just added a weight class and will be increasing the weights. Less reps and heavier…

I personally think it's OK to save some calories from one day to splurge a little more another day. But saving calories to drink seems like a bad idea to me. I've had drinks on an empty stomach before. You won't really know how it will effect you. May not help you belt it out after all.

What is working for me: Keep going one day at a time. It does get easier. Appreciate and love your body each step of the way. Set mini goals all the way to your ideal weight. Keep setting goals even after you get there. Give yourself non-food rewards and celebrate every big or small victory. Keep a journal and write the…

Someone I know is doing it and she loves it. She has lost weight and says she feels great, isn't hungry, and has plenty of energy. Personally I wouldn't do it. I have had my share of quick fixes. I need to develop a lifestyle I can live with - well - for the rest of my life. I think for me to do that I need to eat…

Cool. I'm up for that.

Thanks for sharing. I guess I will stop complaining about my super slow weight loss the last 6 months. Maybe I am saving myself from saggier skin…giving it a chance to catch up.

Yes the wrinkles have come out but I figure that my health is actually aging backwards as I lose weight and tone and am more active. My blood pressure and all of those numbers have improved to the point that they can't get much better. I suppose I can live with the wrinkles.

Good for you. You should be proud of taking responsibility for your health at a young age.

And there is tomorrow…more BBQ and big family party with lots of treats. Got to keep that new swim suit in mind…

Many splurges! Last night BBQ ribs. Extra exercise after dinner. Today splurge shopping. Got new work out clothes and a swim suit. Now that is a reward I am really going to like.

I can see a big difference. You are doing great. And your baby is cute too! :flowerforyou:

All I can say is OMG! You look crazy amazing! Thanks for the inspiration.

Well I enjoy decaf and "mocktails"! It's the taste not the buzz…

I can't imagine not being able to eat more than 1000. I wish I had that problem! But seriously, a handful of nuts or a banana or apple with some peanut butter would add up to a few hundred quickly.

I'd go back in and double check on that. Seems high to me. You can also set it to lose more pounds a week.

Part of my reasoning is probably because of having to clean my plate and eat stuff I hated as a kid. I didn't want to impose that on my kids. Now as teens they eat well, healthy and a variety of foods.

When my kids were little they were picky eaters. I found the healthy things they would eat and went with those. There are lots of foods that are kid friendly. Sometimes it is the way you put them together or what you call it. We used to make a hedgehog snack which was low fat cream cheese with sliced carrots stuck in it…

That would be fun if Leo came back. Who else? Wondering where all these actors will go next.

I got started watching AMC with my mom when I was a teenager, a long time ago…. I am so disappointed they are going off the air. I am enjoying the Erica and impostor storyline a lot. I think it will be fun to see who all they bring back for the finale, like Dixie and how else they will wrap it up. Will they make everyone…

I think it is independently distributed or found online. I don't want to promote it. Just wondering if anyone has tried it.

Totally awesome!

Oatmeal and strawberries. yum.

Congratulations! I have been working to get there for a long time. Nice to hear you made it! I'm soooooo close…

Since you are ahead of your goal, just get out and go take a no pressure walk. A fun walk day. Maybe do a mile and just enjoy!

Miracle suit. Worth every penny! Sucks it in, holds it up and flatters.

Strawberries with light whip cream. I'm addicted. And the weird one is quaker oat bran cereal. I must have it everyday. I think that is really weird. Especially for me. Oh and international coffees sugarless mocha. Hmmmmm…

You are on a road to health. Loose skin or not it is worth losing weight. You will feel better and look better too. Here is what I have read to help prevent loose skin: Drink water! Release weight slow-no more than 2-3 lbs a week! Moisturize morning and before bed with a good lotion: Collagen cream, Stretch mark pregnancy…

When people ask how much weight I've lost and I usually just say "A lot!". I don't really want to advertise how fat I really was. So except for close friends and relatives I tend to keep the numbers to myself.

Welcome and know that you can do this. You really can. Something that really helped me is journaling and writing my thoughts and feelings. As an emotional eater it has helped me to notice and write when and why I am really wanting to eat. It has helped to recognize my patterns and the things that sabotage my diet. I figure…
