Hello and welcome!! My diary is viewable by friends and I have been at it for over a year, since last Feb 13. I have lost 44 lbs and would have lost more had it not been for being sidelined by a car accident and then surgery. I am buckling down harder on my eating habits and trying to start the toning process with strength…

I am a working mother of one. I began my journey on Feb 21 of this year and so far have lost 18 pounds. I have gotten off track a few times but it is really working this time because I was finally ready to change. I started at 216.8 and am now 198.6. I use JM workout DVD's, I walk, I use my apartment gym and I lift weights…

I am the same way. We all are. I have t oremind myself of the progress I have made in other areas. Take measurements too, as well as document how much of a particular exercise you can do before having to rest and then do it again every month on your journey. I couldn't do a single pushup 3 months ago and can do 40 in 10…

Some of my current fave workout songs are "Stronger" Kelly Clarkson, "Stronger" Kanye West, "Sweet Nothing" Florence Welch and Calvin Harris, "N*&$# in Paris" Kanye and Jay Z, "I won't back down" Eminem ft Pink, and "Let's GO" Calvin Harris and NeYo.

I ate half a bag of Reese's miniatures last night AFTER I had closed my log for the day.....and I didn't log the mini bag of Chips Ahoy cookies I ate today either. Thank God I am not the only one who does this. TOM is horrible for me with control.

I like them a lot and I have tried all the flavors. It is a matter of personal preference if you will like the hot vegetables and meat on cold lettuce. If you get romaine or spinach as your base, it holds up pretty well to the warmth and won't go all soggy on you. I also let the pouch sit for 2 minutes after microwaving it…

You have made amazing progress! Keep rocking it girl!! <3

Thanks so much for all this wonderful helpful advice, I am still finding my way, and what works for me and what doesn't. I have been tracking for about 3 months now and I am slowly improving my quality of food. I was never a "terrible" eater but there were definitely places I could improve . That being said---- My advice…

I am 5'4'' and am currently 207 pounds.. my highest weight was 221, my first goal is to get under 200 for first time in 5 years.. second will be 185, etc. I am currently a 16 in pants, a XL in most shirts, and just unhappy w my weight.. not my body.. my weight. I had a moment and woke up around the beginning of the year.…

Ok to sum it up-- I need to eat back what a burn by at least half???? I don't mind doing this- I just had no idea. I thought that goal was to stay at calorie goal and then burn calories working out as well. Dang. Blonde moment. So my calories are at 1560- and I need to eat 1560- plus some of the 400 or so I burn in…
-
Wow I was wrong. I thought I was supposed to just eat what MFP allotted me and then the burning was burning, I wasn't supposed to eat those back. I am set at 1560 with a pound a week aimed to lose, with about an average of 400 calories burned 4 to 5 times a week w exercise. It looks like my net is sitting right around 1200…

You look amazing!!! What an inspiration you are!! I am 5'4'' and currently weigh 208- my highest recorded weight was 221. I started changing my eating habits over a year ago and it has helped a lot. But now I am getting really clean w my eating and making 95% of my meals at home. Right now I walk, sprint and do the 30 day…

:noway: Grrrrr---MEN suck seriously sometimes. My hubby makes "comments" like that sometimes. Know what I did--I stopped doing stuff for him. His lunch stopped being made for work, laundry piled up(only his) and I did not do his dishes. He caught the hint real fast--and now seldom a day goes by where he doesn't help me in…

I agree ladies!! I am currently experiencing that same exact thing! I ate 10 piece Chicken Nuggets last night w a med fry and a med sprite!! And you know what--w that time of the month ---it was the most amazing satisfying meal EVER!!:drinker: I know I cannot do it all the time and I won't --but by golly with all the…

I have taken small steps during trips to the store already--whole grain bread, pasta and rice cake chips. My biggest downfall is sweets, soda and serving sizes!! I am trying desperately to work on these things!!
-
Thank you for the kind words. I know everyone has felt this way, but why can't it just come off? Its so frustrating and everyone is telling me different things...like that inches matter more than weight or walking is better than hard workouts. I am not sure what to believe or where to start!! Anyone have any advice about…

:indifferent: I am just trying to find my way as I start this very painful and difficult journey to losing weight. I kept a food journal for a while but I am sure I will find doing so online is alot easier. I am a f/t mom, p/t employed outside of the home, who spends too much time on the computer and inside doing nothing.…
