I need both... sometimes tough love in the wrong situation works backwards... also coddling makes it too hard to concentrate on my true goal.

I conquered cheese! woot! I work at Albertsons and the chocolate chip cookies we give the kids are to die for but at 130 calories a cookie and I could eat like 4 a day it kills me!!!

I love those books! they are totally cool!

That looks good. Don't be afraid of eating more than 1200 you need fuel for all that exercise!

join the club! ug! there is nothing better to eat than chocolate and wine at this time of night too!

sounds like we have similar weight loss.... goals and stories... aside from I have solely used mfp. my last 6 months (especially through the holidays gained at least 8 lbs) I have had an almost impossible time losing. Since the new year I have gotten rid of the additional holiday lbs and another 5 on top of that. I…

I did it for about $150 yrs ago. I "saw" no difference she measured 10-15 inches but took measurements in about 25 spots (lol)! It was a fantastic time for resting and pampering... And my skin felt delightful afterwards. However, if you are truely looking to lose inches that are noticable or have them stay off stick with…

So controversial lol! I think halvies sounds great if you ask me. So many do a cheat day and it works for them. Basically you have to figure out how it works for your body try it for a couple weeks if you quit seeing results try something else! Really this journey is about finding a lifestyle that works for you and your…

You are starving. Eat more. Read the post for newbies they will explain it better than I can.

Amen sista!

I was fortunate enough to avoid the negative comments and sabotage for the most part. But I know that once my weight loss became more obvious many people around me made statements that they never thought I could actually do it. Its really got to all be about you when you make this change, anyone elses opinions and snarky…

Bump for later

I would say to try not to cheat so early on. Give yourself some months to work on your lifestyle change then consider it. And I would say a cheat should be considered only 200-300 cals over not 1000 ya know! :)

Shrimp stir fry with TONS of veggies :) :)

Sounds like u are on the right track my hubby has just gave up fast food and alcohol he is eating healthy now too the calories just don't add up as quickly :) you're doing fine I'm sure but a glass off milk or a couple nuts will add a few extra cals to get u closer to your goal cals you should really try not to go too far…

Yes absolutely! Its horrible! However I've read somewhere that u burn an extra 300 cals a day during that time... To bad I eat at least 700 more ha ha!

My goal for tomorrow is to drink ALL my water and do 1 hour of wii fit... I CAN DO IT

You nedd to be as close to that number as possible if you want to see the results you have anticipated. If you go over realize that you would have to eat over your daily deficit (1000 cals/day for 2 lbs/week) to actually put weight on... Most would suggest not going under too much or too many days because you need too…

People are so stubborn. Just pop the magic pill and then you'll look like a super model right! Ha. Ha. If it were a simple pill we would not have th obesity problem we have. We have all worked hard to lose the weight we've lost here maybe some have had small successes with pills but the long term lifetime loss is going to…

Wow these differnces in body types are amazing. I am nearly 5 8 and weigh 170 I'm a size 8 some 10s and 12s still fit but 8s are perfect

weekends suck! Especially now that its time for celebrations everywhere! I keep telling myself I am going to be so good... then I'M NOT! Its really depressing that I don't have the self control that I started this out with... I could do so much better and I know it because I have. Between cocktails and making cookies and…

I love my magic bullet! This bullet express is it worth it?!

BEAUTIFUL

I asked my husband to put it away for a week (I'm slightly obsessive and weigh everyday anyways) because I know I ate too much and drank too much and I want to give my body some time to even back out before I weigh again :(

You are amazing! Keep on keepin on! You will eventually lose the weight but more importantly you ARE getting healthy! Your body will forever thank you for turning away from the electric cart!
