I fight this struggle DAILY. I had sleeve surgery a year ago and I do overindulge in sweets especially the past few weeks. My bariatric dietitian has told me to allow myself a very small amount once a week, as in half of a snack cake, one cookie, a hershey miniature, etc. and let that be your "cheat". That may be enough to…

Here is my plan for tonight. I worked out extra hard at the gym so I could allow myself plenty of beer/shots. Eight Bud Select 55's (or Miller 64's) will be my drink of choice and I'm allowing myself one misdemeanor shot (half crown/half buttershots for those of you who aren't familiar with it). That should give me a good…

I want to join too! I didn't know there was a thread for this sort of thing. I enjoy drinking and I need some help restraining and some accountability wouldn't hurt either. I don't drink every day, but on the weekends I've been known to 'forget" exactly how many drinks I had. I hope to improve on that. I want to have a…

I had a boss that told me the same thing. I shrugged it off because you're right, it is YOUR body and no one should decide your ultimate goal but YOU. Maybe she's jealous and doesn't want you to look better than her?? Just sayin. Keep your chin up and reach the goal YOU are comfortable with!!

My goal calorie intake was generated for me. I guess it's correct (??) What I am thinking MAY be part of the problem is the MFP exercise database. When I work out at the gym, I look on the cardio machines at the calories burned and it's nowhere near what the database says I'm burning (???) Could that also be part of the…

I find that I do better when the "goodies" are out of my reach. I have the luxury of having get-together's at my dad's house (I live across the street) and I can leave them all at his house or send them home with other family members. Try to give away what's leftover that you know you will indulge in. Don't beat yourself…

I measured my waist and since I began this weight loss journey, I've lost 7.5 inches in my waist alone. Now I'm not sure how much of that was within the last month, since I started using MFP and working out at the gym. But I'm taking everyone's advice and I'm going to track that on here from now on :) Feeling a little…

Wow! Good information :) Thanks so much for sharing!!

I haven't measured my waist in a couple of months. I will do that as soon as I can find my tape measure (I'll keep you posted). I am making progress. My clothes are fitting better and some are even getting a little big. I just feel like if I slow down the exercise and increase calories, that I will gain :(

I'm netting, after exercise calories are figured, around 1000 calories on a GOOD day.

My food diary should be public now. I have about 75 lbs. to go to reach my goal. I've lost 54 lbs so far. Gotta go for now, please don't forget me. Your suggestions are so appreciated!

Yes, I will let you look at my food diary, but I have to figure out how first...lol. I will have to do it tonight, lunch hour is almost over. I'll check back in later, thanks everyone!!!

I am lucky, believe me it's a problem I love having! I work out every day, for at least an hour. I joined a gym with a friend of mine and every day we work out on the tredmill, stationary bikes, and we lift weights. We've been working out from an hour to an hour and a half each time. So, I burn anywhere from 700-900+…

My niece tried it and she is a huge Dr. Pepper fan. It's 10 cals and is supposed to taste like the real thing. I'll be trying it soon :)
