My mom has noticed after only 3 pounds...but I think others will start to notice once I hit the 10 pound mark. That's how it went last year when I lost a lot of poundage.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably make a list of things I should be doing (like long-term schoolwork) to keep me busy, and I'm going to make my cut off time 7 pm. I used to so much better than this, than let myself go! Thanks for the help!

What could you possibly need to work on? You look great, go for the bikini!!!!!

So far, my main hindrance to weight loss is LATE NIGHT SNACKING!!! I just can't stop going in the snack cupboard because I'm so bored! I'm still losing weight despite of it, but...I know I would lose it faster if I stopped this. It became a bad habit before I was trying to lose weight, and now I can't stop! What have the…

We have it for dinner at home, but I eat it in small portions. I'm not eating it anymore, though. It REALLY increases my calories and takes away my evening snack..:grumble:

^I"ve had shockers like that too. Don't worry..if you only eat one each day and burn the calories off, it's not so bad. That's what I've learned to do if what I ate contained more fat than I thought.

I hula hoop on the Wii every day! I don't know how to log it, so I put it as low impact aerobics, 'cause it IS in the aerobic category of the Wii.

As I was looking through my dietary log today, I noticed that I have MAJOR differences in my calorie intake some days. Is this OK? I've heard that weight loss can be successful if you "confuse your metabolism" by eating a noticeable difference in calories each day. I'm on a 1,200 calorie a day diet...will this work for me?…

I always go for grilled chicken at burger joints and an iced tea. At buffet places, I get grilled chicken or fish, a baked potato, and salad...I always stick to veggies for side dishes and fruit for dessert! And I use iced tea or water as a beverage.:drinker:

I would like to do that when it gets warmer. How do you keep track of your miles, and when does this start? (It's been raining too much here for me to get out.)

That's great! I'm worried about maintaining my weight when I lose it all, too. Do you get to eat more calories now?:drinker:

I don't pay attention to my BMI. I am going to go by how I want to look and feel and what size clothing I fit into. If my BMI doesn't like it, tough!

Wow, you look great! Keep it up!

I LOVE them! You mean the 90 calorie bars, right? I love the strawberry, blueberry, vanilla, and chocolate!

Wow! I would have thought that was 20 pounds! You look great!:drinker:

I love sugar cookie crusts!

Yuck. I don't like fast food burgers or fries....but I LOVE onion rings. However, I only let myself get grilled chicken at burger joints.

Congrats!

1) LOSE WEIGHT! 2) Wear a bikini again! 3) Visit Europe (mainly Germany (Holocaust areas), France, and Spain 4) Go the Bahamas 5) Find my true love 6) Have children 7) LOVE LIFE:heart:

I used to be just like you...everyone deals with that. Some things that help me.. 1) I think about the benefits of eating healthy and exercising. I compare how I used to feel with how I feel NOW. I love the energy I get from exercising and eating healthy, so I feel better about myself. 2) I try on clothing that is a little…

I have the same problem! I've been lazy about dieting and exercising for the past week. I can't stop snacking every couple of hours....but I'm getting back on track now. I feel 'fat' for eating that way and I hate the feeling, so I won't binge anymore because I don't want to experience the feeling again.

I've been using the Wii too! I run, hula hoop, and do yoga and strength training! I've lost some weight already!

I noticed it too! I feel happier and more energetic!

Only my mother has noticed so far:laugh: , but that gives me more motivation!:happy:

I'm in!!!! My goal is 3 pounds!

Wow! That was very informative! I thought that I wasn't benefitting from the little bit of running I got in before I go to school, but I guess that every little bit did add up!

My pants are getting too big too! Doesn't it feel great to put on clothing and just feel it fall off of you? Congrats!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Congratulations! When I hit a plateau and am unhappy with my scale readings, I'll think of you!:drinker:

I love bananas! They are easy to burn off, too! I also like 100 calorie pack snacks, yogurt, Nutri - Grain Bars, and Special K Bars

I'm another one who will have to get new clothes when my current ones get baggy.....so I'll have to start saving! When I go down 10 pounds, I'm rewarding myself to a SKIRT!!!!!
