Hello!!! Tiffany from Florida here! Would love some new friends- feel free to add me!!!
-
Add me please!!!! 50ish lbs down, 50ish to go by year end! (Total goal loss of 150ish lbs)
-
Thanks! It is a totally new way of looking at things, and I feel a huge sense a relief, actually. So happy to begin this healthy journey. :)
-
I need help being accountable and staying focused!!! Please add me :)

Awesome inspiration! I just updated my ticker and am actually showing 159 lbs/go, but really I would be happy with 140. It's a more realistic goal for my body. I just can't figure out how to change my goal weight! Oh, well! :) Added you!!!!
-
I need friends, too! I used to interact a lot with people on MFP, but I took a hiatus (And YES regained the weight and then some!) but I'm back at it full force and for the final time. I'm newly engaged and getting married in 16 mos. And I refuse to be a fat bride. This is really a struggle for me, and it's so easy to get…

I used to drink a 2-3 cokes/day. I quit for a year, then started up again. When I stopped again, I instantly started losing weight. Not just from the coke, I had major changes, but that helped. Recently I relapsed and I'm really counting today as "Day 1" of my final diet journey. But, what I wanted to tell you is that, you…

uhg- clearly i am technology impaired. i followed the link, created a photobucket acct, blah, blah, sent myself a test message and the image doesn't work. I'm bummed, b/c i really wanted before/after pix, but, between having a mac and skitch changing and not being able to do side by side, and then not being able to figure…
-
Thought I replied last night, but I must have clicked off. Personally, I trying my darndest to stick to 1200 calls/day, and I do not prefer to eat exercise cals back (although, sadly, my fitbit died a couple days ago, so not getting exercise cals right now anyway!) It's not my place to suggest to anyone else what their…

i am loving the pix! meant to get mine down by now, but haven't had a chance. hopefully tomorrow i will be home at a decent hour and can get them taken. Will post ASAP. I am so excited to see the change between now and NYE!!!!! :D
-
Hi guys-- sorry I've been a smidge MIA-- life is rearing its ugly head lately. So-- I fell off the wagon late last week and unfortunately ended the week up a couple lbs :( BUT-- As of today I am back on track! Over by like 55 cals today, i think, but all things considered I am pretty happy with that. Haven't been able to…
-
Awesome-- THANK YOU!!! :) I'll try and take some pix, probably tomorrow-- YAY!!! :) Seeing our month over month progress should be really inspiring- can't wait for the final before and after! :)
-
Hey All: I've LOVED reading all your comments and goals, and every time I check in on this group I get MORE excited!!! We can all do this- Will definitely be a lot of work and will have to stay focused and keep up the motivation, but I can already tell this group is going to be great for that!!! Ok-- Looks like it's 24 wks…
-
I've found changing my thinking about food to be one of the most important things I've done in my journey thus far. Still have a lot to work on, but being cogniscient of it def helps :)
-
How exciting! You can do it :)
-
Hi All--- I'm *so* excited about the great responses I've been getting-- and the adds! :) Upon someone's brilliant suggestion, I made a group for the challenge. This way we can all keep in touch, keep each other focused and motivated, and track our progress. The group is called "50 lbs down by NYE Challenge"-- Should be…
-
YES- hot NYE dress!!!! My B-Day happens to be Jan 4th, too, so sexy party this year!!!! No jeans and a boobalicious tank this time lol! YAY!!!!! Feel free to add me and LETS DO THIS!!!!
-
ok that works! doesn't need to be exactly the same goal. i feel off around the end of April (right before i started grad school) and i have been struggling off and on ever since. but i'm trying to keep up the motivation and find new ways to stay focused :) would love some friendly competition :)
-
hi- i only started using fitbit jan15th, but, yes i've been seeing results. that sd- i completely ignore the calories fitbit tells me to eat. COMPLETELY. i feel like they would have me eating WAY too much food. for me, i try to stick to 1200 cal/day and i try not to eat back my calories earned from exercising. try... that…
-
by far the gym. in turn, it makes me *want* to eat healthier too, b/c i don't want to blow all the work i've just done! best thing i ever did (along w/ getting a fitbit- goes hand in hand, tho!)
-
i log as i go, but i pre-check things. like, i figure out what i'll have for dinner, based on what i want for lunch and the calories left. esp if i'm going out or something like that. truly pre-logging doesn't work for me, b/c sometimes i am DYING for a snack, and havng a really munch day, while other days i'm totally…
-
^exactly what he said. well put.
-
for me personally, i was using MFP pretty solid for about 8mos (and dropping weight). then i fell off the wagon. thought it was second nature, and id conquered my eating habits. but, slowly i started gaining a bit back. then i was able to mostly maintain, but i wasn't losing a thing. thats' when i came back, and now i'm…
-
some people got a little fired up over this... didn't expect that. it is the unspoken "BUT...." that bothers me. And when "you have such a pretty face" comes from a guy that you've just started talking to (and like), yah, i heard a "BUT"..... i don't think i'm overly sensitive for being a little bothered by this. i'm not…
-
YES- *exactly* how i feel when i hear this. i hate it :/
-
i am feeling frustated at this today, too. i have wanted to join in on so many threads and enjoy reading them to try and stay upbeat and keep my motivation, but i get scared to comment b/c some people are so nasty. i finally posted a thread and someone said something completely unhelpful and i kinda just went off on them a…
-
And that would not be a helpful answer. Why post? I've been quiet on these boards all day b/c I see all these nasty comments from people and I get scared to even say anything. Not that the above is very nasty, but, why do you even need to post then? A million people on here sync MFP and fitbit, and I knew someone would…
