Ha, man, this sounded like me last month when I went shopping for a new TV. Had my sights set on either a Samsung or LG LCD or LED, and ended up walking out with a 42'' Panasonic plasma TV. Why? Image - The room it was going into typically stays dark, even with some lights on. General consensus is that plasmas are best for…

I've lost 20 pounds in 3 months by simply following MyFitnessPal and the 500 calorie reduction. 20 pounds at 3 months = 80 pounds at 12 months, if I had that much to lose. I eat about 1800 calories a day and obviously am not starving my body of vital nutrients. Do what you think is an easy way to lose weight, but I'm on…

The changes you can feel and see are more important than that little number on the scale.

Just a day that your calorie intake is significantly higher than you're used to. For example, my calorie goal is 1870 a day. I would consider a day I eat 2500 calories to be a spike day.

My fiancee has been here for nearly two years, and I joined back in November. Combined we have lost around 60 pounds or so, but now that I'm fully invested in a healthier lifestyle like she is, I'm sure it is 10000% easier for her. I do feel bad for not being any real support in years past, but trying to make that up now.…

I think I saw the phrase "I'm in the same boat" about 20 times, and I can say the same thing. Nothing else I can really add that'll add to anything, but I can vouch for the "drink tons of water" as that works for me. Gets you up and walking (to the bathroom) whether you want to or not!

Haha, I was going to say something but you beat me to it!

You just check whichever items you want then click the green "Add Checked" button right above or below the check boxes.

When you're adding a meal to you diary, hit "Add Food" then go to the "My Meals" tab and check your meal. Easy!

I'm 22, been here about a month and have already lost about 6 pounds. I love this site, and you (and everyone else who's new) will love it too! Always looking to add motivated people who log in daily. Feel free to add me (just put a little message in the friend request is all I ask!).

22 year old, finishing up my Senior year at university. Did fine managing weight until I moved off-campus and got a desk job this summer. Just sent a friend request (and open to others, just send me a message with the request!).

Jess, you are a wonderful person for posting this. Haha, thanks!!!

"Do you think you can keep it off this time? Do you think you've beaten it?" Answer: "Nope. I dropped xx amount of weight because I was bored but I think I'll go ahead and put it all back on. You know, keep my body off-guard and ready for anything!" or "Well, winter's coming around and I guess I should put on more weight…

Amazing. Simply amazing. Haha :drinker:

Diet Coke, Diet Mt. Dew, Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper. Any restaurant that serves Diet Mt. Dew and/or Diet Dr. Pepper is a favorite of mine. Although since I started I've tried to cut down my cola drinking. Probably down to 3-4 drinks a week, which is fine for me.

Agreed!

I'm not an Aussie, but love the culture and probably know more about Australia than most Americans do. I'm an avid logger and (try) to support everyone on my friends' list that logs in daily as well. Looking for more support! Side-note, I think the Geelong Cats are the strangest name for an Aussie Rules Football team. Not…

Hey Chris! I recently joined and lost 3.2 pounds my first week. I know I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, so feel free to add me if you'd like! And anyone else that would like to friend me, if you're a daily logger I'd love to be friends as well.

Haha, nice! To the OP - Perhaps get a picture of you back at your goal weight in high school and put it up on your wall or next to your bed. A visual representation of your motivation. You have to want to make things right, and understand that this isn't just a few week program - this is a lifestyle change. Eating better,…

Tampa here!

Thank you sir. My sarcasm comes out after 2 straight hours of finance homework and sleep deprivation. lol.

Really? People getting bent out of shape about this? Just an amusing little thread. ~ Any Aussies are more than welcome to come and stay here. The middle of our country is about the same as yours, just like 10,000x smaller. It apparently doesn't rain anymore in the state of Texas so that's probably the state that resembles…

Yes, please post the model you have. I'd love to get bluetooth headphones for my iPod.

160 in those pics??? I'm amazed - you look 30 pounds lighter. Fantastic job!

Dude! Great job! I'm in a similar boat. Currently at 217 now, looking to drop to 180. If you got those results in 90 days, while doing a 500 calorie deficit and cardio, I feel good about my chances. Thanks for sharing!

Don't forget to mark the bug on your food diary for today.

Thanks! You're ok - if you're full, don't worry about it too much. May want to eat a little more if you're going to work out hard like that. If you're hungry, you have some calories to spare. You're just consuming enough to fuel your body.

Hi Steph, what are your net calories for your day? If you open up your food diary, it would be easier for us to help :)

Hi there nellie! You don't happen to be in the Tampa area, are you? (813)

I'm new but am definitely motivated! Sending request :)
