First, you're gorgeous. Keep working! Second, I LOVE the book arch!

I read about these today... and it's going to be very tough for me to pass it up. My mom and I are going on a cruise in September, and there's a Ben & Jerry's on the ship. Maybe I can wait until then!

I got my first tattoo at 25. And it took me years to figure out what I wanted and where I wanted it. I'm about to get my second one, and it's taken me 6 years to figure out just what to get. Tattoos are permanent body markings - I don't want to regret it down the road. It sounds like you're in the place where you know you…

Going to try and reply to everything and then I'm out, for good. The forums here are just... too prickly for me. 1) I didn't say low carb, I said less carb. I used to never eat vegetables AT ALL. Zero. Then when I decided to switch things up and be healthy, the weeks where my 1300 calories included MORE vegetables, I saw a…

And every single one of you has missed the point of the post. There ARE people where this isn't the case. Medical issues? Maybe! Other issues, perhaps. EITHER WAY, they (we) need support and motivation too.

Adding green vegetables is key for me. Even if it's just a salad with a meal. Lots of water. And moving. Even when I'm below my calorie goal, if all I eat are carbs and I don't move - because I'm insulin resistant, my body doesn't do anything with it. It just sticks around and I don't lose weight. I've been in that rut for…

I don't have thyroid issues, but I do have PCOS. I have gotten so discouraged in years past because no matter how much effort I put in, no weight came off. Something's different this time though. Metformin helps, for sure. I'm not sure what else is helping but I'm working really hard, and it does seem to be paying off…

I have 100 pounds to lose, but my first goal is just 30 pounds. I broke it up into more manageable chunks so it doesn't feel so overwhelming and daunting. In the end, you have to find what works for YOU. You're not the same as me, or the others on MFP. You're you. What works for me, might not work for you. I've had to work…

Oh, I feel your pain. I can't offer a quick fix or any good words of advice. Just know that you're not alone. And one day, when your brain and your body and your emotions are ready, you'll be able to control it. Don't give up.

I just found this group, and I think it's fantastic! Is it okay if I join late? I've been consistently weighing in and tracking the weight on MFP all month, so I can still use those numbers (I just shifted the dates by 1 to Monday instead of Sunday).

Mine is from Thanksgiving Day 2013

And it doesn't overcook the vegetables to leave it in as long as you need to cook the meat?
-
A tip for those who are single like me: If you make the meatloaf in a large muffin tin lined with foil you can freeze the individual sized "loaves" for a single serving rather than making a whole loaf! I freeze them raw and thaw them in the fridge while I'm at work. They're ready to be cooked when I get home, so I pop them…

Am I the only one who actually LIKES rice cakes? Assuming they're covered in that wonderful fake cheese dust? Because then it's like eating cheese flavored cardboard. But who cares... because cheese flavored anything is an instant win.
-
This is an interesting concept, but I'm unsure of the execution. I don't really want to eat chicken that was fully cooked in the microwave. How does that taste? I haven't tried it, but I have visions in my head that aren't good. What I've been doing (and it has worked well for me so far) is spending one whole day…

I've been struggling with this as well this week, but for me I'm 90% sure it's just my body reacting to the sudden activity. I've been sedentary and now I'm not. And it's frustrating. I slept 10 hours the other night and was a ZOMBIE at work the next day because I could have slept another 10. I just have to get used to…

I just finished reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. It was a great book, but the ending made me mad. Now I'm reading Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs. Phew! What a mouthful!

Oh my... this sounds amazing! And I *love* banana pudding. Thanks for posting!

Welcome to MFP from a fellow NCer!

Wow! You're absolutely an inspiration to me. Thank you for posting these!!

Congratulations! That's a great start. Keep it up!

Unfortunately, that's not possible. I get measured at Curves and I can't go in before work (they open at 8 - the same time I have to be at work). I have to go to the gym after work now - but I find it's easier to go since I'm already out and about and I have to drive by the gym to get home anyways. I do weigh after I use…

Fast food isn't the issue - especially if weight loss is *supposed* to be as simple as "calories in, calories out." My point was that it ISN'T that simple for all of us - which is really really discouraging. Especially when you're making a lot of big lifestyle changes in the way that you eat and work out and still see zero…

I've gotten ahold of a Zone meal plan that is all low glycemic stuff, so I'm going to give it a try and see if that helps kickstart some of this.

Thanks guys, the support is helpful. I do need to go to the Dr to get some tips on weight loss + PCOS, but I feel like SOMETHING should be happening. 6 months ago, I ate what I wanted (2200+ calories per day or more) and NEVER worked out. I was totally sedentary. And I maintained my weight. I wasn't gaining more, I was…

I'm a ranch dressing junkie. Are there any good *healthy* recipes that don't sacrifice too much in the taste department?
-
I'm planning to order the DVD set this weekend - it looks so fun! I want to use it at home on the days I don't go to the gym so that I go from working out 3 days a week to 6.

I can personally tell you that the scallops are quite good. As are the crab cakes. The scallops are probably better for your waistline though!

You can do it!!!! As someone who also has a soda addiction, I know how you feel. The caffeine headaches and cravings were TERRIBLE the first week. But I kept it up because I knew I could do it. And you can too!
