Update: 4 months in and 47 lbs down now! Over halfway to my goal, and literally less than a pound away from "one"derland... a number I haven't seen in about 12 years!

Physically I'm drawn to the big tall burley men with facial hair and tattoos.... but personality wins over anything. I need someone who can take and dish out jokes, and who can go with the flow and have a good time

Dating in your 30's is fun and difficult all at the same time. In your 30's you know what you want, but it can be hard to meet people sometimes since most people are married and have kids (at least most of my friends are). I've done a lot of online dating which can be fun, but sometimes it's hard to meet genuine people…

Sometimes I think it's just people fishing for a compliment (which annoys the crap outta me), but I agree there are many people who completely lack confidence on here. Just because you are carrying some extra weight doesn't mean you aren't beautiful, or attractive. I know I still have weight to lose, but that doesn't mean…

I've been having problems sticking to plan lately too.... the last few weeks it's been at least one cheat a week (even if small) where as the first almost 2 months I never cheated. I just keep trying to remind myself of why I started, and that every cheat, however little, will set me back that much further. And that once I…

Good job on the running Meg! :happy:

I'm in! SW: 248 CW: 223

I just had a meltdown and ate a couple (ok....7) hersheys special dark mini bars. First major meltdown in 6 weeks. :sad: I guess it could have been worse......... just a little disappointed in myself. I made it through Easter weekend without cheating, or eating any candy, also avoided beer while camping with my…

I'm in! I'm currenly around 223 and would like to be at 210 (or less!) by the end of April

You and me both! I'll always have to watch what I'm eating, and make smart choices. Sometimes it's a crappy realization, but it's reality none the less. I just know I'll feel better (mentally and physically) if I get this weight off, and I'm finally doing it!

Feel free to add me..... I can always use motivational friends! :happy:

What I mean by "diet" being a dirty 4 letter word is that you can't just go on a diet, lose the weight, and then go off the diet and expect to not gain the weight back. This journey for me truely is a lifestyle change, NOT a diet. Diets don't last forever, but lifestyle changes do. :smile: Congrats on your weight loss and…

Good for you for not gorging yourself! Sometimes, all it takes is a bite or two to get it out of your head. Luckily for me, my company is small and the lady I work with is a complete health nut, so I don't have to worry....... but family functions and friend get togethers are a WHOLE other story. lol It takes some serious…

Seriously! Everywhere I go, no matter who I'm with, everytime they have something that they think I can't have, they apologize! SO tired of it. Or tired of hearing "I don't want to eat in front of you". It's something I've obviously got to get used to. I mean don't get me wrong, its awesome when friends are having get…

Hellooooooooo ladies (and gent)! I just skimmed through a few pages of your thread and thought I'd pop in and say hi. I've been using MFP for a while now, but you know how it goes.... log on for a day or two then fall off the wagon. I am FINALLY serious about my health and losing weight, so I've been on here pretty much…

I recently discovered PB2 - a dehydrated peanut butter. It's seriously amazing in your shakes, you can make a thai peanut type sauce with it, I add it to my Medifast brownies.... the possibilities are endless! And it's only 45 calories for 2 TB.

Hi there! I'm Tiffany and joined MFP quite a while ago, but haven't been super active up until recently. I've begun a true health journey about 5 weeks ago (and am proud to say I've already lost 23 lbs!), and have begun to realize it's much easier when you have support from people who are doing things for their health as…
-
Me too! I am on here pretty much every day logging in my stuff, but I find it helpful when I can relate to other people going through the same thing! My initial goal was 85 lbs...... I'm 5 weeks in and 23lbs down! Woot!
-
This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about! I've got the personality, the pretty face, now it's just time to get the hot body and no longer be known as the "bigger girl thats fun to hangout with"!

I've 5 weeks in and have lost 23lbs!

Try to balance your protein and carbs in every meal, eat several small meals throughout the day, and keep the sugar count down! :smile:

I took some "for my eyes only" before pics (sans clothes).... everytime my feelings are out of control and I feel like I'm going to binge, I just take a look at those pics and that usually snaps me out of it! Just reminds me of my goals and what I'm working towards, and suddenly that big fat cheeseburger that I was craving…
