Oh add me too

April 29, 2016 for me! I have 44lbs to lose for the big day. Completely doable, but it'll take a lot of work. I'd love to connect with people and help motivate each other.

SW - 160lbs CW - 152lbs GW - 125lbs Christmas plus major illness gave me a big set back in December

And eat a lot of fruits and veggies right now! Drink tons of orange juice, eat oranges, green peppers, bananas, apples. Anything loaded with vitamins, it will help you recover faster.

Not a doctor, but I get bronchitis with some regularity and I can still function ok, just cough a lot. The fact that you're so weak is worrisome. Has your doctor got you anything to help clear it up? I use inhalers and find that they clear out the fluid pretty quickly. If you're that weak you may already have pneumonia. I…

I prefer blue diamond almond milk. I generally don't drink a lot of it, but it goes in my coffee and cereal and it's really light and tasty. I get the unsweetened original, and it's only 40 calories for an 8oz glass.

Took a quick peek at your diary. It's the prepackaged food that's hurting your sodium. If it's a frozen store bought meal, it's gonna have more sodium than you need. Sodium is a preservative, so it makes those things last forever. But they put so much in that it's craziness. Fresh is always better. Fresh chicken, fresh…

Coffee is FINE, of course in moderation. It's good you recognise the creamer and sugar is your problem. I use blue diamond unsweetened original almond milk in my coffee. It is a nice, light, natural taste. Also, once you cut the sugar you'll love the bitterness of coffee and HATE sweet coffee.

Eggs Kraft Dinner Ketchup I will eat almost anything else but those things. So gross

JWOWW (shush) from Jersey Shore. Minus the fake boobs. But she's fit and trim and has a great body.

Don't do the same exercises all the time. Make sure you mix it up. Once your body gets use to the same workout, it's not nearly as effective anymore.

Women's sizes are such a pain. They are never the same or accurate. I have a pair of 12's that are TIGHT and a pair of 10s that almost fall off they are so loose. So I'm a 10-12 right now :P I'm 5'6" and 152 as of this morning!

I have a rice cooker/steamer combo and love it. I steam all sorts of veggies, and I love that they come out cooked, but crisp still. They retain so much flavour too! I just put any veggies I have laying out in it. Works best for me that way.

OMG you look like a totally different person!

Don't give up because the going gets tough. That's how people ruin all their hard work. Make it a part of your daily routine, no excuses!

HMonsterX has it right on the money. The only reason I don't count my coffee towards my 8 glasses is because by the end of the day I want to drink at least 8, and the easiest way is drinking straight water.

Carbs are for energy, fat is for healthy skin and coat (ok, a bit joking). Most fat is good for digestion and basically keeping you from drying out. It helps you poop, basically. If you aren't having problems in having enough energy for your daily life, and you aren't constipated, you're fine being under in those. If you…

I've always struggled with my weight, but when I was 20 years old I lost a bunch and kept it off until this year. I was fit, slim, and looked awesome. Gotta get back to where I was, I felt so good. I'm my own motivation

I work retail and this weather is no good for Christmas shoppers. The more snow the more people realize Christmas is coming and buy buy buy. Now we're gonna be stuck with last minute panic 3 days before Xmas. Gonna suuuuck

Nope. It's christmas. I'm gonna eat super well and low cal for a few days before, and then zig zag on christmas :P

I like shopping at winners. Not as cheap as value village, but if you like new stuff for a fraction of the price, it's a good place to shop.

Another Ontario gal here, from the Hammer. We're getting 10 degrees today and rain! Christmas this year shall not be white.

So much agree! It is delicious, light, healthy, and it is amazing. I find dairy makes me break out, and this is a great alternative for me.

Muffins are surprisingly bad for you though

Man these are all great ideas. I'm definitely going to grab some low fat plain yogurt and nuts on my next grocery run, but keep the ideas coming!

Deep green veggies and red meat, and a multi-vitamin and suppliments if need be.

I totally agree. I just went back over my diary the past few weeks and most of my sugar is coming from the fruit and veggies I eat. The rest is, as I said, my cereal. I need to find a new breakfast option, but I love it so much!

I just took a peek at your diary. Too much soda, juice, and prepackaged meals! Soda is a big no no! Even diet is so bad for you. I stopped drinking soda drinks in high school and there is a withdrawl period. Give it two weeks and you wont even want the junk anymore. My boyfriend stopped drinking it when we joined MFP and…
