Well I hope that he really didn't phrase it like that! At least now maybe you can try some new healthy things!

Making time is very important, have a great time on your date!! I think I have to get over my resolve of him not understaning a lot of what I'm going through. He's that type of guy that has lost over 100 pounds just in 1 summer by changing a few things. Now he's put a lot back on and weighs almost what I did before I…

Thank you for the advice. It's kind of hard when the family depends on me to be ready at a drop of a hat to do something, it ruins my plans for the day. And I think having control is the best thing for a diet, so losing that is so upsetting. I'd also love to plan ahead for all of my eating, but a lot of the time…

Tell him that in order to get that new Victoria's Secret outfit you need to have better food options :wink:

:happy: Welcome everyone! Thanks for doing this with me! Long story short I had to stay in a hotel last night, and low and behold they don't have a scale in that room. So I'll have a weight to record tomorrow. (It's going to be higher since I've been suuuuuuper busy). Just more motivation for me now!!!! Again, I'll post…

Thank you for the loyalty :laugh:

Great! Check back in tomorrow and post! :happy:

You drop the last 20 pounds with LOOOOOOTS of patience. It's notlike the beginning of the weight loss journey, you pretty much have to re-write the rule book.

He probably thinks he's being funny :noway:

If you were obese that wouldn't be much of a problem, but just from looking at your profile pic I'm guessing the 10-15 pounds is probably the last weight you want to lose? And those pounds don't budge as easily than those starting a long journey. From now until December I think you could lose 5-10, again that's just from…

I'm totally dressing up for halloween! My halloween outfit has been my goal outfit for the last couple months to drop ten pounds I'm dang close!! Going bar hopping!!

The icing on the cake was for sure the old date on the doughnuts!!! Even if you're not overweight you might just get sick from such old products, so so sad.... Thanks for sharing!

Haha im loving your daily rants!!! There was a lady next to me one time asking about a "diet milkshake". Really?! It's a millkshake you HAVE to know it's going to be a lot of calories! That's what makes it so dang good!

^^^ I agree. Don't try and start too much too fast, you'll get really discouraged! And find things that work for you! I've dropped a good amount of weight, and I'm STILL not a runner. I found that I love to walk though! And just be really conscious about your food choices. If you can change things, you'll see those first…

haha yes it is 17 pounds. I didn't feel like writing "two 3.5 pounds each ankle weights" lol. Maybe I should've written "total". Yeah, I looked on the MFP lists and nothing is really close, I suppose people use their HRMs or something to be more accurate. And I did google it and nothing has a definite answer. Think the…

I work out about 6 days a week, and normally shower every other day. To avoid as much sweat I can I use a cloth head headband, seems to absorb some sweat and I just throw it in the wash once a week :smile: I also try and get as much hair off the nape of my neck as possible. Usually in a high bun.

Surprised you didnt get slapped! lol.:laugh:

What's your exercise like? If you up that (or change it up) your body will most likely respond and start craving fuel.

This must mean that chocolate mousse cake makes the weight fall right off! :laugh:

Im sure your neighbors thought you were just the best! :happy:

Also, DO NOT go to the grocery store while you're even remotely hungry. (If you can) go during the day when you normally have the most self control (for me it's mornings because im so focused). Try and steer clear of even tempting aisles, and once you grab that pack of cookies look at the calorie count and equate how much…

On a G rated note: my legs. Looking back at pics I had NO idea they were that big!!!! My aunt and I are very similar in appearance and I can tell she puts on her weight in her legs a lot like I do. Not so much in the stomach, thats always the same i guess. On a PG note: my rear end. Started to be able to fit into chairs…

^^^^ This is my ultimate goal!! When I reach my goal weight I'm going to try and set it up with a photphragher friend to get some shots! Still have about 15-20 pounds to go... but cant wait to have that tangbible proof that I worked so hard and to have it for me. And I dont necessarily reward myself with clothes, but i do…

Had to publicly weigh in for a gym class at my new high school. When I saw "300" on the scale I wanted to die, in my head I would never be accepted like that. Knew that I would never have a date to any important dances or fall in love with the right guy. My self esteem was absolute zero. I was doomed unless i made an…

All the advice on here is great, so take it into consideration first. Here's the deal... if you go down to that 500 a day you will see "results" for awhile. Long story short, it won't last and you'll have to work a lot to get back to what you should be eating. So not a good idea (trust me). And the most important thing to…

:drinker: i used to be a binge Diet Coke drinker, would easily go through 3 of the largest sizes from gas stations and still have cans when I got home (and this was even when I had lost a good amount). I never really saw a huge change in my weight by drinking that much BUT I didn't feel good when I did as i do now. I drink…

:laugh: ^ yes! Boys want other boys toys! Then when the toy is by itself it's not longer wanted. (in a strictly toy sense of course...)

:smile: I'm not an expert, and you'll find MUCH better posts than mine, but here's my experience: You'll find that through diet you'll have a lot of that flab, but it's the exercising that can make most of it go away. So even if you're losing quicking, if you incorporate a fair amount of ab work in there you wont have TOO…

WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER!!! Did I mention water? lol. Try and drink a FULL glass of water before and during your meals! And not to be pessimistic, but you're on a diet, so you're going to be hungry more often. Your body is intentionally living off a smaller amount.

I (from experience) have had a hit and miss with goal clothes. Maybe it's because of my height, but I have to lose about 25 pounds to even go down a pants size, SOMETIMES. Sometimes I lose it all from my top (which is happening the most now), so im still wearing the same pants size. Don't get me wrong, that doesnt mean I…
