I try to find a chain restaurant that offers something similar and base it off of that. I also tend towards estimating high and make sure that I exercise any day that I'm going to eat something that I can't be 100% sure of the calorie count.

I'm in!

Congrats! You look amazing!

My profile pic has my face before/current. I don't have a full body shot uploaded. I started at 340 and I'm at 242 right now.

So going to try this for when I need a cake fix!

chinese buffet...I miss chinese food but I don't trust myself to go into a chinese restaurant.

I will be tracking everything and will stay as close to my calorie goal as possible, but I'm not going to overly stress it. I will have two Thanksgiving dinners since we eat with my family and the in-laws, so I'll just make the best decisions that I can.

1. No 2. No need. I let him have whatever he wanted just to get out of a really horrible situation. 3. I suspected cheating, didn't have it confirmed until later, but it definitely played a part. 4. Not for a second. 5. Yes, as a reminder to never again be that stupid.

I can tell you from experience that it is AMAZING getting into those seats again (or for the first time)! I had a few rides besides coasters that I couldn't fit the seat belts around me and this summer I was able to ride every. single. ride. It was awesome. And my kids were so happy that I could go with them. I had been…

This is awesome.

I felt tired for awhile - maybe as much as 3 weeks(?) - but it will get better. I was a big time diet soda drinker, so I'm pretty sure I had a major caffiene addiction, and it was no fun at all quitting, but I feel so much better since I did.

I'm interested to see what those who are closer to or at goal have to say. I am the same way, waist sits between two rolls. I've went from a size 30w to a size 20/22w but I constantly look like I have muffin top, even when wearing jeans that are too big due to the upper roll on my stomach. :grumble:

Log everything, even if it's not healthy, even if you're over goal, even if you can't find an exact match. Your best guess is better than nothing. Give yourself permission to start slow. An "all or nothing" attitude is just setting yourself up for failure because no one can be perfect with eating/exercise all the time.…

You can add me. I started with 200 to lose.

I definitely have this, although it's a LOT better at 247 than it was at 340. I'm hoping that it will get a lot better after another 50-60 pounds.

Anyone can add me. I log daily. :)

Friend request sent! :)

I started at 340 and it killed me to walk for 20 minutes at 2 mph. Tonight I with my kids in our downtown area for "witches walk" (trick or treating at downtown businesses) and then came home and got on my treadmill for 30 minutes of couch to 5K. Last year, my feet ached and I would have had sore ankles the next day after…

I used to get upset about how long it would take me to lose all the weight that I need to lose. Ideally, I need to lose at least 200 total, and that will only get me to the very top of the healthy BMI range. I finally realized that time moves on whether I'm working towards my goals or not. I could've kept wasting time…

I will never manager to wear the same thing every time, naked is consistent. Also, if I have on clothes, I will easily convince myself that *I* didn't gain, I just have on heavier clothes today.

You are looking great! I have really been enjoying following your blog.

I don't post about my weight on FB and actually only talk about it in real life to people who ask. But when I hit 100 down, I think I'm going to post a simple "ONE HUNDRED" as my FB status and those who know will know what it means. :)

I started at 340 and now I'm down to 250.4. My best advice is to take it SLOW. Yes, losing fast seems impressive, but don't stress if you don't lose that much (or even gain!) one week. It happens. Gains will happen when you don't "deserve" them, but it will all even out over time. I have a hard time looking much past the…

Yes, the tests turn positive after awhile or at least they can, which is why you shouldn't read it after awhile. But if you are really not sure, go to a doctor.

THIS..please let me know where I can find cheesecake for only 250 calories that is more than a bite! LOL

Awesome job!

Saving for later

I went on a 6 mile hike yesterday. There is no way I could've done that 89 pounds ago.

You can add me. I have two kids, ages 9 and 7, and I've been on here for almost a year.

Awesome! It's a great feeling isn't it?
