I'm adopting this one! " motivation wanes, habits last" good stuff : )

i get caught up in the same problem. you can get really stressed over each and every calorie. sometimes i just search the mfp database and find a recipe that most closely represents what i made and use it. i know i'm close and i save time. same with eating out if i can't find exactly what i had. i just try to get as close…

you were super cute before, but you are gorgeous now!

wow!! what a difference!! keep up the good work!

i need help there too...

this isn't supposed to become an obsession. if a recipe says 6 servings, then put half of it away and then you know you have 3 servings left in front of you. if you eat half of it, you had a serving and a half. guestimate and don't stress so hard about it. go for a walk after and burn off a few random cals

spray it with Pam butter spray (wont make it soggy and tastes good and doesnt add many calories) then sprinkle either garlic salt or parmesan cheese on it! yummmmm now i want popcorn

i have one of those too! lol spell out exactly what you want from him (men need you to be super straight forward. they are incapable of guessing.) take him out of the equation all together. do this for you and set mini goals with mini rewards. (i'm one pound away from scheduling my massage!!) do the heavy lifting yourself.…

looks to me like your taste buds need a reprogramming. spend about a week eating only fruits, veges, lean meats, and whole grains (processed as little as possible, think, brown rice). stock up on these things and show your taste buds what healthy food is. at the end of the week, you will feel amazing. and use that week to…

yes your weight can fluctuate a lot (sometimes like 8lbs) during your cycle. it's water weight. etc etc

everyday! (sometimes more than once a day) only log the losses. don't forget .... it's just a number. not the whole picture.

there is water in almost everything we eat or drink. think about the water content in soup. i count my coffee, my tea (herbal, but i'd count iced tea as well if i drank it). but i drink 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning and i count 1 cup of water. if i drink a diet soda, count a cup of water. other than that, try to drink…

i've heard when you lose weight toxins are coming out of the fat and can make you break out. i've experienced this too but not to the extent you are describing. you may need to change face soap to one meant for acne. the dermatologist should be able to point you in the right direction. good for you on the weight loss…

i'm doing this not only for myself but for them also! i want my kids to eat healthy. i want my husband to eat healthy. cooking a lean protein, a whole grain carb, and a veg for dinner every night is balanced. you can take short cuts and use frozen veggies (and even frozen brown rice!!) to make dinner more quickly. kids…

i have had anxiety over what to say when those compliments start coming to the point that i let it hold me back from starting. like it's almost embarrassing to admit that i needed to lose weight.
