Watching what you eat should have NOTHING to do with arbitrary "points." Weight Watchers teaches you some really good habits, and at first it's fun to play the "points" game, but in the long run, don't you want to be in control of watching what you eat? I tried Weight Watchers once, and it worked pretty well, but I think…

I just got back on myfitnesspal because I want to manange my weight gain better and be more conscious about what I am eating during pregnancy. I am in the first week of the 3rd trimester, and I've gained about 20 lbs. My midwife recently warned me to keep my weight gain in check, so that's what I'm doing. I've DEFINITELY…

Congrats! You are beautiful and strong!

You look AWESOME! Don't let negative people get you down. A lot of dorks hide behind the internet, and write things they would NEVER say to your face... it gives them confidence- to be MEAN. Congrats to you!

Woo hoo! Great job!

You don't need a "before" pic! Just delete it! I hate the idea of being photographed in a bikini!

Whoa! You look fantastic! Great job!

This is the story of my life!

I think it's important to always look your best, and if you feel sloppy that's not going to keep you in a positive state of mind. You always need at least 1 pair of dark stretch jeans that fit you.... Leggings always fit, if you go up 10 lbs or down 10 lbs... If you have a great jacket and great shoes, then you don't need…

it sounds like you've answered your own questions... you need to check those carb comfort meals (limit yourself to less than a cup of pasta per meal maybe) and cut out the alcohol. I have the same issues! :-) If you only have 8 lbs to go, I think you need to ask yourself about your goal.... this has to be a way of life-…

Also, try making your food journal public... you'll be more accountable if you know people are looking! :)

Weight loss takes A LONG TIME! Don't be discouraged... you just have to be PATIENT. As long as you're measuring your portions and logging everything you eat, you WILL lose weight. Our bodies want to hang on to every pound... it's a survival instinct. Your body is just going to take some time to know that you aren't…

130-135! You're AT my goal! :-)

i too LOVE my wine... but I think you have to cut it down to 1 glass a day. I'm pretty sure that's the recomended quantity for women. Maybe 2 on Friday or Saturday night? It's so hard! Once i have 1 glass, it's hard to say no to a 2nd!

Glad to know I'm not the only one out there with this issue.... A great man who loves me to death, who just happens to under-weigh.... ha ha. My boyfriend is a huge inspiration to me- I don't think I would be as invested in getting into better shape if I didn't have an "after" inspiration walking along with me eveywhere I…

AMAZING! Well done.

I work at a studio where there are constant treats EVERY afternoon. THE BEST cookies. Today there were candied peanuts. Sometimes it's Spicy asian rice mix stuff. Whatever it is, it's never something I NEED. I work on my feet, and I'm constantly walking by these treats! Sometimes i eat them just because I need a…

RIGHT??? There is NO WAY eating natural fruit is bad for you. No. Way.
