don't step on the scale if it (you) is going to make you give up before you start. Change your mind to getting healthier, making wiser choices. Dieting will make you fail as you have already proved.

great ideas here. I'm having a hard time getting my veggies in

look at other ways to track your success. Take your measurements, do your clothes fit differently, are you having an increase in energy. Stop using the scale for a little while. If you truly are eating less and working out more then you are being successful and the scale is lying to you (and it does sometimes) so ignore…

bump, they look really good.

You need to change your outlook. This is not a diet so you can lose weight..you will fail if you look at it like this. Change your frame of reference to getting healthier (and living to see your grandkids). Losing weight will be a by product, you'll have more energy all of which will keep you motivated. Take it one minute…

amazing. congratulations on your hard work and dedication!!

You have made a great first step. This is the first day of your life and making good choices one decision at a time will get you to your goal. Congratulations on your new relationship.

He can be really insecure about other men/what I wear/me going out and it's starting to take its toll. This is the first time he has outright accused me of being unfaithful though [/quote] I would say this is a little more than being threatened by your trainer. Think long and hard about your relationship, get counseling.…

Only you can decide if getting healthy is worth it. MFP is a great tool if you use it. I hate exercise but I do it anyways, I don't like limiting my food intake but I do it. I like the new me and do not want to go back to where I was. Took me a long time to get to this point but I want it. The question is DO YOU?

I don't count milk but any non caffeine free beverage is added. (or the alcohol I drink)

I had it on my chin and upper lip. Love the results. Feels like getting snapped with a rubber band over and over and not sure I could have done it over a large area, just as I'm reaching my limit for pain she was done. Had mine done 4 years ago I think. and the results are still great. It doesn't get rid of the white hairs…

wow. Way to go. You guy do look like twins!

you look great. Great attitude!!!

Just make sensible choices. Try everything..small amount. You don't have to have "everything" at every meal. You will be walking tons, swimming, take the stairs instead of the elevator. Most of all have fun and deal with your choices (good or bad) after you get back home.

Slow cooker is really easy, but keep making excuses for not trying it. Put it on leave it for x hours and put it in the fridge. most of the recipes taste good as leftovers.

FANTASTIC!!!!! Great job!!!

This is my new favorite. It s fantastic. Very refreshing when the temperature is over 100 degrees

congratulations on your hard work and dedication. I'm soooo looking towards that goal as well.

The fat faries come in the wee hours of the night and magically whisk the weight away. Weight yourself once a week. Moving on. [/quote] thanks, I needed a chuckle right now. Always wondered who I heard prowling around my bedroom when I was trying to sleep.

I have a 7 grain oat mix and 1/3 cup dry is a serving size. I would count this recipe as 3 servings. I always cook it on the stove, (dad taught me this as he made it when I was a kid).

I count anything except my coffee as water. Always make sure its low calories and I dilute it as well.

you can see a difference. Congratulations on your hard work

great job, can't wait until I hit that mark too!

wow you look fantastic. Congratulations on your hard work.

you look great. I cant wait to get below 200.

weight loss surgery and MFP are tools that can help you lose weight. If you don't work at them you will continue to gain back the weight that you lose. I too was going to have the surgery and needed to lose weight first, that's when I discovered that if I can't do it by eating less then I would not do it with the surgery…

Great job on your hard work!!
