I'm in! I've got about 105 lbs to go. I'm looking forward to getting healthy~!

Same here. After I lose 20 more pounds, I'm getting it cut a liiiittle shorter than usual. Once I lose 60, short hair here I come! I also want to be able to do 100 pushups at a time.

Thank you!

What kind of protein? Is there just like, a jar of protein that you use? Watching this thread for new developments, as I also need less carbs and more protein

I'm also a recovering alcoholic, and my boyfriend tried to get me to quit drinking for years before I finally admitted to myself that I needed to. Even then, it was kind of an "on-my-own" realization. But in between, we did have a lot of fights about it, and there was a lot of animosity between us--plus, I came close to…

I've sent a friend request :)

I estimate, try to find similar products from other restaurants, and log it as well as I can. If I'm way over, oh well! Tomorrow is a new day, and I'll know not to eat whatever terrible thing put me over, next time.

Just sent a friend request to you :) And if anyone wants to add me as a friend, I'm game!

I snickered quite snortily at this.

Oooh, I'm going to participate in this one :D

PC also don't get the pie chart. I don't understand why PC users don't get the same features smartphone users do. I wish they'd fix that, because I'm not planning on getting a smartphone any time soon! :(

My rock bottom came when I was buying some jeans. At my heaviest in the past, I've only ever been up to a size 18, and up to 190 lbs. They started getting a little tight on me, so I'd been wearing elastic-waisted stuff since late spring, so I didn't really notice. But as I tried on pants, I found out that I wasn't just a…

Beans (the bag kind, not the can kind, unless you're not worried about sodium) and brown rice with salsa and/or a few ounces of chicken breast. You can make four servings at a time and put them in little storage containers, then microwave them at lunchtime. They're filling and tasty!

Yep. they've got a few different kinds. If you go to walmart(dot)com and search for whey protein, you'll see 'em :)

I'd like to be friends! I've got about a hundred pounds to lose - I'm also 220 now, and I'm aiming for 115-120 (I'm 5'1"). I've lost a few pounds so far, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work out and eat healthier. I try to swim 5-6 days a week, and pretty soon I'm going to start some strength training :) Edit: If…

Try switching to turkey! Lean ground turkey instead of ground beef, sliced turkey breast instead of roast beef or ham, turkey bacon instead of regular bacon (it also comes in a lower-sodium version). Less calories and less fat, but fill you up the same as the other meats :) Fish is also good - I eat albacore tuna with…

I track everything, especially since I'm just getting back into it. I have to watch my sodium, and lots of spices and diet sodas and almost zero calorie things like mustard and pickles all have sneaky sodium in them. I've also found out that some spices have potassium in them, which is something I struggle to get enough…

But that doesn't give an actual number, just a graph. Maybe it used to, and it's since changed. Is there a way to show, in number form, the weekly calorie deficit?

I've found two large tumblers whose designs make me happy to look at, and they hold about three cups of water. I keep gallon jugs of water in the fridge and leave my empty cup beside it, so that when i go into the kitchen, I see the cup and want to drink out of it. It is helping so far!

I LOVE swimming. I just found the public pool in my town this week, and I'm trying to go at least 5 times a week, even though for now the only swimsuit I have (that will fit me) is my sister's old maternity one :embarassed: I'm hoping I'll be able to fit into a smaller size by the end of the summer :D
