I've just been buying new belts..................

Calorie wise, it's a non-issue. It is an issue if you have health problems related to your sodium intake since there is a lot of that in sodas in general. Also, there are lots of other chemicals & artificial sweeteners that probably not that good for you either, in large quantities. I personally think it's fine in…

Lots of folks on MFP have varying opinions on the subject of eating back your exercise calories. I'm of the school of thought that you should you should feed your body more if you worked out more. I'm not saying you should go out & eat a whole pizza pie after a couple of hours at the gym. But you should have that extra…

You're not logging everyday so I can't tell if you're eating totally terrible on the weekends............on the days you have logged it looks like you're not eating back enough of your exercise calories............it's only been 3 weeks so don't lose heart............stay the course!!!

How much water do you drink a day? I see that you haven't tracked that much either. And you should definitely get a food scale............it has helped me out immensely............

You're back & you know what you have to do. Take control & responsibility for what you're putting in your mouth. Back on the wagon!!!

I'd love to have those kinds of problems................

It's only been a week.............give it more time!!

I'm in!!!

I've definitely noticed a difference at 10lbs down. I'm able to comfortably wear shirts that were pretty tight a month ago. Also, I may have to get a smaller size belt soon. MFP & my friends here have helped a lot.

I eat Lean Cuisines/Healthy Choice frozen entrees 3-4 times a week for lunch, but I usually add a cup of frozen veggies & a homemade turkey burger patty to add fiber/protein to the meal. Just one of those meals just wouldn't cut it for me. It's got a good amount of sodium, but waaayyyyy less than fast food. Good luck!!

DFW!!

When you set up your goals, it's what you expect to do, not what you have done. Therefore you should log in whatever exercises you do everyday so that you get your allotted exercise calories. I'm sure I just made this more confusing.

j4nash is totally correct. Load up on fiber/protein & you just won't be as hungry so quickly. Water helps too!!

Thanks for the info!!

My weight loss goal is still the same but when I recalculate w/ my updated weight, my projected daily calorie count is reduced. That is kind of logical since your calorie intake should drop as you lose weight.

I've been exactly where you are right now & I'll tell ya that you'll start doing it when you're mentally ready to start this journey. It's your burden to bear & only you can make that change cuz no one else is gonna do it for ya. Personally, I gave myself too many excuses not to do something, whether it be happy hour…

You know how they say that a picture speaks a 1000 words? Well over the holidays, I was in a few pics that really opened my eyes. A switch went off in my brain that said that I had to change my lifestyle or else. Whatever the 'or else' was, I really didn't want to find out. I'd like to thanks MFP & all of you guys for…

Be patient or your expectations are gonna burn itself out............this journey is like watchin' a pot of water boil, it happens when it happens when you make the right changes to your lifestyle............just keep doin' what you're doin' & it's gonna be all good...........

You're on your way to losing that weight............there's no rush cuz you'll get there............just be patient =)

Single guy right here!!

Welcome to MFP!!! I live in the DFW area & it's been tricky tryin' to navigate Tex-Mex & BBQ menus...........so far in restaurant situations I've had some success: in tex-mex joints I've mainly ordered fajitas, but I passed on the chips/rice/beans/tortillas.............in BBQ joints, I've had the lean brisket & ribs w/…

I lean more towards the Healthy Choice entrees, when I have to, but I usually add a cup of frozen veggies into the mix & finish it off with an apple or banana............I'm a pretty big eater & that combo really get's me full...............

I'm currently doing kickboxing/muay thai about 3 times a week & thinking about adding brazilian jujitsu to my work out regimen.........this stuff is so fun that it's not like working out at all............

It happens............you just gotta do some independent research on the interweb to verify the item & if it's different, then create the food for your own use..............then share!

What's cheating? When I know that a calorie bomb of a meal is coming along, I make plans to get some exercise in to get more calories so that I can fully enjoy the 'cheat' meal.............also this meal has to be done in moderation as well..............

Give it time.........this journey is more about how much you're willing to put into changing your life............the more you do towards this goal, the better you'll feel & the more encouragement you'll get.............be patient & give this thing a chance...............

I think you gotta give it more time............our bodies lose a lot of weight at the the beginning of the diet but there will be slow patches along the way...........besides, hitting a plateau is wayyyy better than gaining weight.............

Wow! What's your secret??
