Wow so many of you are so talented. I sing. I was invited to sing solo at the United Nations Youth Conference a few years ago in New York. That was a pretty huge accomplishment for me.

I read the book. It was pretty funny and I felt like I got a lot of interesting information out of it.

Wow you look amazing!! :D Keep up the great work!

I think they're both great. I've heard the first option is better for your metabolism but I tend to do the second since at least I'm doing something and it is personally easier for me at the present time.

That's fantastic! I bet that feels so good! :D

I get more pleasure of making an amazing healthy meal at home that I love than "settling" for something healthy when I really want to eat something else on a menu.

Good luck to you! I find that logging my calories each day has also been a real eye opener and has helped me be accountable and keep track of what goes in my mouth. MFP is a great tool to use! Good luck to you!

That is so cool! :D Little things like that feel SO great, don't they?

I agree. Try to find healthier and lesser calorie alternatives to the foods you love! There are plenty of websites that can offer fat free and low fat/low calorie meals that are awesome! Google is your friend!

I have guess-timated as best I could in the past. I am still new at calorie counting and I am doing my best. I can only get better as I go along and I think I am doing well so far. If you want to be more accurate, a lot of restaurants now offer calorie and nutrition information on their websites. You might want to check…

I also drink a lot of water. I'm pretty much constantly drinking water. I definitely drink at LEAST 15-20 8oz glasses a day.

Great work so far! It really does help to have friends and family supporting you along the way. Congratulations on your success so far and keep up the fantastic work!

Very true. One reason I gained so much weight I think is because I kept eating what my husband ate and he's 6'6" and I'm 5'5". Haha.

Hi Querky. The first time I was here I never used the forums or joined in the community and I didn't have much success. This time around, things have been totally different. The people here really are great! Good luck!
