I'm so glad I posted this!! I have so many new friends now!! This makes me feel so much better. Thanks for the inspiration everyone!

Thanks everyone! I sent out some friend requests, I'm looking forward to seeing what you eat during the day, to give me new ideas so I don't get bored and quit. My first goal is to make it to onederland then i'd like to hit 160lbs as my end goal. 70 lbs seems like so much to lose, so I'm going to need all the motivation…

I may be the closest!! Binghamton!! :) Feel free to add me. I am quite far from my gial as I just started MFP 35 days ago but I am doing great on here!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'll be sure to post my next noticeable change :)

Thanks! I usually don't like to shop, especially for dress pants, but i'll be excited to once they are falling off :)

My suggestion would be to eat a little bit of everything, just take much smaller portions then you usually would. I have some family who make snark remarks when I don't eat the amount that I usually do but I just tell them- My stomach is off and I don't feel well. That usually backs them off. Usually I feel just fine…

Please don't do this. My girlfriend wen't on a juice diet and ended up in the hospital, she also went into kidney failure because of it, your body can only take in so much when it comes to an excess of vitamins and minerals. I really encourage you to calorie count, exersize and work on weight loss slowly to ensure that you…

My boyfriend decided to join myfitnesspal with me! He set up his own account on here and has been motivating me all along. We have a calender hanging up in the kitchen, and we log our weights on it and we make small goals for ourselves. He will text me during the day to tell me how many calories he has left for the day and…

Eat 6 times a day. This will help you to stay full all day long and it will trick your mind into thinking that you are snacking. This is called grazing, and it is something that everyone should do. Eating small, healthy meals all day long will keep your metabolism running strong and won't allow your body time to feel…

Wow!! Amazing!! You deserve a HUGE pat on the back!! Keep up the great work, you'll be at your goal weight in no time!!

Zumba and running.

I am going to dress up as "A christmas stories" leg lamp this year and I would like to look hot in it. CW: 212.5 GW: 200!!! http://www.target.com/p/women-s-a-christmas-story-leg-lamp-costume-one-size-fits-most/-/A-13669558?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=%7C13669558&CPNG=toys&ci_sku=13669558&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=

Protein -> eat more of it. Also, Complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat pasta, potatoes and green leafy veggies. These are super foods that will give you long lasting energy throughout the day. Drink lots of water and just stay focused on your goal. Make small goals for yourself...such as, lose 10 lbs first. Don't think…

Don't worry about going over on some things. You have to eat how your body needs to eat. For example... I have ADHD, and in order for my brain to produce enough Dopamine for me to concentrate throughout the day and focus on tasks, I need almost double the amount of protein in a day then most people. You have to experiment…

Eat all day long. I know it sounds weird but I eat at 7:00, 10:00, 12:30, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00. If you eat small amounts throughout the day you don't have time to get hungry. These meals will be much smaller, for example... 1 cup of raw broccoli and a light dip. then 3 hard boiled egg wites, then a half of a sub, then…

WONDERFUL IDEA! This may help me out a ton! I'm going to give it a try. Thanks :)

Oh thank you all so much! I like the idea of going for a walk when I get these feelings, instead of grabbing a snack. I looooove to walk so it shouldn't be a problem once I start getting in the habbit. I will 100% check out that show "supersize vs. Superskinny". It sounds like something I would really like. You all are…

I keep a picture of my friend who lost 80 lbs. on my fridge :)

Thank you so much for writing this! I am going to use your sticky note trick! I want to agree with you about the dancing thing... when my boyfriend leaves to go golfing I turn on my ipod, turn the lights off and dance in my livingroom with my dogs. After I'm done, I am so sweaty and out of breath so I know I've lost a ton…

Thank you for responding! I know my portion sizes have always been too big. My fitness pal is helping so much but I need to use it. I forget, or get lazy. When I use it, I lose weight, and when I stop using it, I gain the weight back. I need easy tips to keep focused and stay with it :)
