My double chin is starting to become a single chin! (lol) and the pouch of fat around my belly is smaller.

I've sent requests to you all, thank you all for your encouraging words and I know, together we'll support eachother! Thanks!! :heart: :flowerforyou:

I'm new here, and don't have any friends...I've lost 35lbs, and I'm 5'7" 285lbs at the moment, was 320.

I find the bulk of my "try something new" meals in skinnytaste.com. Everything I've tried has turned out great, but just remember to chose ingredients that correlate to your calorie count.

What works for me is counting my calories and creating a calorie deficit proporional to my BMI not over eating and stopping eating when I'm full. Eat balanced meals with a good amount of fruits, vegetables, and lots of water. I'm not starving myself at all, just better control over what I eat. I also Walk/jog 60 or so…

I had begun dating someone and he let it slip that I wasn't as pretty as his ex girlfriend was, that I was cute but definitely not as hot or whatever. I got up and left and, told him not to call me again. - There's a reason why people like this don't need to be in your life. If they can't handle you now, while you're…

The Biggest Loser the nutritionist mentioned a healthy alernative to pizza using 1 whole wheat tortilla, 1/3 cup of cheese, 1/4 cup of sauce. You can add vegetables etc, I didn't because I microwaved it. I didn't feel like putting it in the oven because I was hungry and didn't feel like waiting, 1 minute and it was done. I…

I'm 5'7, and I'm working towards my goal, though I'm heavier than you are. SW: 320 CW: 287 GW: 150 or less - Honestly any number under 200 would be a dream for me. Age: 27 I just started MFP, and I love new friends, advice, suggestions. Feel free to add me :)

Girl, you look fabulous. So proud of your accomplishments! :flowerforyou:

Pretty hair & smile :)

I am lactose intolerant, and despite what people say...there's not enough lactaid on the planet that would let me have ice cream, milk or any of it. I get intense pain, the only thing I can have are low lactose cheeses like swiss and only get a stomach ache. I avoid dairy completely. However if you're not going my route of…

pretty hair @kate

I'm 27 and single, I live in New York and I'm always looking for new friends. Add me if you'd like one too! ;]

Stevia, walmart version of truvia. I put it on oatmeal or anything i need a small bit of sugar on it.

Stay positive, keep your head held high and keep trying. I've been there, and it's very discouraging when it seems like everyone but you is succeeding. Be your own person, keep putting yourself out there and something will happen. Keep trying girl. Hang in there! PS - I'd be jealous too.

@Willisda I think you look like Martina McBride, pretty hair ;)

Thank you <3 Mandy

I'm not sure which girl you are in that picture, but all are equally pretty so together I'd say a 9 ;)

Water, water, water...honestly it helps. Also, snack on veggies that take alot of chewing like carrots, celery etc.

You look phenomenal, great job!

I am lactose intolerant so I have no choice but to cut out dairy (lactaid never really worked for me) My body can handle hard cheeses with 0.5 lactose in it, like swiss cheeses or parm if I chose to have it. When I first became lactose intolerant I dropped about 10lbs from cutting dairy out of the picture. If you're…

If you indulge, eat half of whatever you're craving. That way you're satisfy the craving without going overboard and feeling guilty later, that helps me and I know my limits. Ex: Today there was some rolos (left over xmas candy) and they had been calling my name, so I looked and the serving size was 7, so I had 3 or 4. I…

I've been doing egg whites in the morning, a low calorie lunch, and like a lean meat with greens in the evening And when I need a snack, I do 2 100-150 or so calorie or less snacks when I'm hungry which is usually later on in the day. I'm a chunky girl, and I tend to overeat so I've been very careful. When I give into my…

I'm just saying, sometimes it helps and I see hpw bad it is for me and the desire to have it goes away.

I know this sounds crazy, but google whatever you crave and sometimes seeing it makes it go away ( like food porn lol) It really helps me get through the snacking, and when I'm hungry I drink water then find out if I'm hungry or just thirsty.
