I each back all or nearly my exercise calories. I cannot get by on 1300 cals a day, and getting to eat back the cals is incentive to exercise. I started 1/3/12, and I am still losing at least a lb. per week. So, it is working for me. Good luck!

Wow! Wonderful.

You look great!! Congrats. Thanks for sharing.

The comment that bugs me is, "Are you losing weight?". The implication is that I need to lose more. I am sure it isn't intentional, but I don't care for it. I am also amazed how many people ask how many pounds I have lost. I only share that with a few close friends (and MFP), and they have the good sense never to ask. I am…

# 2, without a doubt. 1 and 4 are to "office-y" and 3 is too sporty for a wedding. The are all cute in you, but definitely # 2 for this event.

First thing works best for me. I have a coffee and then exercise. I am too tired after work, and the excuses are too easy then.

Great job! Best of luck with continued success.

I cannot support people who do not track their bowel movements on MyPoopingPal. I mean, really, if you won't tell me how many times you pood today and how long each was (in minutes and inches), I don't think we should be friends. I mean, if you don't even weigh it with a food scale, how can you be accurate??! Do YOU trust…

I would use the same scale you have been using all along.

I've never tried soy milk. No interest in it at all.

Heartburn is no joke! Do what is necessary to avoid it. I wake up at 4, work out at 5, get to the office at 8 and eat my cereal at 9. In between waking up and breakfast, I have two pints of water and a few cups of coffee with half and half or milk. This works for me. I don't have to take my heartburn medication since…

I lost 6 lb. when I spent a week in Rome. The portions are a quarter of what is served in restaurants in the U.S., and I walked for miles every day, sight seeing. I cannot imagine you will gain unless you spend a lot of time on tour busses. Congrats on your upcoming wedding, and enjoy your trip!

Breakfast total raisin bran with banana and milk. Lunch is a giant salad with chicken or avocado. Dinner is fish tacos, steak fajitas or chicken with potato or veg. Sometimes tater tot casserole. Snacks yogurt or rye triscuits.

Right. I would have a good breakfast, a small lunch and a balanced dinner with no processed foods or soda. There was always plenty, the food was always delicious and we could "snack" on toast or drink milk if we wanted something when it wasn't meal time. As an adult, I didn 't bother to make beautiful healthy meals and ate…

Total raisin bran w/ skim milk and banana or strawberries

We do! Thanks for the reminder. Great story. The impact of what we do, whether kind or cruel, is far reaching.

Large salad with mixed greens, mixed berries, pecans, Gorgonzola, grilled chicken breast and balsamic vinaigrette

If a guy wants to talk to you, he will. You don't have to do anything but smile. That is all the encouragement he will need if he is interested.

Blackstrap molasses is also a great source of potassium. I add a teaspoon to plain yogurt. Delish!

Thanks for sharing. You look fantastic! Curious where you are measuring your waist and hips, though. There looks to be way more than a 1" difference in them.

Yes, I weigh meat, fish, cheese, nuts, avocados, chips, every time. I rarely weigh fruit or veg, except potatoes. I measure mayo or peanut butter, the one tablespoon of half and half I have in my first coffee in the morning, and oil.

Fun! I'm in. Thanks. 5/1. Walk 2.6 5/2. Walk 2.4 5/3. Walk 2.9

I really don't know how parents do it with children's sports schedules, but I think I would grab a banana and maybe a glad ware container of cereal and just buy milk at the gas station. Or, I would pack a few cheese slices and triscuits, skipping the gas station all together. Good luck! I am sure you will find a way to…

I recommend a lot more fresh fruits and veg and WATER! And, a few more calories. Good luck! You're doing great so far!

You've been great to her! And, great job on losing 22 lb.! Congrats on both. Never mind her comment about you being "big.". I don't even think she meant it to hurt you. It was thoughtless, but she was ripping on someone else at the time (ex D in L). I like the suggestion to "hear" thank you'd when she says these…

None. Never will have one.

Hi, I checked your diary, and you are only logging half the time! Please give this program a chance and log everything you eat, every day, including your cheat days. What are you eating on those other days? If you log everything, you will probably find out where the problem is. I am 49, and I have lost at least a pound…

Once a week (same scale, same time, same clothes). Record the weight and put the scale away. You cannot gain tons of fat in one week. And, this gives you six days to eat those fruits and one for the granola bar. It is often enough. It can be difficult to wait, but knowing how you react to a daily weigh in, I hope you will…

Way to go! You look fantastic.

Mine are the same.
