You look amazing. It truly is something to look back and see where we were and then look at ourselves now. Keep up the great work.:happy:

sounds yummy.

Wow! You look great!

Welcome back. I'm sure you can do this. You've done it before so you know where to start.

LOL. I suppose you're right. It actually never dawned on me about being in the 70's. I was just shocked to lose 6 pounds this far into it.:blushing:

WTG! I can't believe you're so close to your original goal. You have been doing exceptionally well. Keep up the good work.

Morning everyone. As you will see below I had an exceptional week and I don't know why but I'll take it. It might be all the fluid I retained while AF was here that went off but whatever it is I'm thrilled:noway: Updating for the week.

I'm Cathy and I'm a food addict. I find myself eating when I'm tired, when I'm stressed, when I don't feel well, etc....I just lean on food to make me feel better. I'm trying to break this pattern and hope to be a much better person for it in the near future. Food is FUEL, not COMFORT.

I think of hummus when I think of chickpeas. I've never had it but several of the others here make it all the time.

WTG! You should be proud of yourself.

Very inspiring. I needed this "kick in the butt" too.

You look great!

I suck this week. I just started my TOM this morning and you know I'm swelled up like a tick.:mad: Updating for the week.

caloriecount.about.com i think that's right.

You all are great! I knew you would make me feel better. I will burn some of those calories off at my second job tonight so I won't be THAT BAD. It's just the fact that I gave in that was "eating" at me. Thanks again for being so supportive.

Thanks.

McDonald's French Fries. I love them and can't have them. If I even get a small package I woof it down and want more. I do eat a portion of baked tater tots from time to time at 160 calories for 10 tots but it's not the same. Most of the time I don't deprive myself but I do have to stay away from McDonald's French…

You have come to the right place to get help. Follow the guidelines MFP gives you and the advice some of the veterans here have and you'll do fine. Look at me, I have been fat all of my life and now I'm on my way to becoming the skinny person I know I can be. Good luck to you.

Congratulations! You're doing great.

Wow! you look fantastic.

I never have to do that. Normally after I've lost 10 pounds it asks me if I want to adjust my calories. I've seen other people post about this too though.

I think it's so great that you are adopting a kitty. I didn't adopt mine but got them from someone that was giving them away and I love them so much. We just had them neutered a couple weeks ago and they're doing great. I hope you hear from the Humane Society soon. I think it's great that you volunteer time too.
