This is why I love MFP. One minute you're feeling like giving up, then you share your frustrations on MFP, and everyone comes together to help motivate you all over again. Thank you to everyone who replied!!! Your words really did make a difference and I wish you all the best of luck on your journeys as well. :happy:

I've tried both and the Wii Active is much better if you want to get a good workout. The wii fit is more just playing around with a few movements but not enough in my opinion to really do much for you in terms of exercise. The Active is much better at making you sweat and is fun as well. I also recommend the game My…

I know what you mean. I feel awful when I don't exercise but I've realized that sometimes my body just needs to rest and I've just got to relax. Whenever I'm feeling guilty about it I just do something else to get my mind off of it. I'll watch a movie, go to sleep, or if I just have to move I'll turn on some music and…

I do not eat my exercise calories and I lose between 2 to 4 pounds most weeks.

If he doesn't allow you to see your friends that's a whole other issue. I hope he's not controlling. If so you really need to get out of the relationship not only for yourself but for your children. :cry:

Dump that jerk!!! You are right love is not about the physical. He told you straight forward that he is staying with you because he knows you'll be sexy again. He's supposed to stay with you because he LOVES you!!! You deserve way better don't you dare starve yourself to please him. Losing weight is something you do for…

Here's what works for me. Hope it can help someone else :happy: FOOD I have a hard time depriving myself of "yummy food" plus I have a hectic schedule (full time college student & work) so finding time to eat and eat healthy is hard!!! I found what works best for me is to eat oatmeal for breakfast and have only fruit…

Thank you!!! Yes. Definitely take a before picture you won't regret it. It took me forever to find a before picture because I was always so embarrassed that I never let a camera anywhere near me. :cry: I had to search through old photos and I finally found a group picture that included the old me. (That's why it's cropped…

Thank you :bigsmile: Congratulations on your weight loss as well!!! Yes it feels wonderful to not have to go into PLUS SIZE anymore!!! Now I get to wear all the cute clothes on the skinny side :laugh: But I'm still going for that last 20 lbs. Never gonna give up!!!

Great job you look amazing!!! Nice muscle definition :wink:

Why bother changing scales only to make yourself depressed??? And who's to say that you're weight watcher's scales is more accurate. The name brand doesn't necessarily make it more accurate, for all you know it could be completely off. Anyway I would suggest that you continue with the scale that you started with. Even if…

Don't give up!!! Just because you slip up doesn't mean you have to quit!!! We all mess up sometimes but it's those of us who realize it's ok to make mistakes and get back on track that truly succeed. I learned that the hard way after losing thirty pounds and hitting a plateau. I was gonna give up and just "accept myself"…

I have heard that they do. The way it was explained to me is that the taste tricks your body into thinking you're consuming sugar, but then when it actually gets digested your body realizes that there is no sugar. So you continue to crave that sugar and end up over eating/drinking because you're not truly satisfying your…

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad you decided to quit. I hope you inspire others to do the same. :smile:

Do you take roughly these same amounts of steps on a typical day? If so, then I would not add them to your exercise. It is just apart of your daily routine and those calories are already taken into account (MFP asks if you're sedentary, lighlty active etc.) when MFP decides how many calories you should be eating. Hope this…

If you have a wii I recommend buying the game my fitness coach. It's basically your own virtual personal trainer that designs a workout program just for you!!! It's amazing and I feel it provides much better results than Wii Fit. Just my opinion but I hope you decide to give it a try. If so, let me know what you think.…
