You have dark hair

I'm the complete opposite. I weigh myself every monday. And that's it. I can't live by what the scale says. I think for me its about me living healthy and feeling better about myself.-not just losing weight. So if I'm constantly needing the acceptance of the scale-then in turn my attention has gone to the amount loss, not…

Thankyou! :)

And wake up to the facts? I understand completely that I should eat more calories. But if everytime I eat a large portion of something, I feel sick, then what am I to do? I am not about to make myself feel sick. No thanks. And the fact that during the day I get so busy that I can go 4 or 5 hours and realize I haven't eaten…

When I first signed up for MFP I was at a 1200 cal/day (2 pound loss a week). But my mom convinced me to raise it to more than that because when I plateau I won't have anywhere to go. So I did. And now I'm having a hard time making the minimum. And please, don't say I have an eating disorder. If I do, as you say, then what…

I actually already have a doctors appointment scheduled for something else, but I will be sure to mention this to her. I actually didn't think about saying anything about this to her. Thanks for the tip :)

Oh, and I don't have an eating disorder. I just have no hunger! Trust me-I normally love to eat (hence why I weigh 190 pounds) but these past few days I have had no appetie whatsoever, and if I do eat something, I get full very quickly.....

So do you suggest I make myself eat, despite the fact that I'm not hungry? In all seriousness, that is my concern. I'm not hungry-so I don't eat. So to maintain the healthy limit-I should make myself eat? And if so, how do you suggest doing that?

Thank you for your advice. It's not that I'm choosing not to eat. It's just the fact that I'm literally not hungry. So my question is-do I force myself to eat, because it's healthy? I understand that I need to consume calories to have energy, and that it is unhealthy to go under 1200 cals a day. So why am I all the sudden…

Thank you for the tips! I do love to play "Just Dance" with my friends, and let me tell you-that is a great workout! And it's fun! lol

That is how much I need to lose. I've already lost 5...Thanks for the success story! Congrats on your accomplishment :)

Five Guys is the best!!

Carry a water bottle with you. I bought one at Wal-Mart and it's 36 oz. So I know if I drink two full water bottles in a day-then I got my daily water in. Carry it with you wherever you go......it really does help.

You are right! I ate extremely poor yesterday. I had chinese for lunch (bad!), but I was just "in one of those moods" that I really didn't care! lol. I also didn't think about the fact that I was going to weigh in today...oops! And I have about 50 (ish) pounds to lose. I know I want to lose 50, but once I get there I will…

And at that point you turn around, lose the weight, and then come back laughing! You can do it girl. There's not a better feeling than the feeling of proving someone wrong! Go out there and show her you CAN and WILL lose the weight!! Keep your head up:)

That's my goal date too for my first 30 pounds! I would love to join you!! Power in numbers!! :)

Thanks for all the great tips!

I ended up having a portion of rice (about the size of my palm) with some broccolli, peppers, and crab meat. then they cooked it on the hibacchi grill..i really don't think it was all that healthy. but hey! today was my splurge day...lol

You look great!! Makes me want to work harder! lol. Keep up the great work:)

I loooooove cuccumbers! and celery, and broccoli! lol (like them all raw) my favorite fruit is banana. and strawberries....mmmmm!

I love hot air popcorn! My mom really likes the ranch that you can put on it. It comes in a shaker.

I totally agree! In fact, I'm eating a chocolate chip cookie right now, but that's only because I worked my booty off in my workout this morning! :) I also have cut out all soft drinks and have noticed a big difference. I even seem to have more energy. I don't feel as weighed down. One snack I love to eat are peanuts. They…

Okay, thank you! :smile:

Correction, it's 280 I still need for the day! lol. I am currently sitting at 1232 cals for the entire day.

hahah. food porn. I will have to try that sometime! lol

Thank you for the advice!!

I am at a 2 pound/week goal also. Maybe tomorrow I will change to 1 pound. Thanks for the great tip! :)

Thank you. My biggest thing is late at night when all I want to do is snack. Tonight I had a handful of special K chocolately delight, and it seemed to really "hit the spot".

I made my diary public for those of you that wanted to check it out! :)

That is literally all I have drank for 4 days straight! lol
