Good to hear. Good luck!

Had a bad weekend, went out to eat 3 times and didn't bother making the right choices. Today is a new day and I'm back on the program but you know what I'm feeling? Looking at this as falling off the wagon which is typically an addiction term is kinda the wrong way to think about it. We are changing our lives for the…

Wow I went through this this week and the 3 lbs I gaind back really smacked me with reality. Guessed we have to keep moving forward no matter what. Loved the idea of fat pictures in a bathing suit. Thanks for posting its always great to find out you are not alone in thinking/feeling something.

I get the same way. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this post. I was justing thinking about the bad weekend. This was my first one that was really like the old me but I was already looking forward to the treadmill time this afternoon so I guess I'm on the right track. Thanks again.

That's soooo great I can't wait to get there myself. I agree buy yourself a present!

Isn't it a great feeling. Congrats!!!!!!

Find a Runner's store and they will check you out a recommend the best shoes for you.

Once a week at the doctors office wearing the same clothes each time.

Thats soo great. On Friday I bought a 5x shirt. I have been wearing 6x for the last ten years so I know exactly how you feel. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!

Dang that sounds good.

Well as of weight in today I've lost 20 lbs. in the month since I have been on MFP. Now I know some will say I am losing too fast but given that I have completely turned my life around in the last month and changed everything my doctor is very pleased with my current weight lose. At the end of January my wife had an affair…

I have really found that in the month that I've been here that its ok to allow yourself to check one in a while. Just be carefull of the portions and don't let it become a habit too many times. And on the plus side the cheats taste so much better when you only get them once in a while. Had pizza from Roundtable last night…

Talk to your doctor about your weight loss plans and they can either recommend a nutritionist or a goal of calories. As Myastyme says the calories need to be full of nutrition. I'm on about 1500 a day and I try to eat that from fruits, low fat dairy and lean meats like turkey or chicken. Eat smaller meals more often. Carry…

Skinny Cow Rocks!!

Its soo true. Its easy to know what to do and hard to do it. The most important thing I got from the article was abolut support. My kids have been supporting me and its made all the difference in the world.

Get rid of the diet soda and try Lipton Diet Green tea. Good flavor and lower sodium than most diets. Stick to the gym as much as possible. Lettuce at lease once a day. Water, water, water! And keep a good attitude and focus on your dreams! And its ok to have a trat once a while just watch the portions and make it worth it!

Welcome. I can tell you this place is great for helping keep on track but you have to work. Track all your food and try to work out whenever possible. I am hugely over weight and like you I'm starting life over. So far I'm down almost 13 pounds and loving life. We ou get down or frustrated turn to this place as your…

I don't know if you will see this as the same but my wife left me and our 2 children for another man. Working out has been my salvation. Its gets my mind off everything else in my life. I am still working on my goals but everytim I'm tempted to get down and feel hopeless I try t do something physical to get my mind off it…

Congrats that is soo great!

Welcome. Changing your life is never easy but definitely worth it. All the best on your journey.

Family can be the cruelist of all the people in our lives. Remember you are doing this for you and keep that in your heart!

Congrats that is amazing

Well actaully, talk to your doctor. My profile gives me 3000 with out exorcise but my doc told me to be on 1500 + working out for the near future. Your doctor will always know best but you can use the reports here to show the doc what you are eating and he/she can then make recommendations.

I've switched from sandwiches to salads at lunch, just wanting my calories and food and exercising in general and I've lost 8 lbs since joining MFP. I am totally excited right now!!!!

I know the feeling. Totally blew my calories with juice. Only thing I wanted. Colds suck!

All I can say about your on and off situation is communicate. My wife and I didn't and she ended up finding someone else and walking out on myself and our kids.

Good luck on your working towards goal weight and you upcoming wedding.

Welcome! I've recently learned that the human spirit is an amazing thing. Believe in yourself and you can do it.

Thanks. I saw on one post that a woman comes here instead of snacking so thats that kind of thing I could get addicted too.
