You give me hope for myself!

Seriously amazing job!! I feel I need constant motivation and you just have me mine for the day!

You are all so awesome!! Thanks for the advice!! I actually tried some of what others are talking about this morning. I have a friend who is loosing like a champ and she is busting her butt! I talked to her about the feelings I get and she also gave me some good advice. I asked if I could join her daily walk, because it…

Thank you all for your replies. As for the first responder: I fear you judge me a little too harshly. No, I do not struggle with jealousy of other things. As I said above, it is a feeling that I get just from time to time dealing with this site alone. I acknoledge it is a small jealousy problem and that it is not a good…

That is a really good idea. I need to make a trip to the store! I know sometimes people add ice or almond milk to smoothies like that, do you think that would help make them better?

Thank you so much for all of the advice y'all!! I'm definitely going to spend some time researching tonight! MFP is such a great community!!

Thank you so much for the advice and for replying back. I'm doing some Internet research so hopefully I'll understand more soon! :)

How does he do with veggies,Tiff?? There are quite a few that are high in protien and can be calorie boosters too. As well as some different type of beans. Does he try different things at least or does he just automatically say "Nope, don't like it." I have that problem with Evan. He doesn't like anything cold, sandwiches,…

Wow! You seriously look FANTASTIC!!! You have to be so proud of yourself! Keep pushing and you will see the results you want! Any tips for us "beginners"? How long did it take you?

You look FANTASTIC!!! Seriously, you should be so proud!! I'm at 226 myself and am really wanting to get down before my wedding next year. Entries like this really help me believe that I can do it! I second the food question, did you do anything specific or did you just do the food counter, calorie intake deal? Mine seems…

Hey there and welcome! I'm looking to lose about 70 lbs, or I guess closer to 65lbs after my current weight loss. I think you can do it and it is awesome that you have decided to get in shape! Just stick with it and you will reach your goal!! :) Good luck and I'll def be a motivator if you need one!
