Hello! I have used MFP, and low carb diets in the past to drop some weight. I'm back now after a long hiatus, which included having a baby, and dealing w post-partum depression, and ending a 6 year relationship. So I guess you could call this my quest for a revenge body lol

My go-to snacks are hard-boiled eggs, cucumbers and hummus, and cheese sticks.

Thanks!

Same! Feel free to add me. We can keep each other in check!

Add me!

I am currently 207 and a size 16. I have a large frame, and feel like at my most fit, and when i liked my body best, I was around 160.

Thanks guys :) MFP has definitely been paramount to my success so far. Now I'm focusing more of my attention on lifting, and can't wait to lose the last 1/3 of the weight, and tighten up what's left :tongue:

Thanks for inspiring and supporting me every day :)

I have 20ish. Going to get my first on my tummy when I lose another 27 lbs. Figured there was no use getting one there if I'd always be too embarassed to show it!!!

Thanks guys :happy:

I'm on every day. Have been in a slump, and would love some new friends!

Hey guys, feel free to add me. I've been using MFP since the first week in Dec and have lost about 20 lbs. If what you're doing isn't working, don't get discouraged, just try changing it up!

I have a 4 yr old and a 9 mo old. I gained about 50lbs with my 4 yr old, lost about 30, then gained another 50 with my 9 month old, and have lost about 20 of that. It's a struggle every day, but I'm doin it! Any of you momma's feel free to add me!

I have dieted on and off for years, and no matter how much weight I've lost, it's never made a tangible difference in my body the way exercise has! If you're worried about keeping up, get a Biggest Loser dvd. It's easy to keep up with, and has big girls working out, so it makes you feel like if they can I can. If you hate…

Get a Neti Pot! It feels weird at first, but it makes all the difference in cleaning them out!! I work in the medical field and all the doctors I work for highly recommend it.

Welcome :) I started MFP the first week in December and have lost a little over 20lbs. I feel like MFP has made all the difference by making me accountable, and more conscious of what I'm eating. My doctor is so impressed with my progress that she said she may have to join MFP! lol Anyway, add me if you like. I log in…

I love chocolate, too. Mainly baked goods (brownies, cakes). I found VitaCakes in the freezer section, they're little brownies that stay frozen, and you microwave them. They only have 50 calories, and less sugar and more vitamins than an apple! My advice would be NOT to try and cut chocolate out all together. I find if you…

As much as I love whiskey, it's a once in a while type of thing. Bud, on the other hand, is an almost every day thing. Also, in my house, we call it chicken lol Chopped chicken, chicken burritos, going to see the Colonel, etc. Anybody else have funny code names? Also, why is it Buzzkill had to point out that weed is "bad…

First off, congrats on quitting smoking. I smoked a pack a day for nearly 8 years, and know exactly the kind of dedication it takes to give it up. If you can do that, there isn't a doubt in my mind that you can make this lifestyle change, too. If you'd like my support and encourgement, feel free to add me!

I like to scramble some egg whites (some times I throw in some low sodium turkey), when they're almost done, I sprinkle on 2 spoons of salsa, and low fat cheese. Then I roll it up in a flour torilla. It's filling and delicious! During the week when I don't have time for such luxuries I eat apples & cinnamon oatmeal. I can…

I agree that investing in a couple good sports bras is essential! Sounds like you're set on pants, so beyond that, just some tshirts? Hit up a thrift store if you don't wanna spend alot of money. If you want something cuter, go to Target! Personally, I don't like to look dumpy when I'm going to the gym. Obviously its not a…

Feel free to add me dude :)

Raw veggies Apples & cinnamon oatmeal And for when I'm craving something warm and chocolately, Vitacakes Fudgey Chocolate cakes. 50 calories and packed full of vitamins. They come frozen, I nuke it for 20 seconds, and indulge!

I'm not quite there yet, but I've lost 13 lbs in 26 days!!

lol The physicians I work for were just talking about what an idiot he is over lunch today.

I joined MFP almost a month ago. I've been logging every crumb that passes my lips.Its made me so much more aware of portion sizes. I joined a gym and am actually going, I may not run miles and pump iron, but between the gym, Wii Fit Plus, and a couple Jillian Michaels dvds, I'm doing SOMETHING! In my month here, I've lost…

Simple answer; it all comes down to you. You say you're a geek, does that mean that you're into The Walking Dead? I am. And I just have to remind myself of a Daryl Dixon quote 'It's a waste of time, all this hoping and praying.' I've spent enough time sitting around wishing I was in better shape. I'm done being passive,…

In my 3 1/2 weeks on MFP, I've gotten about a 1/4 of the way to my goal, and changed my whole way of life. It's absolutely thanks to the supportive community I've found here. Anyone feel free to add me. I'll be your motivation and help hold you accountable if you'll do the same!!!

I use phone app, too. And I literally log my food while I'm eating. The girls at work always get a good chuckle out of me feverishly logging and scanning the barcodes on my foods lol I also love finishing up my workout at the gym, and ducking into the locker room to log. It's my little ritual. My own personal little "f…

I've had the same running shoes for years (funny how long they last when you don't actually RUN in them lol), so I bought myself a fancy new pair for Christmas, but didn't let myself wear them til I hit 220 (I started early Dec at 230). I'm hoping to hit 210 by Feb 1st, at which time I'm going to buy myself a fitbit. I'd…
