I myself came onto MFP having to lose 90lbs. I don't focus on my entire 90lb goal, I focus on one pound at a time. Old habits I think would kick in if I focused too much on the BIG picture. Yes you have your down days and weeks sometimes (for me usually close to 2 weeks around TOM) But you really have to focus on jacking…

there is not much else to say other than WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW

great work ! and great job at documenting your journey. i found the biggest difference from your before and after side profiles. Wow i even showed my husband and he was amazed at your results !!!

sometimes what i do when i go to a restaurant that is not a chain is i go to a chain restaurant that would be comparable. i usually add a few extra calories to it just to be on the safe side and than you could enter that chain restaurants version or just quick add the calories. beside each meal in your diary it has two…

we have the exact same thinking. i've already done the kid bit. my youngest is now 10 months, so after this it's MMMMMEEEEEE time.

i find that quite amusing since the majority of pics i've seen were underwear,bikini's or short-shorts and sport bras !! how is anyone supposed to see someone's success if it is covered in "work appropriate" wear. yes being nekkid is wrong but isn't this site also to help people to become comfortable in their own skins???…

i hear you. my oldest daughter is 14 now so she kind of minds what she says to me especially if i'm in a mood that i wouldn't handle it properly. but her moment when she realized that i was getting smaller was... i got ready for us to go somewhere where i wanted to look my best and she asked me if i was wearing my…

good for you darlin' hold your head up high, that person (using term VERY loosely) knows squat and can go off and lead his own pityful life elsewhere. Good Luck on the rest of your journey :drinker: (water only) :flowerforyou: keep smilin'

congratulations. c25k is on my list of things to do. i'm wanting to start probably in 2 or 3 weeks.

i'm sorry that you are in such pain. i hope you get somewhere at your gyno appt. but i'll tell you what i do. i drink a lot of water and i started splitting my morning cereal- half is your choice and the other half is a fiber cereal. the one i use in one serving gives you half of your daily requirement in fiber. i usually…

welcome! i find mfp quite easy and so far i've lost over 30lbs. it helps keep me accountable. the message boards i also use quite often- to answer my own curiosities or to give my own comments. i especially love the success stories it helps me to keep going even when i don't think i can

i don't think it's worth a headache for you. i think it's one of those times where you just smile say thank you and move on. other than close friends and fam noone else needs to know or understand your goals . i'm sure they mean well but it's not worth a half hour discussion when they usually can not be swayed to see your…

i think i posted on here before but i just can't get over your amazing muscles ! they are what i want to end up with

great job. only the first of many nsv's to come!!!!

wow you must feel so proud of yourself!! Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey

congratulations and btw jeans and flipflops are the only way to go.... unless it's below freezing of course.:happy:

WAY TO GO !!! hope you get to go cruisin' really soon with the grandkids !! :flowerforyou:

Just because her age says she is an adult doesn't mean that she acts like one! Have you never met anyone that sulks? It is quite sad, I work with a number of them and I feel bad for their s.o.'s. but i do agree with someone's comment that she may be reacting to the threat of the major lifestyle change her husband is making…

that is hilarious :laugh: :laugh: (sorry) i am the same way though when i go to the gym it isn't social hour i go in "pick things up and put things down" lol and then leave. apparantly softly suggest you could go at the same time and do your own things with checking in and saying 'hi' to each other to appease someone or…

same here, i'm thinking it's my sodium. but i'm going to try and mix up my workouts again and hope that kickstarts me again. not that I gave you an answer that you wanted but at least you know you're not the only one. :frown:

great job on pulling through all that you have ! i've seen your posts time and again since i started in january and always have great words to say to everyone. i do have a few words to say to your friends though..... Go take a kick a%$ pic of your friend Zara so we can get a really good look at how far she has come !! Good…

It's only rude if you go about it wrong. I understand where all the other posters are coming from but.... I don't understand why you would have to go out of your way to eat at a meeting when noone else would?!? I'm sure you are not the only one wanting to eat healthy and you are definitely not the only one that would have…

Welcome, you will enjoy this website greatly Don't expect my answers to go into great detail I just follow the basics and learn as I go along from other MFPers. 1) when you exercise that expends calories and takes away energy that your body needs to fuel itself. From what I understand if you don't at least eat some of them…

well definitely HappyBirthday to you!! Congratulations you look wonderful. you might lose a bit more if you change up your workouts?!!? And that is my goal as well to lose all this weight with no pills, diets eetc.... anything extreme i do not want . Just pure unadulterated muscle from blood(not so much) sweat and tears.

you look absolutely beautiful ! i know you are in a little funk right now but you must be so proud of yourself !? If I had your weightloss and muscle definition right now I would be shaking with excitement like a little school girl ! Try and get a balance of working on your outside and your inside. Maybe take a few therapy…

CONGRATULATIONS on losing all that weight, running your first 5k and being a wonderful for your beautiful daughter. That is one thing I am striving for. Good Luck in all future endeavours and accomplishments.

i try and log everything it may not affect calories so much as sugar and sodium levels. The sugar is always the killer for me so now I pretty much limit myself to water ( sometimes with flavor whenever I'm sick of plain water ) and a bit of milk.

all I've got to say is WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

the day is over and in the past now but in what may sound odd at first; Doesn't it feel great that something you used to love and probably have quite often now tastes terrible and you question how could you have ever put that garbage into your body!! It means your body is loving your new lifestyle and won't accept anything…

i'm 5'10" and it took me losing 25-27 lbs before I dropped a size. It really depends where you lose the weight especially for your pants. Don't worry it will happen. I'm down a size almost 2! They fit but are pretty close to falling off me. Darn eh!!
