Thanx u guyz... really cheered me up.. it helps to know there r people who have the same problem and its not just me.. i mean in my family im the only (overweight) sister.. and they never really understand what im talking about!!! they're all like ya i eat a bite of sth and im full.. or i can never finish a bar of…

well i weigh 183.6 and my goal weight is 132 lb. my height is 5.25 ft .... and my fat % is actually 41%.. which can't be good at all... i usually take 1200 calories per day, mainly in 5 meals.. 50% carbs.. my nutritionist (soon to be x-nutritionist) adds about 2 sweet snacks per week.. like a small piece of cake ,…

thx lil monita ! :D ya i think im gonna switch to another nutritionist... she's just frustrating me to the point that i was thinking of giving up... well exercise isnt my biggest point though.. i exercise about 3 times a week for 45 minutes... i barely have time between work and studying.. :embarassed: i guess i shud try…

i agree, proteins r extremely important.. i prefer white cheese but whatever works for u is also good.. :smile: good luck

great thanx for the tips :) i love the tip about adding movements and little exercises with ur daily activities.. really something to think about ....

that's so great! keep going :smile: MFP is truly great...:flowerforyou: Congratulations!

I usually just boil 2/3 cup of oats in a cup of milk with 2 tsp of splenda or sweet n low! and it tastes good to me!! :laugh: thats as easy as it gets

hot weather makes it hot to eat.. but easier to reach for ice cream, and iced smoothies and stuff like that!!! still i only had a mango smoothie last week.. but that's it... self control :laugh: :drinker: maybe hot weather is good for extra water drinking.. i suppose!

good luck!! :smile: ur plans sounds solid.. and everytime im in a gathering with friends.. i just remember that i enjoy eating whatever i am today and laugh it out and all and then im stuck with the extra weight.. so its really not worth it.. the brownie is gonna last 5 minutes tops.. and then ur gonna think i wish i didnt…

these r pretty good and pretty light ...:smile: vanilla crisps 2 separated eggs, separated 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1/3 cup all-purpose flour confectioners' sugar Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with…

but we can do it!!! :drinker: it feels good to look good.. honest..

it's easy to believe in urself when ur in a good mood.. and feeling energetic... but its not that easy when ur stressed, tired, depressed and feel like a whole lot of food would just make u feel better and who cares about tomorrow... which is when its most important to remember... "it's more stressful to continue being fat…

all i know is we can do it!!! :smile:

:happy: i totally agree with u... everytime i think about it , it seems more and more true... and its definitely going on the fridge! and anywhere else i can think of .... :drinker: (8 cups of water it is!!!) best of luck to all us!!!

:laugh: so true.. but i really think there r some elternatives.... like the 2 finger kitkat... 107 calories, reasonable nutrition facts... or 1 reeses cups... :smile: and plz don't get me started on skinny models eating chocolate on ads.. i agree.. they probably even spit out that one bite.. hehehehe

:drinker: im drinking lemon and ginger with honey for my cold... it makes me feel better... and everyone's kind words are helping me feel better.. especially the part about losing nothing the first 3 weeks... u must've gone crazy.. i know i would.. and the gallon of milk.. wow it is a lot!! and the hamburgers... gr8 ... i…

Thank u guys.. i was just crying my eyes out about this.. :cry: :cry: a whole week i just lose 1/2 a pound... then get a cold and mess it all up.. then feel like an entire loser.... i was really starting to lose all the weight for my friend's april wedding.. i guess i should just take one day at a time.. and really focus…

Thank u guys.. but its not 6 lbs id be flying happy.. its just .6 :( so its actually normal to lose just .6 lbs? on my first week? i always get discouraged after the first week.. i want to lose weight a.s.a.p... my friend's wedding is in april.. and i wanted to lose all the weight so quickly... :( this is not how it works…

:frown: I actually started using MFP about 10 days ago, the first 7 days were perfect, i stuck to the calories the exercise everything... i had a cold the last 3 days and i really messed everything up :( :cry: I ate much more calories than i need, i didnt exercise.. i feel like a complete failure... did anyone ever feel…

my rest day is just the day i feel like i cant take it anymore, i think it happens once every week or 10 days max.... today for example was my rest day :frown: it was really awful... i had a huge dinner and snacked on potatoe chips, cookies, chocolate... rest days r supposed to make us feel better, but to be honest they…

WAY TO GO :flowerforyou: this is such a great success story honestly if i can do half of what u did id me so proud of myself... i know for a fact how hard it is to lose…

:) good topic.. well unfortunately its the other way round for me.. last year i weighed... 154.5 pounds.. but this year i weigh.. 180 pounds :cry: i know... 30 pounds in one year is a lot.. it was a bad year... but i guess thinking of it another way .. it is kind of motivational..

Thank u guys.. its really sweet of u to welcome me :) so glad i joined MFP... :smile: and yes wender... kg's sound much lighter:laugh: but the fact is in lebanon thats how we record our weight.. in kg i found this great way to burn extra calories on the treadmil... u walk for 4 minutes then run for 2 minutes.. i burnt…
