If adding drink mix to your water, gets you your water, then by all means add the drink mix. It's a lot better that way, then not drinking any water. As long as you are hydrated that is all that matters. I add lemon juice to my water all the time. It's still water. Also if your calories seem too low eat foods that are…

I'd tell myself that i didn't know everything.

You looked amazing when you started!! Great results, very inspirational :)

Mmm. Idk about that. I'm allowed 1620 calories a day w/ one pound a week loss and i'm a waitress with a lightly active lifestyle. Depending on her activity level, and the rate at which she chose to lose the weight, this could be feasible. I am only 25 lbs overweight for my height. Idk how much she weighs, but you aren't…

I had similar problems when i started on MFP. I would suggest buying a food scale. I was overestimating a lot of my calories, and now i weigh EVERYTHING!. It seems to be working. I also started to drink more water.

It's understandable. 100 days! You should feel accomplished and very proud of yourself. You didn't come this far for nothing. It's okay. Maybe you should change your logging to maintenance for as much time as you need, and when you're ready, get back at it!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! My day has been made.

SO IT ISN'T TRUE!?!? Ive been drinking a gallon of water a day for a month now, and i still have to pee every hour on the hour lol . I was hoping it would go away :(

Measure yourself! My scale is barely budging but i'm down a size, and everyday at work someone new goes "Are u losing weight?". Don't rely on the scale 100%. Drink at least 64 oz of water a day . Exercise as much as possible, and eat as many of your exercise calories back THAT U CAN (the reason for this is that i used to…

Yes get a rainbow roll! Or for a beginner a california roll is playing it very safe. My favorite was shrimp tempura roll, but since i'm changing my lifestyle i've had to let that go :(

The sun is a carcinogen.

You're very similar to me. I'm 24 years old. 5'7 SW 180 CW 174 GW 145 UGW 135

Thank you! Real MFPers are supposed to be SUPPORTIVE and not JUDGEMENTAL like whoever posted that.

This!! I believe that you should eat when you are hungry. Don't force yourself to eat your exercise cals if you aren't hungry, but don't starve yourself trying to lose weight either. Use your body as a guide. Well said!

Thank you for finally setting the record straight. I researched the hell out of this when i first started MFP and have believed it ever since. I'm glad someone finally posted the truth.

Salad spritzer?? Is that like salad dressing in spray form?? Is it like i can't believe it's not butter spray? I have to know what this is and where i can get it lol.

i do the exact same thing and i swear i go number one at least 15 times a day! It is soooo irritating. I love water and the way i feel drinking water, but i hate cutting into all of my daily activities cause i pee so much.

absolutely agree! If i don't drink at least 64oz of water a day my weight loss stagnates, sometimes even gaining a lb or two back! When i drink a lot of water however i see major losses and i'm not nearly as hungry. My skin is also more clear when i drink a lot of water, and the dark circles around my eyes lighten up :)

Definitely up for the challenge! 1.) stay under calorie goal everyday 2.) Drink over 64 oz of water daily 3.) keep my carbs low and my proteins high 4.) never add salt or sugar to meals

80 grams! Where can i get one of those !? lol .

Haha, yeah i started eating almonds to get my protein and calories up...but i don't like them very much unless i crush them up and put them in stuff.

Going over your protein isn't a bad thing at all! The only things i try to never go over are sugar, sodium, and carbohydrates. But protein is great for weight loss. I actually use the MFP goal as a minimum.

Chicken, fish, beans (black mostly), whey protein powder, almonds, sunflower kernels, and peanut butter. But i'd love to see other responses! I also like to eat mostly protein. I actually use my MFP goal as a minimum and get irritated if i'm not able to go in the red that day. And i'm getting sick of eating nuts (i've…

HAHA! Those movies are loooooong too, so I'm sure you could actually get a decent workout in if u follow it.

I crave chocolate, cookies, and cake around my TOTM. It never fails. I'm good all month until that time. Then I feel like I'm dying lol .

absolutely am. It's 2012 !!

THIS! I think everything he said was perfect :)

That's good to know !!

elliptical at level 25!??? U are a beast !

Peanut butter, string cheese, sunflower kernels, veggie straws (i hope they don't count as a veggie) , laughing cow cheese wedges, and goldfish.
