Drop the diet coke and drink more water.

Add me too, please. I just started on Jan. 8th, 2012 and I have no fitness pals either. :flowerforyou:

I just bought a really good Biggest Loser's scale at Bed, Bath & Beyond and it is nice. $40.00 + tax - a 10% discount from said store. It computes your weight, height, gender, age and tells you how many calories you should have per day and your BMI. The scale itself is very comfortable and solid to stand on. I'd recommend…

Yes, yes and yes! Most definitely helps keep me on track most of the time.

I know what you mean. I have lost a 5 pounds since Jan. 8 of this year and even my pants (including undies) fit better plus, I can fit into my favorite blouses that I had gotten to large to wear anymore. So, congratulations and carry on...

Please add me, too! I need variety... Thanks!

Good for you! You're very brave in more ways than one. Add me as a friend if you like. I've been on MFP for weeks now and have not made one friend yet but sure could use one like you who is so determined and energized. Yay! on the weight loss! A loss is a loss... :flowerforyou:

I think whoever though of capitalizing words means yelling is stupid!! It can also mean trying to emphasize something, trying to be understood. The tone of the letter is what matters. Be that as it may, the real point to her topic is that she desparately needs help and is humble enough to ask. I am new to this new…

How long did it take you to reach that particular goal and what kinds of food did you eat? You look absolutely fantastic! You're whole being just exudes this inner and outer healthy glow! :flowerforyou:

I seem to be the oldest kid at 57 going on 16, just not my body. I'd love to join this group as I think we have physical limitations that just come with age but there's got to be some good suggestions as how to overcome them that I'm not aware of. I've got a long way to go but I have already lost 6+ lbs. since Jan. 8 of…

Bill Cosby used to say they entertain us and I found this to be good advice and true. I'm a mother of four grown children, all self motivated, intelligent, productive, prolific and all with good sense of humors. We did a lot of the same stuff you do with yours but they learned to entertain themselves as well as each other.…

I don't even recognize myself!

I found a water container with an 8-cup measurement so I fill it up early in the morning and drink about one glass per hour or more at room temperature. It's encouraging to see the line go down.

"Honesty" I have more than one favorite. It's like choosing a favorite child! Impossible!

Welcome! It is good you are being realistic about what goes into starting a new lifestyle and yet remaining positive. Just remember when you have days when you go over your caloric intake not to fret or worry but just carry on and you'll do just fine. Don't punish yourself by overindulging. Good luck to you!!

I lost 5 lbs. my first week, too and now am in week 2 but how many have you lost in addition to the 1 lb. after the 5 lb.? It is much harder for me the second week. I think I expect to much. Any advice, please on how to keep going and not to get discouraged? Thanks.

I would love a motivator, please. Anyone else want to volunteer, too?

And So It Goes...

Brie and water crackers left over from the holidays... I just couldn't resist - I'm so ashamed but somebody had to eat it! lol
