Nice work,,,you look awesome!

Did you spell enchilada correctly? You misspelled it in your post, so you may have done the same when looking in the database.

So true...it just isn't a good idea to fry bacon while wearing a bikini....

I saw a study once that showed that people who logged their food ate less, even if they weren't on a diet. While I don't know how true that study is, it works for me. Sometimes I don't eat something because I don't feel like logging it. The rule for me is "If you eat it, you log it". Pain in the butt - I hate it - but that…

I tend to walk on the insides of my feet too. When I started exercising as part of my weight loss, I bought a light hiking shoe that prevents me from doing so. It might be something worth looking into for you. The ones I purchase are by Merrill and they are called Avian Light. The one drawback to them is that they do not…

To me, you look quite thin in your pictures, but you look healthy too. I think we are so used to seeing bigger people that when we see someone who is in the lower end of the normal range, we think it is too thin. If you like the way you look, stay that way. However, if you want to gain weight, don't start with the junk…

Yup...I had a nice well balanced breakfast this morning, and am over on sugar. Until MFP distinguishes between natural and added sugar, we are on our own to read labels and figure out if something has refined sugar in it. I avoid pretty much as much packaged food as I can unless I am having a treat.

Probably better than the other way around... It seems like when we get more active, the time melts away as the pounds melt away!

There are some options for hiking while carrying a load in the cardiovascular exercise section. While, you aren't going over rough terrain, it may be a better estimate than the walking options.

I've lost the microwave, and am going for the air conditioner...guess I will be short some appliances when i am done. I may go for the elephant's penis...

My ex has naked pictures of me. They were taken before I had kids. I weighed 125 pounds and had a flat stomach. If I had those pictures....I might spread them all over the internet (lol..not)...Yeah baby...I used to look like that!!

Just remember that they probably cook differently than you in the kitchen. Whereas you might spray your cooking pan with olive oil, they may be cooking with heavy vegetable oil or butter. So, even though you have ordered the salmon or chicken, it might not be healthy at all. So, tell the server that you are on a low…

I buy Field Day Organic Peanut Butter from my local healthy food store. I keep it in the fridge to give it the consistency I expect from my peanut butter. It has no added sugar, which a lot of the major "natural brands" have.

If you are going to eat that many calories you need bacon. Seriously folks.

I agree with this. I don't even think that what you did today was cheating. It may not have been the healthiest of foods, but you didn't even blow out your calories!

You sound SOOOO stressed. I hope you can find something other than the ice cream to make you feel better. For me, it is a nice bath and my sparkly lip gloss.

I can't help but think evil things whenever I see a Shakeweight or its commercials. Glad I am not the only one,

I think everyone wishes for a flat stomach, but I am learning to like what I have. I think if I lose about 20 more pounds, there is a possibility that my stomach will be flat. Before I had children, I weighed 125 lbs. My starting weight this past January was 208, so I gained over 80 pounds in the course of my motherhood. I…

If i ever do that pose, they will have to get the Jaws of Life to get me out of it. Nice job!

I feel STRONG and confident! My legs feel ROCK HARD to me today too. (Anyone else hoping for baby goat pictures??)

Wow..that is awesome...you really have done a great job blasting away that belly fat. You must be so excited!

It sounds like you beat yourself up pretty good when you let yourself have an indulgence....after exercising 6 days a week and being good, you can go over for a bit. The problem will be if you let a piece of cake derail the whole process. It is only cake, and as long as you don't tell yourself that you are a failure, then…

I am still using Wii Fit Plus...I really enjoy Rhythm Boxing and Hula Hoop Plus. Sometimes I use the long distance cycling to kick my butt.

Okay, here is what I get when I go out to get fast food: 1 Chipotle - salad (no dressing) fajitas, steak, mild, corn, and green salsa, and black beans...yum! 2. Five Guys - Little hamburger no bun, lettuce, tomatoes, relish, ketchup, grilled onions, extra mushrooms, and green peppers 3. Panera - You pick two with turkey…

I think our image of what looks normal can be distorted sometimes. I think you look great in the second picture.

YAY...no more blue sausage! Rock that Nomex!

Congratulations...you look awesome, and your smile says that you feel great too. Most of us would DIE to have the set up you have in your home. You made a great investment in your health and happiness!

I just did a little bit of internet research on this, and I think that the limit that MFP gives us is for ADDED sugars, not the ones that are naturally occurring in foods. So, for milk, fruit, etc...it doesn't really matter. If a package has sugar (or corn syrup etc..) as an ingredient, then it should probably count…

I had a shake, two servings of fruit, a glass of milk, and I went over sugar for the day. I am not sure how I can keep under MFP's sugar allotment for the day, or even if I want to!

Wow...I would be frustrated too! Are there other indicators of success besides the scale in the past four weeks? Have you lost inches, gained muscle definition, or do you feel healthier? There are so many other ways to define success besides the scale, so don't give up! Eating right and exercising is a success just by…
