i do the same thing! i was down 15lbs then didnt weigh in for a few weeks - im back up. way up! i'd love some suggestions and help too!

:( i'm so sorry about your cat! i had to do that in september and i was a wreck!! my diet and exercise went straight out the window for a month. but, i wish that i hadn't drowned my sadness in wine and food. it feels terrible putting a beloved pet to sleep. but when i stepped on the scale and saw the higher numbers it…

i've been there! weight has been an issue for me since i was a little kid. it takes a long time to adopt a healthy relationship with food and exercise and body image but YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!! this is the best place for that journey! my biggest advice is: baby steps. start by logging into mfp every day and logging what you…

that's why i'm getting in shape too! i'm in my 20s and about the same loss goal. welcome to mfp. good luck!

I started 30DS on Saturday and I loooove it!! Jillian's comments crack me up! Hope you're all loving it and and loving the burn!! Here we go!

oh, question..... how do i keep track of this thread? is there someway I can save it? bookmark it?

I'm in! I'm going to start the DVD tomorrow. SW: 150 CW: 138 WOOOO! let's go!!!

all great advice. Thanks guys!!

i hear ya!! the calories from drinks, the drunken snacks post-bar and then the extra big breakfast you have to eat the next day due to the hangover really adds up. not to mention screws up your gym routine! instead of hiding from the temptations, try going out with your friends but be conscious of how quickly you're…

Good luck! this site will definitely help!!

i'm on a 1200 cal/day diet too. for breakfast i eat oatmeal because it's fast and filling. i've switched from prepackaged oatmeal (like Quaker) to the big containers of loose oats and measure it out. this way i can increase or decrease my breakfast calories depending on how i feel. it's also got significantly less sugar…

thank you!!!!! this post was great.

thanks for all of the advice guys! i bought the weight watchers conair scale from kmart. i like it so far!

good luck! having the app on your phone makes it so easy to track what you eat. and the online community is great. welcome!

i am not a morning person! i stay in bed until the very last minute without being late to work and i'm generally running out the door - no time or patience to put into breakfast. so what i've turned to is oatmeal. quaker makes lower sugar flavors that are pretty delicious. i grab one packet from the box each morning and…

you guys are right! Thank you!! :smile:

oh that sounds really helpful!

Good luck!

I was in your same predicament last week. I went to a Mets game with some beer guzzling guys and knew it'd be tough to fight the temptation. My advice: eat lightly today so if you do feel like buying some stadium food it won't throw you off your day's calorie goal. Another great thing is the prepackaged, single-serve baby…

wow! how fabulous! keep up the good work!!

good for you! welcome!

This program works so long as you log in each day and post honestly. (I was tempted today to fib on my weigh-in, but realized it won't help me reach my goals.) Everyone on here is so supportive and friendly! I've never experienced such encouragement. I'm sure you'll become an MFP addict in no time! I'm behind a desk all…

congrats!!! that's awesome!!

congratulations!!! you've inspired me to stick to my plan!! good job!

Isn't this site great? It's so addictive!! Good luck with your goals!

These are all great ideas. Thank you!!

Don't get discouraged! Just try to follow your calorie allowance and be sure to weigh yourself at the same time everyday (first thing in the morning, right before you go to bed, etc.) You can do it!

I was in the same exact position. I can't even count the amount of times I told everyone I know 'I'm doing it for real this time! I'm going to slim down and stay that way forever!' but before long my strict diet and exercise regime would slip, I'd gain back what I lost, become discouraged and gain even more weight than I'd…

yes! i'd love to join in. i love halloween so it's a great goal date :smile:

welcome! you'll be hooked to MFP in no time!
