what gets you motivated in the first place? Motivation is a hard thing. I too struggle with it, but I have to weigh in monthly at my doctors office because I take pills so having to be accountable is what is keeping me going. Yes I have horrible days and usually around a certain time of the month is when that happens but I…

that is great. To have your self esteem built up like that is a blessing. We are told they are just kids and just words but in reality things like that do hurt people's feelings and for you not to be bothered by it is wonderful.

thank you everyone I will defiantly try all the ideas.

Thank you everyone. This eating food that does not come from fast food or a box is way different then what I am used to. Yes I was one of those kids that grew up on hamburger helper. I will try all the ideas and see what works best for me. Again Thank you♥

I have degen. disc disease, arthritis, bone spurs

is this a good work out if you have lower back problems?

Hey there I have been diagnosed with depression too. I lost my job because of it, have not been able to be motivated at all because of it. I get depressed because I am over weight so I want to succeed at losing weight have a great plan for the next day and then the day gets here and for some reason I get out of bed at 1pm…

so is this a post that I can start doing also on Tuesday? can you help me know what to do? I will add mfp to facebook.

Congrats to you and the mother enjoy:heart:

how many should you eat a day. I will eat only 2 but I will eat all my calories. I tried the breakfast thing but I really don't like it. Lunch dinner and a snack is what I like. Is that okay? I don't eat much lese through out the day. Never have that is why I started this.

Welcome I tend to visit this site more then my myspace page. Love it and it helps

Cheated yesterday gotta give in once in awhile okay I have been struggling but Today Is A Better day

So I have noticed that I am slowly slipping back to old habits. I am a fast food junkie and I notice that I have been doing it again not as much and I stay in my cals but I need not to do it at all. Any suggestions on quick foods that are healthy. That is my other problem I am lazy and don't like to cook.

congrats thats a big step:happy:

I was always told that a dress size is about 20# I am also down 14# and have not made it down a dress size either but I do notice that my clothes are fitting much looser. I go by what people say how I look and by the way I feel. Don't get discouraged just keeping losing and you will get there:flowerforyou:

If you don't exercise as you lose weight the flab will hang but if you exercise and tighten it up it will be tight skin but you have to exercise. I stress the exercise because I have seen what it does to people when they don't and they end up cutting it off.

You look great. I get discouraged a lot so I too have decided that every month I have to take a picture si I can see the difference. Keep up your great work!!:wink:

I love Snickers Marathon caramel nut rush yum

I too had to learn how to eat slower, when you have kids you tend to at least I do try to get it all in before they need something. I take a drink after every bite. It may be in my head but liquid makes things expand so I tend to think that it is doing the same thing in my belly. I also talk after I have washed my food…

Ya I'm glad that you did it keep up the good work :glasses:

Keep up the good work. Are you going to reward yourself when you reach your half way point? I'm going to finish my tattoo (Tramp Stamp).
