I understand your frustration but I can also tell you that you should log the foods you eat, "every" morsel. You can be accountable that way and to the rest of us since your diary is public. It's a learning process and it takes time to get a handle on ways of eating for life without denying yourself everything. Sometimes…

My story has some similarity to yours only my mom who is heavy used to tell me that boys only like skinny girls and that is so untrue! Any way I would be glad to help you get started and rock you out of that jam you are in, I am sending you a friend request!

Feel free to add me! I would love to support you!

I need help too please add me!

Wow, you definitely can tell you lost and you look great! One other thing you can do is take a back picture of yourself to see more changes. I lost 20 lbs too and I just looked at the back view of myself recently and found how much slimmer I looked. It seems we look at the front side always what we have a hard time seeing…

I can tell you that when grocery shopping, shop the perimeters of the store because that is where the healthier and fresh foods are located and not the processed foods. Weighing and measuring food with a food scale and measuring cups and spoons are also helpful with accuracy in your logging calories then you can be in…

I simply don't like to do exercise alone without someone or something to motivate me so I go to an organized class at my rec center. That being jazzercise or zumba or something fun like dance and there I find encouragement and people like me who would never do this on their own and have made friends that way too. As for my…

You can add me, I have been a member since Jan 2012 and have been seriously trying to successfully lose weight and have logged in all year. I would love to have another friend myself who I can encourage and have my ups and downs with! I am sending a friend request!

You look sensational, keep up the great work! Your hard work is paying off!!!

I am married!

I have lost weight over and over only to get motivated a while and then gave up. This time it is different for me. I like the fact that my diary is public to my friends and it keeps me accountable. I did weight watchers for years but stopped becauses it was not as easy to just eat cuz you had to know points.. Here you can…

You do look fabulous and I am so happy for your success!! I started the same time as you but I have no where near the weight loss that you did. You should be proud of yourself, as your pictures do tell, I was wondering, can you tell me what all you did like eating how many calories and your exercise hints that may help me…

Great job you look awesome and I am soooo jealous of your abs!!!!!!

I realized that I am a hider of eating sweets and treats. I was always told that I was going to get fat or that it is fattening growing up and that plays on my mind so I would eat a little bit then eat more in hiding so nobody saw me. How bad that is and it's habitual for me. Now I am working on myself to log it in my…

I am from the Cleveland area all my life. Add me if you like.

This... and planning a late snack that is written ahead for the day to look forward to. Also, opening your diary to others helps keep you accountable and you may indulge in less calories if others know what you are doing.

Feel free to add me, I've been on here since January and love all the friends I have made and there is such a good support system here from my MFP friends. I am so determined to get to my goal which is about 55 more lbs however long it takes! I am good for motivating others so I would love to help motivate you, too.…

You may not want to eat bananas, they are good for diarhea so they may stop you up

YES! It will tell you you get to eat a little more too!

Plantar fasciatis is felt as "heel pain", not ball of foot pain, just to clear it up for you. I had it for years, but unfortunately I don't know what the ball of foot pain is, I only know I had a pair of "Clarks" dress shoes that I used to wear to work and after a few weeks, I ended up feeling like there was a piece of…

I use avacados instead of mayo on my sandwiches and I mix it in with my tuna salad. Love the stuff :)
