I add everything, even my vitamins. Mustard, even though it has zero calories, has sodium and I keep track of that too. Sometimes, but it's rare, I will leave out a bite of something (not sure how you log a bite) if I have calories left over for the day. I like to look at my diary and know that it contains everything that…

Personally, when I congratulate someone on their progress, I'm not saying "wow you were fat and disgusting before and now you're skinny and pretty". I'm really saying "you've worked your *kitten* off to achieve a goal and you are doing it / have done it, excellent job". That's the difference.

6 inch flatbread, egg white and ham, green peppers, spinach, red onions and chipotle sauce. Delicious!

For me, there's nothing better than jumping on the eliptical, turning on my ipod, and pounding away to the beat. It's really therapeutic for me and a great way to release some agression. I also like to people watch.

Well,even if I'm not eating what they eat, I still sit with them and hang out. You can be social and still stick to your packed lunch.

We have spontaneous pizza days too. I just eat half my lunch that I packed and then maybe eat one piece of pizza. We usually get a veggie pizza so it's not that bad. There are only four of us in the office, so it would be really obvious if I didn't eat any.

I eat the yolk when I fry my eggs or when eating a hard boiled egg or deviled egg (mmmm deviled eggs) but I only eat the white in my omelettes or when scrambled.

I drink bourbon and water. I used to drink it with sprite but wanted to eliminate those calories. Have fun!

Awesome results!

I'm on Lo Loestrin and I am not having problems losing weight. It is a very low bc pill. I have always heard that it's not the actual bc pill that makes you gain weight but it can increase your appetite which will cause you to eat more and gain weight. My doctor told me to give the pill three months for your body to get…

Age: 31 Height 5ft 4 Start weight (193 before I started MFP, 163, when I really started taking it seriously) Current weight 149 Goal weight: right now 130

Shut up, I almost spit cottage cheese all over my computer. :laugh:

Mostly, family and friends judge me by the size of my butt (I'm pretty curvy). The consensus is that when it's starts getting too small I have to stop losing weight regardless of what I weigh at the time. Actually, when I tell people how much I weigh, they don't believe I weigh that much. Just do what you need to feel and…

I was also going to suggest getting your iron and vitamin D levels checked. I also get really sluggish when my alergies are bothering me. Maybe it's time for a physical, just to be sure.

You can do some home exercises while she naps. I belong to a gym with a child care room so I will take my daughter with me to the gym. She loves playing with the other kids and I get my workout in. Strap her in a stroller and go for walks/runs. You can even do lunges while you walk her.

Yes! I had a hard time when I first started out but then I started planning my meals and workouts ahead of time so I know that I will meet my goal. I used to look at my diary at 7:00 at night and freak out because i still had 500 calories to eat and there was no way I could eat them before bed. I'm sure you will get great…

Even simple things like taking the stairs when you go to school or work instead of the elevator, or parking farther away so you have to walk more, or do some squats while brushing your teeth. You will find little things like this throughout the day will help alot. Workouts don't have to be in big chunks, just make them…

To explain it the simplest, it's like putting premium gas in your car but only putting in three gallons and expecting to drive 500 miles. Even though you're eating healthy foods, it's still not enough fuel for your body and all the functions it needs to perform.

I love broiled cajun tilapia or salmon. You can even buy the salmon fresh and already seasoned at my grocery store. Add some steamed veggies and you have a meal.

This is making work much more bearable and proves that once you give people some anonymity and put them with people of the opposite sex, there will be flirting....and pics of junk.
