I have been around the same weight now for almost a year. I still have a pouch, have excess skin on my upper arms, and my stomach is still flabby. In my mind, I know it is all extra skin, but it still bothers me. I just have to keep in mind that I was overweight a good part of my teenage years and some of my 20's, almost…

I bought a weight watchers scale at Kohl's the other day on sale for $40. It pretty cool! It can store up to four users. It measures weight, BMI, water weight, and body fat percentage.

When I first started, I lost 8 pounds the first week. I contributed some of it to water weight though.

Thanks! I tracked points in the beginning, but now I don't even bother that much! Sometimes for fun, after I logged my food on MFP I will get my ww calculator and figure up the points. Usually I am spot on! Through it all I have learned what's bad and what's good and what's worth it and what's not, without figuring points.…

Thank you! I would say a little of both! WW held me more accountable with the weekly weigh ins and the support of my leader but I learned so much by reading the MFP forums. And logging my food intake on here opened my eyes on to how much I really used to eat. It's crazy to think about how many calories I used to eat in a…

Thank you everyone!

I bought my first size small shirt a couple weeks ago!

Sometimes I eat two blueberry waffles for breasfast, no butter or syrup, for around 190 calories. Yummy option!

I have a big weakness for french fries!

So excited!! Very glad Jillian is back too.

I have her 4 really fast miles dvd and just recently bought the 5 mile dvd. I feel like it's a great work-out! It's how I have lost a lot of my weight.

I like the Leslie Sansone walking dvds. I have one entitled Four Really Big Miles. It's about an hour long if you do the whole thing or you can just do one mile at a time. Very flexible and it's a great workout, you're not just walking. I think you can get it at walmart for about $10.

Way to go! I've been on ww since April and have lost about 55 lbs :)

My cat's name is Sophie. She 9 years old, short black hair, and golden eyes. I saved her from the shelter when she was 4 months old, they said they just found her wondering the streets. I often wonder about her mother and siblings and what happened to them. She likes to lay right in front of me when I'm exercising, drink…

Finally made it to the 160s. I never want to get above 170 ever again.

I've been doing 2 slim-fast shakes a day, breakfast and supper, for about a month now. Sometimes I only do one a day, but I have lost weight consistently. I don't add anything to my shakes though, as I think they are yummy enough. :smile:

I just drink when I'm thirsty, which for me is usually about 5 cups of water and one can of diet soda a day. If I were to try to drink the recommended amount of water per day, I would be in the restroom all day. To me that just seems counterproductive.

I'm doing both. I love WW because of the meetings and it keeps me accountable for the weigh-ins, especially since they are on Mondays nights (it helps keep me on track during the weekend). I love MFP for tracking my food and exercise and the forums. Started MFP in January and lost about 20 pounds, gained all but 2 back.…

I had mine taken out in June 2009. I was completely knocked out for it. After I woke up they told me my mouth was really small to work with. They struck a nerve and the left side of cheek filled up with blood. On top of that I got an infection and had to take antibiotics. Had an hour drive home and was in tears by the time…

1. Your stats... Age: 23 Height: 5'3" Body Frame: Medium Weight: 186 Jeans size: 16 2. How tall are you? Do you like your height? I'm 5'3 and yes I like it! 3. A picture of your thinspiration. What features do you like about this person? I have a pic of my cousin and I from before I started gaining. 4. Your greatest fears…

Fried egges over easy with natures seasoning. I just spray the pan with a little bit of pam. Or scrambled eggs seasoned with natures seasoning with ketchup or on a flour shell with a little bit of cheese and red taco sauce. Yum!

Some of my fav snacks include pre-cut veggies with ranch dip, granola bars (I like Nature Valley), yogurt, 100 calorie bag of popcorn, pretzel crisps, and apple slices.

I actually stay the same, sometimes even losing weight while on my period. Of course I have some extra cravings, but I try not to give in. If I do give in then I just exercise a little more that day.

Single here too.

Been doing it on the wii since the middle of April. Have lost 26 pounds and almost two pant sizes so far!

I rest in between days. Maybe doing it everyday would help me build up to it more, then rest on the weekends? I might try that.

Every morning, but I officially track it on mondays.

I'm doing it. I just did week 2 day 1 today. The 3 minute jog today just about killed me and wednesday I have to jog for 4 minutes. I can't wait till I can run a little easier. I may have to repeat week 2.

I do once a week! Usually it's a tostado from my favorite mexican restaurant with chips and salsa. I just eat the meat, cheese, and lettuce, and leave the flour shell. Or sometimes I go to McDonalds and get a cheeseburger and a small frie. It hasn't stalled me yet.

That is a great start! I remember how happy I was when my blood pressure went from being borderline high to normal. We have got to celebrate the little victories along the way!
