Start over as many times as it takes until you've had enough and give it all you've got! I was the same as you...lost then gained back a portion each year...this year I am determined not to let that happen and so far so good....usually by now I've fallen way off track...trust me, as long as you get back on your horse and…

I don't do dessert....and if I did, a Fiber One bar would be the LAST thing I'd give them....they are full of chemicals....fruit is big in our house....if they don't finish their plate (I have one who does and one who rarely does unless it's something she REALLY likes) they can have fruit or raw veg later on....or…

Great job!

Couple of weeks I think....took it when I chopped my hair off again :)

I wish I could smoke it....I used to in my younger days but now can't tolerate it....sick sick sick....now just the smell makes me want to yak....I can barely drink anymore either....

As long as your dog's name isn't "Rainbow".

I think if your dog is well trained, a leash would not be an issue....we have a nature trail through our town and dogs are supposed to be on leashes....and yet, I've been jumped on and nearly knocked over by several dogs along the trail and the owners act like it is my fault...I've actually been yelled at because the dog…

I do both....juice AND eat my veggies....or sometimes have a green smoothie with freshly juiced carrot and lime....I also add ground flax to my juice....I find it gives me lots of energy personally....but I would never juice exclusively....

I used to swear by breakfast and made sure it was my biggest meal....would get the bulk of my fibre, protein and iron at that time as well, but lately I've just not felt like eating in the morning...so I get up around 6:30 and have coffee with flax and my vitamins and call it "breakfast", then have a morning snack around 9…

Maritimer here! From NB :)

What I was going to say :)

Colin Firth, Orlando Bloom...a British or Irish accent usually cements it for me :)

<proud Canadian, eh!

I like that show....I don't think I have any strange addictions but I am a bit OCD lol

I don't see anything wrong with a .8 loss...our bodies are all different and some of us have to work a little harder to lose....your diary looks pretty good although there are days where you are eating too few calories...one thing I did was stop eating so much fruit and eating more veggies instead...could just be the sugar…

"Live in the pesent, remember the past. Fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall." It happens to the best of us....we are all here for the same reason and we are only human so we fall down from time to time....this probably won't be the only time you fall down so hard, but knowing it is just a temporary…

My sugars are always over, mainly due to fruit consumption...I don't tend to watch my sugar intake because of that...

I have the opposite problem actually....I have worked out more this time around though so there is a 10 pound difference in how my clothes fit....I'm wearing stuff now at 182 lbs that I was wearing when I was 172 pounds...I had NO muscle before but now I have more muscle and less fat so I suspect that you may have been…

Plus when I hurt my back and couldn't do "normal" things....I logged anything extra because I changed my activity level down to sedentary or lightly active where I was mostly sitting and nursing a bad back...so I have cleaning and cooking logged because it was abnormal for me that week....

Yesterday I spent about 5 hours in the kitchen making bread and rolls by hand (plus cleanup) plus a huge roast beef supper...I logged an hour of that...I know I did more than normal because I was exausted by 7pm and couldn't go for my evening walk....it worked out to be 165 calories burned by MFP standards....pretty sure…

LMAO, yup! I just replied saying that ha ha...it's the only time I log cooking :)

When I make bread I count it, but only a small portion...kneading bread is hard work and if I'm making 3 or 4 batches of bread, I log 20-30 minutes...by the end of it, my arms are killing me and I've broken a sweat lol

I spread it on naan bread and add veggies on top like a pizza...warm in the oven a few minutes and heaven! Also use it for a dip with raw veggies...YUM!

I am 38....2 kids...lucky though because I work at home but I'm a babysitter so I can have up to 6 kids at once....I exercise whenever I can find the time to squeeze it in...jump on the stationary bike while the little one naps or everyone is eating lunch...walk in the evening...that sort of thing...you just find the…

OK, my first two weeks of the year I lost weight...I was eating brownies and finishing off snacks from Christmas..taking in a LOT more calories than what MFP wanted me to...then I got really serious and ate healthy the next two weeks and brought in what MFP said I should which was like 1400 and something.....I gained for…

You mean you don't go around randomly telling people you eat meat? Oh wait....wrong topic

I am dying here!!!! :laugh:

I bought a pair of skinny jeans before Christmas....I was amazed at how they looked on me.....they are too big now :) Going down in clothing sizes I think is the BEST part...the numbers on the scale are great but only tell a fraction of the story....what we see, and how we FEEL are the most important things!

First of all, your little girl is adorable! And second....AMAZING job....I always find it incredible how weightloss makes people look COMPLETELY different...I mean, you were a nice looking guy regardless but you look like a new person! Good job!

I bet ANY food you have in Italy is better than a Pop Tart....
