Having to buy new underwear 2 sizes smaller than I was wearing!!!

Hollywood is harsh and NOT reality. The reality is your doing good for YOU and that's all that counts. Congrats on the loss and eff anyone that says otherwise.

I'm "happy" not "mappy" - damn keyboard

I found a brand that gives me the cals for one bag...too much thinking going on about popcorn...but I was so mappy to see that others had the same issues as me :-) Enjoy your Friday all!

You all have NO idea how validated I feel now that there are so many different calculations...I think I'll go with measuring out 1 cup and call it a day (although I know that won't be nearly enough to satisfy my popcorn craving). I might have to buy the 100 calorie bags...WAY easier. You're welcome for the brain teaser of…

Oh that would be the wasy thing to do :laugh:

I'm happy to see that there are lots of different opinions...I don't feel so badly now! THANK YOU all for your help :-) I think I have to find a new popcorn!

Ugh...I knew I was doing the calculations wrong! Thanks all. It irrritates me that they mention the 4 cups with the unpopped amount, but then give you the cals by cup. I should have looked at the details more closely. Sabotaging myself! I knew it was too good to be true!

okay, hoping this works (glad I'm not the only one challenged with posting photos for the first time!)

Having a hard time posting a pic you can see....trying!

I used WW for most of my loss, but I am using MFP for maintenance. I still go to weigh in once a month since I am lifetime and don't need to pay, but I needed that accountability to someone other than me. I like the calorie counting better, but I was eating slightly better on WW because I would eat a lot more fruits and…

When I was in HS and college I would be rendered useless for a day or two with horrible cramps and would throw up constantly. The only thing that helped was going on the pill. It helped regulate me and ease the issues. Good luck!

I've been playing with maintenance as well. I changed my calorie intake manually, leaving myself a buffer on what MFP said my maintenance would be. I've been able to sustain for over a month now doing that. I just recently did my first measuring as I'm sure I will be losing inches as I continue which is what I'm really…

I REFUSE to give up wine. I've lost 22 pounds total on my weight loss journey and didn't cut out my weekend adult-beverages. You're welcome to add me! My fave is red, but with it being summer I've been drining a lot of whites...I like clean and crisp, not too fruity.

I have a recipe that I've been wanting to try...as soon as I do, I will report and post the recipe if it's good.

This! I weigh in every week on Thursday (use to be Wed but work schedule changed for WW). I record the weight regardless if I'm up, down or the same. I HATE it when people only log losses. Especially if they log a log every day for a week and get all excited and then don't enter their weight for a month beacuse they…

I make chicken burgers. You can make ahead (bake in oven on top of rack on cookie sheet) and just warm on the grill. 1 pound ground chicken 1.5 cups panko bread crumbs (I use the italian flavored ones) 1 yellow onion diced 1 egg Mix it all together and form 6 patties and they are less than 250 cals each. You can eat…

Don't compare yourself to others. I ran my first 5K in 16+ years this past Sunday. For me, it wasn't a "race" so much as a personal goal. I finished 90 out of 140 runners and I COULD NOT BE PROUDER! Go at your own pace. You're off the couch and doing it...the speed and consistency will come with time. The important thing…

I'm having the same issue...toning my abs is the last thing I'd really like to do. I've slimmed down everywhere else. Thanks so much for posting this and for all the ideas!

BUMP!

My profile is set as sedentary because I don't always get to work out and my job has me in front of a computer a lot. When I do work up a sweat from cleaning or gardening, I log it. I'm usually more hungry afterward (like yesterday). I typically cut the time and cals though. I was outside yesterday for over 2 hours in the…

Friday dinner, Saturday dinne and *sometimes* Sunday dinner are my cheats....those are the only night my hubby is home to eat with us and we always have wine with dinner (yes, those night I usually drink my overage :-)

I regret not having done measurements at the start.....I'd love to know how many inches I have lost.

One of my friends is over 700...but that's the most I've seen.

Congrats on the bikini! I realized today that I need to buy some new belts...in a smaller size!

I started on WW and used most of my bonus points on the weekends (I love my red wine!). Glad to know I can do it with cals too!
