I choose to eat how I'm feeling.

You look fabulous! A totally different person, wow! Gorgeous! Such an inspiration!

Ciara, the music artist's last 2 albums, Beyonce's last album, Blackeye Peas last album and artist Kelly Rowland...all Phenomenal for working out. You've got everything on those albums from warm up, to cool down.

I'm counting calories, carbs and sugar...

I aim to do cardio 5-6days a week with a day of strength.

Yes, low carb, low sugar diet for me...Just trying to get adjusted. It's challenging!

Starting weight 224. This week as well as this month, 10lb Slimdown, Chris Freytag. My second day in.

Being slow to speak.

Hi Rebecca, I just recently started working on my post-baby body. My son is 19months and I just stopped breast feeding about 4-5 months ago. Weight loss is a journey and I think I've just accepted that fact like yesterday, LOL! So far you're doing good with your weight loss; just be realistic with you eating habits. Never…

Peanut Butter on toast or celery. I also like turkey and cheese rolls (2) with a small spread of honey dijon mustard. (Choose a low-fat cheese, low-sodium turkey). Yummy!

Thanks All! I got the answers I needed. I'm going to take some before pictures this evening and go from here...(so scary but I have got to walk the plank to swim in my ocean of happiness!). Here's to next month's photo...

Drink 2 glasses of water before you start eating (a total of 12-16oz). And definitely start with a salad...watch the dressing. And absolutely don't skip dessert. Even if that means you get a doggy bag for your food. Let us know how you did...

@mbcarren08 ~ I like that suggestion...

That's me...same height but with more like 70-75lbs to go.

Yes WW does work. I lost 6lbs while on the plan (2months). I've recently re-dedicated myself to eating up to my points. Stick and stay and give yourself time to see the results. Good luck! (Feel free to add me as a friend, we'll support each other).

Way to go Angela! So glad to know that its working for you...keep up the good work! :wink:

Thank you All for your words of ease and encouragement...means so much and has helped!

I don't know anything about the drug Fastin but I know a bit about fasting. Well, fasting is very different and you have to be careful. I have fasted for religious reasons and have lost 4-7lbs...I usually do fast the day before my weigh in maybe every 2 weeks but just for that one day. Although its only like 2 pounds it…

I know exactly how you feel. I refuse to go to my girlfriends events because I'm always the fattest one there. I've done away with date night with my husband because I can never find anything sexy enough to wear to impress him...he doesnt mind my weight its all me but either way...we can do this! This is your time to break…

@Okie ~ I am absolutely loving your Mini goals, especially #2 I'll take to the challenge!

The thing I am looking forward to most when I reach my goal weight is looking up to heaven and telling my Mom and Father-in-law I finally did (all thanks to their encouragment they gave while they were here on Earth).

One of my biggest changes have been not looking in the mirror as often. I used to get upset when I looked in the mirror which led to binge eating...now I only look maybe once in the morning before I leave out for work. This has helped me tremendously.

Yep! My husband did until he had his own health scare...sometimes words don't work. Overtime, as he sees your consistent choices in healthy foods and good activity habits he'll accept them and support you. Although it seemed he meant well, old habits are hard to break and if every time you were at odds he brightened your…

Sheppard's Pie Lean Ground beef (Don't drain your beef - this will add plenty of flavor and used as a substitute for butter/margarine) Mashed potatoes (these can be red potatoes) Peas (canned or thawed) Shredded Cheese (low fat or 2%) This dish is a layered dish. Bottom layer - Mashed potatoes Middle layer - Peas Next…

@TJ...The walk helped! @elle...I was stressed, I was doing Econ homework and it really had me consumed, problems, graphs urgh! @ TD...LOL! It wasn't Taco Bell it was Mexican Post (even better than TB) :smile: Here's what I did..... I took about a 10min walk and I thought about the one food I really wanted and said if I…

Digitals are great because they give you lbs and ounces. I got mine from Walmart 4yrs ago. Sunbeam digital. No problems and works great! Oh and it was under $20bucks.

Hi and Welcome! Yes, tons of energy! My MFP friends are the ultimate encouragers and motivators. We're all getting it done together and supporting one another. You can do it!

Agreed!

52-52-52 sounds like some of the lucky powerball numbers :-)! Your weight loss may turn everyone into a winner, WTG, and congrats on your success!
