Girl, I am so with you. I've been struggling with this same exact thing for a few months now after having done pretty well in the past. Hopefully we can both find that motivation and strength to get back on it full force soon. Good luck!

Bumping for later. Thanks!

Pan seared salmon with a sweet and spicy sauce, broccoli and spaghetti squash. Yumm!

Hi Ashley, I know exactly what you mean about cooking for one. The best advice I can give you for that is, take advantage of your freezer. Many prepared foods can be frozen and reheated. Another thing you could do is go grocery shopping with a friend and for things that come in packs larger than you can eat before they…

I cook a "real" dinner pretty much every night, and most of my breakfasts are "real" meals as well. LOL! Unfortunately, my lunches are usually a series of snack portions because of my work setting. My diary is open so feel free to add me and check it out if you want. I make a lot of salmon and and chicken. Ground turkey is…

Hi there! I'm 26 from Maryland. Been on MFP for a while now, but I still have about 35 pounds to lose. I have an awesome group of MFP friends so far, but I'm always looking to add it, and support anyone I can. Feel free to add me ladies!

I have loved reading all the responses to this thread! How awesome is it to read everyone's wonderful fairy tale stories!!! After finally ending a pretty unhealthy 3 1/2 year relationship with a guy I had known from high school, I had dated around quite a bit; people I knew through friends, as well as on POF and OKCupid.…

I used to be a barista at Seattle's Best Coffee. If you warm up your creamer in the mug before pouring in the coffee, it makes a little more flavorful. That being said, you might not mind skim milk or 1%. Also, they sell cartons of fat free half and half, that is thicker than skim milk so it has that effect of being more…

Just added all you guys :p

Hi! You can add me! I'm on everyday, and love having a supportive friends list.

lisal120 - I used to have that same picture as the background of my ticker :p I love that quote!!

I can definitely see the difference! You look great! You also look so much happier and more confident. Way to go for jumping in and making some big changes! I definitely know what you mean about making every excuse possible. I, too, have recently just gotten back on the horse, full throttle. Feel free to add me, I'm on MFP…

You have a very inspiring story. And believe it or not, the struggles you have gone through, and continue to go through, are not so different from those of so many others here on MFP, and all over! I'm sorry you've struggled so much, but please know that you are not alone. We are all here for the same purpose; to lose…

This. I'm no expert, and won't claim to be one. But I, too, could eat half a watermelon in one sitting. Sure it has a lot of *natural* sugars, but it's also loaded with water and other great nutrients. I think those things help to naturally balance out the sugar content. I say, if you've kept your melon addiction this long…

Man oh Man! I can totally understand your frustration! Are you seeing physical differences elsewhere on your body? Maybe the weight you've dropped has come from places other than your tummy. Also, have you been working out a lot? Maybe your tummy is still the same size but tighter? Sorry I'm not much help, but keep at it,…

Thank you so much for posting your progress. This is absolutely fantastic and truly inspirational! I hope you don't mind, but I will be using your last note as a slogan to help me reach success like yours. You should be so incredibly proud of yourself for sticking with it and hitting each smaller goal along the way. I have…

Thanks everyone! It definitely seems like more people have the Fitbit. I just recently discovered the UP and was looking into it. It looks like that has a better design in terms of not getting lost, as one of you discussed..... A friend of mine got me interested in the Fitbit One because she just got it and loves it.…

I have to agree with this... along with so many others who have written. I suffer from self esteem issues myself. Always have. And they've almost all pertained to my weight and looks. What you have to realize is, there's a reason your husband is with you, and it's not all about looks. Your husband loves you, that's why he…

My zumba instructor is a little big too. But it always astounds me how well she moves, and how fast!! She teaches 2, and often 3 zumba classes in a row a couple nights a week, at varying levels. I don't know how she does it since after one hour of her class I'm completely pooped! But I say, if you love it, and and you're…

Wow you guys, I am absolutely floored and overwhelmed with gratitude for all these responses! Thank you all so so so much! You better believe we will be spending a good part of tomorrow doing our research to find the best thing for him. You all are amazing!

Thanks! Witeowl, I've been looking into D3. I think it has some other good benefits as well. icimani, he's actually the opposite. He sleeps way too much. When he doesn't have anywhere to be, he usually sleeps between 10 and 13 hours. If he gets any less than 9 he's undersatisfied and extra tired, and if he gets less than 7…

Thank you all so much for your input!!! I will definitely be looking into those you all mentioned. I had never even heard of the 5htp so I will definitely have to do some research. He does tend to have some adverse reactions to things once in a while. The worst is iodine, and it means he can't take multivitamins, which…

You can friend me too! I could use the support as well!
-
You look great! We have similar weight goals, and I've been on a very similar weight loss track too. Helps to see your pictures because I can actually see the difference, whereas i don't really see the difference in myself. Great work!!!

Hi! We're already MFPals, but I just figured I'd shoot you a comment. I'm feeling the same way you are. I had taken about a month and a half off back in December for my birthday and many holidays, and am finding it really hard to get back on the horse. I think I'm finally starting to get back to where I need to be in terms…

I was going to ask this same question. If for whatever reason there is no way he can help with this (and even if he can) below are some things that have helped me so maybe they would help you. Some of them are just the smallest little changes, but combined, and over time, they make a big difference. - Take a walk on your…

Thank you all so much for your responses! This is all so helpful. I'm finally able to go to the grocery store tomorrow to pick up ingredients for my smoothies. I can't wait to start!
