For the buffets, something I've always done is get a salad first. A BIG salad. Take some time eating it. That way, by the time you get to eating the other unhealthy food, you'll be a little fuller.

Hey, I saw this on my Yahoo! It's a great article,t hanks for reminding me of it!

Thankfully, my mom lost all the weight and hasn't gained any back. She got a tummy tuck (and a boob job :drinker:) in celebration of losing 100 pounds. Even though I'm proud of her, I still don't want to go down that road. On the plus side, I just weighed myself, and I've lost another pound this week- and I weighed right…

Hey, I don't have work hours, but we condense a whole year of school into 6 weeks- it's intense. We're responsible for whatever work isn't done in class (which amounts to about 5-6 hours a night, not including class hours). Thankfully, for the first 3 weeks, I'm in a shortened class, and I only go from 7-10 AM, instead of…

Wow! Congrats. Going below 200 is my goal for June 10th.. I never want to be in the 200s again. My mom got up to 249 before she caved and had gastric bypass. Sometimes I thought about just gaining the 40 pounds and having but, I went "WHAT? MAN, I'M TOO YOUNG FOR THIS. I CAN DO IT." All I have to do is look at her now. She…

LOL, I don't even have my license- I walk anyways. =D

Ack, summer school started and working out is going to be harder. I already screwed up today, going out to breakfast with my mom, then letting my dad talk me into eating a piece of Chocolate Creme Pie. And I haven't even exercised. ARGH. I better do better tomorrow.

Bathtub PLAY DOH? I've never heard of it.

Did you hear about the two peanuts walking down the street? ONE WAS ASSAULTED!

Good luck! How old is your daughter?

Arsh, I've been sick for a week and a half, but today I'm going to try to get moving. *pokes siggy* Yeah, I started on a journey, and it almost seems like I won't finish in time. Oh well. Anyways, I'm off to ride my bike, since I feel a little better. I start school on Monday, but I want to get back in the habit of riding…

Wooh, hallelujah to this thread. My mom gets angry if I ask if I can make my own dinner, because she makes just HORRIBLE stuff (not taste, just unhealthy). She's a pro cook, and so she never really worried about fats or anything, she just puts it in. So then she mentioned what we were having for dinner, and I asked if I…

Uck, I've been sick with a wicked cold the past few days. I can't go a minute without coughing, then coughing gives me a headache, on and on. Ick. Then, of course, it gets hot where I live (it hit 102 on Sunday) and it's just nasty to exercise in. Consequently, I haven't been exercising lately, and I feel like a lazy slug.…

Some people decided to make teams, similar to The Biggest Loser (but with a lot more people on teams). It's a way of staying motivated. Sometimes there are challenges (to drink so many glasses of water, exercise so many hours, etc) to keep you going. I'm on the Blue Team. Other than that, I hope you like the site (it's…

Ah, shoot- I'm one of the naughty ones. I'm at 201 this week

LOL, I've got tons of work to do, and going to try to hang out with my friends. I've been so busy they've sorta been pushed aside the last 2 weeks. Party at my house! =D jk.

That's great. Maybe I should switch to 1400 a day, it's only 100 extra calories, but I would probably feel fuller and be a little less stressed.

When I do run-walks, I like to sprint instead of run, it gets your heart rate up (like interval training) and if you go fast enough, it gives you a great feeling (sort of like you're flying).

Welcome! Hope you achieve all the goals you set. It may take awhile, but never give up! :smile:

Wow, everybody. Thanks for the great responses. I love MFP because of the huge support system here. And yeah ngwife- My PE teacher makes us run if we don't get our mile time under 9:30. And when we do running drills, if we don't do it right, we run one lap under 2:00, or we don't get water. It's enough to make you hate…

lol, i play the cello and i love to play rock songs on it. =D i rock on my cello.

As anyone tried Yaz? My mom really wants to put me on it, but I'm not sure. I've got horrible periods, lasting for a month, and then I'll stop for a year, bleed for a few days, stop for a few weeks, then have another one! It's horrible. My mom's tried to get me to use birth control, but I'm not sure about it now. Does…

Are you guys open to new members, or no? I'd like to join.

I find this funny, since I just had a Strawberry PB and J for dinner. It was very good.

Is there anyway I can join the team?

Suddenly, darkness fell

For the past few days, I have had such horrible stomach cramps, I can't eat. I literally mean I can't eat. I have not eaten since Friday morning. I have consumed ZERO calories. I know this is bad, but I can't eat. I've managed to get down some water, but it's hard to get anything else down. Is it bad to go zero calories…

I agree with Lucky, it's a lifestyle change. When I want to eat something sweet, I have a little of it.
