what groups on facebook are there? I ordered and am waiting for this to come in the mail and very excited to start!! Would love to join some groups for some motivation and help along the way :smile:

Thanks for the inspiration... you are shaped just like me... this makes me feel like i can really get my bottom half looking great!!! i'm 165 right now.. and everyone tells me i don't need to loose more than 10lbs... but they don't see me in a bikini that's for sure... You look amazing!! how did you do it.. i'm killing…

So much great advice here thanks so much everyone! I'll open up my diary settings maybe some of you can tell me if i'm doing something wrong... of course yes i think my holiday splurge has extended this plateau.. but it seems like every time i'm on the crisp of breaking into the 150's something goes wrong...it very well…

Logging has been a great tool. i know some of this is from the holidays... but i'm really wanting to lock in and get to my goal. I did just recently add in some boxing to change things up.. i do tend to love to get on the elliptical... but i only do that as a warm-up to my class that i attend or if i'm not going to class i…

You guys are great.. thanks for all the advice... I do enjoy the exercise.. and i am working with a personal trainer.. i believe that's why i've gained the muscle he really is awesome. and works with me great! This week is my last week with him.. it will be 6 weeks then i'll take a short break to enjoy the holidays with my…

Thanks shannon for all your advice.. i wish i could eat more.. I lost the majority of my weight through hard work but i also had weight loss surgery and have a small stomach. I'm only doing the meal replacements through my doctor's office it was to help me get off my plateau and rearrange what i was eating before and see…

Thanks so much Yes most of my weight loss for 98 lbs has been over a year ago.. so i'm really just trying to get off this huge plateau i've been on. Really just got serious about it 3 months ago. I probably shouldn't be looking at the scale.. and more at the measurements.. yes i measured a month ago.. time to go and…

I just started with Dr. Tague and am excited.. i've only got 40 lbs to lose.. but am excited about the changes! I'd love to see the recipes you have.

I'm actually eating things that are good for me that i haven't been and that's what is cleansing!! It has made me love water again.. i can't say enough good things about this cleanse.. i'm loving that it's getting me back to the healthy eating i was doing before. That's just it most people aren't eating well and thus get…

It's not a diet.. it's a Cleanse.. and yes I'm on my 4th day and absolutely loving it!!!! IT has reminded me of all the foods i really love to eat.. and has got me finally drinking water again!! So far in 3 days i've lost 7lbs i'm so excited to see what the 7th day brings me up to. You can only do this cleanse once a…

I had the gastric sleeve surgery done on May 3rd of this year and it was the best decision of my life... i am now 71pounds down from my highest weight and loving life. The sleeve cuts 80% of your stomach away and takes away most of the hormone gremlin that controls hunger.. so i'm never hungry like i used to be.. to each…

I am on it right now.. and i love it.. it helps me so much... but I've been on it before.. you just have to have your mind set that this is just to boost your weight loss.. and still eat healthy and exercise! If you keep those in mind while you are taking this.. then it is a wonderful wonderful pill. I am on the 37.5 pill…

What an awesome job you did and what an insperation... You are just at the beginning of your adult life and how exciting to be at the right size!!!! Are there any tips you'd like to pass along that helped you out? What did you do to get such amazing results.. i know everyone loses weight differently and if we could learn…

You go girl... that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

Your wedding ring practically is about to the point you need it resized because it's almost falling off your finger :bigsmile: LOL this one's funny it happened last night.. you go out for a nice walk with your hubby and you have to tell him to walk fast because he's walking so slow.. and you challange him to a run to see…

Yes thanks a bunch.. i will have to try it tomorrow.. i have to go to a dentist appointment now.. thanks for alll your help!! :wink:

Thanks.. i thought so.. but sometimes it's hard to tell... I was hoping someone would help me or tell me how to post pictures in here... i'm sure i've seen it before but i just don't remember how.. :-)

I can't tell.. you tell me... a little i think How do you post pictures? I put it in my photo's but it's small you can't really see Holly

Are you talking about quizno's? http://www.quiznos.com/subsandwiches/Products.aspx It's on their main site... Love all the comments.. it is a reality check when we find out just how many calories we ate before!! wow and there site said the muffins.. were trans fat free... oh yeah ... we didn't tell you how many calories…

I am so shocked... i used to eat at quizno's once a week at least..:sad: and sometimes even get the large sandwich... and eat it all.. oh my gosh have you seen how much calories are in those sandwiches.. I am so proud of myself my co worker wanted to go there for lunch and i almost said yes without looking but then the…

Hi mike.. that's funny i just posted that yesterday.. It has been a little over a month and i'm 20 pounds down and feel great! My husband has also lost 17 pounds.I love MFP the reports are so great to see that you've been staying on track. It makes it so easy to track calories because you have such a great food database.…

Thanks for the extra encouragement!!! Every pound to me is a victory no matter how long it takes.. I'm thrilled and will take whatever i can get!:wink: As long as i have mfp and all of you.. i see success in my future!!

Great job.. those are great goals too.. !!!!:smile:

:smile: Thank you all for your wonderful comments. dmmarie21 i have been using slim fast snack bars and shakes or meal bars. and a good meal usually 500 calories. I have been taking in about 1200-1500 calories daily I have been having a shake in the am.. the cappicino ones are awesome especially if you are a coffee…

That's awsome it feels so get down that scale.. every little bit seems to add more and more motivation!! Congrats and keep on going!!! Holly :wink:

I'm so happy... still a long way to go.. but i love this website and all of you.. are soo motivating.. i tell everyone i know about mfp. I'm down 2 sizes and am finding myself wanting healthy choices and not junk ones. My husband has also been doing this with me and it so encouraging and motivating he too has lost 17…

I love pepsi max.. you gotta get some of your caffine that way.. I havn't had one in a month though.. The less carbonation i have in my system the better.. but if it's one of those things you have to have.. i don't think one a day is bad... maybe try to do like the others have said slowly wheen yourself to a few a week..…

wow for 5 months you can barely tell you look so great and healthy.. and a cute baby bump!!!

Also a good idea.. because i don't even notice a whole lot of changes sometimes.....take pictures of yourself in the same outfit.. i do it once a week... you can do it less often.. but then you also can see changes you never even noticed before.. and that definitely put's a different strut in your walk... hold your head…
