  • I just got mine on 3 days ago and I love it already!!! I lost 90lbs using just a generic step counter then I lost it and stopped exercising and eating right and gained 40 lbs back. "not just because I lost the step counter" but now that I have something back in my pocket it motivates me even more. I actually like the sleep…
  • Don't measure your progress in weight loss measure your progress in how you feel, how your clothes feel, and the complements you get from others. I lost 90lbs and gained back 40 over the winter months and I still have people at work telling me I look slimmer. That helps me to get back on track. Don't throw in the towel I…
  • I think it should be a personal choice...the one time I got the flu shot I was sick within a week and I had a neverending cold all winter long.
  • When I started with my weightloss I only logged what I ate no calories. I just used a notebook. I started changing my eating habits and started to walk and some weight training at home. In 5 weeks I lost 35 lbs. I didn't weight myself once in that time. I was seeing a doctor so that is when I would weigh in. I knew I was…
  • My name is Rebecca and I have always been called Becky which I don't mind but I really really dislike Becca. I let ppl call me that once but the 2nd time they are in a for a fight. I had a boss once try to guess my middle name which I told her started with a B and ended with a T and from then on out she called me Rebecca…
  • I understand how frustrating it can be. I would say take a picture of yourself then in a month take another one because you won't always notice the difference in yourself because you look at yourself everyday. It is coming from somewhere and even though you don't see it now you might wake up one day and go holy crap my…
  • Awesome job!!! gives me some extra motivation to keep going. I started at 471 and am almost to my 100 lbs lost mark. I have started some lifting and would love some great advice so I can end up with some muscles and not just flabby arms, legs, and stomach.
  • I was on WW in high school with my mom and I didn't learn anything about eating healthy and I only had the support at meetings which in between I would just eat the crap I ate before. With MFP I have support everyday. I know if I eat junk food then my pals are going to see and if I don't want them to see then I don't eat…
  • I am not a big soda drinker anymore. I do drink a Diet Mtn Dew once in a while and when I do I feel the need for sugar is around the corner so I agree. You may not be getting the calories but I think it affects what you crave. Great job on quiting diet soda, the weight loss and good luck on the run.
  • While losing lbs on the scale is awesome those little NSV's seem to keep me motivated the most. I love when someone who hasn't seen me in a while says how great I look and when my coworkers who see me almost everyday say it..it means more. I am proud of you and relish those NSV's and here is to many many more.
  • I can tell by your pictures that you look different in both. You could be just losing some inches and not weight. Don't sweat it. I have stalled out a lot over the past year. It is just getting back on the horse and having the support of those around you. I have some great friends on here to keep me motivated and support…
  • Awesome job and keep with it. I know that same feeling when I went shopping in my closet. Now most of those clothes don't fit as well. Keep working and it will come!!!!

  • I use the iheartradio app when I am at the gym on my smartphone but I tend to see people answering phone calls while on the elpitical or that same woman doing some lifting and putting her phone down to do the exercise then picks up the phone again and starts talking. I don't know about you but I am at the gym to get…
  • It will be 7 years smoke free in April for me and I went cold turkey. You have to be ready and commited to smoking. I learned I had to stop going to places that I wanted to smoke. I stopped going to bars with friends, I limited my time around smokers. The worst part was when I was DJ in a place that allowed smoking. Just…
  • Right now I am using gum as my distraction. Seems like if I am chewing on something then my brain or whatever it is that makes me want to eat satifed.
  • You can add me as well. This is a wonderful site!!! I have lost 72 lbs using it!!
  • I love bumper stickers and if it weren't for me being a mobile DJ where I need to have a good appreance even on my truck I would have them plastered. On my old F-150 I had quite a few and my boss use to tell trainees that were meeting me at the show to just look for the red truck and when they would say there are a bunch…
  • OMG to funny and I love all the comments...:laugh:
  • Awesome NSV!!!! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
  • When I started I only weighed in when I went back to see my doctor which was every 5 weeks and there was a lot of excitment built up. To see the large number was awesome but now I weigh in every week at home on Mondays at 10 am. If I am not home at that time I just skip that week. I do cheat and weigh in other days of the…
  • Awesome job!!!!! Glad you realized that you can only change you and not someone else. I think we all struggle with that. You will find that knight in shinning armor and that man will not only love you for you but also your children. Keep up the good work you look great.
  • Call up the person who owes you money and ask if you can borrow some money to help pay your bills. Maybe she will forget she owes you the money and lend it to you. Then you would have been paid back and when she asks for it back tell her she was repaying the debt. I have learned to not lend money I will not get back as…
  • Don't give up.I have been giving up my whole life and I have started this site among other things and you just need some really good friends to keep you motivated to keep losing. I use this site, my family, my friends, and my coworkers to keep me motivated. You will have bad days, weeks, even months I have but it is…
  • That is awesome news. I am told that inches will fall before weight. I just saw a friend I haven't seen in a month or so and she told me that my face looked thinner...that makes it all worth while. Keep up the good work.
  • Awesome JOB!!!!:smile:
  • Awesome news!!!! Since June I have gotten into all of my clothes I had in the closet even some I was never able to wear before ever...it is a great feeling and then the look from the hot guy...must of sent you over the edge. Feels great doesn't it. I love when someone who hasn't seen me in a while tells me how great I…
  • I have battled with depression my whole life. One minute I am on a high because I lost weight and the next I am feeling so down about something in my life that I just want it to be over. I think a lot of ppl with weight problems have depression. My weight management doctor wants me to see a therpist and I have been…
