Well I am very proud of all the effort you have made to get fit and healthy. Trust me I have seen it and I am very proud. I'm just a big believer in the food journal...even if it's just for a week or two to help you get an idea of what your trouble areas are in terms of food, what time of day you are most likely to over…

Congratulations!! I hope to be in your shoes someday soon. I, too, have struggled to lose weight most of my life, but this website makes it feel that much easier and helps you feel like it's not overwhelming, it's not impossible, and most importantly that there are no more excuses not to do it! Seeing people like you lose…

It's amazing to see how even your skin looks healthier. That could also be b/c it was January and the new you was taken in August so you may have that healthy tan goin on but still...I'd like to think it's also because you are healthier!

I wrote a blog about the same thing :) lol. Here it is if you're interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/asking131/view/first-weekend-trip-since-starting-mfp-39253

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I checked multiple websites and they all were closer to the one on the website I shared then MFP. I just offered up that website because they have tons of calculators and I thought it was a good website. They also have information about walking, running, strength training, etc. that is…

my goals are: To be able to jog for at least 5 minutes straight by the end of the month ( I have never been able to jog) To go from working out 3 days a week to 4 days a week.

Count me in as well.

I will try to be able to jog for five straight minutes. I have never been able to run before...I've always had trouble breathing and I know it's been weight related. So hopefully by the end of the month I will be able to do it!

I'm afraid to see what happens when I have to go out of town in Oct & Nov and am living out of hotels for 3 weeks [/quote] Yeah, what i usually have to do is make a listing of all the food at all the fast food places I like and the amount of calories in each thing i like. This helps me keep on track a lot better than if…

I would love to join the group as well...if its not too late

Thanks!! Yes, you are absolutely right. I have tried these online calculators before and it was so exacerbating. They wouldn't have a lot of the foods I ate so I would constantly have to look it up before I put anything in my mouth. That made me a little obsessive and by two weeks I was just exhausted by it. I feel like…

You look beautiful...you should be very proud. 46 lbs is nothing to sneeze at. I remember back when I used to watch biggest loser, they used to have people carry the weight they lost around during one of the challenges. It's amazing when you see what even 15 lbs looks like when its laid out in front of you. Imagine 46!
