My biggest goal right now is to stick with c25k. I just started yesterday, and it felt really good to get out there. Secondary goals? Up and moving every weekday morning. Whether it be c25k, walking, or doing some cardio/calisthenics/yoga, if I start putting off working out, it gets later and later in the day, and then I…

Fantastic for you! That is great! Keep up the amazing work. 99 lbs, so close I bet you can taste it!

Hi all! Just joined, happy to see other ladies that want to be svelte, slim, and sassy, and not sticks! I'm 31, working my way down from a high of 230lbs, down at 200 now, and slipping out of my size 14 jeans. A few more pounds and my 12s will be comfy! I'm happy with myself as a person, I'm just excited to be really…

Just joined! Hopefully that is ok, I'd love to find some active supportive ladies to motivate/be motivated by! This morning's weight...199.6.

Honestly, at this point I'm eating SO many nutrient dense low calorie foods (lots of veggies, low calorie flavor adders like vinegar and herbs and diced sun-dried tomatoes that aren't oil packed) that I don't get non-meal or snack specific hungry. I'm eating 3 full sized meals a day (300ish calories for breakfast, 400ish…

just a thought, checkout http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/ they have some great ideas, and their cookbooks are fun too! at 13, she may be old enough to step away from some of the kid only type dishes and into the adult foods too!

Funny, I think about this a lot. I cook for my fiance and my father, and usually serve us about the same amount. Frequently, I clean my plate, as does my father, but my fiance does not. My fiance and I are both watching what we eat and tracking, but he eats more snacks than I do, eats bigger lunches, and drinks things with…

Mine is open to my friends, partially because it helps me to hold myself accountable, knowing that I am not the only person who will see it. I also have it open because I'm a vegan, and it is nice to show folks how much variety I have in my diet and what tasty foods I eat, when so many people assume that it is tremendously…

That I'm managing to motivate as many of my friends and my family as I am! 2 friends and a sister have already started working out and watching their diet after watching my excitement.

Do what makes you happy, what helps you get through this time. I am SO sorry for what you, your brother, and your family are going through. When my brother had a heart attack, about a year ago, it was an extremely severe one. He was unconscious and under a chilling regimen to try to mitigate brain damage, if he did regain…

I have the Professional Series 500. I LOVE it. I make creamed soups all the time, it's great, a handful of steamed veggies, some broth, spices, and you're good to go! I add in some cashews for protein sometimes. Most days I use mine twice, once to make a smoothie (smoothest I've ever made) and once to make soups or sauces…

Oh good god. I have a tea obsession. If I had to estimate, I probably have about 150 kinds of tea in my tea closet. Yes, I have a tea closet. Yes, tea does get old, and I know I have too much. That said, I primarily drink green tea in the morning, keeping a variety in it. I love lightly flavored green teas as part of my…

Best of luck to you! I started about 2 years ago slowly losing weight, and went from 228 down to 203, up to 210, down to 205, up to 210, down to 204, you get the picture. In the last month, I got serious about wanting to get rid of the weight and started using MFP everyday, and working out on a regular basis, and I'm down…

Welcome and good luck!

Good luck! Lesson 1) Don't be discouraged if the scale stalls. Look for your other truimphs, like doing steps without losing your breath, how your close are fitting, how you feel. Lesson 2) Life is an adventure, live it. If you do something you know you shouldn't (taco bell, a soda, and ice cream on the way home), forgive…

Good luck to both of you! My fiance and I are losing weight together, even though he works in a different state and stays at a friend's place during the week. He's down 15 pounds since we started encouraging each other, and I'm down 10. Encouragement on here is wonderful, but nothing beats keeping up with the love of your…
-
Wishing you both the best of luck! It does take a little work to use MFP. When I started, I had quite a few foods I had to enter, but it lessened as time went on, and I've built up my catalog of recipes I use commonly as well. If the two of you take turns entering food you both eat, it becomes much easier. I'd say it takes…

I don't usually log my daily activities, unless it is something exceptional, and then I don't give myself full credit. I worry more about my actual workouts. However, yesterday I spent 30 minutes walking around a little amish market, 40 minutes walking around a local garden place picking out new plants for the garden, took…

I'm a lazy vegan, as in if I'm out, and my choices are a dish with dairy in it or french fries and a side salad, I'll eat the dairy, and I don't beat myself up for little things like foods my mom cooks like her stuffed shells with cheese. I haven't eaten meat in about 2 years though. It really isn't hard, and I feel…

Congratulations! You look wonderful! I liked reading your "how you did it", good ideas!
-
i'm re-piercing my ears, one hole for each 10 lbs lost (i owe myself three right now!) and getting my new tattoo at my goal weight.
-
feel free to add me if you'd like! i've got about 65-75 more lbs to lose and i'd love to have somebody else to compare notes and share encouragement with.
-
FANTASTIC JOB!! You look great. Really wonderful.
-
I saw you're closed, but if anything comes up, or people drop out or whatnot, I'd love to join, I wish I'd seen this earlier!

Personally, I can understand your fears of overanalyzing if you weigh in too frequently, but I do weigh in daily. Every morning, after I go to the bathroom, after I walk the dogs, as I'm feeding them I hop on the scale. I'm still usually in my pajamas. I weigh in everyday, because I'd rather see the strange fluctuations. I…

Request sent, and great job so far! I'd love to have some new friends on here as well for anybody who'd like to friend me. I'm 31, and I've lost 10 lbs on mfp, 25 lbs overall. I JUST realized that is actually at least 25% of the way to my goal from my top weight and that is pretty exciting.
