That's good to know! If I can add tea, coffee, juice and milk, I can easily make it to 8 cups per day. :smile: I thought they had to be pure neat water. In that case, I can't never drink more than 6. Counting water in fruit and veggies is to difficult, so I will skip it in the calculation. Thank you for sharing!…

The OC! Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

^This!!!! I have no problem with the yolk, but egg whites... I started to puke them when I was 6 months old and still I have to puke them after 30 years :wink:

Awesome :heart:

All those dresses are gorgeous!!!! I still have to choose mine. We didn't decide the date yet, and it might get cold! But you are giving me great ideas :smile:

You girls are so brave! I will be totally embarrassed having someone taking boudoir pics of me. I mean, I will be embarrassed even if I was in perfect shape and I'm not :happy: Furthermore, I think my bf will be too jealous to actually have someone else looking at me, even if (s)he is a professional

I always add my spices. I agree that 5-20 calories make no difference. But my goal is not only watching out for calories, but mainly for sodium (physician recommendation). And some of them have a lot of sodium :frown:

Having MFP friends keeps me motivated! And they give me great suggestions too. Most of my real friends don't get why I am trying to lose weight or to be more healthy. Here I found people that are going through the same experience right now. Feel free to add me :flowerforyou: Once you will add friends, you won't go back…

I've been to Mariposa last year. That town is so cute :smile:

SoCal: OC! :glasses: All Californians (and not :tongue: ) feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

Born and raised in Italy until I was 30 :wink: For 19 years in Bergamo and for 11 years in Bologna. I moved to California 20 months ago :smile:

Big support available here!!!! Don't be too hard on yourself. You already decided to change. That's the biggest step!!! Start trying to follow the easiest steps. Count your calories, drink all your water and do whatever exercise you can do. You can do this!!!! Feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

Hi Lisa, Welcome to MFP!!! :flowerforyou: Friends can be a good boost here for some extra support and motivation. One of my favorite sentence here is "I'm not on a diet, I'm improving my lifestyle!" Feel free to add me :smile:

Parents sometimes are funny. Every time my mother sees me, she has to make some comments on the fact that I gained weight :indifferent: Then she feeds me like if I am 4 people and she gets offended if I don't finish whatever is in my plate because "there are kids starving out there" :grumble: Anyhow, don't beat yourself up…

I'm 33 and I live in SoCal. I'll be happy to be your friend! Add me if you want!

I think you are not eating enough. If your body enters into starvation mode, you will accumulate instead of losing. Try to eat all your calories. Probably you need even more than 1200. And if you exercise you should eat all your burned calories back. Furthermore, losing weight is not the only thing. During my first 3 weeks…

It should be 1 cup = 8 oz I am already having problem with it :angry: so I really hope it's not 8 pints :drinker:

5'3" and 122. My goal is 110, but maybe it's unrealistic. I will just be happy with a sort of flat tummy. In 3 weeks I didn't lose any weight, but I went down of 2" on my waist! Let's do it together ladies! Everybody, feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

Same here!!! Clean feet and not stinky shoes... And of course shaved and clean everywhere else :glasses: And I also hide my bra and panties... Don't want the doctor to know which kind of underwear I wear. It doesn't matter if it's granny's panties or sexy lingerie. :wink:

Being Italian I'm a big fan of pasta, of course. The classic one with tomato sauce always works. Steamed broccoli is my favorite. Meat in the pasta is very rare. The so-called spaghetti bolognese (which btw do not exist in Italy and I lived 11 years in Bologna :explode: ) are an exception. We use the bolognese sauce on…

Feel free to add me :)

It seems I'm one of the few that will say no. At the very beginning, especially at the first date, appearances count, at least for me. And a divorce or kids will not be appealing for me. On the same hand, I will not go out with a guy with a sloppy way to dress up or a not clean one. Or with a lower degree than me. Maybe my…

Don't be scare! Nobody will judge you here :) I joined 3 weeks ago and the only thing I got back was a lot of encouragement :) Notice that in this 3 weeks I didn't lose an ounce. But I feel better with myself after that I started exercise, and I also received some suggestions on what I might have done wrong, like not…

I think it really depends from which cheese they are using and how much! You should ask them or check on their website if they have one!

You can add me as well! Extra support is always welcome :smile:

Southern California, but I was born and raised in Italy!

Hi! I'm quite new here on MFP. I don't want to lose so much weight as many of you. 11 pounds for me would be more than OK. I just would like to be a little bit more tonic. Really I don't like my fluffy tummy. I hope that having some friends here will help me to stick with my exercises. I admit it: I'm lazy! :embarassed:…
