Hope you don't do that on the road.

I personally think that time spent planning is never wasted. There are times you have to just do it.... 7Ps Proper Prior Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance

IF only I had that money to spare. :)

Thank you. This is usually the kind of stuff I post on my blog, but decided this time to post on the community forums. I am glad this post was of interest to people. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Katanthus Best wishes, Time management and multitasking maniac

I think that is THE key to success here, accountability. People quite often fail, because they want someone else to take responsibility for their bad eating. That is the reason there are so many "quick fix" diets out there claiming you can eat what you want, do what you did, and get different results. Well, Einstein said…

On 31st March, I set a goal of 100lb to lose. I have lost 20lb so far, and 57". I still have a long way to go, but MFP is keeping me going. Good luck to all

It is now day 73, and the story so far: 59 inches and 21lbs GONE!

I wish you all the very best on your journey to a healthier happier you.

Waterbunnie, I don't intend to abandon MFP WHEN I get to my goal, because I WILL get there. I will be with you every step of the way. Thank you for your friendship and support, friend.

Thank you all for your best wishes. I was reluctant at first to post this, as I have found it very difficult to admit to anyone my weight, and was embarrassed. I really wrote it for me. You know they say things can be cathartic to release, and I guess that is why I did it. I am not looking for anything from the posting,…

I was not fully awake when I wrote that. I pressed too many 0s, I guess it was wishful thinking. I meant 1000 glasses.

I have not had 70,000 calories, which is equal to: 10,000 glasses of champagne. Now THAT is some party! HIC

Lexy, what I wrote did not make sense, sorry. I corrected it. I meant to say that the reason I have not lost a lot of weight, I was told was because I was probably building muscle.

Thank you. I didn't lose anything at first, but lost size, so I must have been building muscle.

I read this about knees, as I have been rehabilitating an injured knee for months now: "The accumulated reduction in knee load for a 1-pound loss in weight would be more than 4,800 pounds per mile walked," writes researcher Stephen P. Messier, PhD, of Wake Forest University. "For people losing 10 pounds, each knee would be…

Amazing progress. I have to agree with you about women won't go swimming because they can't wear bikinis. What is wrong with a beautiful one piece suit? I think age and size appropriate swimwear is far more attractive. Fantastic job on the weight loss, best wishes continuing your journey to a healthier and happier you.

THE best cat litterbox ever, is the LitterRobot, if you can afford it. It is well worth the money. It automatically cleans the box, by rotating itself. You pull out a drawer, grab the trash bag, and throw it in the bin. Replace trash bag, and you are done. It uses less litter, saves time, and there is no smell. Tried all…

Well said. Fat is a substance, not what you are. You are a woman, man, person, mother, daughter, friend, lover, girlfriend or boyfriend, husband, but you are NOT fat. Fat is what you are trying to lose. Yes, I am "touchy" about the word, because despite not being overweight for most of my life, I was called fat...by my…

Welcome to all newcomers! You have come to the right place. I have been logging for 60+ days, and lost 16.6lb, and 36". Yes.. 36 inches. If you have a good supportive group of friends, it is possible. Mutual support helps motivate you enormously. Best wishes

I keep my fitness and health stuff away from Facebook. I want to lose the weight, get healthy, then post photographs, and make them all wonder how I did it. You watch, they will all want to get off the couch then. Thinking there is a miracle weight loss program out there. The other thing is, people try to derail you. You…

I play WoW, been playing pretty much since it came out. Also playing Diablo III.

Hi, I am a transplanted Brit... now living in Florida.

You truly are an inspiration! You look fantastic!! Well done.

I believe, that one step is either your left or right foot.

I guess I am just saying what others have said. You have made a difference already... you are HERE. As for exercise, as others have said... water is the way to go if you have injuries or joint pain. I could not walk unaided back in October, now I can walk almost 6k steps a day. I have been in the pool on my good days and…

I know we rely so much on numbers. I was getting so frustrated... I went from a size 22 to a size 14 jeans, and only lost 1lb. Yet, I want to see those bloody numbers go down on the evil scale. Well done! by the way.

Emswanson, thank your for posting this. I decided not to weight myself nearly a month ago, because I was not losing weight. I was told by a number of people I have "lost weight", but I think they mean size. I know I was a size 22 a few months back, and now can fit in size 14 jeans, but have lost all of 1lb in the last…
