EXACTLY!!!!

I am so tired of the weight loss battle. I wish being thin, healthy, and fit wasn't so freaking hard and unenjoyable. It's like to have the body I want I have to constantly hate the process. And once I get there I swear I'll never gain again but I just love food and hate dieting. I can never seem to make it a lifestyle…

Way to go! I'm always proud of myself when I get the workout done early so I can stop stressing about it the rest of the day.

Yes! They are so much better!

I am having a hard time this week! Last week 1000 Calories was easy. This week even with the 168 fasting I can"t seem to keep under 1200 even. But the good thing is, even at 1300ish and with increased activity I'm doing better than I was before I started and eating less. Probably just won't see huge results. I am keeping…

I just started last Saturday, tomorrow is my first eat up day. Where are you at?

Is is about to be that time of the month by any chance? I say give it a day and then weigh yourself again. It may be just water or muscle gain. Also, sometimes our bodies don't always do what we want them to. Ignore the scale keep following the plan and I bet next week you will see a nice loss again.

I'm a little too good at contests. I just did a Biggest Loser Contest in 2013 but practically killed myself to win. Then I was so exhausted I gained 22 of the 30 pounds I worked so hard to lose back! So, I'm staying away from the contests for now ha. Glad there are a few of us here who are active on MFP. So far I am trying…

I'm here and just started as you know. I'm doing OK on my 1000 calorie days so far by just doing what the manual recommended and stopping eating at 7:30PM and resuming eating at 11:30 the next day. It really makes staying at 1000 calories much easier. Well, it has for the past 3 days at least :). My husband and I are…

Glad to hear it! I need to convince myself to do the workout. But so far I'm doing well on the diet portion. It's just day 3 for me but I feel like I can do this!

Well, I'm due May 29th, 2012 with my second child and I refuse to gain 45 lbs again!!! Please, show me how it's done ladies. I'm exhausted and I tend to get lazy with exercise and diet when I'm tired. I MUST BE STRONGER THIS TIME!

My thoughts exactly :)

5'8" and 145lbs I'm about 155lbs now though and pretty dang happy! I was 215lbs when I had my daughter! When I'm thin/sizei8 I'm 135lbs but I'm happy and able to stay at 145lbs if I try. Well before kids I could. I'm about to try for #2 so it will be awhile before I can get to a weight and maintain. As long as it doesn't…

I was a size 14/16, L/XL shirt when I was that weight and I'm 5'8"

My daughter's name starts with a J And my potential future daughter's name will start with a K :)

Dr. Oz says time and time again to eat the whole egg. He says like an apple a day an egg a day will do you good. So I do One whole egg and then a couple egg whites.

Awesome, thanks!

I am honestly allergic to exercise. If my outside temps are too cold when I heat up during exercise I break out in hives. it's awful, itchy and painful. When I run I feel like I'm going to die. Even just taking a 15 minute walk does it to me. There are two types of this allergy. Usually when I work out inside I'm OK. My…

It's hard! I gave up my active lifestyle for my lazy husband. And now it seems the more I try to better myself the lazier he gets and harder he makes my life! I think he's unintentionally sabotaging me and being an *kitten* :p

I'm in!!! 170lbs today.

Same goal!!! Started at 179lbs and I want to be 150/145lbs by the 3rd week in July!

Yes, please share with us, how did you do it?

Yikes! I just looked at my sodium and it is insane! I honestly have not paid attention to it at all. I also made 2 not so fresh/processed food/packed of sodium meals for my family's dinner this last week. I think I'll let my husband eat the rest of the leftovers since he's the one that won't eat healthy :p I think I'm…

Thanks for the welcome! It's my 5 year anniversary today and I'm going out for sushi! I think it is definitely a cheat day :)

Hooray a group for me!!! Stay at home mom to a 20 month old. Getting healthy before trying for another. Has anyone else noticed as you try to eat healthier and exercise more the house and chores suffer? Could just be me I guess hahaha. I'm on week 3 of my lifestyle change and I'm trying to improve all sorts of areas of my…
