I would wear a dress of a dark color, not black per se. Perhaps a burgundy or a dark green color... best of luck. Hope this helps!

I'd suggest eating the amount of calories MFP recommends after your workout. Try to get to 0 as possible throughout the day. The faster you lose it, the easier you put it on. You shouldn't lose too much weight too quickly. Best of luck, Ryan!!

Hey Ryan, My best advice would be to plan your meals daily and drink LOTS of water. Also, try to research foods that keep you fuller longer, at least at the beginning so that your stomach will shrink a little bit. You will definitely see a difference utilizing this website. There are very supportive members, and if you…

AGREED!!!

You should try to stay in the GREEN, but don't eat less than 1200 calories/day. Try to eat what MFP has calculated for you. Hope this helps. Best of luck, honey!!

Read the book "Why Men Love B*tches." (But actually spell out the word) It will lift you up a bit, and put a different perspective on some things. My ex and I broke up after 5 years and he married the first 240 lb girl that looked his way. Do yourself a favor-- don't lose sleep or calories over it. Life goes on. You're…

This website does the calculation work for you. Try to utilize this website as much as you can. Use the "tools" section above.

She's absolutely right. If you don't eat the calories you burn, your body goes into starvation mode and you will not lose weight!!! Also, it could very well be that you are losing inches, not weight. The fact remains that you could be losing fat, but gaining muscle-- which isn't a bad thing at all when you think about it,…

Most people who are trying to lose weight know which foods to eat: foods with a ton of FIBER! It keeps you fuller for longer, but do yourself a favor-- don't eat less than 1200 calories a day. Your body needs a MINIMUM of 1200 calories a day to function properly. Don't listen to these people that are under their calories--…

I have to be honest-- I eat fast food probably about 3-4 times a week, but I will always order either a salad or a grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo, and I'll usually only eat 1/2 the bun. You can eat fast food as often as you like as long as you modify it a little bit and stay within your calorie range. Believe it or…

VERY TRUE!! It's all about the face. We all have proof that a body can be changed through hard work-- a face cannot without major surgery.

LOL! Sorry for all the reposting of the quotes, but do I do Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for the next 10 days, Level 3 for the last 10 days?

Am I supposed to do the whole DVD? It's an hour?

I'm starting the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred tonight!! Yes, on a Friday, don't make fun-- Fat doesn't burn itself!

You and I are in exactly the same situation. As soon as I get down into my 150s, I slip up and veg out. I don't know if it's because I feel like I should be rewarding myself or if I'm just so excited that I eat to celebrate. I think the 2 of us just have to remember to stick with it. The idea of not weighing yourself for…

That starting weight/ goal weight picture is awesome!! How did you get that?

Thanks for the tip!

Welcome to MFP!! This is a great website with very supportive people!! My best advice, especially as a member on this site: UTILIZE IT!! Take advantage of the calorie counter, food database, comments, questions, and concerns on posts!! Everyone wants to see you succeed. Best of luck to you!!

Thanks for all of your feedback. Hitting the grocery store today after work. I bought the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels. Today is Day 1. Wish me luck!!

You've done it once, you can do it again!! Stay positive!! Best of luck!!

3.5 pounds is A LOT of weight to lose per week!! That's not terribly healthy. Try going a little slower. The slower you take it off, the harder it ist o put back on.

It sounds like you were on the right track. What's bothering you? Perhaps counting calories isn't the way you ought to lose weight. Incorporating more exercise or just changing your eating habits all together might help. Drink more water, cut out pop completely. Try not to eat processed foods. Shop the perimeter of the…

This could very well be my problem. I eat A LOT of fruit, especially lately!!! My sugar consumption usually is higher than it should be according to MFP. What should I eat instead? I usually need on-the-go foods. Any ideas?

You are FANTASTIC!! Thanks for the great post so early in the AM!!! XOXOX!!

Routine is key when losing weight. What you need to do is have your plans set in stone on what you will do on the weekends. If you're going to see your boyfriend, it may be a good idea to plan what you'll eat beforehand. Pack some food, or even log in what you'll eat on MFP before you eat it so that you know your limit.…

Some friends are jealous that you could potentially get to your goal weight and look better than they do. They're referred to as "frenemies." Don't let her discourage you. I have actually had friends that stopped talking to me because I lost so much weight. They said that I looked annorexic, used to tease me saying that I…

Hey!! Welcome to MFP! This is a great site to help you with all of your concerns, questions, and stories of your weightloss!! A few things that might help you: The MFP application for your phone will help greatly if you have that as an accessible feature. It is very accurate!! Also, I just wanted to throw out there:…

Saliva - "Click, click, boom!" Christina Aguilera - "Fighter"

That's awesome!!

Honestly, I would say to eat dinner, like usual, and just choose not to partake in any of the 'unhealthy' foods. A piece of cake WON'T kill you if that's all you eat while at the party. Just remember not to pig out.
