Generally I've managed to fit everything in...it may not be the best choice health wise but at least I meet the calories goals. Having said that, LOVE adding at least a touch of Barbecue sauce to meat so at least there's a touch of flavor. And I love breads, nothing beats a good bread from a bakery with real taste not just…

I love the way one previous poster looks through the previous days when they were on target to remind themselves that they can do it. Love it. I'm going to try that too to remind myself that the good days vastly outnumber the bad ones. Bad ones happen occasionally....special occasions pop up but the important thing is the…

Love, love, love mine. Wasn't sure if I would because I've used other pedometer-type things before and would either fall apart or just would taper off. Here's what Ilike.....it's super comfortable to wear and stays on really well. I often foget that it's there and don't worry about it falling off, even if I'm playing…

If it helps, I love my Fitbit. It tracks calories burns and steps. Most of my time I do walk but I run and play soccer too. I always worry that I'll overestimate my calories using MFP's estimates----my soccer games might last 60 minutes but I'm probably not running the whole time. I guess I'd rather underestimate than…

It'll work but maybe not immediately. If your calorie intake is less than your calorie output, the weight will come off eventually. As to weighing yourself daily, I do too....but I have to keep in mind that there can besome variations from day to day. Also, one thing that was a huge change for me was the amount of exercise…

I weigh myself daily because I think not weighing myself allowed me to be slightly delusional about being overweight. While I know that there can be some variations each day, it helps me keep on track and actually helps keep me on track. This last week has been hard due to a family birthday and a whole lot of bad-for-you…

I had a similiar experience yesterday, in putting something in that I was unsure of in terms of calorie count. It wasn't something I was going to eat often so I just put in the higher calorie amount but I probably would've felt differently if it was something I was planning to eat regularly. Having said that, I'd feel…

Me too! Buddies are better for support!

"The only thing you CAN do is the best you can right now. And all you could do THEN was the best you could do at that time. That was the best we could do. Now we can do better." I love this. And the part about saying "I have fat" instead of "I am fat." I so often get mad at myself for having put on this amount of weight. I…

I love your response! Thanks for making me smile. You're right, Im not sure when my weight loss became their concern. The diet is going well and while I of course I'd love to lose 5 pounds a week, that would be unsustainable and probably unhealthy. But I know I'm going in the right direction and doing theright thing.…

Feel free to add me if you like!

I'd love to have new friends! I've just started recently and could definitely use the support!

Me too! Just started and today is literally my first day. I'm glad to get started on losing the weight but it's hard at the moment. It's the end of a long day and I thought I did pretty good but now that I sat down,I'm missing being able to get more food to eat! I could use some support and friends too. I'm starting at 203…
