i love this show!!! i recommend that everyone watch it. its quite eye-opening

im going to give myself a cheat days on the main holiday dates themselves but go right back to it the day after. i know i cant control myself otherwise.... and i dont want to look like the freak :(

I can relate to this so much!!! Thank you for sharing

I just touch 5'2" with a super small bone structure - and my ultimate goal weight is 115 but really, i would be happy to hit anything lower than 130. i've got a long way to go....

I dont know how much fiber i need either. I am alwayssssss constipated. My doc told me to up my fiber. I upped it to 25g per day (nothing) --> 30g per day (nothing --> 45g per day --> up to 52g per day (with the help of supplements)... and still no change. And these were not temp changes. I did every step for at least a…

i got mine from walmart too (for around $100) - but it was really flimsy and is broke now.... i can still get on and run but nothing else works... no settings, no resistance, not even the screen turns on. I would say to invest a bit more money for a better one. not in the thousands, but a couple of hundreds?

me too --- i am about to round the 40lbs mark and i still feel fat. LIke you said, there are def changes and I know and see them - clothes are loose, sizes down, less flab, etc.... but i dont feel any different. Somehow, i thought i would FEEL it and be this all-confident person once i am smaller but that didnt happen.…

im not lactose intolerant either. I prefer almond milk over cow's milk any day though!!! almond milk just tastes better to me.... and for a lot less claories. im not too sure on whether it is healthier... but it is lower in calories and that is good enough for me. lol I use it in everything that calls for milk - cereal,…

Smile!!! great weight loss!!! you look fantastic :-)

I'll join.... but ive been on a serious plateau for a while now :-( I want to be 15lbs down by New Years.... lets do it!!!

This is a whole lotta interesting....... in for the fireworks :)

^^^ this is my exact list too.... emphasis on all the chocolate items. I can eat TWO to THREE bags of those without even knowing. lol

When I dont have school (on break or during the summer/winter) I do 30DS every day. When I have classes, I have to severely limit my exercise because I have no time and energy.... I only go to the gym at school on Thursdays where I do 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical and then about half an hour of strength with the…

I'm on meds.... and they ALL make me sick. but i have a pretty extreme case of PCOS >>> but ive read of a lot of success stories that say you can do it without meds!!!! I think it can def be done. you just need to keep in mind that you will experience different progress. It might be slower than regular people, but dont get…

weekends are a nightmare for me. about 2-3 days of out of control eating with family and friends. For each day, the hardest meal is breakfast. When I have school - i would have no time to eat or grab any fast junk i could find. for when I have the day off, i would tend to OVER eat for breakfast... sending me into a food…

Pcos, insulin resistant, pre-diabetic and in-and-out-again carb counter.... Add me and we'll look into this adventure together. Cuz gurl, i know it's hard having all this baggage on top of trying to lose weight. It ain't easy, but you can do it :-)

i log it up to a certain point. There is a fail day and then there are hell days.... When i start going over in the hundreds, i still log. When i hit 1,000+, I start getting sloppy with my logging but I still try really hard while I negotiate with myself about ethics/honesty and such... When I hit somewhere in the 2,500+…

BUMP - this is amazing :)

The nerd in me is doing a very discombobulated happy dance :) I LOVE me some data!!! Thanks for all for this and the links. *cheers*

AMAZING transformation!!! fantastic job and you're still going... woot woot :-)

Love this thread because its so spot on... I do the same thing where i calorie count and restrict diet for a week or two... then every 2 weeks i would binge a bit (bring the calorie limit up a bit)... and then go back to strict calorie counting at regular limit. I throw in a few low carb weeks just for the heck of it. I…

Rock songs do it for me... I listen to: Fall Out Boy's Save Rock and Roll album - the whole album is good and has a heavy beat to move to. Papa Roach's Getting Away with Murder album - esp the title song... then: blood, not listening, and sometimes Sleeping with Siren's Feel and Let's Cheer to this are both good albums -…

it depends on how bad the stuff is... if it is microwave food, im still fine with it. however, if i down a bag of chips or eat something slattered in oil - i cannot handle it. i get all nauseous and sick to my stomach. ^^^ this is from a lifetime of junk foods, so i count it as progress :-) on the same note... i think even…

Im all of the above. I'm a regular bag of insecurities... but if i had to REALLY choose? I'm the elderly one. lol

^^^ This happened to me!!! Always been kinda small.... now they are smaller :-( Makes me sad.... I wish we could choose where to lose weight and how much of it.... or be allowed to rearrange our fat around. lol

This sounds amazon! I'm always struggling to find low calorie foods for dinner. I getting sick of eating the same foods every day. This was very inspiring :-)

I was always a fat kid... but things got WAYYYY out of hand when i went to college and got free reign on everything. Freshman 15 turned into college 60. I discovered I tend to stress eat like crazy or i dont eat at all, which screwed up my metabolism. and of course all the late nights didnt help. I was also never properly…

I have PCOS too. and it is definately harder to lose weight with it but it is not impossible!! You just need to work harder at it... and make allowances if you are on medication. But it is possible!!!! Add me :-) I welcome all new friends

The phone app is fantastic! And it doesn't take too long. However it does take a bit of time... A min or two before every meal. And especially so when the food isn't listed in the search... Becomes kind of awkward if you are eating out with friends. Lol. But what i tend to do is pre-plan and pre-log my meals the night…

Yup. Sums it up for me too. US fat chicks tend to stay together and gives less pressure and more support. Lol. Plus I can relate more with other girls on their issues. So I tend to have more female friends here on MFP. However, in real life, I prefer to hang out with guys... And I do have more guy friends than girls. They…
