  • You are not the one with the problem here! The jerk is probably clueless as to why he can't keep all of the "stupid people" working for him. You were right to not go back. As far as it coming up in future job interviews, I wouldn't even mention it. I don't think one day of employment is even worth mentioning. There is a…
  • Looking good! Keep it up!!
  • Welcome! My name is Pam and I am new here, also. I have been at it for the past 3 weeks. Well actually I have been at the game of losing weight most of my life! I finally have my head in the game and am determined to get healthy!! I joined a gym, have a trainer and have changed my eating habits. I wish you well on your…
  • I'm available for support! It is something we all need!! Good luck!
  • I stopped drinking dairy and drink unsweetened soy, almond and occasionally coconut milk. Less calories, more protein. It's a no-brainer for me. I try to save my calories for eating, not drinking..
  • I can ride the stationary bike for 30 minutes and enjoy it! Being more aware of what I am putting in my mouth and holding myself accountable for it. Pants that used to hurt to wear are actually comfortable!! More to come!! Good luck to you!
  • My motivation has been the desire to finally get control of my health. My blood sugar was not regulated and my blood pressure was high. When one of my medications went from $25 to $230, I decided I have to get to a place where I don't need the medications. Actually, that was a blessing in disguise. I stopped taking the…

  • You should carry something with you that you enjoy eating that won't throw you off track. If you can stay away from the sweets, eventually you will not crave them anymore. Somewhere I heard this;" If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you are not hungry." It has helped me stay away from junk and I'm eating…
  • Welcome! I am new here and the support is great! We are all working towards the same goal and MFP really helps to keep track of things and to stay focused. Good luck to you and keep us posted on how you are doing!
  • You look awesome!! And you give me hope for my journey. What an inspiration!!
  • If someone is going from being completely sedentary to up and moving, every movement counts!! I like that for the most part everyone on MFP seems to be helpful. It is not helpful for someone to clearly put someone else down for what they list as exercise. Just because I don't break a sweat walking my dog, doesn't mean it…
  • I know exactly what you are going through. It is so hard to take the weight off and so easy to gain it back!! I am just starting and am really enjoying my workouts so far. I did have to take some time off due to some back issues, but I have been seeing a chiropractor and everything is some much better now! Good luck in…
  • I like them sprinkled on cereal or yogurt. I'll have to google and see what else I can do.
  • Great job! You look wonderful. You give me hope that there is a light at the end of that long, dark tunnel!! I am just starting my weight loss journey, but I am focused on getting healthy, not worrying so much about the scale. I've already seen that if I exercise more, I feel good and can eat well, feel satisfied and lose…
  • You are right! If we are going to hold ourselves accountable for what we are feeding ourselves, we need to putt it all down! I hated it, but yesterday I ate 2 pieces of veggie pizza AND a piece of chicken alfredo pizza! Not smart choices of food, but if I don't log it, I feel like I am trying to avoid the reality of what I…
  • In an effort to lose weight, get my blood sugar under control and just fell better over all, I stopped eating meat. Amazingly, I realized that it wasn't my diabetic medicine that was upsetting my digestive system, it was the meat I was eating. I have also been able to lose weight and my sugar is well controlled. I still…
  • It is hard to not think about what other people are thinking when you are not happy with the way you look. You have to do what you need to do for your self. Not anyone else! If you look around when you go to the gym, there are people smaller than you and there are people bigger than you. And all of you are there for the…
  • I use unsweetened almond ,soy and coconut milk. All three are good and you can't beat the calorie count!
  • Great job! You are an inspiration! Keep up the good work!!
  • Wow! You look great! You are such an inspiration to those of us just getting started! Thanks for sharing !!
  • You look great! What an inspiration you are! If you can do it, I can too!!
  • You look wonderful!! You are an inspiration to those of us just getting started!! Keep it up!
  • You are not a failure if you need help! We all need help at times. What you have is a problem that you can not solve on your own. That does not make you a failure. You are smart enough to realize that you need help, so please get the help you need right away. Please get help!
  • I had a Pink Lady today and it was wonderful! I also like Gala & Fuji apples. I use to like Granny Smith the best, but it always seems like the skins are so tough. Today I'd say that Pink Lady wins!!
  • You look so good!! How inspiring for those of us just beginning our journey! You help me believe that it is possible. Congratulations!
  • I am new also. You can add me!
  • You are not eating enough!! You should get at least 1200 calories a day. You should also vary your exercise routine. Why do you need a trainer if all he is having you do is use the eliptical? I'm not an expert, but I do know that you have to work on also doing some weight training. Also, don't get so caught up in your…
  • I'm on day three and am so liking how easy the food log is to use! It certainly makes you think about what you are putting in your mouth!! Good luck!!
