HAHAHA you're one of those LUCKY moms. I have four brothers and well... you have no idea

Watching T.V. It makes me want to go workout so I can look like the women on television :)

If you are set on "sedentary" add everything active that you do- be it walking for a long time or cleaning. However, if you are set at "active" make sure you only log if you cleaned for an extended period of time and/or it was moderately tasking.

Speaking from experience, btw

You have to do what's best for YOU, because clearly your friend isn't going to. Have a little faith and look to the future. Do what you gotta do to make this work. XO

I was eating really low calorie and it didn't work out, and now I eat 1375 and I'm loosing fat consistently. 800 probably worked at first until your metabolism adjusted to low calorie.

I have a hard time studying at night, so I like to ride my bike around for a half hour or so- it relaxes me. Then I wake up and hour early and I find that I learn twice as much studying fresh in the morning. And I'm in a 5 week accelerated general chem II class right now, an accelerated math class, and working

Well said. If I had a freak out everytime I binged, I would end up starving myself for a few days, then binging, then feeling guilty and than crash dieting (aka starving) over and over. That's what I did when i first realized I had to loose weight, and I actually GAINED 10 more lbs. This way is the way to go!^^^

Maybe they don't expect the women to loose weight?

Even if we're not perfect twins you can add me if its close :)

My splurges take me from my usual 1400 to about 2500.

19 next month :) hopefully thinner by then. Add me if ya like

You can do it, but I'd say 8-10 lbs is more realistic.

Win the lottery. Would you rather go back to school or have to work longer hours?

I'm in.

Well what I mean is that I will have like 600 left at 9pm so instead of eating vegetables I'll go and eat 600 cal of "bad" food. So I was just thinking, what if I cut down the cals? Then maybe I'd eat better AND loose weight faster.

I have a ghetto booty too!!!! Sideways I look way curvy but I look more stickish straight ways. :) idk if thats bad or good

My legs are the LAST thing that look good when loosing weight :(

Thanks guys!! I thought 6 meals/day sped up to my metabolism (it did seem to work better for me) but maybe it just forced me to choose better food options. :)

I was like that at first, but now I'm getting used to MFP and eating better/less so I don't think about food as much.

Some M.D.'s told me that diet soda causes Metabolic syndrome (aka being fat)

MEE!! I'll be happy with 15 but 25 will be where I am ecstatic. Add me :)

Just eat healthy and exercise... you body will fall to the weight it naturally belongs, which is probably the weight you are healthiest at and look best at. You should start to worry if you go underweight, but as long as you stay within normal BMI there's no cause for worry. I'd say wait a few weeks and then decide to…

We all feel that way at the start of diets though, right? That's what makes you start the diet- you know you need to change something. That's why it is easy to be motivated for the first week or so, too. But after a little while of being on the diet, you'll see the scale slowly tick down and you feel a little thinner each…

Congrats on having to get a smaller suit! That's the best feeling

I agree! My calorie goal is 1375 and I'm normally pretty good at sticking to it, but when I drop down to 1200 I feel hungry and end up feeling demotivated. I still loose at 1375, but I don't feel hungry all day and I stick with it.
