You may add me if you wish...

If the clothes don't "fit" any more. Get rid of them. But keep one pair of pants/shirt/dress...to compare. My really fat clothes were all way to tight before I started this journey., now they fit comfortable. I have bought new clothes to fill in and the ones that are way to big I donate them.

You've been with the same person since you were seventeen, and he now ahs a problem with your weight and weighing so much to marry him, even though you are engaged? DUMP HIS *kitten*!!!!! You are way to young to have someone starting to control your actions emotionally the way he is doing. He doesn't want to get married or…

Baby steps....one thing at a time....You can do this....

Feel free to add me. You can do this!

All you can do is one day at a time. Some will be good, some Ok, and some don right not so good. :) But, be true to your logging, exercising and you will achieve your goal.

I do not criticize any ones activity level of exercise. Some people even moving at all is a form of exercising. We all live differently and we all move at different levels. House cleaning can burn a lot of calories sometimes depending on what your doing. Simple things burn calories....so I feel what people want to log as…

Wonderful job! High Five.....you look great!

Have lost 52 pounds...still have 109 to go. Add me if you wish!

Sarah, it's a hard journey for sure. I think we think we need to always lose, always exercise and we at times demand too much of ourselves. I think once you set the mode of it is Ok to not eat correctly all the time or not exercise every day, it releases some of the pressures. There are times we just need to step back, we…

Happy dance right there! Great job!

I have not given up anything. I feel if you do not let yourself eat the foods you love to eat you will fail in your weight loss effort. I try (yes, sometimes I eat too much), to eat in moderation. I have tried to change my attitude that I control what I want of what food. I try to eat healthier, but always don't. I stand…

I weigh myself every morning and in fact every evening to see how I fluctuate through the day. But no matter what the scale says I always put my weight in on Friday even though sometimes during the week it was lower. The only time it's not on a Friday is when I know I will be gone. Our weights can change drastically for a…

You look very nice! Color of the dress is pretty!

Your welcome to add me. I will encourage you the best I can.

At A WW, Meeting once our leader once said , quote, "No matter what, you need to eat those points, I don't care if you eat a candy bar! You won't lose." unquote. Now I am not saying run out and buy candy bars. But I think what she actually meant was you do need to eat all the required points. I don't do WW any more, but…

She deactivated her account. I think that some of your remarks were uncalled for. She had an opinion. It was something that was bothering her. We all can say at one time (if you cannot you are very lucky) that things like this happen and you feel so mad at yourself for letting yourself go, what do you do? Turn to what…

Great job so far on your weight loss! Am so very glad at your young age you have taken the step to do something for yourself, and what better way then to get into a better health style. . :)

Feel free to add me! :)

YOU DESERVE A STAND UP WAY TO GO RIGHT THERE!!! Great job on the weight loss. Both you and your wife are doing great. Be proud of your accomplishments and continue on your journey no matter how long it takes!

I have cut out nothing also. I feel that if you limit your intake on certain foods you are used to eating, you will just crave them more. The biggest change I have made is cutting back on soda/pop to one serving per week (if we go out). If I happen to drink more (which I seldom do) I do not kick myself. I try to eat in…

Montana

I weigh myself every morning, just to monitor how I am doing. But my official weigh in is on Friday morning.

Glendive, Montana

Count me in. I am 5' 1/2" and have 120 pounds to lose yet.

I did WW for awhile and the points can be misleading. When I first started mfp I also did the points for WW. I found that even though I was eating under my points, calorie wise I was over because those fruits, they really add up. I also found the wesite for WW confusing and frustrating. I like mfp a lot better for sure. :)

I tried Nutrisystem before and it did not work for me. I personally thought the food was horrible. Not only do you have to purchase the food you also have to purchase, bread, fruits, veggies, etc., and truthfully it got really expensive. But, if you want to give it a try by all means do. It does work for some people. Just…

You are very beautiful and you look great!!!
