Keep it up!!! I hope that comparison was able to motivate you -- it sure did to me!!! Great job!
-
Love it!!! I believe you can do it -- we ALL believe you can do it. There may be other reasons why you're with him - but I'd say the way he's treating you on this particular subject is appalling. You need someone who supports you and will love you no matter what you look like. But in the mean time - MFP will support you!…

Fantastic! It's so great when people start noticing all the hard work!!! :) Great job!
-
THANK YOU!!! I'm off to a great start! :)

I work nights too!!! I'm a police/fire/rescue dispatcher in Vermont. I've loaded my friend list with people from the UK and fellow night shifters - it's great to see activity in the wee hours of the morning Feel free to add me :) Also for anyone interested there is a night shift thread on here that is usually pretty…

They have been the difference I had been looking for but didn't know it. I had never been successful until I found MFP. What makes MFP so great is the community. I have made real life friends on here that both live in my area and far away. They've given me the confidence I need to overcome the daily struggles of trying to…

WOOHOOO!!!!!!! Been there felt ALL of that!!! I gave up the scale for several months and it was GLORIOUS! It's tough at first but get someone to take it away or hide it for you. :) Now I weigh in on the first of each month. Do what feels right - for me I make better choices when I feel better about myself. I lose more…

There are also some great workout routines online and in fitness magazines. If you can splurge on some handweights and a exercise/balance ball you'll be set! But overall I think walking combined the wii is a great start. It's all about what you put into the workout. Also - not sure where you are in your journey but if you…

MMmmmazing. I brought one to work with me tonight - I think I'll have it now!!! :)

BE CAREFUL!!! I got a roadbike at the beginning of the summer and have just started to take it on the road. Make sure you're confident with hand/arm signals, stopping and turning quickly, looking over your shoulder, etc... If you know of any neighborhoods with not a lot of traffic I'd start there - or a bikepath is ideal!…

YEP - my Dad actually use to tap my plate with his fork if I still had food on there!

Are you looking in my kitchen window?!?!??!! You described my dirty little secret perfectly!! Just need to add a swig of juice from the container to wash it all down! :laugh:
-
It's so funny to me that so many of you eat "breakfast" when you get home before you go to bed! :laugh: I never thought to do that! Personally I eat breakfast after I wake up in the afternoon - lunch after I get to work around 9pm - some snacks around midnight - and dinner around 2 or 3 am. I usually enjoy some tea or…

Ditto with the rest - I'm cold now after about 30lbs down. I have extra sweatshirts and even a snuggy at my work lol
-
YES!!!! This is along the same lines of what I was going to say. Take today as a learning day. Remember how you feel right now and the next time your tempted to eat Jack in the Box recall your emotions. When I'm being tempted to blow my day I think about what it will feel like to step on the scale and see the number be…

Stellar!!!!!!! Love the playlist!

Welcome!!! The MFP database is awesome, but also overwhelming! When searching for foods keep in mind that an item with a * before it was submitted by a member - if there is no star then it is an orginal MFP food. An example would be to search for bananas, you'll see TONS of options come back and you actually have to scroll…

I can TOTALLY see the difference in your hips and stomach and face. GREAT job!!!! Finding those before pictures are always nice when you can look back and say, "whoa look how far I've come!"

Happy Birthday!!!! :flowerforyou:

Bump! I just bought my first roadbike too!!! It's used and in need of some lovin', but it's what I could afford. I rode for the first time a few days ago and had a blast... my rump, however, did not. So, I immediately got online and ordered some padded bike shorts and a seat cover. Hopefully these tools will help me stay…
-
Can you say BUMP!!!!! Looks amazing!!!!
-
Bump - I'm only on page 3 and I'm laughing my *kitten* off!!! Can total relate to some of these!

You guys are the best! I was going to feel REALLY guilty about it, but now I'm okay! I think sometimes we can be too hard on ourselves and I've realized that's exactaly what I was doing. I've worked REALLY hard so far - I'm going to take the two pounds and move on. Thanks ladies!

I use to be a photog for a news station - we did a LOT of walking and carrying that camera around was tough! I never logged it though, I would just make sure your activity level that you set when you started MFP is accurate. Currently I have a desk job so I consider my activity level 'sedentary'. I would just make sure…

Poutine - french fries smothered in gravy topped with cheese curds. Can't say I'll never have it again. SO good.

Welcome!!!! 1. I use to weigh myself MUTILPLE times a day but eventually found it to be emotionally draining. With the support of some MFP friends we all gave up the scale together for almost 2 months! It was the best thing I could've done. I'd do what feels comfortable now, some people benifit from daily weighing. Just…

Guess I should clairfy - I was set up on here by a nutritionist. She said my daily goals would be higher then others (started with 1800) but that was because she didn't want me to eat back my exercise calories. 1880 was sort of a median calorie goal so if I didn't work out I was still filling up my body, but if I did work…

Started at 231 eating 1800 (I never eat back exercise calories) Now I'm at 207 and I have my goals adjusted down to 1650 I'm 5'6
