I hear you on the mother comments. Sounds like your's is way more severe than what my mom has said, but it does get old. continued criticism no matter how hard you try or one small slip up is noticed but the good things are never noticed. Fee free to add me as a friend!

Down to 161 only down .2 from last week. Been doing some working out and builiding muscle.. I hope

I have a bad knee from an injury and then again injured at the gym, while working with a trainer! The low impact is good .. you are on track with the walking and so forth. If your gym has a bicycle I would recommend that in order to change things up. I would also recommend weight training sometime. Not immediately if you…

Down 1 lb from last week. 161.2. Had an ok week. Need to work on doing more cardio over the next week and maybe I will finally break that 160's mark.

Another MFP Pal is always great to have! Feel free to add me as a friend. I will help to be supportive and encouraging. I just started my MFP network of friends a couple weeks ago. The network of friends help greatly!

Doing alright. I am still losing, however I fore see a slow down as I have lost the first 10+ but know the closer I get to my goal, it may come off slower. Doing well tracking everything and keeping tabs on my water on MFP has been such a huge help.

Agree, I focus on Protein mostly and then fat & calories. My protein focus helped me to loose the first 10-13 lbs steadily and so far it is the track I want to be on.

May look into a couple of the recipes. I want the protein, but less carbs. --- Should look into vanilla though and use to mix in various things, I bet that is good.. May not be able to replace vanilla extract but could help.

I looked in the mirror and saw that I was developing that second chin.. "what the heck is that? and why am I letting myself get to this point?" Those are a couple things I thought to myself. Also, I was within 10 to 15 pounds of my fiance and he is very fit. I should be At Least 30 to 40 pounds less than him.

Inspiring Story. To be one of "those" girls. Yes I know exactly what you were thinking. I want to be one of "those". I have relized slow and steady is the right way as well. It is a lifestyle and it can be done. Thanks for sharing this story. I will come back to it when I need some inspiration again down the road. You look…

Starting W - 162.4 Good Luck to All!

Sounds good. Will do.

You are right about CO and being healthy. I don't live in the state but have friends that do and have visited quite a bit. CO residents are overall healthier in their food choices. Also exercise is always occuring. So many activities available and many people do them!

Way to go! I am right there with you today. I put on a smaller size pair of jeans today!!! Back down a size.. started to buy one size up and I said... NOOO WAYYY I can't go down this path.. so now I got on MFP and I am back down a size.. Working on going down another.. but it sure feels good! Again.. congrats ! Way to go!

Most of our office contain healthy eaters... We are an office of about 15. 4 of us in our office are trying something new. We take one day each week and make something healthy and share with the other members of the group. I am tracking with MFP and the others are using WW. We are all supporting each other and have so far…

Many times I have put a chicken or turkey breast in the crop pot. I then eat just the meat.. It works better than lunch meat for me. I don't feel I need to have it on bread or a wrap because it is nice tender meat from being made in the crop pot. Can be eaten hot or cold. Have a salad, fruit or veggies with it. BUT wait…

I have thought about looking into online shopping for grocery items... do you online shop and it ships to you? Where and how does it work for you? Not sure I could do this.. as I don't mind going to the store every once in awhile. I'm one who likes to look around.. but I try not to.. I try to stick to the perimeter of the…

Nacho Cheese Doritos I did not eat them often, but I am staying away from them more often as I seem to over indulge on those EVERY time I eat them. I am working on still eating certain items I like (ice cream, etc) but I eat smaller servings and lower fat versions. It helps to feed the cravings at times and keeps you sane.

I use the Pam with Olive Oil. I only do a light coating and it works great. It is a very small amount and does not add much for calories. Plus Olive Oil is considered a "good fat" if you look at good vs bad fats.

-- I have heard of this book, I have looked it up but I have not read it yet. I think all the recommendations I have seen about this book is telling me something. Yes, I have less sweets now. When I do eat sweets, I can tell because of the sugar crash that occurs later on. I try to also stay away from soda. I was drinking…

Try adding in more protein to your diet. I have increased by protein and have less hunger pains. Protein and Fiber help to sustain you longer. As someone mentioned, be sure your not thirsty. If I don't drink enough water in the first part of the day, I will feel hungry more often. Hope all the suggestions help that…

Everyday is an eat what you want day. Moderation is key. If I know I am going to a party, a happy hour, or some other event, I will work to adjust the other parts of my day. Have a lighter lunch and instead of gorging at the event, have smaller portions and eat slower. It allows me to have what I want but not over do it. I…

2 weeks ago... I had a friend recommend this site as she knew others had used MFP. I downloaded on my phone a few days before I started using the site. 2 weeks ago, I decided to create a log in and start tracking. I may not have been perfect everyday, but I am consciously consuming better food choices. I also lost my dad…

That is absolutely fabulous.. sometimes it is just a decision that happens in your day.. bang.. hits you, you just decide I want to change.. Great Job!
