That's a relief. I feel I'm starving on workout days!

http://www.runsforcookies.com/ thats not me, but i find her blog really inspiring

hi! i just bought and started this today. I would love to be a part! heard great things about it

i am technically on WW, bc im paying for it. I did it a few times. Last summer i lost about 8 lbs and kept it off but stopped once i felt the plan stalling. now i rejoined but was having a hard time getting on board so i am trying MFP for a little before i decide to recommit myself to WW. it really is liberating to be able…

thanks! i do feel like my TOM is coming so hopefully that is contributing. I dont want to be a daily weigher- i just want to make sure im on the right path here. I just want to make sure that ultimately the scale is going down, not up!

i have been eating almost all of my exercise calories. I will try that with the macros- i did notice im consistently going over protein. i guess then bye bye to pasta? Im confused because posters told me that all that matters is calories in/calories out and that pasta was okay as long as i had the calories for it

I am 5"6/5"7 and 153. Not technically overweight but I would like to lose 15 lbs.

LOL

thanks so much! in the past when i have dieted, i have tried to force myself to eat salads and grilled chicken every day. personally, i dont enjoy either very much. I am definitely not eating fast food all day long, but its a far cry from eating alfalfa sprouts and egg whites.

seems like you are at a decent weight so maybe your body doesnt want to lose weight.

so many times i have thought about what i will reward myself with. truthfully, no pedicure/bag/new bathing suit etc can equal the reward of just being happy with my body. my rewards will be, not hating myself in pictures, not feeling self conscious every day, not hating shopping for new clothing, not beating myself up…

homemade zuchinni soup (super low cal and yum) and noodles and cottage cheese- a comfort food from childhood.

I make a pitcher and add either limes or cucumber. i feel like im at a spa

Yes. No info on the web. It's not a chain or anything. I guess I'll just order an undressed salad and eyeball

Thank you all. With two little ones at home by the time I get around to cooking and eating my dinner in famished. Pasta is quick and yummy so knowing that I can look forward to a 2 oz portion of pasta helps me keep from snacking on their leftovers!

You are me. I can be good all day and once the kids are in bed it hits. My husband travels a lot so I'm stuck at home with all the junk food calling to me. I'm going to try reading a good book to distract me

10 lbs by august 27th sounds good to me. I have about 15 that i would like to lose total

you look amazing. I logged on and today is my first day of sticking to this. Thanks for the inspiration!

you look great!

thank you! congrats on your success!

thank you. that is really encouraging!

yes. i am a lifetime exerciser/gym rat. Havent even lost much through two half marathon trainings
