Oh sweetie! I'm so sorry someone could be so mean! Get yourself some good music to listen to on your walks. Turn it up so you can't hear the bullying comments. Some people will never grow up! Can you go someplace different? Twenty six pounds is great! Keep it up! You can do it!!

I started MFP in May. I didn't really do anything but log in my food. I ate less snacks because I didn't want to log it in later. A couple months ago, I started paying attention to the calories, and TRYING to follow them. I'd weigh in, and see the numbers go down, but never FELT different. I think it was last month, when I…

When I started MFP, I just logged what I ate, and didn't look at or worry about calories etc. I agree, so much water, so many bathroom trips. I just drink when I'm thirsty. I'm far from perfect, but, I'm SLOWLY getting to my goal. In 5 months, I'm halfway there. I'm really happy with it. Don't worry about it, you're just…

Thanks everyone for all the support! I'm going to look at jeans today at a thrift store. Maybe I'll brag in another 3 pounds, when I'm at an even 30. :laugh:

When I started, I had NO energy. I didn't bother trying to exercise, but if I walked, I logged it! I just started keeping track of my food diary. If I went over, I went over (calories). I just ate what I wanted. I finally started eating a little less. Sometimes because I was too lazy to want to log in snacks later. I've…

Add me :)

My coworker did that once (while she was in uniform). She will never do that again, unless she sees a baby coming out. Someone asked me once. I said no, my shirt is puffy. (It wasn't all shirt, but I know how you feel).

I try to be consistent, and weigh my self at night. Right after a shower, when I'm still in my birthday suit. I will sometimes weigh myself daily, or wait a few days (especially when I eat too much!). I find every few days is easier to see a bigger change. :)

Me too! Although, in the warm weather, I can drink a 32 oz bottle of G2 Gatorade, so I hope that counts for something! I will go through spells of drinking water, or something else with flavor, even if it's a little lemon seltzer. :)

I'm 5'9" and currently weigh about 173#. My size 14 pants now NEED a belt to hold them up.

CONGRATS!! I just hit my 20 pound mark as well. YES! It bothers me that no one notices. (Hubby noticed 5 pounds ago, and was pleased). I wish OTHER people would notice too! Especially those I haven't seen all summer. At least I know. Maybe we should ask someone who has not noticed to help us find new clothes. :)

Keep going! You can do it!!! I'm down 20 pounds already. OK, I admit, partly because if I want a snack, I know I'll have to log it in. Sometimes, it's not worth the effort. Good luck with your goal!

Having children is NOT something you're "supposed to do" just because you're married. One of my closest friends and I (both married) are not having children. I've never been the "mommy type", and never have wanted children. I've had several other friends tell me what a smart and bold decision it was NOT to have kids. To…
