Taking all the advice in mind, Do what works for YOU! Set reachable goals. You didn't gain it overnight so it's not going to come off overnight. No matter how many bumps are in the road, you can eventually finish your journey if you just keep moving! And most of all, DO IT FOR YOU and no one else!!!!!!!

SW: 186 CW: 186 GW: 181 Weigh in Dates: 6/1 6/8 6/15 6/22 6/28 Walked 3.15 miles .....Goal 40+ for the month.

I've been on for quite some time and have been very timid about asking for new friends to help push me thru the last part of my journey for that very reason. I've read A LOT of nasty posts on here. I don't give a crap what ppl think of me. I'm doing this the best I can!! Feel free to add me!!

plain; w/tomatoes; w/pineapple; mixed in salad.

Most ppl do drop the soda becuz it bloats most. Plus most sodas r high sugar which can hinder your loss. switch to diet if u havent already and cut back as much as possible. I still have 1 or 2 20oz a week just for a little flavor. carwful eating too low on cals if 500 is all u had thats seriously too low 1200 should be…

I'm very proud that I met a very major milestone in my journey that I set for myself!!! I wanted to loose down to 200 by today and I DID IT!!! 200.8 to be exact! I have a little more to go...but very proud of my self!!!! and looking forward to being in Onederland next week!!!!!!

Something brand new...tired of dressing 2nd hand. And something that actually fits not hanging off and falling off.

My brother is a stick...has been all his life. He tried to get into the army and needed to gain 5lbs to meet the weight criteria. He ended up loosing 10lbs. He eats what he wants whenever he wants, drinking coffee instead of water and does little movement other than around the house. He still at almost 43 wears a 29-30…

Don't know that I've ever been 'skinny' I'm tall 5.10 and big boned so even at my lowest weight since my early teens at 186 I was still a 14 and a rare 12 if it was made a little big but that was when I was 18 and 19 years old. I'm now almost 39 and after 2 kids and being off and on pain meds and other stuff for…

Check for an indoor pool at your local Y or fitness center or thru a physical therapy center. if none of the see about a hotel with indoor pool. they may work somerhimg out for u for a small fee to just use the pool. I have sxiatic problems , pinched nerves in my back and fibromyalgia I just walk as much as I can. I didnt…

39 Yrs old 5'10 and currently around 212 from 256. I tru to net 1200-1400 but not over my cal goal of 1600. Eating back exercise doesnt work for me.

I have just over 30 to go also....feel free to add away!

SAHM w/2 boys, one almost 5 and one 19 months. Feel free to add away!

Some ppl can be so cruel..Just remind yourself WHY you are out there walking!! I don't give a flying flip what anyone says or thinks about me. I'm out there for ME!! not for them. Thankfully though I haven't heard any negative comments. But I sure have gotten some odd looks! Keep up the great work! You r doing just fine!!!

Honestly...it depends on my day! I tend to try to have about 4 hours between meals and have 3 meals a day. I occasionally have a very light snack (fruit or crackers or rice cake type snacks) between lunch and dinner. Depending on how early we do dinner I might have light snack before bed. I've had a lot of success…

Don't buy the Ramen!!! They are absolutely LOADED w/sodium!!!!! They contain about 1/2 of your daily sodium goal!! By a box of pasta (about 1.00) and you can get several meals out of it!! Add your fav veggies or sauce or just about anything you want! there are endless possibilities!!!

YES YES YES!!!! Having put up w/ a stepdaughter that thinks that she's allergic to anything BUT the highest dollar name brands when we nor her mother can barely afford 2nd hand prices (my hubby has 4 kids between his ex and I) I really think uniforms would be wonderful!!! The middle school she's getting ready to start DOES…

Glad to see you in a better place than a few weeks ago!!! Keep up the GREAT work!! Loose clothes are so amazing! Congrats my dear!!!!!

I was less than a month from my 34th with my 1st and was 37 for my 2nd and at almost 39 I'd like to try one more time for a little girl but infertility probably has other plans for me!

Not all at one time but these are some things I've thrown in my salads in the past......tuna,raw mushrooms, red onions, corn off the cob,peas, chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, black beans, chic peas, baked talapia, boiled eggs or just the whites, strawberries, peanuts or cashews, mandarin oranges, pasta, lettuce,…

YYYAAAHHHHH!!!! for you!!! small (or in this case TALL) steps will lead u to great gains (or losses!!!)

It's actually shampoo...you know addes body and volume!!!! maybe it's the yoga pants/shampoo conspiracy!!!

I've had some off and on. A few at a time are good but usually I can't get a full serving in b4 they start leaving a funny taste in my mouth. I don't think they'd hurt as long as you r working them into your daily totals. I like the Fit and Active brand rice crisps better. Ranch or Caramel flavors (buy at Aldi's)

2 of my favs: Marinate in italian dressing (light or fat free) and bake or just bake w/some your fav seasonings and a little Mccormicks grill mates Mesquite. Simple yet tasty!!!

I was 24.Got a free phone when I bought my car. Had it about 3 years and then went for 7yrs w/o one. Was 33 when I got one again. I'm 38 now.

Have a good heart to heart w/urself and ask urself how bad do we really want this??? I think onink that once its a true life style change it becomes easier. I battle myself a lot not to have the bad things I so enjoy but when I look in the mirrow I see the differences I'm making and. its a good reminder. Tomorrow IS a new…

Yogart!! especially greek yogart!! I can handle it once in a while but more than once a week and YUCK!!!!!

sonics has a great grilled chicken on wheat bun that doesn't 'break the bank'. If you get it w/o mayo it's only about 240 cals.

I'm in the same boat...Had not lost all the weight from my now 18 mon old son and started gaining after a very stressful move. I still had some weight on from my 4yr old too. I'm just a few lbs away from pre-prego weight from the 18mon old now. Feel free to add me. I'll be happy to support you any way I can!

I walk a mile and half to the grocery store as part of my workout. So yep...I'm pretty sweaty!
