Gorgeous! You were already pretty and now you look ever better! I have a similar goal and it's great to see the before and after pics of you for motivation for me. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work!

Hey! I'm finding the same thing. Also, for the next few days afterwards, I am so sore that I don't know if I should take a few days rest or if I should push through the pain and do what I can. Any advice from fellow MFPers would be helpful. Thanks!

I'm somewhere between 5'5 and 5'6 (I have been 5'5 for as long as I can remember but at my physical last month, my doctor said I was 5'6 so who knows LOL) and I am aiming for 115 lbs. I currently weight 165 lbs. so I've got 50 lbs to go. I figure if I like the way I look before I hit 115 lbs I'll stop, but a healthy BMI…

Np!

I don't have much experience with the frozen meals (Lean Cuisine, etc) but am tempted to try a couple after having read your posts! Like a few others post-ers, I also make big batches of food and then freeze them into individual containers. I just made a batch of Sweet Potato & Quinoa Chili (thanks to Milk Free Mom!). If…

Hi Everyone! I'm 29, looking to lose approximately 50lbs and looking for MFP friends. Feel free to add me :)

Hey there! Want to be my accountability twin? Age: 29 Height: 5'6" Daily Calorie Goal: 1200 CW: 167 GW (for this challenge): 150 GW (final): 115

Way to go! You're looking great!!!!

I didn't get a chance to read through everyone else's replies so this may be repetitive (if so, I'm sorry) but don't beat yourself up. It could be a million things that have made you gain those four pounds (water, sodium, muscle, time of the month). I know how much it sucks to see the numbers go up on the scale but think…

Amazing! Good for you!

I start by loading my insulated cup complete with straw with ice and continue to refill it and drink water throughout the day. Sometimes, I substitute my water for "Sassy Water" (water, mint, lemon and cucumber) just to get a different taste. I am much better at drinking my water throughout the day at my desk than when I…

Good for you! I just got it too! How are you entering it as exercise on MFP? 50lbs by May? I think it's possible! You can do it!

Gained a pound :(

Hey! Sorry to hear about the TMJ. I was really sick last year and was restricted to liquids (and then clear fluids) for two months sp maybe I can help. Here are my suggestions: Boost and/or Ensure (however, I personally prefer the Carnation Instant Breafast powders that you mix with real milk) Low-Sodium Soups (or you can…

Sorry for getting in late on this; here are my stats: SW: 170 CW: 170 Total weight loss: 0 I weigh-in on Fridays though so I'll keep you posted. Good luck everyone!

I'm in. My goal was 20lbs but I'll aim for 30lbs. I'll go add you as a friend right now :) 30 lbs in 4 months - Here we go!

This post was fantastic! A spectacular summary judgment hearing in state district court this morning? Good for you! Down 25 lbs in a month? Even better! As long as special treats are consumed in small amounts every now and again; you're okay. So savor them; you deserve it!

Good for you! 50 lbs is a huge achievement!

Amazing!!! You look fantastic!

It's amazing how much difference 12 lbs makes! Good for you! You looks great!

Good for you! 67 lbs is no easy feat I'm sure! Keep up the great work!

Thanks Becca! I think your way is the way to go!

Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and has offered suggestions; I truly appreciate it. And a reminder to the haters, this board is called motivation and support. If you are just going to criticize and pass judgements, don't bother.

Good call! Sometimes, when I'm so busy I don't even think about food. So going for a walk or doing sit-ups would be a great distraction. I also think you're right about eating more during the day. Thanks!

I'm the same. I pack a breakfast and lunch with good intentions but I have nothing prepared for when I get home after work. Tonight I am trying something new; I am going to make a bunch of healthy, freezable meals. Most of them will be for the slow cooker so they'll be ready when I get home so I won't need to snack. Wish…

Those are great suggestions for the fast food places! Thank you!

You're absolutely right! That's what does it for me too! Thank you for the advice and encouragement!

Another great reply! Thanks for the advice!

Because I don't live alone and entertain often

Good point! Thanks so much!
