Like others have said, I would eliminate the soda and sugary drinks (Start small and work yourself towards elimination) Also, cut down on the amount of processed foods and cook more of your food from scratch to limit the amount of sodium which can cause your weight to stay up. And add plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.…

I think many of us have been there done that... The most important thing is to make sure you are making this change for you and you only. If you're doing it for any other reason there will always be an excuse or a reason to quit before you get to the finish line or to get to the finish line and then say "Now what?" This…

Well better get up and run so the wagon doesn't back up and hit you again. In the grand scheme of life, it's just a blip on the radar. Pick yourself up and keep going. You have two choices, either to keep going the route you did since you "fell off the wagon" or dust yourself off and keep going the direction you want to go.

Well you're doomed, better give up now before you get in over your head!! :laugh: Seriously, it's everything in moderation. Nothing is wrong with pizza, next time just have a slice (or two) and be done, save the rest for yummy lunches and dinners later. You can't look at any particular food as being evil or not allowed or…

I donate mine. The first time was to Goodwill and the last round went to my mom since she told me she had gotten bigger and I had a lot of cute stuff and thought she could get some use out of them while she is "waiting to start losing weight" :laugh: I prefer to get rid of the clothes and not leave them hanging around as a…

I would say it has improved for the better as we both try to improve ourselves. I love how attractive he finds me now and love when he compliments my efforts and accomplishements. Our sex life has improved tremendously as well!! A lot of times one person in a relationship drastically changing their lfiestyle helps bring…

It can be very eye opening for sure, that's when you approach the facts like an adult and do it one step at a time just like every one else has said...Don't focut on the "How did I get to here" or the "How did I do this to myself" honestly, I think we all know the answer to this and it has to do with eating too much/eating…

Congratulations, you are such an inspiration!!

I have about 39 pounds left that I am on the mission of losing. I have lost 52 pounds so far. Am currently down to 169 and want to get down to 130.

I feel you're going about this all wrong...You are looking for a quick fix and the majority of people on this site are not about a "quick fix"...But another reason you are going about this all wrong is your motivation for this is a mean thing your grandpa said and it isn't coming from within yourself to change…

Great work!! You can definitely tell, your double chin is gone and your face looks thinner!!! Keep up the great work!
-
LOVED this post!!! I couldn't agree with you more!! Maybe someday your friend will come around, maybe not, at this point you owe her nothing more!!!
-
You just need to get over it and continue on...One bad weekend has not ruined all your efforts and made it impossile to reach your goal...You just have to want it bad enough not to use your stumbling as an excuse for quitting or failing.:happy:
-
That is fantastic!! That is great about your blood pressure and all the fun "gift with purchase" stuff you mentioned as well!! :drinker:

Definitely, it was dinner last night and the leftovers fit in perfectly for lunch today!!!

I'm having (2) homemade chicken breast tacos on corn tortillas and grapes...Will enjoy it right after my Cardio day at the gym!!!

$25.00 a week would be tough, but I imagine that it is only you you are feeding on the $25.00. I would find a good farmers type market and shop there sales (I shop at Sprouts) I feed my family of 3 on $75- $90.00 a week which breaks out to about $25.00-$33.00 per person. (Please note this is for food only, not other…

This is an excellent point!!

Definitely look at your exercising and your weight training/toning if you are doing these things look at making adjustments, pushing yourself a little longer or a little faster or lifting a bit weight more, or a few more reps...if you're not exercising or weigh lifting (perferably both) then I'd definitely start!!:smile:…

Like others have said, too many fast and processed foods...Those foods are laced with sodium which can cause you to retain water and make your weight fluctuate a lot and drive you nuts. Try to focus on real whole foods. Planning is essential, taking an extra 10 minutes in the morning to pack yourself a sandwich with a lean…

What he said...Best time to make the uturn back in the right direction is right now. It can be a very slippery slope to let each day go in the wrong direction. Find some time to exercise today and when it comes to eating refocus. In the bigger picture it will just be a little blip on the radar.

Most of the "rules" I think you're talking about are not scientifically founded by more fad things that people come up with and think, it works for me so it must work for everybody!!! As stated, the basic rule to lose weight is eat less move more. You need to expend more calories than you consume. Of course it is possible…
-
Wow, 500 calories can easily be consumed in 1 meal!!!! What the heck does she get to eat??? Like others said, it's not teaching her diddly squat about a healthy lfestyle just some fad she'll burn out on in at most a month... Seriously, where do people come up with this stuff??
-
It is a hard and difficult situation for sure. Part of you wants to scream at him, why didn't this come out when I was trying my hardest to get over you!!! Like others have said, you have to be honest with yourself and find some solitary time to figure out what it is you truly want or don't want. Friends with Benefits is a…

What a fantastic idea!! I love that you are demonstrating to her what a real man is supposed to be like and how a real man should treat her...Can't wait til she goes out on her first real date and tells the guy...PSSHHHH but my dad always takes me to (enter fancy restaurant here)... This is something i'd love for my hubby…
