for sure...and if the board is on the carpet you will get much different results.

have you had a physical with a doctor? maybe a different food plan might work better for you. not everyones body reacts the same to a food plan.

POPCORN! I had Orval on mind when I went to bed last nigt....sad but true

Nice to see Im not the only one back on the "wagon". This morning was the last straw...no more creeping scale needle. Uggg. Not a pretty sight. I am thankful for MFP.

I do know better...:wink: I have proved to myself this can be done. I have never lost this much weight and not felt deprived...it hasnt always been easy but no nearly as bad as when I was restricting food groups. I have what I want in moderation...planning is the key. I am getting back in the groove. Good thing we went to…

You can do it... It will feel so good to see that number. :flowerforyou:

HOW GREAT!!!! That is such a great job...keep going.

I am having the same issue. I am down 3 pant sizes and 4 shirts sizes. I have had to buy clothes, clearance and thrift stores is what I am doing. I have cleared my closet so I have no room to go backwards. I did spend $45 on a pair of jeans and they are bagging in the *kitten* already. This is a good thing of course :wink:…

I find that spearmint does that for me.

Welcome....This site has done wonders for me. It has really been a daily tool. I made the commitment to my health on June 26,2009 and I am so happy I did. I remember every day I didnt put this weight on in a few months....it is not going to come off in a "few months". Good luck to you. J

It seems like I hear about this alot. It is really hard, I know. You will run into people that do not see how "one" slice of cake will make a difference...but it can. Once I start on the popcorn I cant stop, so I just cant eat it. If this is a good friend, ask her to support you and explain how much it means to you. Offer…

I guess I am not the only one working out to the peas. Love them...fast and loud

Thanks, I will for sure check it out. Always looking for yummy stuff to change up our routine.

Have your glucose levels checked. That is a symptom of insulin resistence. I have just been diagnosed and am on a low dose of metformin. I have to really watch my carbs. Hard to do.

I like Sparkpeople.com , Very similar to MFP. Their social sites are very large

Anytime you can walk away from a "FAV" that is a gold star moment. Good for you!!

MFP sure has mad me VERY aware of what I am putting in my body. My husband I wanted to go out to lunch yesterday..we looked up some of our old favorites and about had a heart attack. I gave myself permission to eat what I wanted but I really was discussed with my previous choices. :cry: So sad that I have done this to…

I confess...I feel good and not deprived.:love:

Kamcat you rock...I am pulling out my old clothes too. I refuse to buy any clothes. I will make do with what I have untill I go on my mini vaca in Oct.

I would consider my meals low in "processed" carbs. I try to stay away from sugar, white flower, and for sure no fried foods. I do not limit my fruits/vegitables. I have tried the Adkins thing...worked for a while but I could not stick to it. When I want bread/tortillas/english muffin...I will really look at my calories…

This sight has given me a visual of what I am eating. I can see how things are adding up for the day. It helps me plan ahead. If I know we are going to have pizza for dinner with friends it helps me make allowances for that. I have really seen I can have most things I want...if I plan and "KNOW" what the calorie/fat etc is…

Boy, this is alot of info to take in for someone who has over 100 lbs to lose. I have had many serious challenges in my life and been able to move through all of them except the weight. I, like so many others out here have been on too many diets to count. Food can not be a security blanket, a reward, a friend, a stress…

This is the exact reason why I have not mentioned a thing to anyone..Not my fam, friends, co-workers or the dog next door. My husband and my Doctor are the only people I have talked to at length about this journey...oh except you all. (just a few people on this sight, right:tongue: ) I am using my crazy stomach problems as…

I confess I had burger king for breakfast this morning....not hash browns...honost! I confess I think it made me sick the rest of the day...couldnt eat my lunch. :cry:

Hey there, I have been very tight mouthed about what I am doing. I have not spoke to anyone except my Husband and Doctor about my food and activity. I have had my gallbladder removed several years ago and I have had stomach problems since. I am using this as my cover for the change in my eating habits. I dont want to hear…

Hello all...sorry to see people are feeling down. I was actually not feeling well this afternoon. Felt very nauseaus (spelling???). So I didnt want to eat, I made my self have a nature valley bar and I was able to eat my planned dinner. Grilled chicken,baked potatoe and a salad. I was hungry and felt good after eating. I…

Hello there. I am glad you are here. I have over 100 lbs to lose. This sight has been very helpful to me and my husband. Welcome..

I like to add Feta Cheese. Very srong taste so a very little goes along way. I put it in eggs and pasta too

I originally set my goal for me to hit 200 lbs...but I decided I should really go all the way. Go big or go home so they say in Football. So I adjusted my goal weight to 175. The weight I felt my best at and the system adjusted my calorie intake went from 1950 cal/day to 1550/day. That was okay for me. It is funny about…
