You are getting quite a bit of animal protein as well as protein from your veggies. i know that it is so so so hard (because I'm trying the same thing) but maybe you can cut out that much animal protein, unless you are strength training. And water water water. :) I have a 32 oz bottle that I fill with water everyday and…

That kinda sucks, because he should be the one to support you the most. We are kinda in the same boat. I decided to try to lose the weight for my health and my happiness. I also want to lose the weight to make my boyfriend proud of me, even though he loves me either way. I weighed 224 on May 27th, now I weigh 207. My BF…

Honestly, it shouldn't matter, but it does. :) Just take it off, smile, and put on that show. haha. I don't mind interviews, but they will judge you on everything. Especially if they have a lot of candidates. They will say, this person was great, and so was this one.... but I don't know about the black nail polish, let's…

That is right :) now you have the fuel to do all that exercise. Good Job!!!

Take that sedentary life style and turn in into a moderately active one. It is possible. Eat more, work out, eat more. :)

I walk my dogs two miles every day and do Zumba almost every day. My butt has lost about 4 inches and it has lifted up. :) I love it. I don't do any difficult workouts either.

You will find that MFP is even more addictive than Facebook :) You have supportive friends here and a positive atmosphere. Seeing your progress along the way is so exciting, you wouldn't think that you'd love it so much or even that people actually get results doing this thing, but we do. I started at 224 on May 27, I am…

Yeah, she has a nice body, but are her boobs real? They look it, but I can't really tell. haha. The media says the new fashion is "skeletor" They want the woman to show off their rib cages and spinal chords. Back in the day, people used to want to be fat because it showed that they had money.... maybe this is just another…

Definitely a great work out, I do it all the time. I know a woman who is a Zumba instructor. She has stopped doing it everyday though because her joints have been aching. I have been doing it about three times a week. My knees tend to hurt after an hour, So i've decided to cut it down to maybe 30 minutes every other day. I…

I've worked in many nursing homes. Sometimes they don't even feel it. hahahaha. It's great. Old people are funny. I've never been one to toot in public, or even in front of my family. I usually go to the bathroom. Are there any health problems related to holding a fart? Haha. That sucks if there are.

CW- 207 Starting weight- 224 I've lost about five inches in my waist, three inches in my hips, and three inches in my chest. I do not have any pictures on my computer right now, But I'm going to post some in a few weeks. :) I do have some in my profile though.

You look like a healthy adult in the second picture. Congratulations, looks amazing!

Pictures are a great motivator. Maybe you don't think you are in such bad shape, then you take a picture and you see the truth. It sucks the first time, but be honest with yourself. Then take progress pictures. You will be so happy that you did. You will be able to see how far you've come, and it is also very inspirational…

I eat because I'm fat.... I'm fat because I eat ,,,, hahahahaha,,,, sorry, but seriously, I didn't think I had a problem so I ate and ate what I wanted. It wasn't until I hit 200 that i realized I had problems. I realized my problem but didn't do anything about it.... I saw the scale reach 224 and said that's it, I'm sick…

I do 1300 right now and I feel fine, I'm never hungry because I eat small meals throughout the day. I tried to do 1400, but there was just never enough time in a day for it.

^^^ THIS^^^ :) I just look in the mirror and say woohoo! Lol.

The word hate :)

Eat fiber, it fills you up and it's pretty good. ;) I used to eat a few Triscuits when I felt hungry, like 3 or 4. They have a lot of Sodium though. You can find low sodium fiber snacks.

Definitely a NAY, if I have it on, I clean it off. Pores will be open and getting sweat in them, I do not want makeup getting into my pores and getting my skin all pimply. I like to let my skin breathe for my workout. I rarely wear makeup anyway, but I for sure do not wear it during my workout.

I eat more , exercise more, drink a ton of water, and make an effort to meet my calorie intake goal and eat my worked off calories back. I have been gradually cutting down my calorie intake. I was at 1480, right now I'm at 1300. I'm gonna keep it here for a while. I've lost 17 pounds in the first 7 weeks. I think that is…

I actually do it very often. So I know what affects my weight. I know how my body is responding to everything that I'm doing to it, So I do it in the morning, after a shower, with clothes on, after I eat, after I exercise.... haha, I'm not beating myself up every time though. I think it is fine, But if you obsess over it…

I'm 23 years old, i'm 5'5" tall. I started MFP at 224 pounds 7 weeks and 3 days ago. I am now at 207 and I am so excited. I have been walking my dogs for about an hour everyday, doing Zumba about three times a week and eating mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, meat every so often, and drinking only water. If I do drink…

Amazing! You should look happier in the second pic though :D SMILE, you did it!

hahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahaha.... Boom.

First off, if you guys are dating on and off and not an exclusive couple it really shouldn't matter what he does in his free time. If he was with this stripper girl before, I'm sure he is thinking of the possibility of getting with her again. He's not going to his place.... does that mean if they were at her place they…

I find that it is good enough, I didn't want to shock my body though because MFP suggested 1400 for me, but I want to lose a good amount of weight by a certain time, so I am doing 1300. I find that if I eat small meals throughout the day, I don't feel hungry, and if I do eat something larger to use my calories, I exercise…

Haha, that's why I could never be a server, I would tell them and I would come off as rude. And that is also why I am a Chef, it is acceptable to be rude :D

When I used to go to the gym I used my cell phone as an MP3. So I wouldn't ban them completely. and some of those people have kids at home that they need to be in contact with. But, I do understand about talking WHILE exercising in the middle of a group of people. That's rude, they can take that elsewhere. And in a class,…

She's 18. You think she is gonna give it back. hahahahah. :) Unfortunately, we kids do crazy things (I am only 23, I consider myself a kid still, haha) I think You should save the money, because once you spend it, you are going to be thinking, ugh, I should have saved that money for something more important. At 18....…

I don't know. My mom is that way. She will meet a perfectly fine man but then she says.... but he's only 5'9".... I say so, that's taller than you! She is 5'3". I don't want my man too be too much taller than me. Then when you sit next to them you don't have to struggle to give them a kiss. And when you talk to them you…
