: ) I actually wish I were 167! I used to use an inhaler. I did track, cross country, volleyball, gymnastics, I exercise every day and I eat right (healthy foods as well as in my calorie range). Both of my jobs require me to be on my feet a lot. I am as healthy as a horse aside from injuries from a car accident. And yet, I…

I only count water as water... :) that's all I drink so I guess it wouldn't be an issue for me. For best results though, I'd drink 8 cups of water water. I live in AZ so I have to drink water or I'll die of dehydration with all the exercise and heat. haha.

Age: 23 Kids: not yet, but I plan on it eventually Activity Level: Moderately Active, on- call job. Go for an hour walk every morning, work out a lot throughout the day. Sex Drive: I'd say insatiable, it's hard to really say, long distance relationship makes it somewhat difficult. :) but it's okay, I like to use that…

Amazing and inspirational. I love to hear this type of thing. You are working hard and eating the right things to lose weight and be healthy. No fad diets or exercises to wear you out. So awesome! Congratulations!

hahahhahahahahahahahhaahhahahaha..... hilarious.

Wow. :) looks great. your eyes look more opened with energy :)

This is a wonderful idea and I am trying to get into the habit of doing this. Even at home. I put less on my plate and eat it slow and by the time I've finished that serving, i feel full so I do not want another serving. And I drink drink drink water before, during, and after I eat. It helps with digestion and gives me…

I just tell myself that I've come so far and I don't want to have to lose the same pounds again when I could be losing additional pounds. I go out with my family, I have informed them of my goals and they are very helpful. I go to a restaurant and want a big burger.... but then my mom will say.... "hmmmm.... watch those…

That's awesome that you have made the decision to become healthy. We are all here, very supportive. :) Feel free to add me.

I weigh myself every morning just to see where I am. It motivates me to keep doing what I'm doing. If it's higher, I know I need to work harder that day. If it is lower, I know that I have been doing good and I will keep going. I don't log my weight unless there has been a significant amount of weight lost, like two to…

Woohoo!!! I'm gonna do this fo sho! hahaha. ;)

hahaha. No comparison! I love MFP, all of the positive energy gets me going in the morning. FB is full of trash talkers and friend feuds. There is nothing on FB to motivate me to even log on any more. Plus, when I look at my calories eaten compared to my exercise I get off of the computer chair and get my booty moving :)

FOOD DOES NOT EQUAL HAPPINESS!!!!! People on here say, well I eat those foods because I don't want to give them up. what's the point of being skinny if you are not happy..... STOP BEING IN DENIAL, YOU ARE ALREADY NOT HAPPY, THAT IS WHY YOU ARE ON THIS SITE FOR THE MOST PART. You will be happy because you will be healthy,…

That's all well and good if you are worried about calories. Burn off the calories after you've eaten them. BUT that is not the issue. The things you eat don't only consist of calories, they have fats and oils that get into your body and wreak havoc. It's not only how much you put in your body, but what you put in it. Ice…

Caffeine can hurt your heart if you take in that much a day. You are way beyond worrying about your calorie intake and weight. Be careful,

Good for you! People don't want to work for it anymore. They just want the quick fix. I rather put my heart into it and know that I've earned it. I will be healthy and more energetic in the end. :D

I feel when I don't eat back some calories I'm tired and weak and consistently getting hunger pangs. I rather have a ton of energy and not feel like I'm starving. My weight loss goals are coming much quicker when I do eat most of them back. :) But, try to experiment what works best for you.

Oh believe me, it's not only kids. I was at the store one day and a woman came in with her baby, Her baby started crying (as most babies do) and these two adult women were snickering about her. I was looking through clothes right next to them, They were saying, "OMG, if that were my kid I would have just stayed home, why…

PLUS, I was in a bad car accident when I was 17. I have a bad hip and a bad knee. The one thing that will make it better is more movement, increase the production of Sinovial Fluid. I guarantee your issues will seem to fade away the more exercise you do. Strengthen your body. Plus, the weight loss will do wonders for that…

I don't see how someone can hate exercise. When you get in a good exercise your body releases endorphins to give you that feel good feeling, that is why in many cases exercise becomes as addictive as a drug. Maybe you should just keep doing it, be very positive. Try to do things that you enjoy more so it will be something…

The thing about canned goods are that they have been preserved with a ton of salt and additives. It's not bad, but it's not as good for you as the raw stuff. but it is totally understandable if your budget will not allow the more expensive fresh ingredients. When food is fresh your body can process it better because it is…

Your body knows what it needs. Provide, and it shall cooperate :) Water fuel exercise rest. :) All important, Don't deprive it.

I have scars upon scars upon scars and all those are on top of stretch marks. I am very confident though, I haven't had children yet so I know more will be coming eventually. I really don't mind. I have a supportive bf who knows all that I've been through and think I am beautiful because of all the stuff I've been though.…

Just make sure you drink a lot of water and make sure to sweat it out ;) there goes all that Sodium. :) Definitely, if you beat yourself up one day you may become discouraged the next. Stay positive and know that tomorrow is a new day.

I understand. It's great to do it for yourself, but it feels so great when people acknowledge your effort and results. My mom is supportive, but I don't think she really gets my approach to my weight loss. She says that I'm constantly eating and I need to watch it or else I'm gonna get fat, I've told her many times that…

I absolutely love the Paleo Diet. I tried it for a month, although my grocery bill was a bit pricey, I felt much better and looked much better. :) Paleo is short for Paleolithic, as in the era in which cavemen lived. They were strong and healthy because they lived off of the land and ate many plants that were available to…

I know a few people from there, their accent is really strong. ;)
