Chicken and vegetables, chicken and vegetables, and chicken and vegetables. Then I might have some chicken and vegetables....

I'd love to connect with anyone who would like a friend!

Yes yes yes!!!

I probably will log as good as I can...it's hard to calculate calories in some of those items. I'm not too worried about the food though. It's going to be the wine that tips me over the calorie edge! Can't wait!

I have some items (like the hot cheetos for example) that I just cannot buy because I know I can't control myself and only eat a single serving. However I found that if I buy the item, portion the whole thing into baggies/containers and label each one with the calorie content on there it really helps a lot. You may still…

Great advice guys, thank you very much!

Yep, mine came yesterday! I am 250 lbs (have slowly gained about 100 pounds in the last 10 years). I know I am overweight...by a lot, I know I look big. I have been avoiding pictures for a while now and was in a group picture yesterday for the holiday. I was totally humiliated by how huge I really look. It has made me feel…

This is like the best advice ever! Thank you!

I really like this. I like how you pointed out that it helped you "remove the urgency" of losing weight. Because you are so right. When you get to your goal weight you still have to keep working to keep yourself healthy! This will help me "forgive myself" when I have had a bad day or bad week! And to just keep moving…

Thanks for posting everyone, it is very inspirational!! You ALL have done a fantastic job! Can't wait to get to my goal.

50 pounds! Awesome job! I started out at 243 and have lost 14 pounds...:still have a looong way to go.

I've been slacking like crazy lately! I'm back though. My goal is to track every calorie every day no matter what. Seems super simple but after falling off the wagon for the past month or so it's a good goal for me!

I normally hate New Years resolutions but this year mine is about my attitude in life and towards others.

Yay good job!!

Wow that's great! I track my steps with my iPhone and I have forgotten it at home the last two days when I went to run errands. But truthfully I need to step it up and do some actual exercise.

Thank you everyone!

How has everyone been doing on their goals they set for themselves? I didn't quite hit my goal of walking 10,000 steps yesterday but I am almost there today!

So true!

Welcome! Good job on your weight loss thus far!

Wow great job on the weight loss so far!!

How crazy! I literally only have 1 pair that fits as well. My husband was like, do you only have 1 pair of jeans? I was like yes! I have a pair that I could fit into if I lost 15 pounds and then 1 more pair I could fit into if I lost 20-25 pounds.

I too have struggled with a binge disorder my whole life. Before I used the depo provera shot 10 years ago the bingeing didn't affect me too badly. But after I started gaining weight and continuing with my binge eating I gained about 100 pounds. So now I sit 100 pounds heavier and I am having to confront my issue (which I…

Yes, not being ashamed of how I look in pictures or around people I haven't seen in a long time will be one of the best things.

Welcome! Sorry I can't be of much help recommending exercises...right now I am just trying to walk 10,000 steps per day.

I hear ya! I haven't been able to shop in anything other than plus size for 10 years. I always feel embarrassed when I go into a store to shop for my daughter because I'm afraid the employees will think "doesn't she know we don't carry her size?" And have you noticed that stores that do sell plus size a lot of times the…

I currently stay home with my daughter but when I was working coming home and working out was the LAST thing I wanted to do! It is hard to motivate yourself to do that, I think it's good that you are setting a realistic goal.

For my challenge I am going to aim for 10,000 steps everyday. Yesterday I ran a couple errands, paced the house a couple times, and took a 30 minute walk and I think I was at 6,000or so? Can't remember exactly and I haven't been able to find my step count for yesterday. But if it really was only 6,000 then I have a lot of…

I use it and really have nothing to gauge it against but I love it! I always have my phone in my pocket.

Hi mclark552! My name is Erin, welcome! I use my iPhone to count my steps and I do the same thing you do! I pace the room while watching tv, love seeing how many steps I've taken throughout the day!

Nice to meet you Claire!
