Welcome, MFP is a great community where you can get all the support you need to keep you motivated. When your in a gym it's different than when your at a beach. People know you are doing something to try and be healthier so there is no need to feel self conscious. Everyone is there to get healthier. As far as exercise I…

I have lost 82 lbs in 5 months, I still have another 42 lbs to go. I have no signs of loose skin. The bottom line is, it;s better to have loose skin than 125 lbs of extra fat!!! Good Luck

I tend to eat pretty much anything I want (Although I have not had Fast Food or soda in 5 months) I just do much better with portion control. Instead of 2 bowls of cereal I have 1, instead of 2 bowls of pasta I have 1, and my portion sizes are normal sizes where 5 months ago 1 bowl would be 3 servings and having 2 bowls…

Alcohol makes you crave fatty, greasy foods.

Welcome!!!! MFP is a great place to be!!:smile:

I had a rough time last week, anf someone told me you can't undo all your work in a couple of days. In essence just keep going even if you have a few consecutive rough days. Keep up the good work!!!:smile:

Welcome, biggest thing I think is to make Water your new favorite drink. Exercise and weight Loss go hand in hand. Log everything you eat It gets easier every day. Take measurements they are a bigger indicator of success than the scale. Weight lifting is very very important so make it part of your daily routine. Good Luck!!

Great work!!! You deserve to gloat a little, so don't hold back!!

Spanish and Italian, along with Spanglish, Sicilian (dialect of a Sicilian is completely different than the main land Italians) and Obviously English, a few words of Greek. Sometimes people look at me like I speak a different language when I talk about computers I call that Language IT(Information Technology). Everyone…

Welcome!!!:smile:

Yes I am positive.........even though I just wasted 5 minutes reading someone explaining it on google........ :indifferent: <<<<Zombie Face

Well I can assure you there will be nooo Zombie attack, however I am a fan of resident evil movies, and The show the walking dead. Glad to see that you are using this as a motivation, Any way if you cut all drinks but water from your diet, eat healthy and exercise you will see results and be able to outrun any zombie.…

Happy to hear all of your new health commitments, welcome to MFP, I to quit smoking in January and It was the best decision I have ever made. Keep up the good work!!!!:smile:

Planet Fitness is open 24 hours. http://www.planetfitness.com/ . I do not go that early but I know it is open......:smile:

On Sunday I made tuna with a little mayo and put it on top of 1/2 a plain bagel topped with velveeta cheese. 360 Calories and it was really good......

I always find that I get hungry after dinner if I eat a lot of carbs....try eating a yogurt or an orange if you get really hungry.:smile:

Mini egg rolls

I am going to lean on mini stuffed mushrooms.......you can stuff them with some type of veggie mixture.:smile:

Welcome!!

If I watch weight loss success stories on tv or the internet I get a little emotional because I relate to what that person has been through, and I look forward to where they are now........:smile:

Sorry this is really No help to your question, but I just wanted to ask you how you think that stuff tastes good, I bought it once and threw it away it was sooo horrible........:noway:

I have lost aprox: 14 2 liter bottles of soda!!!! Imagine carrying them in from the grocery store all at once.......:smile:

I will have to go with Paranormal Activity 1, part 2 was much better I guess only because I have a young child like the one in the movie, Otherwise I nick name them both " Paraboring Activity" 1 and 2

Agreed the worst movie ever and all I had to do was watch the trailer!!!

If you look on good you can find pictures in success stories, I have lost 70 lbs and with a shirt on and off I can see I have lost a lot of weight , but to me I look in the mirror and still wonder when will my stomach look like a normal persons stomach, I guess I still have a lot more fat to lose. Keep up the good…

I take my cell phone with me everywhere, and I even answer it at the gym. There are rules against it at the gym , but I own my own business and I am the sole support person so I can not miss any phone calls.....

Make an appointment with your doctor, otherwise try stretching you upper body before you get on the treadmill. I used to get chest pains which have magically disappeared with a little weight loss, every time I went to my doctor he said it's not your heart just your musclse in that area....Keep up the good work!!!

For me it was not words, it was going on an amusement ride down at the beach with my son only to have to get of the ride because I was to big for the safety harness to close. Rest assured this July I will ride that same ride. There is no worse feeling than having to walk past a whole line of people who all know why you can…
