It gets easier and easier, MFP is the only program i have stuck to for more thank 2 weeks. Good Luck!!!!

Welcome!!!!:smile:

The general consensus is to weigh once a week, but I weigh in every day. The morning is the best time to weigh yourself. Good Luck!!!!

I Have tried every diet, I have tried eating healthier and have lost weight and gained it back, With MFP I have lost more weight than I have ever lost , feel great , and am more knowledged on calories of food. As I look back I know what foods I will never eat again..... Good Luck

Welcome!!!!!

I always use the number the machine at the gym says I burned, Sometimes it is over and sometimes it is under what MFP says. MFP does not account for any variations of speed you may do while working out........Also when looking for a generic food I always search for the one with the highest calorie count even though I may…

I did not even know they had a game, is it worth buying?

My wife cooked these sloppy joes from scratch and they were awesome, I am almost positive they have less salt than the canned stuff!! http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/04/sloppy-joes/

That's one thing I wish my parents did for me , so it is definitely a goal for me to make sure my kids are eating healthy!!!! Keep up the good work..................

Thank to everyone for their input, Just wanted to make clear that I am not going up to complete strangers and telling them how bad the food they are eating is, only Immediate family and real close friends...........:smile:

Good point, I just recently quit smoking and I never gave a crap when people said how bad it was for me but people telling me only made me want to quit more..........

I have never counted calories in my life, and Have never lost soo much weight, counting calories does work!!!!!! As far as buying a scale if you do not buy a scale which I recommend buying , than buy a tape measurer so you can track your progress. Good Luck!!

Welcome to MFP! :smile:

Have you measured yourself? Sometimes you may not lose weight but you do lose inches.......Keep up the good work the lbs will come off !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very easy program to use!!!! Welcome.............:smile:

welcome and good luck!!!!! Lots of support and answers for all your questions here at MFP........

I do all the time, and like wise I would rather pass on the food than eat it, I used to eat Dairy queen twice a week and get a lg reeses cup blizzard until I looked up the calories and saw it was nearly 1,000. I would rather skip the ice cream than eat it and waste my time at the gym. The good thing though is you can warn…

Stretching is key to not being sore, Lactic acid is what makes you feel that way!! But Ice is what helps that. Keep up the good work!

I usually go in and start with some light weight lifting 3 sets of ten, then I do 20 to 30 minutes on the elliptical and then 30-40 min on the treadmill. I try to equal the two(Treadmill + elliptical) to 60 minutes.

It is def considered a workout, if you have a nintendo Wii there is a game called just dance 2 that my wife plays and I have tried it and would consider it cardio especially 20-30 minutes worth. Good luck!!

I usually notice if I do not go to the gym I do not lose any weight that day....But everybody is different so it may work.

Pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine was in July, I was taking my son on an amusement ride with my wife and the safety would not close because I was too big, but I continued to gain until one day (10/18/2010) I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 309lbs. That was the day that I found MFP!!!!

Philadelphia Eagles!!!!! Who by the way are going to win today against Green Bay.

I think if the turkey is oven roasted it is better for you, and turkey bacon is a better choice than regular Bacon. As far as it being processed I have no Idea...

Same boat here first goal 109 lbs, second goal 124. My starting weight was 309. Welcome to MFP I joined in October and it really helps you stay committed to healthier eating habits. Good Luck!!

OK I did not know what a kibe was so I Googled them, they look really good so I don't blame you. But on days where I eat too much I look at it as looking at the old you and realizing you do not want to eat like that. There was times before I started MFP where I was on a daily basis eating some 4 or 5000 calories a day.…

I stole this from yahoo answers , " Best vegan dish ever; baba ganoush grill some thin sliced eggplants [or fry 'em in loads of oil to max your calories]. Then put it in the food processor with a spoonful of tahina [sesame-seed paste], some garlic, salt and pepper and finally, slowly add a lot of good olive-oil. It tastes…

Too much info!!!!
