Yup...That's exactly it.

banks1850 Yer post is what sparked this.

Okay...I have heard two sides to this...Should you eat yer exercise calories?

Hmm....Didn't think about that...My averaged left over is about 60-400...hmmm I might be hurting me then I guess...Damn...and I wanna be a Dr...lol

I think if I found a night time gym I would go more...I am a night person...It's hard enough trying to get up for school in the morning and get my kiddo to school...

I am trying....I did notice that Noodles and company's food isn't too bad...Same with panera....Olive garden is really bad... I don't eat mcdonalds, arbys, burger king, taco smell, wendys....I know chinese isn't horrible...and I try to steer us away from buffets...

Ty...I'm happy to get a guys side on it! I have discussed this with him...He says he wants to...But then doesn't...He also tells me he likes me the way I am and not to worry about my weight so much. I just wish he'd make a commitment...I told him if he lost 100lbs in the next year I'd buy him a motercycle...That seems to…

See I don't know how much this site has helped me. I mean, I know there are a lot of ppl trying to lose weight like I am...I just think most have more motivation...My job means I have no choice but to be thin...And sometimes I think that's the only thing motivating me...Oh and swimsuit season lol...I don't have any friends…

I'm a bit discouraged lately....I lack the motivation around me to actually eat better. I tried today by eating soup salad and breadsticks at olive garden...that was 800cal! Crap....So now for dinner I only get something small or blow the whole day...I have a gym membership...But my b/f won't go with me and I lack the…

See I have a hard time...My daily life says that I should eat atleast 1500...(I walk alot during the day and my body is starving by 9pm) I always have something left over...It just makes weight loss a lot slower if you do it by eatingmost of y our exercise calories. My DR told me to eat no less than 1500 or my body will…

Splenda! lol I tend to try to find alternitives...If I am craving chocolate I will go out and no sugar added pudding...It curves the craving but without all the sugar....Fruit is a good substitute as well.

Thanks for the water tip...I am very guilty of drinking like 5 diet cokes a day.

My b/f is 360 lbs...He just thinks it's funny being that big...I keep telling him it's scary. I'm only 186...but I want to be back to 150...He just doesn't understand why I want to go for walks all the time...or go to the gym. I wish he did.

good luck, :drinker: welcome!

This is definetly the place to learn how! Lol...Welcome...Goodluck!!!:drinker:

omg...that's awesome...

All of my friends are skinny or have the mindset that it's better to be overweight and/or obese than to loose anything. A few of them are morbidly over weight...It makes it hard to lose weight when you are craving Cold Stone and your friend decided it's a great idea and buys it in front of you....Even my b/f has this…

I honestly can't stand the taste of them. I have a friend however that lost 30lbs doing slimfast and salads....Didn't seem healthy tho.

Good luck! :drinker: Here's to the first step!

I am having a good day, and I wanted to see who else is having one! So..What was the highlight of your alls day? Mine was: Today was the first day I stepped on the scale in over a month...And to my very happy surprise I have lost 10lbs!!

It's both. I wanna go back to healthy, and for me healthy was b/n 145 and 155 and b/n a size 5 and 7. I just wanna feel happy in my own skin.

Diet pills are never good! Most the time they are caffiene. Stay away from them! The only way to effectivly lose weight is to eat healthy and exercise. End of story.

I've not made any friends on here...And as much as my friends aren't all thin...none of them seem to want to get serious about it...So I am in need of friends too...Anyone? lol

Thank you... I shoulda died by the scale. But I didn't. THis time I wanna do it right. This time I wanna be healthy... Thank you...

I think that's my hardest part...Staying off the scale. I'm not sposed to step on it more than once a month to begin with...Long story. This site is actually very important to me... I need to do this the healthy way...I can't go back to the unhealthy way. I just really want to lose weight...

I swear...It feels as if I am never going to lose any weight.... I keep yo yo ing... :grumble: Anyone else think sometimes it's just hopeless??

I have what I call the ultimate snack plate. it contains: Snow peas (for somthing sweet) Strawberries 2 thinly sliced pieces deli style turkey (protein) A mini bagle w/ lowfat cream cheese grapes Wonderful...Oh and a diet pepsi included! It definetly fills me up...and it's all of about 400-500 calories :drinker:

Thanks! I need all the help I can get! I started a while ago cooking healthier meals for him...Even got my meat and tatoes guy to eat tofu! :laugh: Hopefully my looking good will and feeling better will inspire him! Thanks for the input!

To ev1 who has replied already thank you! This gives me a lot of confidence! :happy:

So this is my motivation... I'm Meg. I used to be around 145-155...But I started dating my b/f who is a rather large (360lbs) man. Unfourtunatly his bad eating habits, and times managed to work their way into my usually healthy diet. I am b/n 186-191. I am on a mission to lose it and be my self again. I'm just not…
