If your work allows it, you can bring pre-measured snacks of almonds or nuts, something you could stick in your pocket and get to any time easily.

Congrats!!! That is a huge deal, you should be so proud of yourself. I used to say I wouldn't run even if the cops were chasing me, and now I jog 4 days a week (5km each run). We all have that extra push in us, we just have to patient till it is ready to come out. Congrats again!

LOL, That was hilarious!

I log everyday and everything, good or bad (major binges and all). Despite my current log count I am well over one year. It messed up when I went on vacation in Sept, even though I logged everyday, for some reason it reset my count, not worth the hassle to try and change it, but I do log everyday and everything, those are…

I went from BMI 42.3 to 21.1 and am now in the learning stages of maintaining.

I do eat my veggies and all the time. But just because you put those next to the big mac does not negate the fact that the big mac isn't the healthiest choice. I'm not knocking the guy, people have to learn to take things with a grain of salt.

People gotta relax on here, I wasn't making fun of the guy or anyone else, it was more of a joke. I forget how touchy people get on these posts.

I think it is hilarious that you put a salad with this!! Why bother at that point LOL! Good for you though, you should trademark this before McDonalds does.

I tried a few apps on my phone when I started running, but the best thing I did was get a Garmin watch with heart rate monitor, this thing is amazing, a bit pricey yes, but I use it 6 days a week when I workout.

Ambrosia are the only ones I will eat, they are so yummy.

Toss up between the watermelon and the garlic hummas and pita bites.

I have always struggled with my sugar intake. It is very rare that I have been under or at the daily amount. I too get most of my sugar from fruit which I eat in the morning. I don't worry about it too much as it hasn't seemed to affect my weight loss. I would worry about it more it it was coming from other sources like…

Got rid of them as I went. With so much weight loss I couldn't even get them altered. So as I lost the sizes I donated the clothing. Now there is no going back, I can't afford to buy a whole new wardrobe again after buying the one I have now LOL!

I am just starting maintenance and I am upping my calories by 50. I know it isn't much but I want to do it slowly and see what works, I don't want to increase it by a lot and have to work it back off. So I plan to increase it by 50 calories every 2-3 weeks until I feel it is stabalized and at a good place.

I have always weighed cooked meats. Like the other posters, not sure if that is right, but that is what I have been doing.

I am always over my sugar intake and was a bit worried about it, but I figure if I lost this much weight while still being over in sugar I must be doing something right, but I did worry about it so thanks for the info.

I will have continued maintaning my weight and still be exercising and be as healthy as I can be. On the never going to happen side, I will be on a beach in Bora Bora after winning a multi million dollar jackpot.

Awesome post for us newbies learning how to maintain. Thanks!

I buy a box that only has 100 calorie bags in it, so I don't have to try and figure it out. Yes they are smaller but at least I know exactly what I am getting.

The nectar of the gods!!! I love my wine. I was not going to give it up, but I did find and try Skinny Grape (not Skinny Girl) which is 80 cals per 5oz. It tastes pretty good and I don't feel as bad drinking it and if I drink a whole bottle (which is not impossible) it is only 400 cals, which is still a lot, but I can at…

Thank you so much everyone for the suggestions and trying to get the picture to work and thank so much FourlsCompany for getting it to work.

I had to ask what they were too when I first heard about them, so you are not alone I will tell you that they are CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!!! And yes the guy in the video is doing it without the jump at the end, trust me it makes a huge difference!!

You can add me.

Hmmm, should I be upset that I have never been hit on on MFP????? LOL, just kidding (happily married). But I have been on here for over a year and never seen any of that?

Ok, one last try

I love my Under Armour sports bra! I also tried Lulumelon and the hightest support bra isn't too bad. But Under Armour are my favorite.

Crap, sorry, I can't figure out this image thing. I even read the how to??? Sorry, I am a spaz. One last try

I tried one a few months back, and I know this is just me and that it was a total mental thing, but I found it harder to do it with the program. I relied too heavily on waiting for the breaks even though I felt I could run more, I didn't because of the program. I would barely make it through the running portion because I…

I started doing Optifast in June 2012. I did a modified version of Optifast because the full version was a bit too drastic for me and I thought I would set myself up for failure (I could never not eat food). Because I was on modified I didn't do any of the group classes etc. I met with a nutritionist three times during my…
