I just don't count them. Even if they are on there I add it up myself on paper & don't go over what my daily intake without exercise should be.

I found it on YouTube and it's the full videos. If you have a computer just turn it towards an open area & workout. I'm going to try this.

Wow... What an inspiration you all are. Seeing the pics of the Great progress made. Great job ladies.

I think of how unhappy I have been.

I enjoy having a candy bar once a month on my way home from the store. I NEVER let anyone see me eating it. :o/ man is it good. The thing is I an NOT a "sweets" person, :o)

To be honest I don't consider those "exercise calories". "EXTRA". I will add up my calories & make sure I stay within my regular intake for the day.

WONDERFUL! What a great feeling it must be. Keep up the Great work.

GREAT JOB! What an inspiration.

My bf of 7 years has never ask my weight & anytime I mention "Man, I went up or lost X amount" He always says "I think you look great". I would tell him IF he ask.

You are so right... Welcome back. I don't think any of us are "New" to diet & exercise. It's all about NOT giving up. We can do this! We can all lose the weight & become healthy. The biggest key is Consistency. I look forward to hearing what works for you & sharing what works for me.

I'd love to be friends. I could use some motivational, encouraging friends as well. I have 3 that are Wonderful. It's never easy losing weight & we can all use as much support from those who understand we can get. I have 40 pounds to lose & I've got a little added speed bump... I have MS BUT I am NOT letting it stop me.…

Welcome, You've come to the right place. People are very encouraging here. What a wonderful thing to do for your family & YOURSELF. It makes such a difference in your overall health. I love all the wonderful options this site gives you in logging. You can do this!!! I'm here if you ever need encouragement. GOD Bless

I haven't found most of what I've eaten. I sometimes just go with what is near what I've eaten & closer to the calories. I never go under the calories but always make sure if anythingnto go a little over. Say it's a Birrito (Bean & cheese) I log it as something I'd get from Taco bell... :o) I should probably log each…

Bottom line is MFP is supposed to be a place everyone can come to get support & track their weight-loss. There are days when I will only eat 500 cals for the day. It's something that happens from time to time. Plus PLEASE remember that sometimes medical problems prevent a person from eating from time to time. I have MS &…

I understand some days being worse but I can go all day & only have 300 cals for the whole day. It's rare that I won't eat at all but it has happened. Those days are when something is truly going on with me (I have MS & can get what's called MS fatigue which puts me out for days or weeks just being too tired to do…

Thank you all. Good to hear it's not just me. The meal replacement sounds like a good way to go.

Celery, cucumbers & lettuce are all great to snack on. It's said celery is a negative calorie because of the chewing & the fact it's mostly water. I love it as a snack. #1) Celery One cup of celery (120g) contains only 19 calories. It takes far more than 19 calories to prepare, eat, digest and eliminate this one cup of…

I'm here for you. You can do it! NEVER give up. If you have a set back pick yourself up & start over. I always say "The weight didn't come on overnight... It won't go away overnight. It took a lot of work (food) to get in the shape we're in... It's gone take a lot of work (exercise) to get our bodies back into shape". You…

Sandra, I understand your position or at least I think I can. I have MS & there are times I can't do things because of a "Flare". I keep telling myself though... I WILL do what I can... When I can. I will NOT give up! If I can't do the treadmill... I'll left some weights with my arms... If I can't do anything at the time…

Reading these post & seeing the little ladybugs moving lower on the weight "track" is very motivational for me. I can't wait to see mine moving & I know it will. I know we can each do this! It's just consistency & believing in yourself. Easier said then done sometimes... Good luck everyone!
