I crave chocolate and peanut butter. I eat PB2 instead of regular peanut butter and I allow myself a few blocks of dark chocolate. I make myself drink lots of extra water during that time as well.

You are doing great! Any loss is a step in the right direction if your goal is to lose weight.

I gained 15 pounds with my pregnancy. I was already overweight and I was concerned about how that would impact my pregnancy. I worked with my doctor and a nutritionist. I ate about 300 extra calories but that didn't start until late in my second trimester.

I so feel your pain. My niece asked me to take her on a hot air balloon ride. I had talked about wanting to do this but no one wanted to go with me. I got online to book a trip and discovered that our local company had a weight limit for a 2 person ride and that I weighed too much. I am taking my niece on a ride for her…

Hello, My daughter was one of my big reasons for joining MFP and starting to get fit. She is 16 months old and I want to be able to keep up with her. I am always looking for more support. I have sent you a friend request.

In August I started out as a size 24. Yesterday I bought size 18 jeans. You can do this. You are not alone!

I am not allowed to watch Lifetime or True Crime shows when my husband is out of town. Otherwise I spend the night walking around with a hammer and a can of hairspray.

Thank you!

I started keeping my measurements. They tell a different story than the scale. I also try to set fitness goals in addition to weight loss goals. Today I increased my resistance level on the bike. I started at 1 and I am now at 9. It may not seem like a lot but I will take any small victory!

Whatever will Tallahassee do now? Stockpile maybe? Twinkies have a long shelf life.

I second Skinny Taste. In fact I am making stuffed peppers for dinner right now. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/11/turkey-stuffed-peppers-45-pts.html

You have the most amazing motivation sitting right in front of you...your child. I have a beautiful one year old daughter and she is what pushes me daily to keep trying. Yesterday was a badddd day for me, but I decided to stay committed. You can do this! If you need a friend, feel free to add me!

You are doing great. I kept a pair of pants from when I started. When I feel bad, I go put them on and look in the mirror.

Thank you both for your feedback. I have been really tired this week and it was suggested that I should eat more since I am more active. I currently eat 1790 calories each day (3 meals, 3 snacks). I am burning about 600-700 exercising but I don't eat back those calories unless I am hungry. I think my best option is to…

This is awesome! Glad your hard work is paying off.

Hi Dawn, I am sending you a friend request as well.

Hi! I have a 16 month old daughter. I have 74 pounds left to lose. Please feel free to add me. I log everyday and I try to comment as much as possible with a 16 month old running around. :)

I don't talk about it. I think partly out of fear that I might fail.

I drove up to NJ to deliver a generator to my sister and her family. I didn't do my routine for two days and I was worried things would be off. I ended up losing 3 pounds this week. Do your best and concentrate on getting things back to normal. You will lose those last few pounds!

I am very serious about losing weight. If you would like support feel free to add me.

I would exercise more but I have to say losing 2 pounds a week is really good.

I love pizza. I use to order it a few times a month. Now I use a flat out wrap, 1/2 cup low fat mozzarella, 1/4 cup pizza sauce, and I usually saute 6 oz chicken breast and 1/2 cup onions to put on top. Total calories 574 and this really is filling.

I really needed to read a story like yours today. Thank you for sharing. You look awesome!

I started going to the gym the beginning of September. The first week, I made it about 30 minutes. I did 15 minutes on a recumbent bike and 15 minutes on a treadmill on level 1. Each week I have pushed myself to workout harder and longer. I have branched out to try other machines and I have started to lift weights. Today I…

Is the nutrition information correct? It says 389 calories per serving. That is more than a slice of pumpkin pie.

Hi Isabelle, You can do this! Feel free to add me if you would like some support. ~Becky

Feel free to add me. I am a 37 year old SAHM to our beautiful daughter. I log everyday. I have about 80 pounds to go. You can do this!

Congratulations! That is so exciting!

Hi Jessica! I have 80 pounds left to lose. I don't live in GA but I went to UGA! Would love to help keep you motivated. I sent you a friend request. ~Becky

I am 37 and 242 pounds. I burn about 300 to 350 while doing 30 minutes of elliptical or other cardio according to my HRM. There is a thread on here today about how you can test your HRM to make sure you are getting an accurate reading. You might want to consider checking your HRM to make sure...
