Had mine out in 2007, didn't have any real food complications.

Welcome and good luck! You will get out of this site what you put into it! It is all about you, but you now have the support of hundreds of people that are going through the same things you are :smile: Feel free to add me as a friend.

What a great looking mix! Her puppy energy should provide you with plenty of exercise, win-win!!!:smile:

Keeping track of your food is essential for successful weight loss. I too, have been slipping with logging my food and it is beginning to show on the scale :( I have been trying the last few days to re-commit to logging my food every day. Getting better, but haven't quite gotten there. When I was logging everyday I was…

It will be hard, but instead of snacking on junk, try drinking a bottle (or glass) of water every time you feel the urge to smoke. This will do several things, help clean your body of toxins (much needed because of the smoking), fill you up (reduce desire to snack) and you will replace a bad habit with a good one (A MUST).…

Good question, but I think you answered it for yourself. The reason it is so hard is because it is so easy to drink the sugary stuff and caffine is addicting. Anyone that has ever gone through caffine withdraw can understand this. You were lucky, you didn't have a lot of choice in the matter so you're accustomed to…

Mug Omelets! They are quick, simple and the kids can pick what they want to add. Google mug omelets and you will find many variations. Fun for the kids, quick easy clean up AND they can just eat them out of the mug on the go if necessary. You can use egg substitute if you want.

This could be important: have your Doctor do a blood test to see how your vitamin levels are. The reason I say this is because you could be low in Vitamin D, your body naturally makes Vitamin D when you are in the sun, if you are spending more time indoors you could be low on D. This can affect your energy levels big time,…

OMG :laugh:

LOL, the cool-aid comment is a way to say you have bought into the program or you have taken the bait and are hooked. Not the best explanation, but it might help; it is just a metaphor. As for foods, there are no special foods. It is everyday eating, normal food; you are just learning portion control, moderation and a…

There is no real 'diet' really. By entering your information MFP calculates the calories you should consume to meet your weight loss goals. By tracking what you eat and paying more attention to what you are putting in your body you can begin to make the nutritional changes necessary to help you lose the weight. Some…

I started with 101lbs to lose and am down by 20 thanks to the accountability and support of this site. You can do it and starting small is best. My current goal is to get out of the 250's and I have 1 lb to go, I hope to be there this week. My next goal will be to get out of the 240's :bigsmile:

You can us bottles filled with water or sand (or dirt). You can use cans (vegetable or soup). There are lots of options, just look around your house for something that you can comfortably and safely hold in your hands. You can even use books. Just a few thoughts.

Wow, what a wonderful feeling that must be. The smile of pride on your face says it all. Great Job!

We are all in this together, remember that! We are here when you need us to give you a push or to just listen to your venting. Start by having a heart to heart chat with your boyfriend, ask him to help you by dishing out smaller portions. He can go back for seconds, but you don't need the temptation. I understand your…

So what is your new program?

I love the Fibor One bars too, BUT.... they give me instant gas (I know TMI) Had to stop eating them :laugh: I mean instantly, it is the strangest thing. As for the constipation, I find a banana a day has helped me. You would think that eating healthier would help the body function better, not always the case.

Welcome and good luck. I think you will find everyone here ready to support your journey. What kind of tips are you looking for?

You're doing great; you should be very proud!:happy:
