Ahhhh that's amazing. I might be settling for like half a fiber one brownie any minute now lol

My god what I'd do for some strawberries and whipped cream.

Glass of water! Yes going to do that and see what happens. I really don't want to eat anything. Rediscovering hunger pains after a couple years is a scary thing

Love this post! I'm with you girl!

I started MFP in 2012, lost 78 lbs by 2013 (240 to 162) and am restarting my journey again at 178. Lol I'm also just now observing the many colors my hair has been along the way!

21 pounds is huge! Totally not small potatoes .. Though you may have lost a sac of potatoes! Lol, keep t going girl you look fab!

Let's do it!

Thanks for the positive insight! I know I can do it, just have to get back that mindset!

Added! Feel free to add me people! I need some motivated buddies!

I hear you... 3 years ago I lost almost 80 lbs. I jump started my weight loss with a juice fast to experience that actual hunger feeling as well, and shrink my stomach down so I didn't always feel unsatisfied. It worked well, and then I went to nursing school. Now that I'm done I've put on about 20 lbs and I can feel…

I'm honestly so happy that I am inspiring people...I used to read these posts all day long saying the same to others and NEVER thinking I could do it. It means so much! and yes, I am pretty solid, always have been. I've got a large frame for a short girl, so I wear my weight nicely, lol

thank you!!! I even got the approval from Chuck Norris, I feel special!

Thank you! I lost about the same my first month. Started off VERY slow with exercise and eased my way in. Eventually it does become very important because you'll start to notice your skin becomes loose. I did the basics...some walking which turned to jogging and now i'm full blown running. I also do some ab work for…

Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback guys! THIS is exactly the reason I fell in love with MFP to begin with! So much support and motivation from people I've never even met! Your words all mean SO much to me, I'm actually tearing up, haha! For those on your journey, you CAN and WILL do this. It may not always…

Thank you very much! :) I began with a 1300 calorie budget, and eventually went up to 1400. Now I usually avg around 1500 ish. It all about listening to your body and giving it what it wants! After that it's actually very easy. I did the 30 day shred in october, and mostly just some walking/jogging. Now i'm focusing on…

Thank you so much!!!

that's an awesome loss in a short amount of time, congrats! I began MFP in August of 2012, and have had unbelievable results with this site! I basically started off with juicing (watch the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead for more info) I did a 5 day juice fast and lost 14 lbs, which was a HUGE jump start. For me,…

thank you everyone! it is music to my ears to hear that I am inspiring others! never thought I'd hear that. believe it and achieve it guys, it can and will happen! :)

I read something in the help section about those darn spaces! not so good with computer-y things, lol!

thank you very much! basically i've been logging on MFP, watching what I eat...I did start off with a 5 day juice fast after watching fat, sick and nearly dead. I just recently began getting strict with exercising to be honest....mostly I just believed I was capable of doing it. confidence is key, it gets you through those…

I agree and disagree with this. I understand that there is no EXACT substitute...just wondering what people use in place of it. As far as I'm concerned, many people on this post have given me excellent ideas!

LOVE this idea!!! thank you!
