Thank you @ChelleDee07 I have been food prepping for the week. I make BF, lunch, dinner and snacks and eat every two the three hours as often as possible. No processed food at all...or at least majority of the time, may use something for convenience purposes but very rarely. Right now I have it set to lose 1.5 lbs. a week…

Thank you for posting this. Very inspirational! I read about your weight loss in the other threads and I appreciate you sharing your journey! I saw that you ate 1200 calories a day. When you inputted your goals into MFP..how many pounds a week did you put in as your goal? I find it hard to only eat that amount of calories.…

Ugh, I had an awful weekend. Still struggling with them. I did great all week. We went out to eat Friday with friends that are in town and I have a very difficult time making good choices. When I am spending $ I want something good! I picked stuffed grouper and opted for asparagus and rice pilaf as sides. I only ate half…

I joined this thread last Wednesday, so I feel like I would weigh in then...but I weighed in today on the site because I am trying to do that every two weeks. So going to post my stats today:) SW: 276.6 CW: 257.8 GW: 160 Goals for September: 254.6 - log everyday - I logged in everyday but wasn't good about logging all my…

Hope everyone doesn't mind if I join this group! This has been a slow journey for me. I start and stop all the time. I have set small monthly goals so I don't get discouraged. I have a huge problem with stress eating and any material or articles that anyone may have on changing this habit would be greatly appreciated!! My…

I decided to post tonight because I have been reading all of your posts and I am very glad I found this group. I already messed up my goal and felt very defeated. But reading through everything I dont want to give up like I normally do. I don't know what it is... it seems when I set these goals I end up doing worse. I set…

Hi! My name is Margie and I would like to participate for June! I have always had challenges with drinking and I really want to cut back to help with my weight loss goals. I want to be realistic so I am gong with a moderation goal. AF Sun - Thurs and F-Sat mindful moderation. I read through May's thread and I am looking…

Nice! The beard is a good touch too:)

I am in!

Yes I am reducing calories...and yes, I always have done this. Thanks for your post...it makes sense. I know it's about calories in/out. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a factor. This go around at almost 49, I allow myself to eat what I want and drink wine occasionally and it puts me over and is the obvious culprit for…

Fast food is my poison...in the past if I was feeling bad or upset, I would literally make myself sick eating the junk. Chips and Hawaiian sweet rolls too...lol. So like many said here...I don't have it in my house....and I don't go to fast food places. I also talk myself through some of it because I do have some things…

I am in...I have about 100 to lose!

I have done MFP before but didn't take advantage of the forums and the friends! I have started again and I have 100 lbs to lose. I think I really need to the motivation to get there and this sounds like a fun group!

Good for you! The first step to change a low self esteem is realizing the problem and making steps to love yourself in your own way. If that means not going on social media than so be it. I do agree if you are going to love yourself, you should stop calling yourself a weakling....lol! How about a "weakling that is making…

I weigh in on Monday's and didn't post until today because I was frustrated...but I got over it...lol! I didn't lose last week...but I also indulged on Super Bowl Sunday and other things over the weekend. So I have noone to blame but myself and I have moved on and got back on track! Starting weight (2016) - 269 Goal Weight…

All great suggestions! Thank you...I went with logging things that were similar. I think it was a fair estimate of what I ate. I didn't over due it for once!

Cool! This site is awesome!

It was difficult...everything looked so good! So most likely, unless I have to, I will avoid as well!

Thanks! I was proud of myself, because I always over do it at buffets!

Ok, thank you! I searched for chinese buffet and some of the items were comical...lol. But I did my best to plug in similar items, thank you! A walk and lots of water to help with all that sodium is in order:)

Hi, I just wanted to post to this thread, because I want you to know how much better I feel to see that I am not the only one out there! I am a single parent to a 6 year old boy. His father acts like "father of the year" but very rarely gets him or is capable of taking care of him properly. In fact he used to get him on…

I weigh myself everyday. Can't help it. But my mindset is that I know that it will fluctuate. I also see big peaks and valleys at certain times during my mentraul cycle and know that is why I may see weight gain.
