Excellent

I use the extra for the mistake that day - or my wine....usually do not eat all back...I use as my buffer....22 down and 16 to go!

My daughter said - forget the number - go with what looks and feels comfortable.....I have to go buy jeans this week....probably still a 14 in some, but hoping for a 12....but as long as they are not baggy, like I am wearing now....it is all good.

I am 5' 2" and CW is 165 - I was at 232 at the top....my current goal weight is 145 which puts me in a healthy BMI. I weighed 132 when I got married and people thought I was fat - I look at pictures and that truly isn't so - I am 55.5 and I think after 2 kids a 142-145 weight will work for me - not married weight but not…

Dannon Oikon 2x protein - love it!

As most have said - just acknowledge with a Thank you, yes I have...no need for detail and be proud of it - I went to a retirement party in Dec. - most had not seen me in 3 year and I have lost 65 lbs.....It was wonderful to hear how great I looked and how beautiful my clothes were (by those who were afraid to…

I agree with NeverGoingToQ - or how about a mini trampoline - DVD's are great....don't get killed walking...on weekends maybe a park with the kids?...have them join you in exercise, too. Agreed, don't tell hubby about diet...just do it....good idea throwing his "gifts" out....the kids plates will be the hardest...long ago…

Lots of first starters here - I am 55.5 - gained 100# over 33 years and 2 kids - now have 2 grand babies and want to be ready to be a fit grandma.....Jan.1, 2007 weighed 232....on my own with a calorie book and treadmill I weighed 182 on July 1, 2007....kept that weight off, but in September thought I best lose at least 40…

One of the best feelings EVER.....I had someone tell me I needed some new jeans since the ones I was wearing were baggie....glad baggie isn't "in"...congrats!

Job well done!

Well, sounds like a few of my friends - I am here - married 33 years, still - (55 y.o. - mother of 2 daughters - and Grammy to McKenna and Camden) -I do work for a Christian Counselor who does 5 day intensives to save marriages - just throwing that out there - sometimes shallow cannot be made deep - I have friends who…

way to go - I told a bunch of people on FB and got two to join....yeah! another gal is now touting MFP....this app is amazing!

variety pack as everyone is bringing something! Screw the calorie count today! Have a wonderful day!

I always try to say something about their diet - and believe me, it is junk - BUT she has chosen this path and is NOT losing weight and is a WW member....you can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.

My daughter turned me on to Goodwilll, Thrift stores and consignment shops - I got the BIGGEST BARGAIN ever a few weeks ago - silk Coldwater Creek jacket - retail a minimum of $119.....cost $9..... smelled like perfume so dry cleaning = $9.30 - total cost $18.30 - can you say "coup"?...need to find a pair of jeans that fit…

I was a size 22 - now a loose 14...I too stress eat, but will now pick up a book instead - understand...please feel free to friend me down 65# and still going strong - my profile shows 15 lbs but in 2007 lost 50 and kept it off....just need to lose 40-50 more. Diane

these are all wonderful moments and worthy of so much congratulations! I now need a belt to hold up pants - don't know how I shoved my FA (fat *kitten*) in to the cords I am now wearing with a belt - I am not a "size" girl - since all sizes run very differently - I have worn size 16 or 12..... Today should be interesting…

I love when I am offered anything - but especially dessert - and I say "no thank you"...and then someone says - "great will power" - empowerment!

use a smaller plate and plan!

you are what you eat!

@dbanks80 - funny girl....I am at a loss for dinner as my husband and i are leaving the house about 3;30 to scout for deer. Daughter coming in to hunt Saturday and Sunday....:-)

thanks on that - nice to know so many of us love chocolate and "ration" it!

I try not to eat all my exercise calories ....I have a calorie count on my treadmill - I use that and it is about 1/2 of what MFP says I burned....try keeping track but 1/2 what MFP says and then don't eat all back....I have been losing 1.5-2 a week this way. Good luck

feel free to friend me - it is so about the little victories - 3 weeks ago I set out to lose 6 pounds by Thanksgiving - now I may overshoot that goal - makes it even better . I know many run, but I have never run, just briskly walked (although I started not so briskly)...I use a treadmill, because of where I live. I have…

Wow....you should be so proud, a total inspiration and you'll never go back!

sounds delightful - thanks

good to know - in the rice cooker - is there a timing difference?

sounds yummy

I really want to do this - keep us posted!

Short day at work - and soon exercise and finally after 4 nights in a row eating out - I am eating IN!
