Starting weight: 190 Goal weight: 135 Current weight: 186.8 Total weight lost: 3.2 This week's successes: Have cut back on the sugar. Trying to eat fewer 'white' foods This week's challenges: Have been sick (really sick-in-bed sick) so no exercise. (But on the bright side, no appetite)

Starting weight: 190 Goal weight: 135 Current weight: 187.4 Total weight lost: This week's successes: Nothing this week--some weeks you just feel like Charlie Brown This week's challenges: Just could not make myself exercise with a sinus headache. Gone now. This week will be better

A couple days late, but I'd like to join... Starting weight: 190 Goal weight: 135 Current weight: 186.6 Total weight lost: This week's successes: Just joining--so hard to post weight for all to see This week's challenges: School starts back today. My "lunch" is at 10:30, meal timing is so hard.

Got mine for Christmas too. I'm a One user, but I want in. https://www.fitbit.com/user/32KWV8 44 yr old, female, 41# to lose

In for ideas (ie apples and cucumbers mixed? Never thought of that one) mine is a spoonful of peanut butter and a cup of coffee in the afternoon ????

I was wondering if I was the only one who heard what OP was really saying. Great post--loved it

Great thread, thank you

A lot of people say what you did (in the title of your post) but sounds like you really don't... Just remember though, weight loss is 85% what you put in your mouth and 15% exercise. Don't get discouraged, if you are eating right, it WILL come off. Getting some exercise does make you feel awesome though, so it sounds like…

Wish I could remember which comedian said this... "That cute little dolphin tattoo on a young girl will turn into a Beluga whale when she gets old". Reason enough for me ????

My 20 yr old niece asked how much I'd lost (it was 15 at the time), she said, "Yeah, well I'd go for 15 more." I told her I was buying her "Mean Girls" for Christmas, so sad she got her feelings hurt...

I love your post! You have clearly figured it out, and you are my new role model. My new motto is "Leave room (a.k.a. Calories) for a daily treat". Life really is better with cookies ????

^YES I read an awesome forum post here recently, this girl has figured out how to lose her weight (albeit slowly) and continue to enjoy living. She's my new role model... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1193569-cookies-taste-better-than-skinny-feels?hl=cookies+taste+better+than+

My vote will always be for Casting Crowns and Mercy Me... Great stuff

Thank you all for your responses. Today I did goblet squats with db and bar only squats which is ok for now just starting out. My concern was injury after I add heavy weight. Thanks though for good advice, no more squats on the Smith ???? Someone mentioned the leg press as a sub for squats --is this a viable option?…

I've only done one day so far and I did use the Smith because I was alone and nervous about lifting with no spotter... please tell me why the Smith machine is no good and do you think it's safe to go it alone?

I was interested in this until I read that it is good for men but can be harmful to a woman's metabolism. I AM NOT CLAIMING THIS...I am asking if anyone knows if this is true. I would be interested to hear about the results/experience of women who have done IF for long periods of time.

I know this is going to sound counterintuitive, but it did work for my friend's teenage daughter. http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ Good luck to you, very frustrating problem...

I'm in, just added my name to the spreadsheet. Thanks!

I think it's "Six months from now you'll wish you had started today"? You look great, keep it up! ????

Recently I had gotten in the 1-2 a day diet coke habit. Coincidentally I also started having pain in my right hip joint. Years ago I had the same thing when I was drinking a lot of diet Dr pepper. I quit my diet drinks "just to see" if it would help and within 3 days my hip pain was gone. I tried one drink a week later and…
