You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story!

I used to be a chronic binger for most of my life but I feel I have gotten so much better. If I'm going to 'binge' it will most likely be on veg or fruit. I look at my bf who always eats in moderation too which has on a way shamed me into doing the same, I didn't want him to think of me as a pig who couldn't control…

I think walking is the best way to start, it is low impact and it doesn't require much effort. I found that watching my favourite TV show while walking on the treadmill helps a lot!

I plan to way myself every Monday. Starting weight: 118lbs Week 1: (6/7) - 118 lbs Week 2: (13/7) - lbs Week 3: (20/7) -lbs Week 4: (27/7) -lbs

I used to eat really big bread rolls for lunch and since I haven't been doing that, I can see a change in the scales. That is just a guess though, it could be something else I've done.

Your body will start to adjust to the changes, it probably takes about 4 weeks IMO. It's definitely one of the hardest things to do, especially if you love food and lots of it, like me. Just keep going! every week you get on the scales and see a change will be really good motivation, it almost becomes like a personal…

I think you have done great but the calories in that burger would be astronomical, I think you have to be a bit careful. It's one thing to treat yourself and fit things into your calorie limit...but don't you think that is a bit too much? I myself have lost the weight and then gained some back, it's so easy to do. Unless…

Exercising isn't as important as your diet but it does speed up the process of losing weight. I find walking to be the best exercise for me and I really enjoy it too, I try to do at least 20 mins a day.

I used to see him walking around my neighbourhood before he got famous in hollywood...it's funny but I didn't think he was that hunky back then...now I do!

Ryan Gosling!

One bad day doesn't mean or do anything. I had a binge just 2 days ago and followed that up with healthy eating since, I feel really good.

Mine is currently the theme of 'American Horror Story'....I'm kind of obsessed!

Hope it is okay that I'm just joining today, I really need the extra motivation. SW: (Starting weight) 132 lbs CW: (Current weight) 117 lbs GW: (Goal weight for the month) 112 lbs Weigh in Dates: 11/1 = 11/8 = 11/15 = 117 lbs (started today) 11/22 = 11/28 = End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use) =

Jasper, Canada...it's the most amazing place in the world imo.

I'm currently 5'4 and 116 lbs. I have been about 105 lbs and although I do think that might not be nice thin, I felt really good about myself at around 110 so that is my goal weight. I also have a small frame with long torso and short legs so it makes me look more proportionate.

Yum, that sounds delicious. I also really enjoy Tim Horton's 'apple and cinnamon' tea

Cutting back is definitely hard, expect to feel really hungry for the first few weeks...as someone else said, it does get easier though.

SW: 123 lbs CW: 122 lbs I gained 2 lbs this week which is disappointing but to be expected as I went out to dinner and splurged a few times. I definitely feel that if I try hard this week - exercise and cut out after dinner snacks that will be able to lose the 5 lbs before the end of October.

Try not to think like that, you've done well to get out of the 300s! We all know losing weight is hard but I actually think it's easier to lose big numbers when you have a lot to lose so you could quite simply get down to the mid 200s in a couple of months! It's definitely do-able but you just need to keep your eyes on the…

I'm 5'4 and currently 120 lbs, my goal is to get down to 115 lbs. I was this weight before and that is when I feel I looked my best. I also have a small frame.

Is this what MFP has become? It's like some people just want their egos stroked or it's a way to gain attention. Isn't the reason we're here that we all want to be healthier, inside and out...this isn't creating a healthy mind? I just don't get it, I'm sure MFP wasn't like this years ago.

The only food that's really worth it for me is pizza...especially Pizza 73.

SW: 123 CW: 119 Also - Can everyone please add their results to the spreadsheet?

Mmmm that sounds good! I haven't tried adding PB before

nuts, hummus, celery, carrots, fruit - all these in moderation of course.

Well I've gained 2 lbs (checked the scales this morning) and I've been exercising more than I have in weeks! My diet isn't all that bad either...this is really frustrating.

I've fallen off the wagon a little bit this week, I just need 3 consecutive good days with healthy eating and I'd be back on track.

Fantastic! how did you do it?

Wow that is quite amazing! well done :)

Down 2 lbs...that's a good start! Now to keep going this week.
