How much water are you drinking a day? Normally, I listen to my body when I get an urge to eat again shortly after a meal. Majority of the time my body is telling me to drink more water and when I do, I feel fine. Try increasing your water intake--you might not be hungry but thirsty instead.

I had a bad day yesterday..ate almost 3 cups of moose tracks ice cream--it was so bad. I worked out and then ended up eating the exercise calories (i know :( but TODAY I am back on track! Getting in some fruits and planning out my meals so that I won't go over my calorie goal. Just bounce back from the "bad day" and move…

Did you update your goals? Put in your new weight and weight goal. You don't want to torment yourself for no reason--just to be more accurate

Jog/run more and/or jog/walk on an incline on the treadmill. When I was in college, my friend and I used to jog up and down the hills; not only did this really build my stamina but my thighs were so toned...I'm trying to get those thighs back!

Welcome Josh! This is a really supportive community. Remember to take it one day at a time and to stay within your calorie goal. If you are new to exercise, start slowly and stick with the fun stuff! Good luck!

AWWW You all look AMAZING! I am so happy for your family! Thank you for the motivation and inspiration!

OMG!!! I am 5'11 and this just gave me sooo much life!!! Thank you so much!! I needed this <3

I wish I didn't have an appetite after working out! I usually get hungry within 30-1hr of working out! I sometimes eat some of my calories back but generally I do not. At first I thought to not log the burn at ALL and just stick to my calorie goal but not logging the burn will just drop my motivation to work out…

Was going to do 44 minutes of Gold's Gym but I had a busy busy day so I sneaked in 20 minutes of Zumba cardio

I'm in! Hello MFP Users! Name: Scookbey Age: 23- Will be 24 March 7th! Height: 5'11 Start Weight: 2/27/15 (218.3) Goal Weight: 4/1/15 (214.0) I am excited!

U are NOT exercising and is still losing weight! I am SOOOO jealous....Keep going! The weight will melt off..just don't give up!

I either have fruit (I'm eating a sweet pear right now-11pm) or some tortilla chips. You could be thirsty or just want something to have before bed...peanut butter, tortilla chips, popcorn, oranges, ritz crazkers, whatever but of course in moderation.

I don't...if I don't lose any weight then I will wait to see if I lost any weight the next week-on the same day around the same time. If I have gained weight, I painfully enter it into MFP.

Once a week, around the same time on the same day..that is the most accurate weight. So if you start off weighing yourself at 10am on Thursday Morning, do this every Thursday at 10am.

How Do I join? I feel so discouraged at the moment

Sugar and Bread are the BIG two for me...In my college years, sugar, sugar, sugar and every meal pretty much consisted of heavy carbs...I'm not consciously trying to fit in macros yet but I will get there!

I would love to join but what's the challenge???? Type of Exercise? # of pounds? Eating challenge?

Whole Fruit Fruit Bars! They are soooo good! 70 calories, low-fat & low-sugar..made with real fruit!

OMG!!!! I was thinking the same thing this morning! I have been losing weight pretty steadily and have been dedicated to my workout. Last week, I ate M&Ms for like 3 days in a row (I still worked out but my sugar was over) and then on Saturday, I celebrated a college friend's birthday-there was pizza, cake, chips & salsa,…

6.6 lbs in 3 weeks????! Congratulations!! Keep up the good work! Don't let one day discourage you-you have many more bad days to come- Keep moving forward!

I'm 24 and will be losing 20 lbs! I don't have a goal date..just taking it one day at a time! I am going to add you!

Cellulite is annoying but they are badges of having a baby, losing weight, gaining then losing weight, etc. Rub on cocoa butter everyday..they will fade...still rock the clothes you want to though. I have them on my arms so I get a little self-conscious about wearing tanktops and no-sleeves but hey, everyone has them.

Try eating at least 1200 calories. I am saying this because you don't want to eat so little that your body is starving and also you want to make sure that you can have a consistent and healthy decline in weight. If you cut your calories too much, you will end up eating terribly. Continue having well-rounded meals so you…

This is a really great Idea!

It's all mental..sometimes we just want to eat something so that we can go to bed feeling satisfied. Once you break that habit, you will be fine. If you are actually really hungry then you can eat wheat bread, a serving of fruit, or tofu & this will help you to feel guilt free. I have the same problem most days; once I…

I had to be at work at 10am but I went to sleep around 2:30am. I told myself that I was going to workout before work so I set my alarm to 8:15a (I work very close to my job). I snoozed until 8:25am and told myself that I was going to workout after work (which rarely happens). I realized that I did go over my calorie intake…

OMG!! This is amazing! My first goal is to lose 20 pounds and my birthday is exactly one month from today. I am hoping to reach my 2nd tier by then (215-I am currently 219). If I lose more than that by March 7th, I would be so happy but I am just trying to take it one day at a time. Some days I go over my limit but I am…

It's either water retention or you're not burning the amount calories that you think you are burning. I don't own a heart monitor or one of those fancy fit watches but if you want to be very clear on how many calories you are burning, maybe you should invest? With water retention, I read that you should drink more water to…

I eat at night too but I have learned that it's all mental. I would grab anything just to satisfy me before I get into bed and then I will regret the decision the next day (whatever I eat after 12am, I log it for that day so it takes away from what I can eat later on that same day). I've realized that I just need to break…
