Haha I love that you posted this topic!! I don't see my doctor until August this year and I am very excited to see her response! I was going to make an appointment for something several weeks ago and decided not to b/c I wanted to lose more weight before I see her again. I just want to go in and NOT get that damn "obesity"…

I went vegetarian back in November... it was a hard transition. Things were pretty successful and then I started my weightloss journey on January 1st and lost about 40lbs when I decided to go back to eating meat, and I stick pretty much to chicken. I found I was eating a lot of carbs at night with brown rice, whole wheat…

I wake up at 5:30am to make it to the gym by 6am and work out until 7-7:15. I LOVE it. It took some getting used to as I wasn't a morning person (at least not that early). But it helps to maximize my time, I don't have to go to a crowded gym at 5pm and it makes me feel great all day long. Totally worth it!

From a weight loss perspective, you can drink diet drinks and still lose weight. My mother went from 300lbs to a body builder and only gave up her diet soda going into shows. From a healthy perspective, in general, there are a lot of terrible things in soda. So it's really a personal decision about what you feel…

Haha that is fantastic!!! Can't wait till I get get that damn towel around my body!! But the other day I realized it is sooo much closer. Such a wonderful NSV!

You look absolutely gorgeous! Well done!

Never heard of the water window before... I just drink all day long and that seems to work just fine for me!

I started marking down what it said on my iphone calendar to review how accurate it was.... it as really far off. So I wouldn't worry bout it too much!

Great question! I was glad to see some answers. When I started eating healthy my BMs decrease significantly and I was concerned about it. But glad to see I am now "normal" lol

Haha I feel your pain! I tried to convince myself my boobs wouldn't be effected! Wrong!

Hey girl, welcome to MFP! The site has so much to offer.. from supportive friends, to places to get your questions answered to finding someone who happens to be in the same situation who you can relate to and draw motivation from. Logging food will help you to hold yourself countable for what you are eating and really help…

I don't count cleaning... much like another poster - I consider it a bonus is I happen to get a burn from it. In a few weekends I will be digging a patio, and laying brick all day.. I count something like as its not an everyday type of thing. But I'd error on the side of just not counting it.

I try to stop eating no later than 6pm.

Hair! Wish my curls looked like that!

I've lost about 60 and have A LOT more to go :) Feel free to add me!

I love it! It has been a great tool for me and has helped me find some success along the weight loss journey! Hope it helps you as well :)

The big picture is just too overwhelming for me so I do small goals while keeping in my my overall goal for inspiration. I have been setting a weight that I'd like to reach every two months. So the end of this month I am shooting for 275 and the end of June I am going for 225. It helps me stay focused and pushes me to…

You look gorgeous! Great job!

I was doing a vegetarian diet because I hate cooking meat and I am annoying particular about its freshness. I was becoming a slave to the grocery store having to purchase my meat daily for my meals. Seems fair enough, right? A lot of people decide to be vegetarian and just eat a bunch of past or potatoes. It takes some…

Oh my - I wish I was someone who thought that looked awful lol but I am very much not one of those people. Brilliant and wish I could have one! Lucky for me, Carl's Jr. is not in my area :)

What an excellent question! I have always wondered if I was spending entirely too much. But my husband and I (no kids) spend about $100 a week as well.

This is right on and one of the reasons I started implementing meat back into my diet... I didn't want all of the carbs at dinner time!

Def in need of some more food. I was doing the weight loss thing as a vegarian up until about 2 weeks ago. Be sure to look into all of the wonderful proteins available to vegans and vegatarians... nuts, beans, quinoa, tofu, tempeh. I was also careful on the "meats" because they have a lot of processing. I was trying to do…

Yes! Starting is half the battle! It took me YEARS to decide to start! Welcome back mfp! Now on to the dedication part... :)

Beautiful! Not only do you look fantastic but you look so happy! :) Well done!

My husband promised me an in ground pool! It's BIG goal but I am gunnin' for it :)

I am not Arab but my best friend is Egyptian and I love Egyptian people and Egyptian food! :) That's must count for something :)

I found cutting out the processed food really works wonders for me. Eating natural has been the key!

Feel free to add me! I also like having dedicated friends! I'm over 100 days of steady logging every day and 50 pounds down!

50 pounds, 3 1/2 months!
