Bumping this back up! I always could use some new pals!

Start 10/23: 220.3lbs Now 11/24: 212lbs Haven't been checking in, but I'm down a good bit. :smiley:

*waves* Hello everyone! This group seems like an awesome idea! My main goal is 97lbs away still and my secondary goal is 76lbs away. About 22 1/2 weeks left, so I think 37lbs (puts me at 175lbs) is a decent goal. Good luck to everyone else! :smile:

@snbouchard81 - A few years ago I actually use to walk / run a lot. Just a few months ago I bike, at least 10 miles a day. So yeah, I'm not exactly a sofa potato. @MeanderingMammal - I only have jog intervals, but I get what you're saying.

Nope. I don't get why people use holidays as an excuse to gorge themselves and then complain later... It's supposed to be about family, not if you can consume 1 cup of everything on the serving station. I had five candies total from the 31st to now. My son handed out candy for a little and then we went to Trunk or Treat…

Did Week 1 Day 1. I could have done it back to back at least twice after finishing, so I suppose I'm not such a "couch" starter. When they say couch, they must really mean people who have never even walked in their life... Didn't really feel good about the accomplishment since it was too easy. Hope that I don't lose…

I'm going to be weighing in on time from now on. Was too busy to visit my mom's before this weekend (she has a scale, I didn't) but she gave me my dad's scale so now I'll have no excuse. Having lot of problems with weight and eating healthy makes me gain, so sorry if I get grumpy at all! :neutral_face: Holiday Start…

I always love writing short stories, but I have written a few things besides that. The only things I've seen to completion are two adult fictions I wrote and actually got a ton of good reviews on. Funny enough, I don't like adult fiction books, but I'm rather good at writing them. Kinda in a rut in the money department and…

I'm reading a manga right now called Vidia and the Fairy Crown by Tokyo Pop. I'm still trying to get moved into my new apartment ( which is adorable by the way :smile: ) , so I haven't had time to pick up any actual books. Going to try and continue reading the iRobot series once I'm finished unpacking and decorating the…

I don't mean to sound negative, but the challenge is for the entire month instead of one day? :disappointed: As for my traits, I'm in love with every inch of me. I'm extremely vain and get complimented every single day so I have no negatives beside my weight. I love my curves, I have spectacular gray blue eyes, a perfect…

Hey there. I'm a 23 year old, single mom of one little guy and I'm 5'3 @ 220lbs. I'm a really shy person, but would like someone to help me with my weight loss journey and I can cheer them on back. :smile:

New here. Thanks for this! :smile:

Three weeks of not checking calories before the day is over, not obsessing, eating just 'crap' and not exercising and I'm down 7lbs now. Guess you're wrong on that one.

Poor people don't have those things jerk. Not everyone on the planet has money to waste on gadgets. I asked for some advice on eating. Not smart *kitten* remarks on the fact I don't have mind numbing technology at my finger tips every day like you. You can't eat less than your body burns either. I know how to weigh food, I…

I am 5'3 and 220 right now. I've never been this big and it's been getting worse the better I eat. I was 195 about a year ago and I ate anything. I'd even blow through buffets. Now that I eat less and actually exercise, I gained a crap load. It seems like the more I eat what I want when I want, the healthier and less I…

I crave udon. That or deep fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and okra. Oooo or grilled cheese. I adore grilled cheese. I have really odd tastes for growing up in a rich family who ate fancy stuff. Oh my gosh and fro yo. Chinese american food. Seafood fresh in Cali. Lobster drenched in butter. Cheddar biscuits. I also love…

I wish that there was a like button on here... Not sure how to reply to that, but I get what you're saying.

Not myself, but my roommate is an alcoholic and gained lots of weight. He says he doesn't have a problem and I honestly feel scared for his health. I've tried helping him in the past but he ended up breaking up with me because of it. I care about him a lot and have no idea how to help someone who doesn't want help. :( It's…

I didn't drink anything but water while I was eating healthy. Now that I'm drinking soda, I'm losing. Also eating mostly carbs now. I also went to the gym with my roommate and he helped me with curls, bench press and we did treadmill and bikes for 40 minutes. I even walked for about an hour to two hours a day depending on…

Haha I know, right? I want subway now that I read that. The one on my street is clean and they're always mopping, so I wouldn't care if they dropped my food anyways. I just get a whole wheat with turkey and provolone, no condiments or toppings. The bread is so yummy, even when a little stale.

I really want subway now... My roommate use to work at subway and they didn't do the things you said. My last job was at McDonald's and I can honestly tell you not to eat at the ones in Glendale AZ... The cooks don't wear gloves, do drop food and sometimes eat while making things. That and the food does not have times on…

Wow. That's super weird. I seriously thought since they had grams next to it that it was already weighed. Some of mu stuff says 'about' like popcorn and my green giant packages, which I understand needs to be measured, but most of my stuff doesn't say about.

Thanks. I'm really wanting to be healthier as well as lose weight, but I honestly feel better eating mcdoubles and ice cream than I did eating tofu, fish, veggies or drinking tons of water...

Ditto to my comment I just made. I didn't think much about packaged food being inaccurate. I always thought that they weighed it at the factory or something...

I guess that makes sense... I have seemed to be jipped on tv dinners before, or maybe those were proper and the others were over stuffed. I've never really thought to weigh something if I eat the whole package or if it's a tv dinner, bottle, or packaged supermarket lunch.

Oh no, it's cool. If I ate out, which was rare, I'd have my mom get the restaurant nutrition pdf and print it for me. Everything else I eat has a nutritional lable on it. Even lettuce is wrapped in plastic with the info on it and most of my veggies were frozen. Sprouts, the store I shop at, also has the info on all the…

I don't have a computer to log every day or I would, but I like journaling on paper best. I don't get what you mean by being honest. I don't leave out things. I'm the only one who reads it and it's not like I'd attempt to lie to myself to feel better about my diet. I always make sure to write down every lick, sip, nibble…

No computer. Track on paper.

I said in my original post that I gave up tracking two weeks ago. Please read at least that before commenting. I do not own a computer anyways so I go on here to post or track very rarely. I only logged todays food online because I wanted to see if I've been eating more calories now that I eat whatever I want to and my mom…
