Honestly I'm not really sure why everyone has to be so hostile to the OP in this case. Yes, she might be a little resistant to completely changing the method that has been working for her--I would be to. That being said OP, to insinuate that everyone who is attempting to diligently count their calories has an eating…

You say you're feeling hungry and maybe it's not the number of calories you're eating but rather what those calories include. Maybe you're not getting enough protein or carbs or fats and if those nutrients are out of whack for your body you can definitely feel hungry. When I was first starting I was using the default…

I'd like to participate :)

I can't wait until the new season!!!! I'm so excited to see Peter Pan and Ariel!!!!!

It will probably all even out eventually. I will go a week or two without losing much of anything and then suddenly drop 5 lbs. Other times I will consistently lose 1-2 lbs a week. I don't change my diet too much and there aren't any drastic changes in exercise. I think sometimes our bodies just take a little while to…

This isn't to say schools shouldn't be concerned about providing nutritionally beneficial options in school because they absolutely should. That being said, there is an insane number of people who qualify for free and reduced lunches who (in all honesty) probably shouldn't. I know there are plenty of people in this country…

My parents NEVER kept soda in our home when we were growing up. When we ate meals at home our choices were milk (we always had to have a glass with dinner); juice, or water. Juice has a lot of sugar too, but at least there was more nutritional value in it than soda. When we went out to dinner or to the movies we were…

I dip strawberries in Nutella---I think they taste just like chocolate covered strawberries :)

My husband and I both have celebrities we think are incredibly attractive--but that doesn't mean that we want that other person more than each other. Am I the most physically attractive girl??? Absolutely not!!!!! And if my husband told me I was the hottest girl in the world, I would know he's lying--but that doesn't mean…

Thanks for the support everyone!!! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has experienced this and been really excited!!!

I work out at home but afterward I shower, make dinner, and then usually catch up on TV/email until about 10 ish when I prep lunch for the next day and then do some reading before sleep!

I frequently have lower back pain and I really love doing pilates. It slower paced and it really stretches out and strengthens my back so I have pain less frequently. It's also really helped my posture which in turn has helped with the back pain! Hopefully your doctor gives you the okay soon because it has really helped…

Everyone who has posted so far has made some really great points and has been super supportive (I love this site for that reason)! I'm not really for or against gastric bypass, but I can see the need for it in certain situations. We've tried to talk my father-in-law into considering the procedure because he's had a hip…

I'm OBSESSED with NY&Co. I also really love Loft and Banana Republic and White House Black Market (a little pricier). I'm 25 so not much older than you. You can also get on pinterest and there's a women's fashion category and I use that all the time to look at pictures people have posted from fashion clothes to find out…

My diary is open. Feel free to add :)

Very proud to be a Ravenclaw!!!!

Like somebody else mentioned, I reward myself in ways other than eating. I'll go get a pedicure or a massage or treat myself to some new shoes :) I'm an emotional eater so it really helps to reward myself in other ways and establish those new habits. What also has helped me is to plan out everything I'm eating in advance.…

I absolutely do this!!!! Of course I work in finance so that might be a contributing factor....

My husband has wanted to go as Master Chief from Halo and have me go as Cortana since we started dating!!!! I don't think it's going to happen this halloween...but maybe next year??? This year we were toying with the idea of Amy and Rory from Doctor Who :)

Chipotle! And I crave it probably 2-3 times a month (so far I've been avoiding the temtation!!!!) What are you / were you looking forward to most about losing weight?

This is the second time I've used this site to lose some weight and in both circumstances I've had success on 1200 calories per day. I don't know how carefully you weigh and measure all of your portions, but I'm not always able to measure as carefully as I would like--so I approach it with the attitude that if I'm…

I think somebody mentioned Leipzig (which is beautiful and if you're a music buff you can visit the Thomaskirche which is where Bach worked and wrote a huge portion of his music--his remains are also there). Wittenberg is also really cool and you can visit the Castle Church where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis. I also…

I feel your pain. 2 years ago I was hovering around 190, got down to about 170 and then had a back injury and ended up on steroids and got up to 207. I started loggin on this site a couple weeks ago and slowly losing, but I know how you feel!!!!

Most days I just eat a Chobani greek yogurt when I get to work (I have to wait a couple hours before eating after I wake up because of the medicine I'm on for my thyroid). If I'm in the mood for something more substantial, my new favorite thing to do is to crack an egg into a muffin tin (you can do several and once and…

I'm a 27 y/o, 5'8", weigh 204 lbs, and I have my diary set at 1200 /day. I try to stick very closely to that number in terms of logging, but I'm pretty sure I'm actually eating closer to 1300 to 1400 calories considering a) I'm not always perfect at measuring portions and b) When I cook, I like to taste things so a bite…
