This is so cool!! I have about 94 more to go, currently 6 down, and you're very inspiring!

Hey!!! I'm looking to lose 100 in 25 pound increments. Please feel free to add me. I track pretty consistently and am happy to offer any motivation :)

I wish I could help better with the recipes, but I'm really not sure. What helped me the most with weightless was not buying unhealthy foods. It's hard, but if it's not in the house then you can't eat it. Please feel free to add me :)

I actually have a memory from the first time I lost weight. I was sitting there, measured out half a cup of ice cream and was doing my best to stick to it, but god I wanted more. I even started pacing back and forth until I picked up the ice cream and screamed YOU DON'T CONTROL ME!!!!! I know it sounds so funny now but at…

Hey :) I'm aiming for about 100 total but 25 at a time. Would love some more friends, I'll send you a request.

I've been there where people are supportive at first, but then you're a kill joy because you also track while you're out. People don't always understand that not tracking while out can really throw you off track ={

I didn't even know this was a thing, what are the incentives/discounts towards?

You look wonderful! <3 huge difference, especially your face.

About 4 of my meals per week contain meat (4 out of 21) because, well, I'm just not too crazy about the taste and I don't want to spend the time trying to make it tastier.. And yes, it's a little strange, but many things have been strange and been proven very useful in making life and living more efficient. What is the…

Thats actually not that bad Nikki! If I'm away from mfp for a week I've already put on a few pounds haha. I do better with a group too :)

Hi guys. I'm alison. I've tried doing 30DS before, but threw in the towel after a week. I'm ready to try to do this again and sm happy to find a group of people doing the same thing!

Bump!

When I quoted, you didnt have the @ lol

Guessing that was directed at the girly just before me lol :)

Just a guess... 22? Seriously though, I would have guessed 21 - 22 :)

Year without coffee 1000%. would you rather go a year without ANY discretionary spending or a month with no electricity and running water?

I cannot thank everyone enough. You've all left such heartfelt replies that made me feel so much less alone. Sometimes depression can feel unreal since I have a life I have to continue despite it, which makes it seen lije it's all in my head and I *should* be able to overcome it all. I also deal with generalized anxiety…

Right now my limit is 1500. Some days I come in at 800, others it's 1500 and theres always the 2500 day (more of those lately sie I'm sick). Anyway, it gets easier with time. For breakfast iwill have oatmeal with milk and a fruit (150 sodium), for lunch a sabdwhich with bread, veggies and mustard (270-350 sodium) and…

I love fat free sour cream; 1/3 cals and 20mg sodium!

I I think it depends. Like, if youve done well for a week and now have a week's calorie deficit of, say, 3000 & tonight at dinner you eat 3000 calories in addition to your maintenance cals, then you would level out, I think. So total your calorie deficit for the week and then choose food that is much less than that. Really…

avoidant personality disorder here; I can't even go answer the door for the pizza man sometimes. It sucks.

I'm 22 and I'm about the same; 62 - 65 resting and 155 - 175 ,jogging. Having such a low HR while walking (same as yours) makes it a pain in the butt to burn cals when all I want to do is walk!!

I would probably feel ill if I ate under 1000 cals/day total or if I was always netting under 1000 BUT I'm full at the end of the day and I've eaten a lot of good things (not 1300 - 1400 of chips and frozen burritos). This past year I've felt healthier than I ever have before! :)

And, since eating 400 at dinner makes me feel ill, is the 1000/200/200 ok if the 1000 is good food (or does quality of food not matter?)? [/quote]

Thats what I was thinking. Looking in my diary, while I'm not prefect, I eat a lot of veggies/fruits/whole grains/water/low fat dairy and come in at about 1300 - 1400 cals a day (1.5 # loss per week). If I eat back my exercise cals (i use a HRM and food scale so I am close to accurate) I don't lose 1.5 a week; I lose .8 to…

I've heard the same thing. However, I've had cheat days and only gained back any weight I've lost during tge week, so it doesn't seem to do any good for me. What is your daily calorie intake/height/weight? I've not really had problems with not losing and I keep my cals at 1300/day whether I exercise or not (if I exercise…

Eh... Im iffy; I don't think peoe should be hitting/slapping one another to begin with BUT if a woman were to slap a man it's EASIEST and SAFEST for everyone if he leaves and never goes back. For those who have said, "if I get slapped it's probably because I said/did something to deserve it" I think youre off a little (but…

I CANNOT buy graham crackers because I will eat them all in a day or two. And, yes,i will slather them in creamy peanut butter and top with honey... Heaven.

It would be something as mild as something related to your cycle. Or, it could be as serious as cancer! Seeing as youre a going woman, though, more likely than not it's going to be something mild (cycle related, infection, irritation, pregnancy) but since more serious things are always possible it's a good idea to see a…
