we all have those omg days, weeks, etc. the most inspirational thing i ever heard to keep me going is my son saying simply "you got this mom, there's no way you don't got this" so I'll pass on the love "you got this Rachel, there is no way you don't got this" :) (((hugs)))

your calorie intake looks fine and you are exercising. I'd switch your diary to track fat thou i watch carbs, fat, and sodium those are the big no no's you want to keep track of and i agree with the other poster get a food scale if you done have one you would be surprised at the difference but you might just be at a…

i had the same problem but my fix ended up being, well, ... kind of silly so not sure if it will help but have you actually seen her pee out side the box? i ask this because i had not. i just saw the pee after well like you i did a million things and nothing helped till one day i saw her peeing in the box i stayed quiet…

having support makes all the difference. i am almost at the half way mark of my journey to lose 100 and i am on here everyday ( i think i'm on my 240th day? lol ) I'd love to be your pal feel free to request me and anyone else

maybe you need a new goal? you said you reached your last (btw that's awesome!! ) so maybe what you need is a new one. i have several :) i wanted to be able to buy clothes in the regular sizes not the "women's" that one one i reached (just barely but i reached lol ) i want to be under 200 pounds have my weight start with a…

thanks i requested you i am definitely looking for new friends to support and to help support me for anyone else who might be looking for some new buddy's lol add me! feeling like it was so easy to slip back there i think that's what got me down a bit thou i mean one day i ate some crap things and suddenly i am sneaking…

amazing!!!!! so inspirational thanks so much!!!

thanks everyone, it threw me since i had not had the issue before but then i have never bothered to try to get healthy and exercise before either so i'm sure there will be more weird things to come lol

do you have cable? my cable company, comcast has on demand and has a whole slew of fitness videos to watch for free , also you might try your local library. If you have kids and a wii the wii fit plus game is awesome also for a beginner.

ok so first was " eat to live not to live to eat" and second is " no excuses" i say those two things to my self all the time , the first when i fine myself thinking about food , "is it time to eat?" ...ok so 2 hours and i can have a snack" what should i eat when it's time?" .... lol ya i used to obsess on food just a tad…

You're loss is amazing btw truly awesome! i wish they had a like button on here or a hug, all the replies i have gotten have my head back where it should i love this site. i think the biggest hurtle for me and many others is the emotional baggage we get alone with the weight gain, we feel defeated, and the journey back is…

omg i would never want to discourage anyone else! You're right, i need to just stay focused and only look at my own road no one else's

i don't take it confrontational at all. i am the most impatient person on the planet and you get sucked into the hype of weight loss how many commercials do you see "i lost 50 pounds in just..." insert time there etc etc then you start doubting your self then comes the comparing of you to others. i started a word doc for…

i think planning ahead is always a good thing , i have the same issue when i go to my brothers. i do one of two things, i bring food with me ( and yes i do that walk in the door with grocery bags in hand lmao i even bring a thermos of crystal light ) or if we are going out shopping or such, i account for the bad meal if…

thanks guys, you may be right about messing with my meals instead of the snacks i was/am so focused on low cal that i think i am in a rut maybe if i add some cottage cheese to a meal or yogurt to breakfast. i'll feel full longer etc . I also think i need to get creative I've never tried Ricotta with cinnamon, or Freeze…

awesome!!!! very inspirational you should be so proud of your self!!!

i didn't think of mixing with reg pasta hmmm ok so how do you save it? after cooking it can you?

i literally almost chocked read it lol

i'd try different bra, spanx, etc , but other than that all you can do it try its hard to guess how much you'd have to lose to fit the dress to many factors involved for us to guess or estimate if you could lose it by prom.

i, some months have the same issue, its a pain. what i do is drink more, i eat in moderation but i exercise a bit more so i have more calories during that time , i do always eat my exercise calories during this time though lol

i would start by only weighting your self once a week or every 2 weeks like you said and one thing i have heard said to me many many times because i have no patience at all lol is , it took time to put on the weight so it will take time to get it off. you may be gaining muscle loosing fat at the same time. just keep going…

omg i was a basket case during my plateau, mine lasted i think 2 weeks i increased my water intake i had read that helps and i did up my exercise slightly, but i think mostly its time and patience which i should add i have non of , keep going hun this to shale pass.

mine is "i eat to live not live to eat"

for me its anything mint , mint is known to settle the system

i like Marie's yogurt dressing Parmesan Caesar it's in the produce section tastes good and is low cal and low fat

thanks guys patience is soooo not my strong point lol

thanks everyone, my biggest hurtle was the mental, you know switching the, i live to eat, to, the eat to live thing. i will admit the mental side messed me up for years and years. i am proud i have gotten control of that. i find it's not hard to maintain the 1250 calories i have gone over about 25 , 30 here and there but…

looks like we are in the same boat i have 100 pounds to loose also , its a daunting number for me anyway but i am taking it small steps my first goal is to get under 200 pounds i want to step on the scale at the doctors and not have to watch them push that thing to the 200 spot lol i look at myself and wonder how i got…

i loved everyone's posts and thanks to all that have friend-ed me you all are great and so so right the "live to eat" eat to live" thing was a big big step forward for me , and i will be posting often i need the support to keep me going my birthday is march 14th i turn 39 this year so i have a year and two months to loose…
