Add me too, I'm also returning after a 70lb loss using MFP, and a 35lb gain back :(! So we can motivate each other!

Losing weight is such a mental game. If your head isn't in it it's really hard to be successful. I lost 70lbs in 2013 using MFP and have gained back 35 over the last year. I didn't care, I was eating what I wanted and it showed, literally! So about a month ago I decided that when the kids went back to school after…

I've heard it takes your body 21 days to adjust to a change so maybe if you wait it out you will feel better. I too am starving but since I've done this before I know it will get better as my stomach shrinks. Good luck!

This doesn't really solve your problem but I brush my teeth after dinner so I don't snack. That's my 'hungry' time too but I think that's a mental thing, not necessarily a physical one. I think I'm so used to eating at night that it's a habit more than anything. If I have calories left I will snack on some Skinny Pop if I…

If it's not too late I want in! I'm going to California in April to see my skinny sister and need to lose those last 30lbs!

You can add me too. I've had a lot of success with MFP and I'm sure you will too. It's all a mind game anyway! :) Good luck!

I'll do it! Are you going to start a Lose 15lbs by Christmas Group with the people who are in? That way we can keep track of each other better and support each other by posting on those threads.I need some extra motivation so this is perfect!

I lost .4.

Sautee some fresh green beans in a little bit of olive oil and garlic. Add salt and pepper. Delish!

I lost 1 lb this week.

No problem! I am not an expert by any means but like you, I have struggled with my weight forever. I've been up and down but usually more up than down! Something about this time just clicked for me and I feel like I am doing it the right way for me. This site makes it easy to log and using the scan feature on your phone is…

You have the right attitude to succeed! Don't measure your success by the scale, measure it by how you feel, how much more you can do, how much easier it is playing with your son, how your clothes fit and how you aren't out of breath doing the simplest tasks. Don't let the judgment of others be your guide. Begin this…

I lost 1.4 this week.

I stayed the same this week.

The Fiesta Bowls at Taco Bell are good, around 500 cals (check their website for exact cal count) and very filling. Wendy's jr cheeseburger and a half salad. Or baked potato and top it with a small cup of chili. Delish!

Congrats on graduating law school, that is awesome! What a huge accomplishment. And good luck on the CA bar exam. I'm sure it's not easy balancing studying, family, weight loss, keeping the charts, etc. so thank you for your commitment to doing it. I didn't report b/c I was in the hospital but I'm better now! Week 23 I had…

I lost 3 lbs this week. Working my way off exile island!

I have my regular small purse and my 'movie theater purse' where I could easily fit that rotisserie chicken and large pizza in! I've yet to find a theater that sells any healthy snacks so until they do, we are on our own! Go for it!

I guess you'll know when you weigh in if those caloric numbers are working for you! :smile: I have a fitbit too and I try not to eat back all of my exercise calories. Most days I eat around 1500-1800 calories and I exercise 6 days a week and have been consistently losing without being hungry. After the initial 2-3 weeks on…

I have a hard time with that kind of stuff too. I usually tend to log it on the higher side with the calories b/c I'd rather eat too little than too much! Or I'll take something in between the highest and lowest that I find and do that. Or I do Quick Add Calories and then under the food notes I put what I ate and how much.…

Boo hoo, I gained .2. Memorial Day picnic did me in!

Somehow I lost 3.4 this week!

I'd like to participate again, thanks for organizing it!

I'm down 2 pounds this week.

You can always put your serving size into the data base at .20, which is 1/5 of the bag if it's 100 grams. I'm constantly eating more or less of a foods serving size and putting in decimal amounts to calculate the fraction of the food I'm eating. The worst thing you can do is not add them in some form, even if you have to…

I'm a stay at home Mom so my weekends and my weekdays tend to blend! :happy: I do have to schedule my exercise on the weekends but I usually manage to fit it in. My weigh day is on Tuesday's so I can't slack over the weekend b/c I don't have enough time to compensate before I weigh!

Lost .2 this week. Not my best showing but better than nothing!

I lost 2.6 this week for a grand total of 40.4 since January.

I lost 1.6 this week. Still not ready for a bathing suit though!

We both did an amazing job and as far as I am concerned, we are both winners! Keep up the great work!
