I find this works for me too. Some days I eat less when I wait until I get to work to eat something. I am a teacher so I am also limited to what I can eat. I usually bring some type of bar (nutrigrain, Fiber 1, etc) and then fruit and yogurt. I just kind of snack throughout the morning. I tend to use less calories when I…

Add me as a friend if you would like. I have been where you are and if I can do it, you can too. :-)

I am also giong to start this tomorrow. I hope for good results!!! :-)

Bump

Thanks!!! Yes, good workout for cardio!!!!

My husband and I...still a work in progress, but almost there!!!

Couldn't agree more!!! I am 5'5 1/2 and 164. I can wear a 10 comfortably (New York & Co. dress pants), but the legs are getting baggy. I have a size 10 jean from there too that fit good, but I also have a pair of 10 skinny ones and they always fall off my butt.

Thanks!! :-)

Thanks! I can't figure out how to post the picture on the thread and get it to show up. :-(

Hello! My name is Amber. I'm currently 164 lbs, aiming for 145 and then maybe 140. My high weight was almost 230 (I gave up with the scale at that point). I have a 1 year old and am a teacher. It was so easy to lose the 50 lbs. when summer was here and we could get out and run/walk, but now I am having trouble. My husband…

Mine is friends only so feel free to add me as well. I think it's so good to check out diaries. I get lots of ideas from them! :-)

I will continue to track and exercise as much as I can (it isn't much though since the winter has hit and a 1 year old is always at my feet). I was doing 1200 a day, but just bumped it up to 1490 (MFP's suggestion to lose 1 lb. a week) because I felt like I was stuck. We will see if it does any good. I was feeling SOOOO…

Did we get a group started? Would love to join!!!

We are almost the same. I am at 165 right now and looking to lose 20 or so more pounds! :-)

I am 5'6 and have lost 50...want to lose 20 or so more. Here is a question for you gals, based on our height, what is your ideal goal weight?

I plateaued for a bit and found that I had to actually eat more calories. I did the whole zigzag method (google it) and I think it helped. I am by no means an expert though. Good luck! It definitely is frustrating!

Hello! I am in the same boat. I have about 20 more to go and this is not a good time of year. It's becoming a battle for me. UGH!

I drink the fat free cocoa mix. It's not something to eat, but it curbs me from eating a lot of calories in sweets. I drink a cup at night and throw on some fat free whipped topping. It's less than 50 calories and definitely cures my sweet cravings in the evenings. Yes, it still has some sugar, but it's better than chowing…

Hello! Welcome! I am from the Toledo area!

Sounds awesome!!! Thanks!

Thanks!!!!!

Thanks! All good ideas! :-)

I am in if it's not too late! LOVE EDWARD! Current Weight 202 lbs. Goal by Nov. 22 177 lbs.

You don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. Sometimes if I am not "feeling" the typical breakfast foods, I will make a sandwich with lunchmeat or PB&J. You could really eat anything for breakfast. It's just making sure you eat something in the morning and not waiting until lunch. :-) Good luck!

I am definitely here as support as I needed it just as much as anyone! :) Good luck!

I am a middle school special ed teacher and hate the days when there are "goodies" in the lounge. I am not going to be a victim to them anymore! LOL I am hoping to lose the weight I have put on over the last 9 years! I am ready to be healthy and keep this going. I love tracking my calories so much better than I ever…
