I've only mentioned it to those people I know are in a perpetual battle with their eating habits (as I was)... and I just said, "Hey I downloaded this really awesome app that keeps up with my calories every day and I had no idea how much food I was eating until I saw it there!" and if they ask more, I tell them. People I…

Haha.... THIS^

All of the advice here is good. I was a Dr. Pepper addict, and I'm talking... 8-10 cans AT LEAST a day... whoa... Then I just stopped buying it for the house. My husband is a Diet Coker, and we always have that, so I decided if I really wanted a soda, I would just drink one of those (and obviously they are disgusting, so…

I don't hope anyone comments... but I do feel proud of myself. I also have that lurking voice (I call her the fat girl)... she whispers to me that everyone else is probably looking at my *kitten* and thinking "why bother?" or thinking I have ho-hos stashed in my car console or something... LOL. BUT... I tell that fat *****…

I have about 80-100 to lose. Just remember this: all that weight didn't attach itself overnight... it isn't going to let go overnight... Like saying negative vs. positive things... The negative always hangs on longer... You can do it!!! I'm adding you now!!!

Anyone can also add me if they want! I'm 3 weeks in, 11 lbs lighter!

My protein was running a little low, and I added a hard boiled egg a day, it bumped it up quite nicely.... if you like those anyway. I also added a raw egg into my green smoothies when I have those for breakfast... I know, I know, that's bad to have raw eggs...but I like it, it makes it frothy.... remember Orange Julius…

^^^this.

Cheesy maybe, but Ricky Martin's "Maria" and "Cup of Life" ROCK... I find it hard to sit still even at work when those rotate through my iPod.

I used to be a double bagger, and I found the Enell brand (enell.com) and LOVED it... I was a 44H. I'm happy to announce I had those big girls taken down to what I call the "Ittie Bitties" and I can now regular sports bras that don't cost a fortune!!!! But, the Enell was amazing!!! I could Zumba without any jiggle...…

O you *kitten*!!! Thats my favorite kind!!!! LOL

I think emotional eating is one of the HARDEST things to overcome!! I don't so much get angry and want to eat... I was never that girl that ate an entire tub of ice cream... but I know if I don't feel good, I want what I want, the end. I know it will make me feel better. (even if it doesn't).... but when my brain tries to…

I've never really liked water so much either, and was at one point drinking 8-10 cans of full power Dr. Pepper a day.... ouch... but once I had accomplished cutting back that, and started forcing myself to drink water, it really became so easy... I wake up in the morning wanting a glass of cold water now!! My skin is…

I'm just starting my weight loss also, so I don't know if I have any "big" tips... but I'm glad you are in a good place now so that you can keep yourself healthy!!! I was in an unhappy marriage and gained most of the weight, but I've put on even more since I met my new husband... because he likes girls with curves!! He…

Welcome back! Good luck and I'm going to add you!!

GREAT JOB!!! How exciting! Can't wait to see the next set of pictures!

Something that has "clicked" for me this time around is the way I'm thinking of the actual food and the calories.... it sounds completely obvious and dumb.... but I refer to the calories as "points." Not like Weight Watchers...but like a video game... and it's a challenge to "win" by getting as close to that goal without…

Agreed

My eyes are usually what everyone mentions first. I also get a lot of compliments on my teeth (I know, sorta strange sounding.... but they are quite white-I guess thats why). However, my husband likes my butt... as large as it is... he's totally in love.

I don't have a load of friends yet, but I have noticed one that has her diary public, and she's only eating (according to the diary) like 600 a day.... I'm trying so hard not to comment about how she's starving herself... so I've stopped looking at hers. LOL

I totally saw something like that recently.... LOL

We have to have scrambled eggs on the days that the Patriots will play. When Tom Brady is on the screen, being interviewed, showcased, or playing we must HUSH.... "Shhhh it's TOM." And of course we must be decked out in Patriots gear.

Today I think I'm in the clear.... but yesterday I made a co-worker cry and totally didn't even mean to! My husband said this morning before we left for work, "Try not to make anyone cry today." In my defense I think she might have been PMSing or something, because I really wasn't mean, I answered her question like I…

I haven't really thought of rewards yet... I'm only at 9 lbs and I guess maybe I'm not "believing" yet... all these ideas are great though! I would LOVE some boudoir shots and so would my husband!

For all the reasons listed... I wanna tie my shoes leaning forward and breathe at the same time. I wanna have pictures of myself that don't make me cringe. .....I want to get back those sexual positions that I've lost because my belly is in the way!!! (that may be TMI, but you asked!!! LOL)

For the guy who says Boobies are good::: (I messed up the "quote" thing and now I can't fix it... sorry) Speaking as one who has recently had the boobs cut WAY back, I can say for US boobs are not always good and not always our friends!!! LOL. My husband would disagree of course... but he wasn't the one hauling around the…

I don't get home from work til about 6, then I cook dinner... about 30 after we eat I have an ice cream treat ONLY if I've been good that day and have the calories left in my limit... I get the "Sweet Freedom" sort and its much less damaging. I only have like 1/2 a cup or so... its a wonderful way to reward myself at the…

Feel free to add me also! The shoe ties thing is actually one of my issues!!! LOL

I can't believe you left beautiful Florida for here... LOL. I'm Fort Smith also, sorry! But welcome and good luck!

I was a big OJ drinker, especially in the winter... but I cut it totally out and just started with a multivitamin. They take most of the really good stuff out of OJ anyway... eating oranges is much better for you. I had no idea that OJ had so many calories, sugars, fat... EVERYTHING... its really quite horrible for you,…
