I personally like the treadmill better due to my knees. My daughter likes the elliptical . I think the elliptical gives you better calorie burn in my opinion but either one is good if you use them .

garlic !

yes, I have used the restaurants sites when able to , this one is a small town place that we love so and unfotunatley they don't have a nutrition guide. I have asked them if they could maybe work on something like this . Thanks everyone just wanted to know how others are handling this. I guess I am being anal about it, but…

My breaking point was I was tired of being ashamed of myself . I went camping with my husband for the first time in my life this summer, we were set to do all the major weekends over the summer . Memorial weekend was our first, needless to say I loved it, went from a 24ft camper to a 39 foot fifth wheel in two weekends. I…

Three pounds is a very good weight loss for only two weeks especially since you have not as much to lose as like myself (150, well almost 125 short by a pound ) . I am only losing on average now that also, I am sure that mine is going to go to about a pound a week. I am sure this is discouraging, but the slower you lose it…

Yes, and yes again. I have on several different times lost large amounts of weight by fasting etc, hence why I am here this time to do it right. I never ever really could see myself in the mirror differently, I was always still that fat girl. Reality was i had lost 100 pounds in 6 months, but other than clothing size…

I log after I have eaten, sometimes if I am not sure if something is going to fit in the calorie budget I put them in before I eat it so I know. I am really proud when we go out to eat and I log that and still have calories left over, so getting better at this. I think logging right after you eat something keeps me from…

I also have been increasing my water intake, I love berry propel zero. I was a heavy diet soda drinker , like all day from the time i got up till i went to bed and even then it was there for middle of nights drinks. I have cut it down to just one a day, sometimes 2 on the weekends. I wasn't ready to give it completely up,…

Did you set your settings to private ? and do you hit complete diary for day? then go to home page .. I am new too so if that is wrong maybe someone else can help out that knows a little more.. Yes, i like the feeling at the ended of the day knowing i finshed either at calories or better a little under. We all need that…

yes that is what i read too, so changing my habits one small step at a time .. :)

Bumping for later. Can't read them all tonight but read a good 6 pages.. Im hungry now ..going to bed to be safe .

You can also take graham crackers and put fat free cool whip in between them and it is kinda of like a ice cream sandwich. I believe the points are like 2 if you are doing weight watchers. I also keep semi sweet choc chip morsals like someone else posted. I like doing sugar free jello, and mixing fruit in it, with a dab of…

The numbers of pounds lost is impressive but the smile on your face is priceless and more impressive. Way to go ! You go girl !

Feel free to add me as well. I will be 40 very very soon, and have decided that this time this for me and me only. I want the next 40 years of my life to be the greatest yet :) I am on my way there, one day at a time :)

OMG ! You are so inspiring to me that their is hope ! As I was reading a couple of your blogs, I sat here thinking did she read my mind? I have said these same things, and feel not worthy . I would love to be friends on here and could always use and hear your inspirational story. Well Done ! You were worthy from the start…

I also think walking is a great start. you can do intervals where you speed in for like 2 minutes and them slow back down for half hour will get heart racing good, and then just walk 30 minutes at your regular pace if your time allows. Good luck :)

I also just started this month and am looking for support, I am needing to lose 125 more pounds to be at my goal. Everyone feel free to add me as well . We can do this one day at a time with the help of each other .. This is my year to get my life back under control.:happy:

Sugar from fruit is natural sugar and high in fiber too. which are filling and good for you. I have noticed that when I add fresh fruit and veggies, I will fill fuller longer and will lose weight better. I noticed on your food diary that your calories are kinda of all over, one day you have a lot left over, the next day a…

I am a currently a college student, and do very light house keeping. My kids are grown, so I am not running after them. I choose the the very least option of activity because I feel that is where I am at this point . I am working out on occasion, but I am not into a routine yet, the first week I started I worked out twice…

I love Zumba! I have the dvd's but would love if my friends would do it with me, but they never have time :( Thanks for posting I am sure so many people will enjoy it .

You look Amazing ! Great Job ! Smile you have earned it :)

Isn't that a great feeling not being afraid to sit down in a booth? I always feared going out due to this with friends, Good Job !

I think I am completely stupid when it comes to this . okay according to the Scooby's site My BMR is 1942 My tdee to maintain weight is 2330 And according to step 6 (which I choose desk job with little excercise) is 1980.. I have been eating 1490 with the MFP, I just this week increased it to 1590 because I have been…

I have a huge problem resiting ice cream and chocolate. I have found frozen yogurt chocolate fudge brownie. I try to keep it around in case I get weak. I also have chocolate baking chips a small handful helps once a day for 75 calories.

Hi, Congrats on your weight loss. I lost 70 pounds two years ago and was 310 and went to 230 and was in a size 14 (tight ). I lose more weight on the bottom half and not as much on the top half . It is very frustrating.. I have started over as I gained it back due to a stressful job and no healthy food in site in the…

I agree with you falling in love with yourself does better :)

Hello, I am new to this site as well, but not to the weight loss world. I have found this site to be helpful and exciting for me. It makes me accountable and because I am some what a perfectionist, I find that by ending the days under my calories is kinda of like a game for me. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I…
