Wow, great work!

Pre-log. It is easier to avoid making rash food decisions if you already have a plan in place. And once in a while, however often you decide is best, pre-log some mcdonalds. Stay at your calorie goal and it's all good :)

Awesome!!

You can only move forward. Next time you want oreos, try pre-logging them to see how they fit in your day, and then portion out the amount you decide on. Even if you want more, just take a deep breath and remind yourself that you can have more...tomorrow. If you are over-restricting, leading to a binge, that is a separate…

HI! I started at 320, and I'm working my way down to 160 slowly but steadily. Please feel free to send me a friend request :)

ETA: Nevermind.

Nope. Moderation is what let me lose 85 pounds without obsessing over food or labeling it "good" or "bad." I also hit my micronutrients for the week, get plenty of protein to preserve muscle, and feel and look great, btw. ETA: I'm not addicted to food, it does not control me. Sorry if you feel like it controls you, that…

Option #1. It's cheaper than individual bags, I can weigh the portions myself and put them in baggies, so I know for sure how much I'm eating. And it's a deliberate choice to go get a second bag, rather than "just grabbing a few more." Plus, this way I'll be sick of Doritos in a week or two and they won't be such a big…

She's a "coach" for Take Shape for Life- which is a product. She sells it. She is offering to tell others about it if they message her. That is advertising by MFP's rules. But yes, I am happy to cheer for her success. Just not attempts to use the boards to earn money in a MLM.

I definitely need to cleanse my house this weekend. Wait, that's not what we're talking about? Then no, just eat the food you like, add some fruits and veggies, reach your calorie goal, and you'll feel great all weekend and ready to go on Monday. ETA: If you really want to "kick off" your weight loss- do this: read some…

Congrats on your loss, and best wishes for continued success, but advertising is not allowed on the boards.

My advice is never say never. At one point in my life I drank a 2 liter of soda a day. I haven't had a regular soda in over a year, BUT, if I wanted one, I would work it into my calories and feel no guilt. I think it's the fact that the option is open to me that has made it easy- I know that anytime I decide a cold soda is…

No, thank you. I'm going to keep eating food and losing weight and feeling good and having a nice complexion. With food. That I eat.

I have burned fat while eating: Chicken, chocolate veggies, apples, bananas, ice cream, beef jerky, cake, oatmeal, blueberries So, I highly recommend all of that and more. Log your calories, stay at a moderate deficit, and you're going to do great!! ETA: pizza! I forgot about pizza, it has been a very important part of my…

Read it out loud like poetry- it's amazing!

If you need coaching- we are RIGHT HERE! A whole community of people who can help you. Don't flounce- admit you made a mistake, commiserate with us, and get real advice, real support, and a real plan for your weight loss.

I don't understand why you would sign up for this, OP. I'm not trying to be mean, god knows I've fallen for dumb stuff in my life, but I am honestly curious- what part of this seemed legitimate to you? I'm glad you posted, though, hopefully this will save someone else from making the same mistake.

Your inbox is about to be flooded with sellers and "coaches" but let me say that whatver you want from these products you can buy at the grocery store or on amazon for far, far, cheaper. Are you looking for protein? Meal replacement shakes? Vitamins? There are better cheaper options.

I disagree with the part about being hungry- the only time I'm hungry is when I'm about to eat. Sometimes I *want* more food, because I have a decades-long habit of reaching for food in almost every situation, but that's not the same thing. You don't have to go hungry to lose weight.

People were not mean to you, and I didn't see anyone call you lazy on that thread (apologies if I missed it). People pointed out that phen is another way to achieve a calorie deficit, that's all. People on this board have a lot of experience and success working a calorie deficit (or surplus, if they're trying to gain). It…

Here I am! We're friends, and I don't make excuses, I'm just on here tracking every day and talking about fitness and health goals. I've surrounded myself with similar people, no matter what size they are or where they are in relation to their goals, and my list is a great place. No whining, no bull****, just honest…

You're going to get a lot of positive responses by people who sell these products. Take their opinions with a grain of salt. There is nothing herbalife or any other overpriced MLM product can give you that you can't get far cheaper at a grocery store and make yourself. If you want protein, try Optimum Nutrition (cheap per…

You don't know what you're talking about, haven't lost any weight, and advocated dangerously low calories elsewhere in this thread. Time to talk less and listen more before you hurt yourself and others.

Run. Away. Seriously- this is toxic bull****, get out now.

Eggs and whatever greek yogurt is on sale that week.

It is amazing, isn't it?! I felt the same way my first month, keep up the good work and don't get bummed when the loss slows down, it all adds up.

Slow it down, aim for .5 lb/week and you will have a lot more success. Good luck!

Everything sold via MLM is overpriced.

37 pounds down, it looks like you already know how to successfully lose weight. Save your money and just keep counting calories. And look carefully at the profiles of people who tout beachbody, most of them are selling it :/

This whole post is worthy of being printed out and read every day, for real- but for some reason this part really struck me. This really puts into words how I feel about my own life on the best days, and how I need to remember to think about it on the worst. Truly excellent insight, congratulations and thank you!!
