Gorgeous!! Congrats on the weight loss. Motivational, for sure!!

If you do...I would suggest maybe a biggest loser competition. Start the prize at $10 and do weigh ins once a week. If someone gains weight, they have to add to the pot and whoever wins at the end gets the money. I see it help people a lot because no one wants to pay :smile: good luck! add me if you'd like to!

How much are you trying to lose? I looked through your profile (and pictures) and it seems as though you aren't far from your goal weight. It is going to take a lot longer for you to lose 10 pounds than it will for someone like me (by the way, I am also 4'11! :drinker: ) Measurements and weight will fluctuate daily also so…

i log it too. like another person said...sugar free gum is still about 5 cals a piece and if you only eat 1200 cals a day, it adds up. I have also heard that you burn the cals you ingest, by chewing it...but I personally would rather just log it and if i burn them off then i am under for the day. do i think not logging it…

Add me if you would like to. Good luck on your journey and congrats on your wedding :smile:

love it!!!

Right! I guess they were properly "bred" to handle our "American ways"...

I get the same way...which is why I have been a member of MFP since 2012 and my ticker only shows 18 lbs lost. This time last year, it said 56 lbs lost. It sucks...and I always feel like just giving up because it is too much and I just wish I could eat foods, along side everyone else in my family and not have to say "do…

This is my monster... he is a boxer pit mix named Tao. :heart: :heart: edited to say he is a rescue, about a year old.

this was eye opening to me too. glad i never fed MY babies American food! :huh:

I would count it towards your overall movement for the day for 2 reasons...1) you're moving 2) my friend has a fitbit flex and decided to test it one day. She walked 50 steps, the fitbit read 38...

There is so much you can do with eggs to keep them from becoming boring! But, there is always oatmeal, fruit, smoothie, yogurt, some sort of protein shake...it really depends on your "dietary needs"...

the sarcasm is strong in this one....

PrincessRowwy...I love your hair already but would look really pretty with some red thrown in there!

Week 1 [1/13-1/20] SW:256.6 lbs Week 2 [1/20-1/27] 253.2 Week 3 [1/27-2/3] Week 4 [2/3-2/10] Week 5 [2/10-2/17] Week 6 [2/17-2/24] Week 7 [2/24-3/3] Week 8 [3/3-3/10] Week 9 [3/10-3/17]: GOAL: 236.6 Down 3.4 lbs! Glad to be back at it, excited to see those numbers drop!! :love:

I had a great first week...with a little trouble on Saturday but I did take the kids to the park and ran around with them so I am hoping that I still show a loss this week! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

That is a very good plan! I wish you good luck and hope you have a healthy recovery!

Another user did point that out to me and made me re-think my goals. I am hard on myself and will typically give up which is a big part of why I have lost and gained the same 70 pounds over the past 8 years. I reset my goals and I think this way will produce better results... Weight Loss Goals: SW: 1/14/2014 - 256.6 Goal:…

I never thought of it that way. I guess setting a new goal once you reach your current one, is a really good way to do it. Because if I don't reach my goal for April, I feel like my goal for May is not attainable and I get all thrown off. I think I will try that and see how well it works for me! It isn't that, I just get…

Thank you! I have been searching for some new healthy recipes! Another good one I stumbled upon this week www.skinnytaste.com

Seriously??? Why don't posts like this get as many hits as some of the dumb games. Maybe I should have title it "carbs=death" to draw people in :grumble:
