Hahaha, I have been a liar too for the past five years. I met my DL's weight over a month ago. Feels good doesn't it?

I live in the south and I dispise running outside in the summer. I feel like I am dragging my body. I won't even do any 5ks until the weather gets cooler. But I may be a wimp too.

You look fantastic! Great work!

I am slow but I am really slow outside in the heat. :ohwell: Thanks for the info! Jen

That is fantastic! I know it made your day! :smile:

People who have to check in constantly on FB. Like I really care where you are? I also hate it when people list everything that they did for the day on FB. I don't care that your kids went to the dentist and don't have any cavities. Get a life! Sorry, I've had a bad day. lol

I'll post to your new thread if it's not too late. :)

I try to prelog my food so that I can see the calorie amount and decide if I still want to eat it. There are also apps that you can use for eating out.

I am so going to try this. Thanks!

My 12 year old daughter is 5'6 and 122 pounds. She is in a normal weight range but she constantly calls herself fat because she is taller and curvier than her friends. She is beautiful and 1,000 people could tell her that and she still will still say she's fat. It's a constant battle with her and it doesn't matter what I…

You are not stupid and fat! Your body is just craving sweets. Have you tried sugar free jello with sugar free or fat free cool whip? I have made a low calorie strawberry shortcake. I slice up strawberries in a bowl and add a little water and splenda. I stir it and pour it over one strawberry shortcake dessert shell. They…

You have found a great site! You're off to a great start by giving up the cigs. I have had too many people in my life that have died from lung cancer and have mouth cancer from cigs. :angry: It sounds like you are already beginning your weight loss journey. Take it a day at a time and you will do well. Feel free to add me…

Sounds like you're off to a great start! Good luck on your weight loss journey. :smile:

I use coupons too! In fact, my 16 year old asked me the other day if I had to use a coupon for everything. lol I buy as much as I can from a local vegetable stand. The fresh veggies and fruit are a lot heathier than the processed stuff. For example, I can buy a pound of squash for 99 cents there but if I purchase it at Wal…

Welcome! You are off to a great start by finding this site. Being a new mom is overwhelming but as long as you stay under your calorie goal and try to get some kind of exercise in a few times a week, the pounds should start coming off. I would take your little one out in the stroller. Walking would be a great start! Also,…

Do it the same day, once a week. If not, it will drive you crazy! lol

Welcome! I'm trying to lose my last ten pounds too. Looks like you're getting off to a great start! :smile:

I boil it or steam it with squash. Just slice it up,add chopped onions,and salt and pepper for taste. Just add a little bit of water if you boil it because zuc/squash have a lot of water in them. I usually cook it until it's soft. Yummy! You can also grill them together. Very low in calories!

I have kids too and it's hard to find healthy options, especially when you are running around and doing errands and stuff. Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a new day! :smile:

Welcome to MFP! It is an awesome way to track your food and exercise. Feel free to add me as a friend. I already have one NZ buddy. Good luck on your journey. :smile: Jen

I feel ya! I have put on 7 pounds in a couple of days and I know that I didn't eat that many calories. I may not work out daily but I was under my goal every day last week. I also don't have a vacation to blame. :huh: I haven't been taking my measurements so I have nothing to go on but my weight. :ohwell: I am hoping that…

Wow! I can see the difference. Good job! I have been thinking of starting it but I do a community bootcamp three times a week that has been toning me all over. I may try it in addtion to the bootcamp.

Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm hoping that things get better for you. I have plateaued for weeks now and did up my calories to 1400 with eating my exercise calories back. I gained two pounds so now I'm back down to my 1200 with eating my exercise calories back. I'm so confused that I don't know what to do.

7 pounds is awesome! This is a great site and it works. I have always put myself on the backburner too, until now. I am struggling with my last 10 pounds that don't want to come off. lol Feel free to add me as a friend. I will cheer you on in your weight loss journey. :)

You can add me! :smile:

Join the club. I am confused too but anything that we are doing that is healthier for us is better. :) I've lost 18 pounds and then got off track during Spring Break and can't get my body to lose anymore. I'm on my last ten and it's taking forever. Feel free to add me as a friend. I can be a great cheerleader. :) Good luck…
