Ths is a great post! And I agree with everyone. I was fighting to lose that last five to seven poinds when I found MFP. since then, I have relaly embraced thew lifestyle over the diet. I amy nt lose anymore wight and I am now okay with that. I have been working out regularly, I feel so much better, I have lost inches and…

5'6", 150 pounds. Most of my pants are a size 8, but I have everything from size 6 (that fit comfortably) to a 12 (too small) in my closet. US sizes lack consistency.

Great ideas! I love quinoa and just got hubby to eat it. He loves it too but need more recipes. Thanks everyone

friend request sent. You can do this!

Like many of you, I really think about what it is that I am going to eat - still have treats, but much less. MFP made me much more aware of the types of food I needed (protein) versus where I was getting too much. Protein is my friend - on so many levels.

I am right there with you. I quit in January after 27 years. Lost two punds right away and the last after a long fight. That said, I only have ten to go and put my goal at .5 per week. But is is MUCH slower and a struggle. I feel WAY better wiuth not smoking and eating healthy/exercising! Here is how I am looking at it.…

How about former Michigander? Moved five years ago...do not miss at all what you are going through. I was there last winter and swore I would NEVER go back to the state in the winter again. August was much more pleasant. Hope you are all doing okay and are safe - you have been drilled this winter and deserve a fast and…

Light Laughing Cow - any favor but I LOVE the garlic and herb - on celery; gala or honey crips apples; Nature Valley Protein PB and dark chocolate bars.

Hello. I moved to the desert (outside of Las Vegas) 5 years ago and had the same issue with my hair. My hairdresser told me the same thing - and it WORKS. I notice a huge difference when I do not do this. Good luck!

Please excuse any typos...on my Droid. I started this because I just quit smoking. Was about 60 lbs heavier when I started 27 years ago. How do I stay motivated? By looking at why I started in the first place. For my husband and my nieces. I will have amazing days when I am totally on track and others when I fail. But when…

I'd like to be much more toned and defined; 140 by June; to look good in summer clothes short summery dresses and bathing suits; to still be smoke free. :flowerforyou:

I no longer strugle t get the water, but I definitely did in the past. I bought a HUGE glass - 64 oz. extra insulated - and filled it first thing in the morning. I could have two cups of coffee and NOTHING else (beerages only!) until the water was gone. At the time, I had a raging diet Coke addiction, so it was quite the…
