Every day..? WOW! Well I'm restricting myself to once a week; that way I avoid disappointments and see bigger results. :wink:

I use Crystal Light sugar free packets to add flavors to water... makes it more delicious. Also try to drink a cup of water before and after a meal.

Im on the same boat. I have a few cals left and want to eat a small snack at night but if i do I go over in carbs/fats. I am going over in carbs and fats almost every day!!! :sad:

I wondered that myself... cause I heard some ppl loosing 4-6 lbs... Im like WOW How did they do that?!:noway:

Jen i totally understand... im in the same boat! I'm 5'1", 135lbs and work as a Receptionist sitting almost all day. I exercise 4 times a week but have a HUGE weakness for fries, ice cream, chocolates and other sweets. I'm trying to resist the temptations at work but its HARD.

The more friends the better... it is truly inspirational to look at some of the before and after photos of my friends =)

Ok adding u now =) Dont loose focus.. U CAN DO THIS!!!:happy:

Welcome Inna.. this is an awesome site; you will become addicted! LOL Im a parent too... nothing feels better than to be able to play with/run after your children without getting tired. I'm ready to enjoy my family time & do more outdoor activities. Good luck on your weight loss!

Hi ladies...another shortie here!!! LOL I'm 5'1" and 135lbs... doesn't look horrible but my ideal weight is 117--119. If i can get to 120 I'd be more happy with myself. My problem area is my abs... and also want to tone my arms; cant wait to feel SexY again!

I heard you should still eat even if you're not hungry. At least every 3 hours to keep your metabolism working. Have a little 100-cal snack if you don't have the appetite.

I'm drinking Slim Fast shakes ..1-2 a day and I really love them! Its the best thing to grab when you dont have time for preparing a meal and want to avoid Fast Food restaurants. Good luck on your diet & let me know if you need a friend to encourage u! :wink:

I'm also looking to loose 18lbs... I think u can do it, especially with this website. There's LOTS of friends that can give u the motivation. I think u would look great at 125lbs so keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP new Friend... we are on this journey together! I know you can do it with a little motivation :happy: :flowerforyou:

You came from a Weight Watchers frame of mind... what do you mean? Did the program not work for you? I'm thinking of joining

I'm kind of wondering the same because I'm 5'1" and it suggested eating 1200 cals (I'm burning 300 cals with exercise) but i pushed it up slighthly. Now I'm eating1350 calories and STILL be hungry at night =( I'm exercising 4 days a week for 45 mins. I hope someone can directs us to the right way of setting our calories…

I feel ya on the commercials, they get more and more ridiculous ... they sell microcomputer fat-reducing belt that you put on and they guarrantee all these things: * Remove surplus grease in stomach,waist,thigh * Remove pregnant stripes,variegated stripes,recover fine skin * Remove beer stomach * Stimulate breast nerve…

Congratulations... keep up the good work! :bigsmile:
