It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to see real results unless your losing a crazy amount of weight really fast which is unhealthy.

I just re-started this as well. Im down 2 lbs. Nothing big but its def a start. We can do this. We just have to take it day by day, hour by hour, and minute by minute. I wish you the best of luck!!!

I am a coke a holic! I love my soda, especially in the morning, but I know how bad it is for me. So, instead of eliminating it all together, I cut back from 4 to 1 a day. Giving it up all together is only asking for failure. Best of luck!

Welcome!!! I have sent you a friend request!

I do not get why young girls and some women are this way. We should all be supporting eachother and not hating on eachother. This girl should of been proud that this girl had the balls to get up and do something about her weight. I hope she dropped this girl as a friend because she deserves better than that!

Thankyou for the responses!! You have clarified what I thought to be right. Happy Thursday all!

That is an awesome feeling...congrats!

Thankyou for sharing! I love McDonalds breakfast!! And their fries!! Buy anyways, congrats on your success this far!! you can add me if you like!

When I was a child, my mom instilled in me that you have to clear your plate. To this day, I eat when I am full because I cannot leave anything on my plate. I also know that when I am full or not hungry, I have this feeling of being "safe". No matter what happens in my day, as long as I am not hungry, I am "safe". I also…

she didnt say all the weight, she said as much as she can in the next 159 days. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

All I can say is WOW! What an awesome job at your transformation! This def keeps me motivated!!! Thankyou for posting!!!

Good job!! Keep it up!! Like I say, any loss is a great loss!!

I wish you the best of luck on this bumpy road!!! Add me if you like!!

You can add me!! :happy:

I try not to eat after 8 pm. If I do feel hungry, I will grab a snack because if your stomach is growling then blood sugar has already dropped to low.

it is probably water weight. I wouldnt stress over it.

Just start fresh on a day you choose. If you mess up, its ok. You will feel worse giving up then continuing on your plan to health. There will be bumps in the road, but dont let them discourage you. If you look at my diary, what I eat is far from perfect, but it is a lot better than what I was doing. Baby steps for me.…

your metabolism needs food in order for it to be most efficient. I would eat as close to your calories as you can.

I have to have a coke everyday. Drinking a coke is like what drinking coffe is for coffee drinkers.

Yes your thyroid could def be part of the problem. I have a low thyroid and I went on Weight watchers and could not lose the weight and I had sucess with that program before. I would talk to your doctor about it. Good luck and do not give up!

Welcome!!! You can add me, always looking for great MFP friends. :)

I have done MFP and weight watchers. I really like WW for the meetings because the support is great. I also really like MFP as a tool for managing the diet.

vit c, vit d (dr prescribed), omega 3-6-9, super b complex, magnesium, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)

a healthy rate of weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs per week, so your totally fine. Just remember it is gonna take time.

Hi, I have the same problem. My son whom is my second child, destroyed my belly. For me, I think the only thing that will fix it is surgery. Now that I have started this program, I am going to see what diet and exercise will do for it. Hopefully it will help the both of us. Best of luck on your journey!!

you can do it!! you will feel worse if you quit now!!! add me if you like!!! best of luck to you!!

Hi Naomi, I just started yesterday as well. As of today, I want to lose 65 lbs. I have 2 children as well and I want to be healthy and live a very long life for them. Good luck on your journey!!

Please dont throw in the towel!!! Even if you are not seeing the results just yet that you would like, you are a healthier person on the inside for doing this. Maybe you can do a lil extra exercise this week or maybe you have lost inches versus lbs. A lot of the time you can judge the changes in your body by the way your…

Wow that is a big change. You look really good!! Congrats on the weight loss, totally awesome!!

I am 5'2 and currently 216. When I was 140 lbs, I wore a size 7 in jeans and a medium in shirts. Im am def not petite. It will also vary from brand to brand of clothes. So I would say anywhere between a 7 and 10. Good luck on your journey to weight loss. Add me if you like, I need all the motivation in the world to keep me…
