Dude---- Why did I NEVER think of that!!

I turn 26 in MAY. Yikes. Relatively new since January. Lost 26 lbs so far. Feel free to add me. Diary is open.

I think everyone is different. I see most people say 15 lbs. I have lost 20 pounds, but I havent lost a size yet. Pants are lose. Shirts are fine. But still not a size smaller.

Thats a great Idea. I was tinkering with my liquid measuring cups and my dry cups. Next time I'll weight it out. My dry 1/3 c was looking at liquid 1/4th a cup. Good To Know.

Really? You cant tell other people what to do. Especially not in the type of job you're in, You're there to offer customer service. I use to work as HEAD CHEF in a restaurant for two years- while I was on the Atkins. I didn't eat there especially since i could look over my counter and see everyone slammin bacon and sausage…

I've learned, Through here and Losing on my own. That it's everything in moderation. At first I was very very strict about everything, no chocolate, no sugar, no carbs, no this, no that. But its so hard to stick to. As long as your eating good quality fresh and non processed foods, they are good foods. Even if you eat the…

I Made Quick Oats last night and ate them today. I added 1/3 cup of old fashioned oats, and a small 7 oz bottle of Low Fat Mixed Berry Smoothie from Aldi's. I added a few frozen berries to it. It was soo good. But i wasn't filled up- I ate a cheese stick.

8oz of Trop 50 and 2 poached eggs.=140 for the eggs and 50 for the Orange Juice. =190

Thanks!

Bumpking!

Mine Stays open- for my accountability. I try to enter in notes as well. Feel free to add me. I like to browse diaries also.

You really should not cut down that fast if your were upwards of 5000. Just not healthy for your body- You will shock it. I try to keep a 24oz insulated cup with a straw on my desk at all times with ICE water in it. The ice helps to replenish what I drink so my cup lasts for ever. Sometimes when i want something sweet and…

I cant see any pictures.

^Thanks a lot guys!

Here are the items I skip: 1. 0 calorie Sweeteners (most times) 2. vitamins (even the gummies) 3. lemon juice/lime juice/vinegar 4. Spices 5. Small Taste Nibbles off my Loves plate during dinner 6. Tasting my food while cooking ( small tastes) 7. All the water I drink- I forget or drink it too fast i dont remember how much…

UH- Carbs! How I miss thee!

I have to mix it up to not get bored. I work long hours usually so I pack a breakfast, a lunch, and 2-3 snack.s I don't normally make it through all those- but I like to be prepared with healthy snacks so I dont see someone with junk and say- we'll i didnt bring anything! Guess i'll grab one too. Breakfast, *I like to…

When did you become overweight? 1. Always (from childhood) 2. Puberty/teens 3 20's 4. 30's 5. 40's or later I have always been big. I remember being the biggest person in kindergarten, I was never small.

How Can I see the pictures? i'm just getting little blocks. :(

I havent set a time goal, but my first goal is to drop under 300. Thats a loss of 25 pounds. I will do this by making smarter choices, keeping under my calorie budget, not eating the calories that I gain back from exercise, upping my water intake, and lowering my sugar intake.

I am currently at 325 ( I think- Havent weighed myself again yet). I am looking to drop to around 180. My first goal is to get under 300. I'm going to set my goals in increments. Let's get back on the wagon, and start a fresh. Add me! I'm new too!

Or In Michigan They are called Elephant Ears- or Funnel Cakes. I love the butterfly chips, and the elephant ears, and I try to always get a caramel apple. but then there are the polish sausages and peppers, and .... well really I could go on.

What does Bump Mean on posts? Im new -sorry.

This is actually another question. I have no problem eating salads and soups and veggies. But I am more a quantity person. I always have been . What can I eat a lot of without feeling guilty? Besides the obvious celery, carrots, and water.

Same boat. Add me as a friend. Let's motivate each other. I LOVE to cook, so send some low calorie recipes my way!

Right here. I looking at loosing 145 or more. I'm currently at 325. I have been calorie counting and starting to exercise for about 3 weeks, the first week and half was rough, but I'm definitely doing better.

I agree- Totally. Can I add you to my friends?
