Welcome to MFP! Hope you are having a good day. You won't find this much encouragement anywhere else. It's so cool. If I'm feeling tempted, I either come here or do something to help me get my mind off of food. God bless you are on weight loss journey! :smile:

WELCOME to my MFP!! :smile: Even if you only have a few pounds (lucky you), you still have to count calories for a lifetime. I never thought of it as a lifetime change. Once that realization kicked in, it's nice to know that others need support and encouragement to help them accomplish their goals. It's so cool to see…

HI Angie!! Hope you are ready for a huge change. This is changing my life and it's great. This is one of the things that Jillian Michaels says that you have to do for a lifetime....counting calories. She said if you just pay attention to what you put in your body, you're more aware of it and not gaining the weight back. I…

It might be that you need to eat more to lose. I know that my nutritionist told me to eat 2-3 oz of protien and 1/2 piece of fruit twice a day in addition to your regular meals. It was coming up to 1600-1700 calories a day. With you exercising that much, you truly might need something like that. I would grill a package of…

My son's athletic sports trainer has told the band students who practice 6-7 hours a day during the heat of summer to drink loads of water during their practice and to eat a protien bar or shake before their practice such as a power bar. Here's the catch....after all of that, the trainer says that there has been proven…

You can add me to your friends list. I've been doing this almost a month and have lost 16 lbs as of today. It's been so awesome and I love getting on here every day and finding out how every one is doing. This website has saved my life. The encouraement that I receive on here is fabulous!!!

That's awesome. Keep encouraging your friend. We always need extra help!!

I like to do fast music with a good upbeat as well. This is a good song. I usually listen to hip hop when I work out. Hope you have a good time on your weight loss journey. :smile:

Hi Sarah! I'll be your buddy. I've been big all my life and have lost on other diets and then regained. It stinks but this time is a life change. It's great and it feels good. I love the support I get from friends on this website and the best thing is that it's free. What more could you as for? I've made it my mission to…

Welcome, welcome!! This is the best way I've seen to help you stay on track. The support and encouragement you will receive from here is awesome too. God bless you on your weight loss journey!!

Welcome to the bunch!! It's good support here. I'm feeling much better and I love the encouragement. God bless you on your weight loss journey!!

Good job Zumba for not smoking for so long!!

Way to go!!! You're almost there!!! :happy:

It is very discouraging when you see a gain like that....don't let it get you down. Keep it up. I would workout at least every other day if I were you. It gives you better structure. For myself, I'm trying to make it a habit to do it daily because then it becomes your way of life. Don't stop trying! You can do this!! Get…

I find myself doing that sometimes. Lately, since 've been doing this program, I've been good about walking away from the kitchen, knowing that I have people on here that can look at my food diary and see what I'm posting. You gotta be honest with yourself. It's not going to do any one any good by you not putting in your…

Good luck!! :wink: Between chinese and mexican, I don't do too well on those. Hopefully, you'll be just fine. :smile:

Just add it back by "track exercise" button.

Congrats to you for making a choice to feel better. I made it a habit to be on this website at least 15 minutes a day and see what others are doing to lose weight. I had cancer and now past that but battled cancer with chemo and that caused major weight gain. I'm happy to be finally done with that! In two weeks, I've lost…

You'll find that this is the best thing that could happen to you! Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!!

I know exactly what you are talking about. My understanding is that you have the ability to eat calories that you burn. So if you have a 2000 calorie a day diet and burn 3000, that doesn't mean you can eat 5000 calories that day if you want to lose weight. Now if you are maintaining your weight, that would work but only if…

:happy: Hope this blog finds you well! I'm from the Houston area as well and have on this app now for about 2-3 weeks. I'm so pumped up what it has done for me. I never thought an app would provide me such discipline in my food habits. Since I've been interactive in the website, I've been so excited about my weight loss. I…

Congrats to you for excelling! You will be awesome in July! You can do it!!

You are quite the character!! You are as crazy as me! That's hilarious. I'm with you on this. You guys have got me so pumped up for the first time in my life! It's grand. I'm so enjoying this. I already went for my walk this morning. I felt bad cuz my husband got up and cooked our family french toast and I told him I…

Prayer has helped me a lot! I never realized how much of a sweet tooth I had until I started counting calories and it was really hard. Sodas are another weakness. From a 2 liter a day down to 1-12 oz can a day is pretty good but the ill side effects of withdrawals from caffiene was not easy. I haven't excluded anything…

Parents are funny but look at it like this....you still have them!! My dad passed several years ago and I'd love for him to make a comment like that! LOL Good job and keep it up!!

Me too! I just started a couple of weeks ago and really just started the exercise part in the last week but I'm feeling so good. I have severe back issues and have dealt with breast cancer in the last year, and I haven't felt this good in a long time. Life is grand! Good job and keep it up!!

I'm so in on this Skinny Saturday Challenge! Sounds like good, clean fun!!!
