Wow I just realized I haven't been on here in nearly a year to read this! I only log in my calories and exercise from time to time while on my Iphone. I appreciate all the kind words and advice, I am back on MFP and ready to get serious about this eating healthy and exercise thing! Wish me luck :) -Danielle

Sounds absolutly amazing!! Thanks for sharing :)

6 pounds in 6 weeks is great~!! I would keep up what your doing and you will be 12 lbs down in another 6 weeks! I would stay away from unatural ways of losing weight, it sounds like a scam to me and also unhealthy. I am not a nutrtionist or doctor but I think that taking something like that could cause a dependancy and…

Just realized you are from Michigan too! :smile:

I love summer!! However, I enjoy fall because of the pretty colors of the leaves, apple orchards, pumpkin pie, Thanksgiving and it is still warm out but not cold yet :)

I will add you!! I love making new friends on here and encouraging eachother :) -Danielle

My opinion is to lose no more that 5 more pounds, 5'3 and 100 pounds if very thin, almost too thin and I bet once you lose 5-7 more pounds you will feel like a totally different person. Because your frame is small, you will be able to tell quickly that you have lost 5 lbs. And you MUST eat 1,200, trust me, i know from…

Thank you everyone! all really good ideas, i will definatly try them!

If you desperatly can't stand not having pop I would try something diet once in a while like Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Pepsi, or Coke Zero. I know pop is pop, but still you can treat yourself once in a while if you need to. -Danielle

I think there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with your photo! You look completely conservative and trendy and your not showing any skin or doing anything sexual. I can see if you were wearing something really sexy that your daugher could be offended. But I think you should show off your excellent weight loss! You deserve to…

20 carrots: That is so true what you said! Because I am 5'6 and I would like to weigh about 125-130. -Danielle

You are being too hard on yourself, you can do it! I am the same way at times though, I just think bad food tastes better! But while I am eating a lot of bad food I just think to myself, "Is it worth it?" It makes me feel good but it doesn't make me look good. Also, everything is fine in moderation, instead of eating a…

Walmart has really nice ellipticals for $200, my friend got a good one there for that much which I think is verrry cheap because my boyfriend's brother and his fiance bought one for over $1,000! If that is too much I would recommend putting it on your credit card if you have one and then just paying it at the end of the…

I hate running though! But you are right, I should do it. How far do you run though, and how long?

Awesome job!! That is so great, I completely screwed up today so its good to see that it IS POSSIBLE to eat healthy. Keep it up girl!:drinker: :happy: :heart: Danielle

All the kids that I babysit for I turn on Seasame Street on On Demand, I love it too!! It is the ONLY show that keeps the occupied for a full hour,:laugh: . And I love it too because I actually remember all the episiodes from when I was a kid. -Danielle

ugh, i am no help! i feel the same way i have been eating horrible and not caring and not exercising, i just can't get back in the groove. but try to start fresh, thats what i want to do tomorrow, go out and buy a bunch of healthy foods at the store and start making new recipes! we can do it!:happy: -Danielle

Oh wow, I hate that! What are they serving up, big macs and fries?!?:laugh: ! I wish people would be more understanding too:happy: Expecially those certain people who know you are trying to eat healthier and they shove bad foods in your face. -Danielle

I think I know what I did wrong! I didn't use the skin at all, my mom told me it would look at taste the same, would that be why it didn't turn out moist and dark brown? Also, if you didn't grate the inside of the zucchini, what did you do to it? Thanks! -Danielle

I would maybe consider getting help, if you feel that it is beyond your control. I think that its all about portion. You can eat unhealthy at times and as long as you stay within a reasonable portion you shouldn't gain weight. Maybe try subsituting certain foods for healthy ones. They even have diet pop cake that you can…

Sounds yummy!! Go Tigers!! :tongue: :happy:

A little bit of cardio, (30 minutes a day) maybe 4 times a week if you have belly fat to lose. And if you are already thin and just want toning I would say get a workout ball (20 bucks at walmart) and do crunches on the ball. About 50-100 a day and make sure you keep your abs tight while doing crunches. You will see better…

How tall are you? If you are at a comfortable weight for your body type that may be why you aren't losing the weight. I know for me to get down to 125 (Currently at 135) I have to really kick my own *kitten* to lose the weight. You can't slack off at all or you will notice a difference, at least I do. I would say pick up…

I am in love with the Kashi waffles as well! I probably eat them more than I should. But I used to eat Special K waffles but they stopped selling them at the grocery store I shop at so I bough Kashi one day and fell in love!:love: I think its ok to eat them once in a while, just use a drizzle of syrup and a teaspoon of I…

Thank you both so much! I am going to check out the 30 day shred, and start doing squats. I totally forgot about squats! Those are really good for your butt too because I remember in highschool I used to do them and saw a great improvement! -Danielle

I am stuck at 140 too, sometimes 137 but usually it goes right back up to 140. UGH!!

By the way, DON'T eat the rolls they bring to the table, unless you only have one. They are 220 calories a roll, and 4 grams of fat!

Ooh! I go here all the time and when I'm being bad, I get a 6 ounce sirloin. But when I am eating healthy which is most of the time, I get the salmon with a side of rice and fresh veggies. I don't know if you are a fish eater, but its delcious! Also, try the oven-roasted chicken there too, that is really yummy!! -Danielle

All of these are good posts, I see that most people agree that tanning beds are pretty much suicide beds. lol(at least thats what my friend jerry calls them). I used to go all the time in highschool, but its just not worth it because my skin only hits a certain "color" and thats it, so people wouldn't even notice that I…

Turkey and lowfat cheese sandwiches, Ham and swiss sandwiches, lean cuisines, the new pizza ones are really tasty! Romaine Lettuce with chicken salad inside,(no carb). Those are just a few things that I like :) -Danielle
