I have only read the first post but all I can say is it's his life leave him alone.. If you just want a boyfriend to help you with your issues then you are screwed up.. perhaps you are not the right girl for him

I would say it would be what you put in your coffee that would be problematic and not caffiene itself. There is no way in hell I would ever cut out coffee from my diet.. lol

We need an update!! Did you go swimming.. how was it.. ????

Welcome!! I agree this is a great site!! It's so empowering to be able to see just how much we have been putting into our mouths.. I really like how more aware I am of what I am eating.. I am FINALLY in control and damn it feels great!

It might be a bit of a tough adjustment to begin with but after a while you may find you have more energy.. I get up at 3.10am for the gym and granted I am usually asleep by 9pm I find by the end of the week I am not a zombie like I used to be when overwieght and eating crap all the time..

Weekly is more than enough otherwise as you have discovered you will drive yourself crazy doing it more often. Some people even do it monthly as weight can fluctuate by the week.. I guess there is no right answer..

Oh good lord.. at almost twice your age I feel ancient! NOT! hehe

Omigosh swimming will be so good for you!!! especially if you are carrying a bit more weight - no pressure on your joints in the pool!! The other people at the pool will have their own issues they are dealing with so forget about them and do this FOR YOU! Swimming laps is a great all body work out.. even aqua jogging or…

The way I see it is slowly and steadily is a better way of losing and far more sustainable..

Yay for your boyfriend!!! that is so awesome!!! I can see you two doing great things together!

heheh here I am!! :laugh:

hahah I am the crazy cat lady!! I got rid of the husband and now I haev 7!! 5 of them are rescues.. I have grey and white Higgins who is the Alpha Male. Ginger and white Flynn Tabby and White Mia (the only girl) Champagne long haired Pagan Ginger Fergus (he steals sox and things) Clawdius the Ragdoll - so not the ragdoll…

^^^ This.. I'd much rather have sugar from fruits than sugar from other processed foods..

Yep - this is how I count it too..

Wow.. what a bunch of nasty people!

Durign the week it is easy to pre-log as I will pretty much eat the same thing - breakfast is the same, so it lunch etc.. Also I try and make food for most of the week on Sunday (ie a big stire fry and portion it up for 2-3 days) so that makes it easy too. I am not very adventurous when it comes to eating..

hormones, water retention, it's just how it goes.. One week is nothing in the grand scheme of things so I wouldn't stress too much - especially if you know you have been sticking to your plan..

Welcome!! I think you will enjoy MFP and will see results.. I know of a lot of people who have become Disillusioned with WW recently..

can I suggest up the calories for two weeks and see what that gives you.. it's only 2 weeks.. you may find it works..

why don't you check out this - http://www.c25k.com/ I know a lot of people on here do it.. Good luck!! I think I will give it a go once I have got my 30 day squat challenge out of the way

personally I don't care what people think abotu what I am eating etc.. mind you I DO have supportive friends and family.. but I do this for ME.. not for anyone else..

Unfortunately there isn't anyway of getting people to change their minds about diets like this.. she just has to learn the hard way..

Holy crap look at you now!!! Wow.. you are an inspiration!! well done!

I don't think one or two days in a row under 1200 will do too much damage.. what I *am* concerned about is your family.. do they know you are trying to lose weight and be healthier? cause giving you chocolates etc is down right rude!

^^^ Agree with this.. I exercise everyday and I find it also helps my entire being.. the endorphins that get released just make me feel better all over

There is no scientific studies on this so I would take it with a grain of salt in regards to it being a weight loss remedy. If you were to do it I would use good high quality honey - not your usual supermarket stuff but raw organic honey and the best cinnamon you can buy. I think if you are going to do this you do need to…

5.30am? try 4.15am.. :-)

My furbabies did NOT bring me any dead critters.. best mother's day pressie ever! lol..

wow.. after reading all these posts I am kinda a little sad I don't get snarky comments.. lol.. I feel left out!! :bigsmile: Lucky for me I have supportive family and friends..
