my husband is supportive, but still wants to eat his junk food, which means it's still in the house :( but on the other hand some of my healthier habits have rubbed off on him- we no longer have soda in the house, he's actually started to eat salads and other veggi's. He's really good at letting me know if he notices that…

once when I was on vacation about 5 years ago, a waiter asked me when I was due, and wouldn't drop it when I told him that I wasn't... He actually asked if I was sure!! I was mortified... And had actually lost about 10 pounds for that trip, so wasn't even at my heaviest!

I don't know about you but late night bnging has always been my proble. If I go to bed at a decent hour that always helps. Also find if I let myself get too hungry, or wait too long between eating (for me I have to eat every 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours) I end up binging.

love this post! I used to do the 'secret fast food run' too, but I would suck on a cough drop before I got home so no one would smell it on my breath. I also made sure not to go through the same drive through each time so it wouldn't look like I ate fast food a few times a week! So sad- and glad that's not me anymore! I…

I have done that a couple of times since january. One time I put 2 pounds back on, and the other time no pounds... It was worth it to me because I can get burned out with nonstop calorie counting. The first time I reverted back to my old eating habits and felt awful (physicaly and emotionaly), the second time I did much…

if you are breastfeeding that can affect your weightloss, too. Not everyone loses weight while breastfeeding- my body holds on to everything till I quit. Good luck, hope you can figure it out!

when I was 17 I.... graduated high school, drove a 1981 rusty, leaky honda that never once broke down! worked at a pretzel store in the mall, was dating a sweet 20 year old guy (now my husband), was a 'good girl', was a size 5 but thought I was fat!

i've done a little of both... I eat some 'junk' food still, but also a lot more fruits and vegi's than I used to. Before I started here on mfp there were days when I had NO vegi's at all! I also drink a LOT more water in a day. I do get more excersise than I used to, but I don't usually log it since it's mostly just…

I usually eat whatever i'm in the mood for at breakfast, and then plan out what i'll have for lunch and dinner after that. It helps me to stiick to it, especially later in the day when I get snacky!

when I start feelinng that way I take a day off from logging my calories. I stilll make smart choices, but don't obsess about every single bite. Some people may not be able to do that, but it seems to work for me. I did that yesterday, and no harm done :)

I took in my two favorite pairs of jeans, but the oher ones I just gave to Goodwill or just threw away. Most of my shirts still fit, and the ones that don't I got rid of. I buy my smaller sized clothes at consignment stores or Goodwill. I don't want to spend a lot on clothes that won't be fitting me for more than a month…

most people don't even know i'm tracking my calories... They probly just think i'm texting. My sister is also on a diet, so we'll compare numbers when we eat together. My husband knows, but doesn't get bugged because I don't obsess about it to him. He does get bugged about my being on mfp all the time, though! I just don't…

I have treats every day! I have to have my flavored creamer in my coffee every morning! And I also have a skinny cow ice cream bar every night (as long as I've been good during the day and have enough calories left). If I didn't I'd just binge after a week or so of no sweets.

I'm 5'1" and hoping to get to about 130, and after that I'll see if I want to lose another 5-10 pounds. I don't really want to get below 120- I like my curves :)

I'll probably get lots of comments about how healthy and clean is the way to eat if you want to lose weight the "right way"... but I still eat processed food. I still eat ice cream (every day!! Skinny Cow ice cream bars have been my life savers), I still eat fast food (not as much as I used to- maybe once a week now…

My favorite desserts are the skinny cow ice cream products! The white mint truffle bar is my favorite, and only 100 calories :)

Ugh, I've had so many of those comments! By my grandma when I was about 13 or 14- "It looks like you've inherited our family's thunder thighs" By my husbands grandpa about 6 months after the birth of our first daughter- "You sure haven't lost the baby weight have you?" (I had actually lost all but 5 pounds of my pregnancy…

oatmeal is one of my favorite meals... Keeps me full for so long that I like to eat it for dinner sometimes to keep fom snacking at night. I make mine with 1 egg white and skim milk. I use cinnamon for flavor instead of sugar. When I add bananas to it, it tastes like banana bread.. Yum!

oatmeal made with an egg white and 1/2 a banana- tastes like banana bread :) and coffee with creamer.

I'm 5'1", 151 pounds and I wear a size 10-12 pants (12's are loose and 10's are snug) and medium top (large jrs). at my heaviest of 172-175 my 12's were getting too tight and I refused to buy a 14 so it motivated me to start losing weight!

I was having a bad week last week... feeling deprived and sorry for myself, and as a result…

I weigh in about twice a week, sometimes 3 times if I need the motivation. Sometimes seeing no change on the scale makes me work harder. I weigh in before the weekend (to see if I can have a cheat meal, ha ha) and on Mondays- or Tuesday if I forget to weigh myself before I eat breakfast :)

I'm 5'1" and my goal is 130. When I get there I may want to loose another 5-10 pounds, but we'll see how I feel.
