I guess its all relative .. compared to the way I used to eat four months ago .. this is good. I guess if the package says 1 package is this many calories, I put in 1 package .. isn't that how you are supposed to do it? If a full bag of lettuce is 100 calories and I eat half I put half of a bag .. ?? I mean I know I'm not…

I have been up and down the same pound or two since the last week in May. What is a stall? I opened up diary, I log everything I eat from hot sauce to pats of butter. I weigh and measure everything I put in my mouth. I try and vary my calories every day so my body doesn't "get used to it" .. I try and get at least 4,000…

THIS IS AWESOME! You look great! Probably feel even better .. lol

Hi! Starting over .. again. Thought I would try some support. I have been on and off MFP for forever I feel like. My name is Jennifer and I am 45. When I am on my game, I am on my game .. when I hit a bump, I'm done. I would like to try and change that. So .. Just for Today: Water Get at least 6,000 steps Stay on my food…

You look great!!! Wow! I am 45 and was wondering if it was even worth it to try at my age. I feel like all the important things are over now .. lol.

Down 21 .. 80 to go!!

Anxiety and depression here .. I honestly had to go on some medications to be able to get out of my own way. I took an emotional eating course and that helped bring everything that I was doing to the front of my brain, so I could pay attention to what I was doing. One of the things that the course suggested was to make a…

I don't like to cook either. When I do it once, I do enough for the week. I grill as much as possible. Then the sides are steamed vegetables, micro rice etc. I keep it super simple. Funny enough .. I am a picky eater. So simple works for me. Lunch is most of the time what dinner was the night before .. I have yet to find a…

I think it is different for each person on what they weigh and what program they have chosen to do. Mine seem to be on low carb days 80-100 carbs. My high carb days are on my reward days as I have chosen to do the reward meal every other day rather than a full reset day, so i don't know what they are. The meals they have…

I have the app now and am finding it hard to eat that many calories. I struggle between what MFP tells me I should eat and what the app tells me I should eat. I am not losing anything at this point. Not inches either. But I feel like I am waffling between the two and not doing either fully. Like some days I do the calories…

AWESOME TRANSFORMATION! you look great!!!

That is AWESOME!!! Great job!

Broad shoulders

New York here .. upstate near Syracuse

I don't know what that muscle on your shoulders is called .. but yours is awesome! lol Nicely done!

That is great!!! My why .. Is a bunch of different things that added up to me being done hating myself. I read a quote that said "One day you wake up and decide you are done destroying yourself" and boy did that resonate with me for some reason. I write it all over the place now. To ingrain it in my brain. You got this!

Holy shizzle!!! high five!

Awesome transformation!

I wish I could say that I had a turning point. It was more of a rock bottom for my addiction to try and make myself feel better. I eat for any situation. Happy, sad, anxious, depressed, angry. I eat to change my emotion and not feel it. I finally found a combination of medication that lifted my depression enough to see…

There is a subtle difference for sure. I don't think there is much there to shred .. lol.

Looking for some battle buddies!!! lol 43 -5'4 SW: 271 CW: 260.4 GW: 180 (for now)

Single .. still .. :o

I know from my own experience and losing the same 60 pounds over and over again that this is true. I do not know how to stop the cycle .. If I am not actively losing weight, I am gaining it. I have always been a little bit heavier than my friends and family, it is just how my body is. I build muscle fast. I am really…

Thank you! This is me: INFJ You’re single because: You have trust issues. You’ll get into a relationship when: Someone you’ve known for an unimaginable amount of time finally wears you down and convinces you that you can take a chance on them. And oh it couldn't be more true .. lolololol

I really did hide my profile though. I really am just not feeling it I guess. I have had a tough go of things as of late and maybe I just need to focus on me for a while. I was kind of annoyed though, after I texted him that .. he texted me again a few hours later and was like .. I really would like to get to know you ..…

So .. he texted me again tonight and I finally just answered and said that I should never have signed up for POF as I just am really not ready to date. That he didn't do anything that it was completely me. Ugh. I do feel better now that I answered him.

I know! I hate it when men do it to me! I think that is why I feel so bad. Didn't stop me apparently .. but still. lol.

I've decided that my couch and I are going to be in a relationship. We spend every evening together .. he loves to watch what I watch .. sometimes he steals the remote, but I always get it back.

How do you know which one you are?

Oh you definitely aren't alone in that!!!
