I am using a support group that is a weekly phone call for $10 a week. The new session starts next Tuesday and we need more people. Our group has dwindled since it began a few months ago. I think when you are overweight all your life, the struggle is harder and more support is necessary. Give it some thought. I am really…

great point!! Thanks :)

Thank you to everyone for the encouraging words- I need them! My head says I am on the right track but my ego is rebelling a little :embarassed:

My first thought on your menu is that you seem to have no fats in there. You could add in some calories from fat and cut back to a half cup of quinoa. Some people have been reported to stop losing weight due to the sucrose in fruit. I know it sounds harsh but you could try to replace the fruit snack with vegetable snacks.…

Drinking absolutely throws off my diet and exercise for 1-5 days, depending on whether I was binge drinking and got smashed. I also have months of fitness photos to look back through and I can clearly see in which photos I was hung over. My face is so bloated! For me, actually seeing the bloated face against a regular…

I forgot that Guacamole is another one that used to be off limits and now I enjoy immensely!

Thanks for your replies--- it is very nice to hear what you are eating and how you view "off limit" foods. I like what I hear!

I once saw a short expose and interview with Alessandra Ambrosio. She talked about what she eats and how she works out. Basically she eats and works out. She eats healthy and with small portions. Also she is 32! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandra_Ambrosio

I have logged cleaning but since I don't know how the burn was figured, I log less than I cleaned so as to not overestimate. Only people who don't scrub and clean hard would frown upon logging it. I work my *kitten* off and can clean for 3 hours straight. In that case I think I logged two hours just to be sure.

20 minutes of snatches must be in 2-3 min intervals. Not sure anyone could do snatches for 20 min straight!

You look so great. Congratulations!!

I go to bootcamp and play softball. Having an awesome instructor and fun team members is what brings me back. I am RARELY self motivated enough to do a meaningful work out on my own. Is that you? Get buddies or find a team! I can do amazing things in the right setting but I would never do them alone.

I want to lose because who wants to be fat, but that said, this is not enough motivation to keep me going. I joined a weekly weight-loss support group which has helped immensely! I have very low self esteem which means I need a little something more than just myself. If my brain tells me that I am not good enough than I…

Who still calls you fat? Ditch them- you don't need that negativity in your life! Congratulations on your weight loss. You are amazing!

no GMOs!

I need a challenge! Feeling stagnant. Great idea.

Me! I am 5' 8" current weight is 180. I think my goal is 160 but I guess I will decide as I move down the scale. I think I would be too thin lower than 160 but a body builder once told me I would be fine at 145. We will see!

Most people only think about themselves, which is actually what you are doing. Those words are yours and they are not very nice. Try being more compassionate to yourself!! Guaranteed that it is very unlikely that people are thinking of you like that! I have lots of skinny friends and they don't think that way.

I can't believe someone told you that you are looking old! Geez!

This might be a stupid question but- are you tracking your calories exactly on MFP? People eating "healthy" can sometimes eat too much. Do you have a daily calorie goal that will cause weight loss?

I have worked with an amazing body builder nutritionist in the past and ended up feeling sadly betrayed. Beware that a body builder might not know what someone with a weight problem goes through. People who have never had a weight problem have different body responses to food. Your calories seem way to low to me. Unless…
