LOL. I wanted the model for a now and a later to use as inspiration!!

Welcome. I have been on this site for 5 days. So far I have lost 5 pounds and I can tell than more are going to be off very soon. My tight cloths already aren't as tight. =) I feel less bloated. The first 3 days I did the 1200 calorie thing. It did not work out well for me. I was very hungry, shaky, tired, irritable,…

Sometimes when I weigh on the scale and get a positive result, I think that I can eat badly because I already lost weight. That is one reason that I need to put the scale away. Also, could you be eating to fill a void? I understand that yesterday was one year since you lost your granddaughter so I am just wondering if that…

Awesome!! Congrats to you!! :flowerforyou: :smile: :drinker:

Welcome. You are right about cramming stuff into your body and not even realizing. I bought this cereal that is supposed to be healthy and all natual. 1/2 cups is 210 calories plain. If I would not have been paying attention to labels and what not these past few days, I can imagine going up and innocently grabbing handful…

Hey, I have seen that a few people have an animated figure that shows an animated model at their height/weight and goal. I am looking for one of these online and I cannot find it. If anyone could send me a link or site, I would sure appreciate it!! Okay, I found one. myvirtualmodel.com

Thanks so much for this link. I actually made some crab meat salad for lunch and I was trying to figure out how to input the nutritional info!!

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: I know that she is smiling down at you. What a beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Congratulations. You have accomplished something that you should be very proud of. I remember when I first got a 1 in front of my number. It was a very very very happy, motivating, and self confidence boosting day!! You are doing so awesome!!

:flowerforyou: Hello and welcome. I have only been here a few days but I love this site!! It is so easy to record everything that I eat and to keep myself in check. I hope that you enjoy it here!!

lol. I was reading that trying to figure out where my butt fell in (flat, flat, flat) and then it wasn't even about that!! :laugh:

You should not feel horrible. You have lost so much weight to date and you are doing so well. This one day is not going to hurt you or to set you back. Be happy that you had a special night with your hubby and no kids. I am a stay at home mom and that is always a huge special deal for me. I wish that I had more!! Tomorrows…

Thanks Banks. I actually was eating something really awful while I was typing that (pork rinds) and I am feeling better already. I was able to get some protein and calories into me without too much effort. I still don't feel like myself but I do feel a little better. Of course, I havent' stood up yet, so we'll see. If I am…

LMBO!! That is funny!! I'm glad that people share their bowel movements. Otherwise, I would always be self conscious!! :blushing:

Okay, I am really glad that I read this. I have been going back and forth for 24 hours about my calorie consumption. I told that little weight loss calculator that I wanted to lose 2 pounds a week. I think that this is a healthy amount to lose. It said that in order to do that I could eat 1200 calories a day. So, I have…

My favorite salad is a dinner meal for me, I could eat it twice a week: 1/2 cup black beans 2 grilled chicken breast tenders 2 cups baby spinach 2 tbsp sour cream 2 tsp hot sauce You can add some portabello mushrooms that you sautee in water and seasoning cucumber, etc. It is super filling , low in calories,and it gets my…

Sorry you fell!! Ouch!! But great job on walking!! :smile:

Welcome!! :smile:

Thanks to everyone for their understanding and suggestions. I'm still not sure which route I am going to take but at least now I have some options before me other than to quit drinking coffee. I developed the coffee habit about 5 years ago and has just become a part of my life and my daily routine. I used to think that…

Hi. I am currently using the Coffee Mate Fat Free French Vanilla Creamer. There are 25 calories per TBSP. I love my flavored creamer but I am finding that it is taking up way to many calories. I would like at least 2 cups in the morning and one cup in the afternoon. That would be fine is I only used the 1 TBSP serving…

That is such awesome progess ariannedavis!!

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I am very happy to have found this site. I just know that this is what I needed to keep me going in the right direction!! And I am impressed with your 10 pound weight loss cosbykids3!! Great job!!

Thank you Heather. This is a great site. Tons of motivation and support. I think that if we stick around and stick to it that we will reach our goals!! Tanya

Measurement always work very well for me. In fact, I found this site because I measured myself instead of just weighing myself. In just a few months, I gained 4 inches in my hips, 3 in my waist, I think 3 around my body under my armpits, 2 under my bust!!!!!!!! In just a matter of 12 weeks or less. Sigh.... I hid my scale…

Hi Heather. I am also new to this site. I just love it!! Congrats to you on your weightloss up until now. That's awesome!!

I'm sorry that you are having a hard time right now. Just remember that in two months your medicine is going to kick in. In the meantime, because you are working so hard, you will not gain like if you were not working out. I had been diagnosed with graves disease when I was pregnant. It was supposed to reverse after my…

Thank you!!

Hi, I just joined yesterday. I've actually spent most of my day today trying to figure out how to be more healthy. I've been searching online, planning meals, trying to refocus. I've gained 10 pounds since December. I'm very upset about it. I'm even more upset about all of the inches that I have gained since this summer.…

I just had two cups of baby spinach with grilled chicken breast, black beans, sour cream, and hot sauce. It was actually quite good!! =)
