I'm from Knoxville! GBO!! :) I have about 50 lbs to lose!

<starting weight was around 217, current weight is 179! Edited to add: my ticker is correct, I just lost some weight before I started myfitnesspal! :)

For sure!

Me! I don't think eating clean is bad, it just isn't for me right now in this phase of life. I am TOOO busy ! I eat fast food at least twice per week, most times more....it is what it is. My ticker says that I have lost 28 lbs (I think) but I have actually lost 33, and still losing! :) You have to do what works for YOU.

Yup...my kiddo and husband both laughed at me when he grabbed a handful of food off my plate! lol Get your own, as my calories are limited! lol

I pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast/lunch/snacks. I alway eat something different for dinner. It works for me, because it is one less thing I have to think about.

Yep...I went out of my way to stop at the store today so I could get some chocolate....

Taco Bell fresco tacos are pretty good and I think about 170 cals each.

I am just speaking from my own personal experience. What you are describing is exaclty how I felt when I started to count calories and watch my intake. Those symptoms lasted for about a week then I was fine. Now that I have been doing this life change for going on 65 days I can't even eat as much as I used to, even if I…

Thank you! :)

It is working for me! Remember you do not eat back exercise calories with this method, and you have to remember to recalculate with every 5 lb loss! :)

This!

bump! YUM we love fried pickles at my house and will be making these this weekend!

Channing Tatum AND Adam Levine....my goodness! YUM

I am a working mom of two kiddos as well. One is 7 and the other is almost 2! It is for sure hard to find time to workout, and I am slacking in that area right now. But hopefully with school about to be over I will be able to start making time for that! I sent you a friend request!

I haven't read through every response, so sorry if someone else already said this. But what keeps me motiviated is coming to the message boards everyday. And, also all my "friends" who post encouraging things on a daily basis! I LOVE MFP, and I could not have lost these first few pounds without it! Also, the way I look at…

Maybe 1200 isn't enough for you, and that is why you aren't losing weight?! It is just a thought. Everyone has their own opinion on it. I usually eat an average of 1600 per day, and eat back most of my exercise calories and I lost 14 lbs this past month. Everyone is different and every body is different. But maybe if you…

I have two children, and work outside the home full time. Every morning I eat two strawberry Eggo waffles, and 1 cup of non-fat or 1/% milk. I also have found out this week that if I go ahead and cut up my veggies on Sunday night and go ahead and put each days worth in a baggie then I can just grab it on my way out the…

Hello! Sending the request now! I log in everyday and my food diary is open!

Mine is over almost everyday as well. My thought is that if my sugar is coming from fruit then I am not worried about it. My main concern is my calories. Other people, who are more educated on the topic, may have other thoughts. I have only been doing this for one week!

I can relate. It seems like I can always do well for about a week then something, anything happens and I fall right off! Most of the time my plan ends right then! I just quit! But, what I have thought about and planned for this time is that I am human. Bad days are going to happen, and I WILL fall off the wagon. But it is…
