Great post! Either a closet eater, or maybe in the car eater.... drive thru eating. Not a good thing! Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed it!

I had to kick a Pepsi habit, so I can feel for you! I did it by using Crystal Light for a while and then tapered down to just water. Now, just plain water or unsweetened tea is what I drink. You can get there, but it is a tough habit to give up. Once I got it to where I didn't need it every day, then I'd have maybe one a…

That's so awesome!!!!! What a great post!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1215838-can-i-really-be-that-close-to-my-goal-weight-and-more Seriously, read hanfordrose's success story (I found it!). She did an amazing thing and I think her story can help you.

I really don't have any advice for you. I'm not sure how to tell you how to start, but I think you need to get in touch with another member of MFP, handfordrose. Gosh, I think that's her name. She has an amazing story of how she went from not being able to move, to losing a lot of weight. She recently had a post in the…

Oh yeah!!!

I only came on this post to see the cinnamon roll food porn. Slightly disappointed........

Good topic! I've felt this too, but I caught myself and now I'm pushing hard again. I like the way you put it, that you're starting phase 2. I'm stealing that.

I never did that well with tracking food either until restarting in January. It's been so much better this time and it has helped me a lot. I feel the same way in that if it has a lot of calories, I really have to decide if it is worth it to me. Some days, yep... it is!! The other thing I found is that I found that there…

Awesome! I'm looking forward to it myself, some day!!!

Motivation only gets you as far as the start. Dedication is what takes you to your goal.

I started on June 1st with the squat and 30 day abs challenge too!! It's harder than I thought it would be. I didn't think so when I first saw the challenge, but it increases rapidly. Good luck to you! OP - NICE! Thanks for posting! I'm inspired to make it all 30 days! Edited to add: Hadn't looked at page 2 of this thread.…

Ha,ha! LIKE!!!!

#4 - Yes, I do! Why is that??? I've been lotioning up like crazy.

I've had a couple recently. I can fit into 3 pairs of shorts that were way too tight last year. And... this is a big one for me because it was a goal.... We have a huge baseball tournament here (Junior College World Series!) each year that we always go to and we like to sit clear at the top of the stadium. Last year, I…

Nice! Good choice!

Loved this! You look great! Thanks for sharing your story.

I agree! Besides, you would lose so much time every month if you give yourself that excuse to slow down/stop.

So cool!! Good job! I have a long way to go yet, but I can just imagine how you must feel!

Wonderful post! Wish I could have heard this when I was in my 20's!! I don't know, maybe I wouldn't have listened, but at 50, I know you speak the truth! Well said!

Love the responses here. I'm using them! I do get tired of the comments on my almost daily salad lunch. I know they are being supportive, but I don't need to hear it on a daily basis "look how good you are, eating such a healthy lunch". Yep, just like every other day. Fortunately, at home, my family gets a kick out of it.…

Here's a different one.... used when walking back to the locker room at the gym, after a great workout. Aloe Blacc - I'm the Man. (Even though I'm not a man!) It makes me feel like such a stud.
