Ohh you guys all make good points. It never occurred to me that I can just track my food for a day or a week or so and later on every once in a while. That will make tracking it more bearable. As for the protein and fat. The peanut butter crackers I eat sometimes have fat and protein in them. The first week I had some…

I'm doing something similar, the only difference is I started on my birthday last week (1-28). I'd be happy if I could just lose 50 pounds by next birthday, but if I can lose 100, that would be the best birthday present I could give myself ever.

An entire can of cream of broccoli soup mixed with an entire can of corn. Then I'd steam more broccoli and mix it in all together and eat the entire thing. Sometimes when I went to aldis I got a snickers bar and ate it before dinner, then ate dinner, and then a snack before bed. Or like a 4 pack of the banana nut muffins…

Well this post has made me feel a little better about my weight gain this week. Howver, does anyone ever keep gaining weigh through out the week?? I have been steadily gaining 1-2 lbs a day this past week! I haven't been binging or eating a lot of crap this week either. Maybe it is because my period is lasting a really…

I usually do the stationary bike but just started with the elliptical yesterday so I will try this. I can usually do 3-5 miles on the bike but just trying for 1-2 miles with the elliptical. I may be able to do 35 miles on the bike this month but I want to make another goal for the elliptical and say 15 miles on there. So…

My biggest problem with the shakes is that I am starving all the time! And the shakes taste so good, so I drink way more shakes than I should. I tried them when I was younger but will never do that again. This lady at this gym I used to go to tried really hard to sell me this weird shake diet thing. She kept talking to me…

I've lost 13lbs but haven't noticed a change. I probably need to take monthly pictures of myself or something. I have noticed that my jeans are feeling looser, though, so yay for that.

Today, I did 15 minutes on the elliptical after starting with just 3 minutes. (I mean, when I started, I could only do 3 minutes). Also, I did 45 minutes on a stationary bike, for a total of 60 minutes of cardio. I usually only do 30 minutes.

I started playing Magic the Gathering in October. Now, when I have a little extra money and want to splurge, instead of going to McDonalds or something and getting a cheeseburger, I go buy a Booster Pack instead. I also play MTG a lot and it really helps to keep my mind occupied so I am not thinking about food. Also, when…

Not to mention the 2 seats behind that row no one seems to be in. I am quite sure the picture is fake. I don't know where the picture came from, but did the guy with the blog post the picture? If so, its possible the guy just made it up or exaggerated quite a bit. I can't imagine the flight attendants being as incompetent…

I am very familiar with this situation. A couple years ago, I was all the way up to 330. I was so depressed and at the lowest point in my life. Then I moved away and lost 45 lbs. And a few months later another 10 lbs. But then I went back home last summer and went back to very bad habits, and gained all the way back up to…

I think what I need to do is be more active on here. Read other's people's posts and blogs. And yes, start my own so I can be held accountable. I don't have much support in real life and it is real easy to feel very alone in this. I am already starting to feel a tiny bit better.

The thing is I cannot have junk food in the house or I will eat it all. It is easier to not get any junk food at all so late at night, there's no temptation. Well, there's temptation, but nothing to eat. I don't think I have any self control at all.

this morning i had 4 hardboiled eggs toast and some coffee. no lunch dinner was a bag of spinach and some pinto beans. yesterday was some hard boiled eggs, toast, coffee for breakfast sandwich for lunch, like 3 pears through out the day. dinner was some chicken broccolli and carrots.

Hi I'm Melissa, I am 25 and have way over 50 lbs to lose but would love some friends on here :)

Well, I was planning on going to the gym tomorrow (or today...Thursday) because I cannot go there Friday, and I do not like going Saturday or Sunday because the gym is very crowded. Monday is kinda iffy because I cannot actually drive myself atm. That's why I was planning on doing it Tues Wednesday Thursday because that is…

:( I'm sorry, that is unfortunate.

I suggest swimming, if you can take the ace bandage off

I have the same problem. I have done water aerobics and that really helps my joints. I try not to do a ton of walking. Instead I prefer a stationary bike. Not one of the ones that is like a regular bike...the ones with the pedals out in front of you. This way, less pressure goes on my foot and it hurts less.

I eat one of those Nature Valley Honey and Oats Bars with a glass of skim milk. Actually, I eat two, because there's two in every package. I am trying to cut down to just one, though. Or I eat 1 chewy granola bar.

I am at 304lbs now and while it would be awesome for me to lose even 10 lbs a month, I do not expect to. I look at it a different way. My goals are things I can directly control, like my calorie intake and my exercise every day. I know it is cliche, but I take it one day at a time. If I reach my calorie goal by eating…

Yes I think so also. I have never made it to my calories I'm supposed to eat in a day. Even yesterday, I thought was a really bad day, but did not meet the calorie goal. And the exercise is also exaggerating, a bit I think. At the gym when I'm on machines it tells me a number much less than what is on here. To be safe,…
