Keep up the good work!!! I see the progress!

Uhm, just knowing that now ruins any desire to splurge on that. I can't imagine how many calories I have consumed at the cheesecake factory. Glad you stopped yourself. Don't beat yourself up. Just get up and try to work it off!

GREAT JOB!!!

Wonderful Job!!! You have inspired me to push forward!

Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad that others can learn from your experience.

Wow, your day and night sounds like mine. I have a kid that is a poor sleeper. Always has been. So, I use to be exhausted everyday and escape to food. Now, I focus on being healthy. I delegate certain days when mommy is not available. Daddy has to step in and take up the slack. I work out on those days, plan and cook…

You look amazing! I am so glad you were able to reach your weight loss goal!

I use to do the no carbs after lunch, but to be honest, I was starving after dinner and had a headache, like the pp said. So, I just focus on staying in my calories, and carb ratio for the day. I have eaten carbs for dinner and still lost weight, so I am going to just be mindful of my portions, but not ban carbs totally at…

Wow..I have a kid with food allergies, so this would be impossible for us, but if I did not consider this, I would buy: Frozen bulk veggies Apples Bulk chicken and ground tukey Dry beans Eggs Tuna Quiona Orzo Pasta Olive Oil

You look AMAZING! Thanks for the motivation!

True I have never eaten sushi.

Holidays and special occassions are the hardest. I haven't been on mfp long, but since I started we had a huge Father's Day family dinner and I ate: Turkey, cornbread dressing, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, broccoli cheese and rice caserole, deviled eggs, a few fried chicken drummettes, Apple pie and ice cream and I…

step away from the cookies

Stay Strong, and know that you are surrounded by love and support. I hope you beat the h@!! out of cancer, and push it so far into remission that it won't dare to rear it's ugly head again in your body!

You seem confident!

I read an article and it listed what minerals and vitamins your body is craving when you crave certain junk food. Personally, I use to eat toll house cookies and icecream, and a lot of it when I was pmsing. But now, I know that the extra calories are not worth it, because I know I won't exercise when I am in pain. So, I…

Monitor your sodium intake. When I cut out processed and high sodium foods I started losing.

I usually eat trader joes champagne pear vinaigrette, or kens dressing. I am not a fan of balsamic vinegar. If I do want to "splurge" on dressing (I love avocado ranch). I place a drop on my fork, and stir it over the salad greens. I throw the rest away. When I realized that a pack of salad dressing that I use to eat as…

You have a nice smile!

Way to go!!! I can't wait to get to ONEderland!

Welcome! This is a wonderful place to meet friends and stay motivated!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! I looked into the Medifast program when my doctor told me that I was pre-diabetic, and I needed to lose weight. First, it is expensive beyond belief. Secondly, it is very hard to maintain. The program in my area required weekly weigh ins during business hours, meaning I would have to take time…

I just did a set of these in my bootcamp class for the first time. OMG. Our instructor had us jump forward, get down, push our legs back, then jump back so that our knees touched our chest, stand up and jump spin to do the same thing on the other side. She wanted us to do 8. I did 3, and then I felt like I was about to…

I wanted to try them as a quick meal replacement for days I am stuck in the office and don't want to hit the vending machine, but they are too expensive. I researched som green smoothie recipes, and I have used those instead. I am not a big artifical flavor person, so I doubt if I would prefer the strawberry over the…

FORGIVE YOUR SELF, THINK OF CREATIVE WAYS TO BURN THE EXTRA CALORIES, EAT NORMALLY. MOVE ON. YOU DID NOT GAIN ALL THE EXCESS WEIGHT DUE TO ONE MEAL, AND ONE MEAL WON'T BLOW YOUR SUCCESS UNLESS YOU GET DISCOURAGED AND GIVE UP!!!! KEEP FIGHTING!

Howdy! You can add me too. I am not with the negativity either. I have a lot to lose. Saying the number is overwhelming, but I know that slowly I will get there!

Congratulations!!!! So glad you conquered your fear and enjoyed your swim!
