not only do I feel that way but my crazy thoughts sometimes think my scale is lying and I really didn't lose weight.

I work for a school district so I see it the best advise I can give you is this. Get involved talk to the principal, recess ladies, teacher etc.. Make them all aware of what is happening. Have your son go to them as soon as something happens. Many times the teachers, bus driver etc have no idea what is going on. But if you…

lots of good tips in this thread. This is something I was worried about as all my pants are falling off now. But can't afford new clothes all the time either. I like the thrift store idea, especially as I will continue to need smaller sizes

I think running and exercising with your son is a great idea. My middle daughter who wasn't a runner joined cross country this year and now a few months later is coming in 3rd out of 29 girls she is running a mile and a half in 9.45 minutes. Sure it was hard work but she ran a little father each day and is going districts.…

I totally agree, I love pumpkin treats.

Yes I would love to as well, might help me stay on coarse with all the yummy foods coming our way

You look great!

Wow, you really look amazing. I am at 3 months now, and you inspire me to keep going strong.

Honestly it was my husband he started losing weight probably a year before me and I saw not only how good he was looking but he was happier and seemed to have more energy to go do things and I thought I want that too!

I felt the need to post because this isn't the only post she says that. She gets on other peoples posts spamming them with the same info, over and over at some point it just gets annoying.. If you don't believe me look at the one where the poster asks how bad it is to go over her sugar limit. She is all over that thing

OP, ok so first you seem to think it's your mission yo tell us how to eat. Not your job. Second you seem to say the same things over and over, we get it. Enough already and third you have yet to lose weight and I poked through your food diary for a few weeks and I saw a chocolate chip cookie and a glazed donut. :-O So you…

I have a similar issue, I make apple butter, apples in oatmeal, apple muffins, apple crumbles, apple sauce, apple chips in the dehydrator.I hope to get a juicer sometime to make apple juice. Hope this helps.

I look at it more as do not go over this amount, not try to eat this much. In carbs I get no where near what mfp suggests but I am near my calories.

that is so very wonderful. I love the added benefits that come with losing weight and eating healthy

I don't have cheat days but there are days where I am out with friends and I eat stuff I shouldn't but it's not very often. I don't log my meals those days but I do try control the portion sizes.. I realise I may go over some on those days but its still way better then the way I used to eat. Also when I am out with friends…

I'm not sure it's just the mirror I think the scale is in on it too! I've lost 16 lbs and people tell me they can tell and my clothes are looser but I don't see it. It's a conspiracy I tell you!. ;-)

Welcome, feel free to add me as well!

the first week or two I would wake up in the middle of the night starving, I'd drink water and go back to bed. Honestly I don't have any great words of wisdom. I just suffered through it. It did eventually stop but there were a couple of rough weeks. Sorry I don't have great advice, but sounds as though others do. ;-)

love the pics! Totally help motivate me today!

ok I checked a bunch of other apple sauce and they were all way lower so I guess it was a bad entry?

you can add me as well! I come on here several times a day.

I try not to have a whole day, but a meal or a snack that is not in my diet plan does happen. I just try to make sure it isn't a habit either. But if I am really y craving something I do allow myself to have it. I just make sure to have portion control, and maybe extra exercise tomorrow;-)

I've noticed my ankles also have lost weight

I don't worry if it is correct or not. I never eat back those calories. I just stick to my limits and enter my exercisers just to keep myself in line. And to make sure I am doing something everyday.

you can add me as well I am on several times a day
