I saw your post in here and decided to hop on my bike too! Thanks for the motivation. I only did 15 mintues, but it was something.

Praying for your sister!

Each one of the replies to my post is very much appreciated. I look at your profiles, where you've been and how far you've come and I am thankful to have each of you on my side encouraging me. I did do better today. I went over my calorie count by 198 calories, however I was at a baptismal reception...I was so hungry, and…

I must say that I am ashamed of myself that I can't seem to stick to healthy eating for more than three days without going back to JUNK FOOD!! I just looked at my reports and I haven't lost a pound all month. I only exercised three times. I know no one has control over me, but me and reading all the success stories here…

Congratulations!!! I'm not sure if it's true, but once upon a time I went to WW meetings and I recall a leader telling us to make sure we drank our skim milk, because it would help with reducing loose skin as we lost weight. Maybe it has something to do with calcium intake. Research calcium benefits for skin and see if you…

Thanks, going there next to check it out!

Is there some place on MFP to find sample menus for the week. I need to plan my meals in advance and could use some help coming up w/a lot of low cal meals. Thanks!

Jasper, you made wonderful suggestions. All of you have! Thank you so much. Today is a new day.....I have not been planning my meals and I certainly have not been exercising or doing anything "fun!" I am going to try and chunck my day and if I mess up at one meal, which I will do my best not to mess up, I will get back on…

I'm just a mess. I can't seem to stick to healthy eating habits for more than two days and then I crash!!! I don't want to say I'm dieting, I want to believe I'm on my way to a lifestyle change. However, I'm not doing so well. I use food as a friend, and I know until I get over that mindset change I'm in for a long…

Congratulations on your loss and on having such a great husband!!!!

How do you convert ounces to grams? Would 1 ounce be equal to 55 grams?! I found a food in the data base that I ate, but it's calculated by grams!

How do I get to a chat room from the site?

Good Advice! I've now set the laptop up in the kitchen, so it will be easier to log in a food before eating it! Thanks.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with me. I am logging everything today AND DRINKING WATER!! lol FIrstly, I am already amazed at how many calories I've been wasting puting soy creamer in my coffee. Secondly, drinking the water is taking the edge off my hunger.

Actually I haven't been recording everything I eat. Once I know I blew it, I stop recording because I don't want to see how badly I've done. However, coming to this message board last night and see that people like yourself are willing to help motivate me is wonderful. Also, I think I drink more diet drinks and coffee then…

Thank you so much for replying. You are officially the first person on the site to talk to me. I thought I could do this alone, but I know I can't! Thank you, thank you.

Congratulations! That is awesome. Would you be able to share the one thing that gets you through when you are really craving sweets, or are so hungry you just can't stick to the calorie count? I need help getting going here.

I signed onto this site months ago as I watched a coworker lose weight regularly. In 6 months she has lost more than 50 pounds and looks incredible!! She was a Weight Watcher, and since I've always used the WW plan to lose weight too, I decided to make the switch to "myfitnesspal.com" and follow her lead. However, not only…
