Yes and to nazis they believed they were doing good. So tell me how my statement is incorrect?

I've gained 20 lbs before and been told, "Wow you look great! Are you losing weight?".

Follow your dreams. Your life is what you make it. Bad and Good are arbitrary.

I will send you a friend request :)

Jessica Smith, I bought her program even. I've been trying to find more stuff on youtube. I watch motivational shows every single day. I've also done some of the yoga with adrienne vids.

30DS doesn't do any of the work, you do. It's a wonderful 30 minute exercise program.

I've been grilling chicken, pork chops, veggies, shrimps...everything...

Pretty much all of my clothes. The one I'm wearing in my profile pic doesn't fit anymore and I'd love to wear it. It was pretty cute when I was 180 lbs last year. I'm now at 207, after losing 5 lbs since I started here 2 1/2 weeks ago.

I've sent you a friend request :) Love being social on here and I agree.

I've been taking a cinnamon supplement and using it to flavor my food, but the results are wary on whether or not it helps regulate blood sugar. Some studies have shown it effective for diabetic patients, but others have not. I think it can't hurt, so I take it, but I know full well that it's not a completely backed…

I have a bowl of oatmeal, quinoa flakes, or now some organic shredded whole wheat, all in the 140-150 calorie serving size. I add half a cup of 2%, or soy milk (whatever I have in the fridge) and some fruit/ dried fruit of my choice. Sometimes I have eggs or smoked salmon, or add a smaller portion to my carb meal for some…

Welcome to MFP. I sent you a friend request. First just try making tracking on this site a habit. Start changing your diet based on the calories and nutrient numbers the site is showing you. Don't give up:) Then find ways to be active and the weight is going to come off.

I burn 450 calories an hour doing Zumba. I might as well not exercise..amiright?

Glad you found what works for you.

I noticed Dr. Bronners really dries out my skin. You are actually supposed to dilute it with a lot of water. Even then I get dry skin from it, so I have stopped using it.

This troll is back. Please don't respond to this post with meaningful replies.

Hello... first of all I'm a total book worm. Then my other hobby is playing video games. I was playing 100 hours a week before I decided I would spend some of that time being active. My favorite is Final Fantasy 11 & 14. I'm geeky for.... harry potter, Zelda, FF, ohh and a big LOTR fan.

Have a cup of tea

You are looking fantastic. Bravo to you!

If you have some free time I highly suggest this guy's video's on youtube. They've been helping me channel my energy to work on myself and my motivation. He has way more than this one. https://youtu.be/HAPBunVnXuA

It's not all or nothing. It's consistency. Don't beat yourself up and remember the most important thing is to learn to be at peace with your decisions. You are in control of you, nobody else.

I log as I am preparing my meal one food or side dish at a time. Sometimes I look up the calories in something and see that I'm really going over for my goal for a meal or for the day and adjust the portions. Sometimes I see stuff like lettuce and cherry tomatoes don't make a large den't at all and fill up all the blank…

Wow.... you are an inspiration to me as a tall girl kinda starting off looking like your before :)

I lost 4.4 lbs the first week and I've been weighing myself daily and haven't seen a change since. I'm also coming up on my full 2nd week. I'm not sure I'll weigh myself less often because putting the scale away last time made me forget all about my weight.

The vegan bloggers that I see who claim to maintain on 3k+ are doing athletic endurance workouts daily such as running or bike riding.

Looking for friends to stay motivated with me through May :)

Welcome ^^ I will send you a friend request.
