Portion size, and also logging everything helps. And I'll maybe have pizza OR cake... not generally both. Or if I do really want both, I'll have a slice of pizza, and a very small piece of cake, and then do some extra exercise. If you are really having a craving for the flavours, you can always do better alternatives, like…

hehehe never seen him censored before...

Mine disappeared for 4 months when I started eating differently. Just came back- was happy and sad about that... happy that things were back to normal, but it had been nice to miss the cramps and bloating. Checked with the dr. in the midst of it all, and he figured it wasn't anything to worry about. Sometimes things just…

I have definitely been a self-saboteur (hopefully reformed) ... stretching beyond diet and weight loss into relationships. I think it's all tied into being heavy all my life, and the associated insults and derision. It affects your self confidence, and you don't feel you deserve to be healthy or pretty, or loved. I'm…

I know.... I'm teetering on the 10 lb mark myself. Go pick up a 10 lb or two 5 lb hand weights, really makes you realize how much that actually is. Doesn't always look like that much in the whole scheme of things (to me, anyway), but it's a good bit of weight!

Some things that look healthy just aren't upon closer examination. It is all about the labels and reading ingredients. :P Or as one poster said, assemble your own. I hate that things can look good for you, but are loaded with sugar, or fat, or sodium. Have to be an educated and aware consumer these days.

When I started on MFP, my system went whacko. I can relate to your symptoms, if i'm not on the pill, i'm the same way.. want to burn down walls because that paint colour IS JUST NOT MAKING ME HAPPY, GRRRR!!! (can we say irrational anger??) But when I started this change of lifestyle, my TOM disappeared... It has just come…

Yep, i got stuck in one of those too... after much panting, sweating and a couple pulled muscles, I got it off without having to run through the store for an attendant (they never hang around the changing areas it seems)... thank goodness! But yes, the utter panic you feel and chagrin at having to get someone to help. I…

That's fantastic! I actually had some jeans die, so I went to get some at the plus size store, in my usual size. a week later, the button fell off, so i took them back to exchange. They didn't have the right size though, so for kicks I tried the next one down... and they fit!!! Isn't it an awesome feeling??? And I can feel…

Same here... I'm a shade under 5'4, and have the same tight jeans from thigh to knee. But I always have had big legs, even when I wasn't carrying so much weight. I've lost 9 so far, have another 80-90 to go to get to 140. Can I join??

lol actually, i see an aquarium with a stroller in the first picture, then a pic of a girl in tank top, sweater and jeans.- aahhh, there it looks better. And yes, great difference! looking good, keep up the good work!

I had a call like that.. 'oh, there was a problem with your pap...'. I immediately freaked out, until the nurse calling looked at the chart and found there were just insufficient cells. I hope it's the same for you!

Poutine is fries with cheese curds and gravy on them. Tasty, but definitely a once every couple of months/years thing... at least for me!

I grew up in Ft St John, but am in Alberta outside Medicine Hat now... Good luck!! I've been having some results with this site, and wish you the same!

I have done a pita pizza (after reading about it on this site!)... spread a bit of pizza sauce on a pita, some turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, other veggies for toppings, some low fat mozza shredded, a bit of oregano sprinkled on top, and toss it in the toaster oven til it melts. You get most of the flavours of pizza, but…

I'm a couple months and 8 lbs into my journey. Want to lose 100 and may need some support and encouragement along the way, feel free to add me! :)
-
I'm in the same boat you are... Similar amount to lose, and want to do it right, in a way that I can keep up with. Feel free to add me! Good luck, and we can do this!!!!

I just got back from a weekend trip (a lot shorter, i know)- If you are staying somewhere with a kitchen/kitchenette, can prepare some of your own food, or if you have a fridge, that helps a lot too- can stock up on fruit and veggies. The cooler is great! I also munch while I drive to stay focused, I was snacking on red…

Personally, I would say listen to your body. If you ignore pain and injure yourself, or further injure yourself, then it will just take that much longer to get back into your exercising. Hopefully your dr. can give you some exercises to help the knee. In the meantime, maybe some water based things? swimming, or aquafit or…
