If anyone is still reading this thread i am in Broward County

everyone's tips are great! My tip is to be totally committed to losing weight or else it won't happen. You HAVE to be mentally ready!

Peanut butter ... cant buy it or I eat it all off the spoon.. who needs bread??

I didnt notice anyone mentioning this but something else might be your sodium intake. You have some days very very low which is almost impossible to be under 500mg/day believe me I know as I aim for 1000mg/day. A vegetable stock cube which you had zero for probably has around 500mg. Maybe you are taking the food from the…

I have been on MFP for almost 2 years and have lost 100lbs.. Since I went thru menopause this last March my metabolism has stopped! Ive gained 20lbs and need to get a jump start back to losing and feeling better! I am starting Paleo on Feb 1st as I want time to research and see what Im supposed to eat and not eat! Also…

You can also put the app on your phone and scan your labels on your food into your diary too! Can't get more accurate than that. Ive been here almost 2 years and had been on Sparkpeople too and yes I found it to be a bit more complicated than this site., Enjoy it here.. its easy to use and also will sync with your fitbit!…

I have 3 Shiba Inus and they each have a different personality! Their names are Bear Foxy and Sammy! Sammy is a foster that is 11 yrs old that has adopted us!

makes 3 of us!!! born between 2 saints!

Heres my twin!!!

excellent story and sounds very familiar! So good to feel awesome isnt it? Congratulations!

peanut butter! I will eat the whole jar... one spoonful at a time Oreos too!

without seeing your diary its hard to comment on what you may or may not be eating.. Be sure you are geting 8-10 glasses of water every day.. 5-7 servings of fruits and veggies. watch the carbs and sodium. I have almost totally stopped eating processed foods... cant totally as I eat cheese and it is processed. As for your…

grilled veggies that you fixed the night before... I eat for dinner then take the left overs for work the next day. Zucchini, yellow squash, onions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms whatever you want.. I also fixed salad then add grilled chicken to it for lunch.

domestic partnership for 12 years... compicated?.. sometimes.... happy?...most times...changing my status any time soon?....nope...just chilling and going with the flow!

to the people who have their diaries private or have chosen not to log for whatever the reason you might have... do you have friends here that are people you dont know or just here to have a place to log and keep track of macros? just curious

When I went on this lifestyle change journey I gave up all most all processed foods..(I still eat cheese) and limit my sodium. That meant no more Subway! I make my food and bring my lunch every day but I have the luxury of being able to do that and a lot of people dont. Subway is better than a lot and you make it as…

my thoughts exactly... maybe in the other order or both!

step machines are great if you dont have bad knees bad hips or bad ankles.. not using that as an excuse as I would love to be able to use it but after having 2 knee replacements and 2 hip replacements I cant walk up steps like people with good knees.. I just suggest you dont over do so that you wont hurt your knees as you…

Hey thats ok your here now and thats what counts.. Today is a new day and a new start! I am a Surgical Tech and been around here over a year now. Best people for motivation and support are here at MFP! I am in "over 50" crowd at 54 and have made mincemeat of the notion you cant lose weight after the age of 50! Feel free to…

one thing i would do is to make sure you are using the correct nutritional info for each item you have on your diary. I saw somethings that say there is NO sodium like chinese food when we know theres lots of sodium in Chinese food. There were other items too that have sodium that were logged with none. If your sodium is…

I have been reading a book called the Belly Fat Cure which talks about the carbs and sugars in ones diet and how the sugars hinder weight loss. I know I had read before that if you are on a plateau to check how much sugar natural or refined you are getting and stay within the limits MFP has set. If you are eating all that…

I am a surgical Technologist and eat a protein shake at home before work and bring my break and lunch with me every dayl We have a lot of food brought in by drug reps so it is hard sometimes to resist! I try to stay out of the kitchen!

75 degrees here in Ft Lauderdale...

We have : Bear -Shiba Inu 2 1/2 Foxy- Shiba Inu 3 1/2 and we are folstering a rescue looking to be adopted a 7 month old Shiba Inu named Maximus

What a heartwarming story and Ill bet you cant wait to get her!

I also agree that you need to up your protein. I looked over your diary and I am by no means an expert or a nutritionist I just know what worked for me. I cut out processed foods which I see you dont have much at all of(Super job there!) I cut down on sodium and your diary shows you stay well under but some of you items…

Welcome... I am also from Florida and I started last Feb 2011 at a weight of 265 with a height of 5'3 I am now still 5'3" but I am at 165lbs.. took me 10 months as I reached 100lbs lost on Dec. 26th... I am right now in a holding pattern as I just had surgery 3 weeks ago and hadnt been able to exercise since Jan. Good luck…

Well I seem to be the only Panthers fan but thats ok! We made the playoffs for the first time in 12 years! Things are looking up! We got our butts kicked in the first period last night and took a hard fought loss after that but still gotta cheer! Was at the game last night and it was awesome! #WEBELIEVERED
