Thanks for sharing and congrats!

it isn't very realistic to think you will only eat your 3 meals a day at the same kitchen table every single day - right? I eat something every 2 to 3 hours. breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner. trying to avoid evening snacks. but in the end as long as you stay within your calories it really is…

while logged in to Fitbit - copy and paste the links people are giving you into a new tab and choose add friend... Not sure about the iphone...

just got mine 2 days ago and looking for supporters/friends... https://www.fitbit.com/user/2WCLW6

yes - every morning - and sometimes more than once !!! I don't freak out over it - but it's fun to watch - especially now that I'm tracking everything - I can see trends especially with sodium intake and water retention... Also weigh myself at night too... also not freaking out but seriously blown away sometimes by the…

woohooo! way to go!!

I stopped diet coke cold turkey - expected the nasty withdrawal symptoms but had none - even though it was my only source of caffeine... What if you do a little research and see what kind of crap you are putting in your body?... I like to tell myself that it's making me sick - imagine yourself having a horrible disease…

Wooohoooo! Congrats!

Me! My love for food... Yummy fattening sweet and delicious food... That addictive stuff that is in all that is yummy and fattening... But then again no one but me has lost the 52 lbs... So mind over matter wins!!!!

I have been under my goal of 1400 net calories only 7 times in the last 90 days... My struggle is to not go too far over... Considering that before my lifestyle change a little over a year ago I could easily eat 2500 to. 3000 calories a day... I try my best..

yes either you are logging or you're not. nothing in life is free!

unsalted cashews or pistachios, cheese, veggies, hard boiled egg, dark chocolate, 100 calorie oreo or chips ahoy thinsations pack...

real butter, half salt because I'm watching my sodium...

great job! thanks for sharing!!

went to NYC for the weekend with my hubby and boy! I figured it was about time - had never been before and live only 6 hours away!

You can do anything you set your mind to!

congrats everyone on your non-scale victories!!! they are alot of fun!!! Today my victory was a scale one - 173.5 - lowest I've been in many years - over 25 for sure... on my way to 165! Cleaned out my closet this weekend and got rid of all my pants over a size 12 (still had many size 15/16)... it's good to clean it out!…

don't discuss it with people around you... unless they bring it up in a positive way... otherwise - just keep making your healthy choices - and come here if you need some cheerleading...

whenever I cook I try to make at least enough for a lunch or two... mostly chicken, beef, pork or salmon as the main - plus two sides of veggies... Crockpots are fun too!!

congratulations! your hard work has paid off! I also don't believe in "cheat" meals or days... this is a lifestyle change for me - I will be having a little bit of dark chocolate most days for the rest of my life - and if the occasion arises and cake/treats are around I will find ways to fit them in - because seriously…

I am on every day and love encouraging/giving encouragement! Feel free to add me...

wow! congrats!!!!!!!! truly inspirational!!!

I was like you - have been yo-yo dieting most of my adult life... lose 10 - gain 15... Then last July I just couldn't fit in my skin anymore... Feel free to add me and read my story... In the meantime - I only joined MFP in May when things were stalling... It is alot of work - I agree with you. But you need to prioritize…

love this!

that is very close to what I eat 80% of the time... I went low carb last summer - originally committing to two weeks - but have stayed with it because my tummy is much happier... I don't drink so that's not a problem. Cutting out grains and most legumes - not a problem. I do have a bit of cheese or yogurt - but not every…

Yeah daily laxatives don't sound right... What does the package say? Try getting more natural fibre from food... I find 5 or 6 prunes a day helpful. And definitely more water..

following! Thanks!

following! thanks for the ideas! will check some of these out! I usually listen to Florence & The Machine Ceremonials or some Glee or Broadway Musical soundtracks when out for my walk... At aquafit I don't get to choose the music...

don't let others dictate how you should do anything... I lost the first 40 lbs without even counting calories let alone weigh my food. I did eventually buy a scale when I joined MFP so I could learn about what things weigh - but I also estimate about 80% of the time. I don't want to be the person who is obsessively…
