Omg! You guys are so amazing! I really didn't expect this much support and replies. It really makes me want to keep moving forward, and fighting for my goals. I cannot thank you enough. <3

Tatiana, thanks a lot for your words. I'm feeling a lot better. You're completely right. I promise I'll take this into account, and work hard to not lose focus! I shouldn't be complaining, and I know it; I should just work hard to achieve my goals! :)

Oh the ice cream! Don't get me started on the ice cream. For better or for worse indeed. Haha.

Well, I've been "dieting" for about a month and a half already. But only using MFP for a week, and in that week I lost the weight that would've taken me three weeks to lose before using MFP. So maybe it does underestimate the amount of calories I burn. I have it set on "sedentary" because I don't do much but school and…

At least I feel better to know I'm not alone. It's just hard, because if I was alone I know I'd do better eating healthy. Instead he'll show up with some high calorie snack or meal, and I'm like... omg! lol I try my best to make the best choices, also with no fries or soft drinks (that are not diet) I'm giving it my all.…

Uh-oh... I think I may be a friend-*kitten*! Lol. Sometimes I just don't know what to say. I feel a tad awkward, and just send the request (because I read them on a board). If they accept I'll definitely be commenting on their statuses, and progress. That's the point of being friends and giving each other some support.…

I keep my dairy in case you wanna see it! Hope it gives you a rough idea.

Ugh my arms are too thin for my body, I think that's the first place to lose/gain weight. My legs are a whole different story! I lose weight fairly easy from my abdomen, but it doesn't get as thin as I'd want it to be (never flat)... My breasts are probably the first part to gain/lose weight! Haha. Any normal girl wouldn't…

Wow. How inspiring! Congratulations. I bet you're looking wonderful. I hope you have a blast! Enjoy.

Either a sandwich, with sandwich thins... or cereal, and a fruit. That usually does the trick for me. And for those *really* busy days when I don't have time in the morning, I just grab a banana and a protein shake, and I eat it on the go.

Agh... I love Chipotle, but I don't go there anymore. Too unhealthy! I'm glad you decided to try to lose weight once again. I hope MFP helps you. There's a lot of love and support in here! :) Best of luck.

Working out as much as you can (even if it's twice a week) is very important. I really hope you can achieve your goal. You can do it! Work hard, and don't give up.

Wow. Congratulations! How inspiring. Great job.

When I'm on the run, McDonald's is my friend. I don't have fries though. And I've still been losing weight. It's pretty cool, I just have to watch my fiber intake because my old body cannot take running low.

I'm 5'0"... or 4'11" feel free to add me!

You're my favorite person in the world now! I am completely obsessed with fried chicken, but I rarely eat it because it's super unhealthy. I'll try this recipe sometime. Thanks a lot!

I usually just take a handful, I guess I have small hands, but it does the trick for me.

I'm with rc630, either you're gaining muscle, or you need to work out in a smarter way. Writing down what you eat helps you with the counting calories in case that's where you're messing up. Have you considered your scale may be broken? I know it sounds silly, but that could also be an issue. If none of the above sound…

As a girl I prefer less weight, more reps/sets, because it tones the body. Higher weights less reps/sets are usually better to build up muscle (get bigger) So it depends on what you want for yourself. Hope it helped you!

Special K protein shakes? They're 190cal each bottle, with the 10g of protein and 5g of fiber I find them very filling and yummy!

Welcome! I'm fairly new as well, I'm pretty sure you'll like it in here. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Welcome, dear! Feel free to add me as a friend. :)

Congratulations! :) I always tell MFP everything. lol And it's worked so far. I was really surprised this week! Keep up the good work.

Oh-oh... I love carbs :( I'm a carb-o-holic.

Well, at first I was very confused about measurements, but if you grab a "cup" size measurements and look at it, you should have a rough idea of how much that is, be familiar with them, which doesn't mean you should walk around with measuring cups in your purse. lol. I find it easy to follow as long as I don't obsess about…
