My diary is open to friends. I like to look at others diaries and I'm sure some of my friends like to look into mine. Don't give advice unless they ask for it- simple as that.

I tell people this all the time...one of my reasons for losing weight is to be fit before I have a baby. I can just imagine gaining more weight on top of what I have and feeling extra tired and fatigued.....yea no thxs!

You look awesome!! Love that crop top!

I completely understand your situation. Thank God my family has decided to join me this time around. I see everyone saying portion control is key and it definitely is. But for me the problem wasn't my portion control, it was the snacks and junk laying around in the house. I would feel so proud of myself for eating a "good"…

I use to feel the same way...counting calories and feeling deprived so then I would binge on sweets and junk. What I try to do now is just take things a day at a time. I follow my MFP calories (currently 1,300) and am doing the Focus T25 program, which is perfect for me. I can't make any good excuses as to why I can't work…

Hi Stephanie... glad to hear your back on the wagon! Feel free to add me :)

25 but I'm sticking to 21 from here on out! Feel free to add me :)

I am on day 2 week 2 of the Alpha Cycle. I lost 5.2 lbs the first week just by following my calorie intake on MFP and doing the workouts but I made sure to have the fans off and really give it my all and SWEAT! I also swapped out my dinner 3 times a week for shakeology. I got the sample kit ...I only liked chocolate…

Amazing & inspirational !!

I would say don't drink your calories. This happened to me a few days ago- I was out running errands before work and instead of grabbing a water bottle I grabbed a bottle of apple juice. At the end of the night when I was going over my food entries I noticed I forgot to add the apple juice and it was a grand 210…

Hi! I've found that I do well with having a support system and friends here on MFP to relate to. I wasn't all about having friends on MFP for a long time (I had a previous MFP acct and failed miserably the first time around). I was always very reserved and private about my weight issues but I've learned that you can't do…

I love the last quote you wrote "Focus on the results and you never see the change; focus on the change and you always see the results." Thank you for your words of encouragement!

@bajoyba In a perfect world. I was just talking to my best friend last night and she mentioned how perfect it would be to sit and meditate 1-2 hrs per day on your weight loss and exercise and have the weight just magically disappear bc of your meditation. Lol in a perfect world! Until then there's MFP and the gym!

@bajoyba. I definitely agree! Don't get me wrong I realize the predictions are just that but the thought of reaching your predicted goal in 5 weeks is a nice thought lol. I wondered if something was wrong since I am not near the number at all but as everyone has been saying there are too many factors to rely on those…

I do the same thing. I usually have a cheat meal on Saturday but for the rest of the week I am eating clean. It keeps me sane, I can't entirely give up my comfort foods so I am learning to practice self control and save it as a treat for the weekend.

Thank you guys for all your feedback, I really appreciate it.

@monicancapatituc Ahh I see what you mean, that makes sense! I will try my best to ignore that number and just take it a day at a time. I am losing weight just not at the rate MFP is predicting!

@Kayskidz....Those advertisers are some sneaky people I tell ya!

Yes exactly. It also teaches me how to exercise my self control throughout the week and on the weekends. That cheat meal could easily turn into a cheat weekend marathon!

I currently have the Herbalife French Vanilla powder and use it on those days where I am either running late and need something quick or if I know I'll be eating out somewhere later on (family dinner, birthday dinner, etc) and am trying to save my calories for that meal. My herbalife shakes are usually 190-195 calories. I…

Hi! Best of luck with your healthy eating goals :)
