I used to own a top of the line bike and had all the best stuff on it, now I own one of those Wal-Mart bikes LOL. They are not as bad as they used to be, they carry some with schimano parts and some actual quality bikes if you pick right. The issue with those bikes is they most of the time have assosciates that know…

This program seems to work like a charm for alot of people and I am having great success with it, I would try it like normal for a few days and see what results you get after that. Have faith in the system.

I have the same budget issues as you and all our food is bought for the family, I am able to afford some lower calorie snacks sometimes so I am able to have those. I agree with the portion size and as I was told by many "it comes down to calories in and calories out". We do a monthly dinner menu so I always know what to…

You look wonderful!!! What an inspiration!!

I love swimming!!! I could stay in the pool all day, only place I feel weightless!!

Why does it have to come down to saying people are not telling the truth? Are we not all here for the same thing? I am here to get support not to see people downing other people for what they are logging. You also need to remember that some of these people are logging more than one activity and all that shows up is the one…

What you need to understand that with our size we will definately burn more calories than say someone that is half our size, essentially we are working out with weights just happens to be weights we cant take off. I agree if you are concerned try using a heart rate monitor. As we lose weight our calories burned will reduce…

I believe it, my mother suffered health related issues in correlation to eating what she deemed to be a healthy diet. She ate carrots tons of them and literally started taking on an orange color in her skin, the doctor told her to lower her carrot intake and her color returned to normal. She also ate a lot of fiberous…

How fun!! 1. My hair ( I may be going gray but can still make it sexy) 2. My calves ( Killer legs for an obese girl) 3. My big brown eyes

I have two, swimming and outdoor biking I absolutely love both!!

Way to go you are doing so awesome!!

You look absolutely awesome!! Great work, and I just want to let you know you look a whole lot younger too!!

I am right there with ya, all I ever think about is food all the time!! It is not easy and i find the more honest I am with myself the better off I am.!!! I love to eat all the wrong things and admit that I am addicted to the flavor of food!! The best thing I can tell you is you need to take a moment and really look at…

I absolutely LOVE the 90 calorie special k pretzel bars!!!

I guess I have to admit we are old school in our family, if you dont eat you dont get anything else and that includes TV or Computer time. My husband and I dont sneak foods in or try and trick them, we just say this is what we are trying today and that is the end of the discussion. I admit we get some pouting and see how…

I understand what it can be like to get everything done In a day and if you have to run them here and do that it takes up time also. This whole journey for us is learning to take time for ourselves for the better, not because we are being selfish. IMO does it really matter what time the dishes get washed? My suggestions…

A new kind of apple, where I live you can only find them in one place.

I either grab a couple 90 calorie granola bars (filling enough to hold of hunger for a bit) or have some snacks portioned out into baggies of their serving size, that way I dont have to guess as to how much I have eaten of them and I can just grab a bag or two and put them in my purse.

Mine does the walk up with the chest sticking out LOL!!! So no it is not just yours :)

A friend of mine told me when cut into an Entemens cheese danish that a couple cockroaches ran out, that was it for me I refuse to eat anything Entemens.

When you family asks you how many calories you have left for the day and they are not on MFP!!

I am in Orlando, been here 4 yrs. Moved to avoid snow shoveling anymore, and I love it here!!!

I ask myself everday if this is going to be the time I do it or if I am going to fail like all the other times I have tried. I know how you feel, how many times have we been down this road and sabatoged (sp) our own success. I am determined that this is it and changing our way of thinking is our biggest step to our…

I am also one of the other ones that has to lose 100+, this sight is great and the support you get from here is amazing!! It helps to keep you in check to know someone is there to celebrate even the smallest loss or conquer you have made!! Add me and we can help each other reach our goal!

I deal with the same thing, we plan menus ahead of time so I always know what i have to plan for during the day!

I am almost exactly in the same range of weight and loss goal as you, I know it seems like it will take forever but we can do this. The hardest part is starting and you have already done that so you can do this. Feel free to friend me, and we can help each other!!

I have the exact same problem, with all the stuff i dont want to eat in the house. I have to remain my best at being able to resist all he brings in, especially being addicted to food. I just have to resign myself to behaving no matter what, the best part is being accountable on MFP. I dont want to have to explain why I…

I appreciate all the replies and have picked out a few of the responses and plan on using them. For the bread, as much as I would like to say I am a good cook that is the only thing I am not able to make from scratch. If you would like a brick feel free to call me for a loaf of homemade bread LOL. Some of the things we…

I have been there, dont beat yourself up over it. Just start tomorrow on the right track. I dont think there is anyone on MFP that has not had one of those days at least once!!! Hold your head high and say " I did this and I am going to come back from this minor set back"!!!!! We are here for you :)

Welome to MFP!!! I agree this place is awesome. Feel free to add me!!!
