Hey there :) I saw your group, and I could use some motivation again.. I hope you guys don't mind I joined :)

A lot of the times I get cravings because I see the food. So I just usually avoid my kitchen like the plague. But when I have reallllly bad cravings, I go out to the supermarket and buy a single serving of whatever it is. That way, it is impossible for me to over eat it. Usually when i try to do the substitution thing,…

Oh, that's definitely a challenge for me, especially the sweets!:blushing: I'm in :smile:

BUMP!

Really great post! Thanks for sharing :)

I've actually decide to try it too! I was told that you should at least try it for a month, just in case your progress is slow. No offense to Sunshine2plus, but don't listen to her. I think she's referring to starvation mode (http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/starvation-mode/ covers this entire idea properly). But the 5:2…

This is my first weight loss challenge! But i'm definitely not new to MFP SW: 180 CW: 170 GW: 130 :) Weigh in Dates: 3/01: 3/08: 3/15: 3/22: 3/29: End Of Month ... If I hit my goal, I'd be too ecstatic to need to reward myself with anything lol But running shoes would be nice... :)

I'd love to help :D I'll send you a request right now!

trust me, aunt dot is a pain! When I had it, i saw the same number on the scale for the 3rd week! Definitely was kinda sad, but it has to go down sometime, right? Then after it left, I literally plummeted from 171 to 167! I've never ever got that far on weight loss journeys, so it was quite the high! Don't worry, it must…

Mine comes from this song called "Chase the Sky" by a band called PK. And basically it's an awesome song that was stuck in my head when I was creating my usernames.... and 125 comes from my UGW.

Alright, thanks everyone!

I don't have these crazy cravings for sugar alllll the time, and i can actually hold myself back. My body can realize when I'm full at 2000 calories or so (and i feel so full I can't eat for a day and half lol) I actually don't pillage my brother's gummy snacks, and i take one like a normal person. I drink more water! My…

- bags upon bags of gummy bears and gummy worms (I do this to a much much lesser extent now) - 10+ bags of snack size doritos (ditto with cheez its :blushing: ) - Box of flan (6 cups really) - GIRL. SCOUT. COOKIES. 'nuff said. Most recently I went to McDonald's and had a fish sandwich, white chocolate mocha (with the…

This is soo late, but if you follow the entire book, from Cycle 1 to Cycle 4, you should be able to keep it off, I own the book, and from what I see, Cycle 4 is a guideline of how to stick to a normal 2,000 calorie every day diet

I feel your pain! I've never been the skinny chick and it used to bother me(I've totally gotten over it). My entire family is in that situation, and we all "try" to lose weight. It's really as easy as eating at a deficit. Here are some tips that help me: *For maximum success, realize that everything is done in BABY steps!…

My graduation is coming up! And also, I've realized it's getting much easier now! I just have to eat when I feel hungry, not when I *want* to eat. Then I've dropped the "all or nothing" mentality, which is probably the only reason I'm still on a "diet" right now

Hey everyone! SW (1/6/14): 172LB Goal Weight: 155LB UGW: 130LB :)

AGH I do this all the time! But i love McDonald's "chicken" nuggets (lol we all know it's the weird chicken leftovers) and their fries. THEIR MEDIUM FRIES ARE 550 CALORIES. A good portion of their SANDWICHES aren't even 500+ calories! But i don't go that often... so I enjoy a lot :blushing:

Honestly, I prefer to drink just water and stay away from all the calorie-free stuff. I drink a diet coke every once in a while, but other than that I just drink water. Because when you drink pure water, it lowers the load on your kidneys. If you drink other liquids, you still have to filter it to reabsorb all the water.…

Sign me up! I'll follow you on IG

I'm not an expert, but from what I've read so far I learned that as long as you eat at a deficit you'll lose weight. Some foods make this easier to accomplish, while other foods make it harder. Protein has less calories per gram while fat has more calories per gram. So since you can eat more protein than fat, you'll be…

I feel like you're such a troll, no offense! But to the OP, some of my goals are: Drink more water Log accurately at least 4 times a week Go running at least once a week

bump!

Well hello there :) We're all on that journey (or at least a very good chunk of us)! Whatever you do, DON'T QUIT!

It would mean that you go over your calories or that you ate "unhhealthy" foods. Its more of a subjective term, which is why I put it in quotes

That's not gonna really work out for you! But if your incentive is to just "look good" by April 21st, then I would suggest you do some weight training. That helped me a lot! I only lost 5lbs (since I started), but I look so much different (IMO) because it was almost all fat! Sooo for looking good, I'd recommend that you do…

I haven't done it yet, but i've done my research! Insanity is a workout exactly like the title says. I wouldn't recommend that you do anything else because you probably won't be able to lol. You have to make sure to eat very well because this burns a serious ton of calories and fat. Also, this can be really hard on the…

Welcome aboard! The fact that you're here is progress :) It'll be a slow journey, but every second will be worth your results in the end! I've never really been at that "healthy weight" but I used to be a soccer goalie (lol the least amount of movement possible in the world of soccer)

I agree with the wrist thing! I love my eyes ...and i definitely love my chest lol, I'll be kinda sad to see it go when I lose all of this excess body fat! And I love the idea of this post:love:

The same thing happened to me when I was starting out! And I feel that I don't need to eat as much anymore to be happy! It's crazy how the little things can motivate you immensely :)
