i weigh every day, once in morning and once at night. do what works best for you but for me, weighing each day helps keep me on track.

welcome! this is a great site. make sure u keep ur food diary!

my advice: if u bite it, write it! keeping a food diary is extremely important. wish i would have found this site a very long time ago. like she said above, u took the first step, u joined this site. there are some groups on the site where they do challenges, the one i'm in.....we weigh in every wed and send our current…

i always take my lunch. i work on a college campus with a chick-fila and other fast food options, lots of temptations and co-workers wanting me to walk over for lunch. i often walk with them but i don't eat the foods, i eat at my desk before or after. i do treat myself once in a while to a taco on the weekend, but i order…

going over in protein is ok but u do want to watch the sugar. and i agree with above, only natural sugars, but still try to limit if u wanna lose.

it's amazing how fast the weeks go by. i don't think i lost this week, hoping maybe a pound, i'll be happy with any loss! i increased water, hope it helps!

My weight in: 226.3

oh...one more thing: i changed my settings so my friends can see my food diary. i'm open for suggestions, am i eating enough to lose, too much, the wrong foods??? i had lap band surgery so i can't eat much meat, i stick to mostly soft foods and a few crunchy things......things that will go down and stay down. i went to the…

mine isn't moving either and i'm frustrated. i started walking on my Dad's treadmill and walking the dogs more and stuck to under 1,200 cal. a day :( the last two weeks i lost, don't understand why this week i'm stuck. hope i'm down at least 1 for tomorrow's weigh in.

wow! keep up the good work!!!!

I weigh every day too. Helps me stay on track and stay motivated to record my calories on this site. Do what works best for you!

congrats! i have lost 11 pds since i joined the site, tracking calories really works!!!

I did good today, walked my THREE dogs twice, once in morning, once at night. i haven't been exercising due to a bad leg (broke almost a year ago....broke tibia and tore ligaments....still in pain). felt good to be out walking again, nice weather in maryland today! also, got on scale and went down another 2+ pds!!!

did we decide on a weigh in day for each week?

me too! what a great group! i need this to keep me motivated.

ok my goal is 15 pds which would put my weight at: 215

thanks!!!! so are we aiming for a certain weight loss in 8 weeks?

Can I join too??? I prefer Friday weigh ins, but i'm down w any day. SW: 272 CW: 230.1 June 1st goal: 210 2nd goal: 199 GOAL: 170

add me too! i need lots of support and motivation too.

oh my gosh....i didn't even see that u can adjust the serving!!! sorry, i'm kinda new here!!! thanks, i got it now!

ok so i can change the serving size? was not aware of that option. or do u mean, go into the tools and add a food and change the serving size? these are all very helpful suggestions!!! thx!!!

what does a "shred" mean? just curious!

I will accept any and all friends!!! I need lots of motivation! and congrats to all of u with your weight loss!!!

Welcome! This site is great! I friended u!

I have two friends who were diagnosed with rare autoimmune disorders (one is in the lupus family) both were told to stop drinking and using artificial sweeteners from their doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital. My one friend has done extensive research on diet soda and sweeteners and has stop using them completely, she has no…

i stay at 1,200 or below a day, or i do not lose. maybe a lil more on weekends but i try to always stay under 1,400 a day.

Hi, Welcome to the site, i'm kinda new too. I have lost 40, need to lose another 50 -60. You are welcome to friend me, I am very serious about getting healthy and losing weight. I have a mini goal of losing 20 before my 50th b/d on June 1 and I need support and motivation too. I am super happy I joined this site because…

not sure if i'm responding to a quote correctly! anyway.....i loved Water for Elephants, i'm rereading now because the movie is coming out in April! i am thinking about purchasing a Kindle or Nook, why did u choose the Nook over the Kindle? and can u share ebooks?

i am rereading Water for Elephants cause i loved the book and the movie is coming out in April. Next on my list: I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman. LOVE to read and i recommend paperbackswap for those of u who want to list their used books. you mail a book and get a credit for a book! love it! recycle!

It really depends on your health concerns. Example: if u are diabetic or in danger of diabetes, watching ur sugar is most important. i was pre-diabetic before my weight loss so i always watch my sugar intake and check my sugar a few times a week. also for me, protein is very important because i'm hungry if i do not get 50…
