i told myself i wouldnt buy new clothes until i was at goal; but my size 28's were sooo huge. i wore them for quite awhile (6months), just with belts and such, but i really started to look terrible. so i broke down and bought some size 18 stuff 2months ago or so and found some people who had lost weight and gave me clothes…

when you excercise (especially when its an intenser workout), you go up pounds in water weight because your muscles pull in more water to heal the broken cells (you break cells when you workout). the only way to rid yourself of the water weight is to rest for a couple days; so just stick with it for the 30days, the take a…

Id like to clarify a little i guess, i was running short of time yesterday and didnt have alot of time to write my intro. I am not talking about working out 4hours a day to try to get to my 100 pounds lost or being unhealthy and tired. I plan to excercise for 20minutes each day (unless its a day like today where we have…

i completely agree with sunshine. also, i eat my calories, plus my excercise calories (just like tons on people here) and i continue to lose weight. the mfp system does work, thousands of us are proof.

i hope i joined the group the right way? nice to meet you guys; im 26 from oregon. i normally would never set myself with a 15lb goal in less than a month, but im really determined because my family has not seen me since ive lost a single pound and saying "i lost 100lbs this year" is a big number, and i believe it might be…

i drink 20cups a day on the average day and have to go alot. if u drink higher amounts everyday for awhile, after a week or two you will no longer need to pee every 10 minutes. at one time i was literally going every 10minutes with drinking my 20cups, but now drinking the same amount i go maybe 10x a day (which is less…

id save them for tomorrow; or having it later (you might be hungry in a hour?).

Yay! Must be an amzing feeling!

the less calories you eat/the less you gain is, im sorry, horrible advise. You need to be sure to eat enough, following what mfp suggests for you, making sure you get a minimum of 1200 NET calories (calories consumed minus excercise calories equals net calories). with a mind set of "i need to eat as few number of calories…

Great job guys!! Congrats on not being eaten by the zombies!

eggs are healthy, but just having the egg whites is healthiest (and lowest calorie). i try to stay away from mayo personally (just fat & extra calories). baked is better than fried, of course, because frying means oil. if you must fry something in a pan, use olive oil. if you want to sautee something or cook it in a pan on…

i was using it for 2weeks or so before i knew there was a site; i forgot my phone at home one day and needed to log food so i went online at work (dont have internet at home).

i hope i look as amazing as u at my goal weight!

i normally dont post on these or even look at them, but WOW! Thats alot of weight for the time frame! Great dedication!! I just hit my 7month anniversary on here and Im no where near either of your numbers. very impressed!

the fact that ive been over weight my entire life and being tired of it. been here 7months without going over my bmr, not going to start now just to get back to where i started!!

well ive never tried ww, this is all ive really ever tried, and its so easy. first thing ive been commited to longer than a couple weeks; just hit my 7month anniversary on here last week; ive logged in everyday since march 6th.. not just logged in, but logged every bite of food, good or bad. :-) just stick with it, even…

first off, diet aids/appetite suppressors, etc do not work for you in the long run; everyone ive ever met or talked to about them has gained the weight back, so count it as a blessing that u cant use them. i could eat all day long; im always hungry; which is why i put on an extra 150lbs over what i should weigh... its just…

im not sure why it matters if others support u or not. now if he's, say, demanding that you dont work out and telling u ur not allowed to eat healthy or something, thats one thing, but if he isnt jumping up and down congradulating u, i dont see the problem. he'll notice when you done..when u first start to lose people dont…

not all diet plans follow the eating back excercise calories.

i dont worry if im under carbs, etc. and im usually way under on fat and over on protein.. and ive lost my recommended weight loss (2lbs a week) for 6 and a half months or so; so its really not beneficial to me to pay attention to things other than sodium & calories. id have a plain baked potatoe as a snack (season with…

i only count water as water... even if something should be considered a water beverage instead of a standard thing, its better just to drink your normal water plus the water beverage to get extra water in your system, instead of wondering if u got enough. you get water form fruits, veggies, rice, noodles, and all sorts of…

i think weight loss will make me happier; but i dont expect that i will ever be happy with how i look because even after i get to losing the 145lbs, ill have excess skin and then be horrified of my body in a different sense... will i be happy after skin removal surgery, breast lift, etc... i think so. ive always thought i…

i didnt look like i was losing until 30lbs in; all though i had/have much more to lose. its very common.

are you drinking enough water? at least half of your body weight in ounces a day; plus extra if u consume any caffeine, go over or near filling sodium, or excercise...this will help with bloating and the mass weight gains, as well as helping with hunger. eat and eat and eat something like celery or spinach or something…

incorporate in some higher calorie items; like on the salad u could put some nuts or cheese on it, or the sandwich (not sure what kind u r having) have cheese, or make it a peanut butter sandwhich... if its a day ur low cal, dont eat carrots as ur snack eat the nuts instead.... doing something as simple as adding in a cup…

well, i guess this isnt exactly a first date story, but it all began at the first date, so... Went out with this guy I had met over Myspace; it was during a big snow storm in our town, so we walked to the resturant (he said he was stuck in his driveway, etc--there was several feet of snow). He asked me if I could cover the…

I was about 290 when I wrote down my weight as 250, and went up to 325 with it saying 250. Now I weigh 249, wahoo

Always crack ur eggs in a seperate bowl, I've come across bad eggs, and a story from my best childhood friend about they cracked open an egg and there was a dead, half grown baby chick inside..never came across a red one before though :-/

Im droppin out of the competition, sorry guys. I keep not being able to physically do challenges (couldn't do stairs because of the 25miles the week before and I was only able to get to 18miles with extreme physical pushing myself and taking pain pills to try to get there), did all the burpees week but then couldnt do last…

You do realize that the last 30lbs u have to lose r the hardest to lose, don't u? Large people lose alot faster than smaller people, and it took me 4months to lose 45lbs (started at weighing 313). For someone who only has 45lbs to lose, they generally lose 5 to 8lbs a month... and considering u have 2months to not only…
