I might someday! Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Thank you so much!

Congrats to you! Do you see it yet?

Why thank you! It;s actually a dress. I bought it in NYC and it was so tight around my tummy roll. Last night it hung perfectly!

Thank you so much. I wish it were easier though!

I honestly don't know. I am too afraid of the numbers and don't keep track. I kind of wish I did for the ticker on this site....but it isn't worth it to me. I know I should be tracking to adjust calories but I exercise enough to make up for calories that I should stop eating due to the weight loss. PS I am constantly…

Thanks Jeff! Might never be a finish line though! Anyone else out there?

Did you lose 101 in one year? How did you do it? Did you ever slip up and over eat?

Thank you, you two. And Friends suck. I am glad you were able to get yourself out of the situation and didn't cave in.

Treats work for me besides for about 4-5 days a month. I am really good with self control, and letting myself have a treat makes the food special, in stead of either being a normal part of every day life, or a forbidden fruit I crave all day. On days I don't have calories for traditional treats such as a cookie or ice…

I have never really had an awful date, but I was REALLY hurt on one of my dates. A guy I had went out with a few times invited me out again, which seemed pretty normal. We spent the whole date laughing and enjoying ourselves. However, at the end he said he didn't want to see me again because he wanted someone he could be…

Can I touch?

Doesn't 1300 seem a little low for someone your weight? People talk about eating too little and it leading to slowing of metabolism? I wonder if this is possible, and if it may have happened to you. I have a feeling it has more to do with water retention, but I would still look into the number of calories you eat. Just…

I haven't weighed myself in 3 months! I don't like the whole number game, and I am worried that I will get discouraged. My clothing is bigger, so this site is working for me. I agree with those who say it depends on your mindset. Do what you can handle, and consider not taking the numbers personal. I know that is harder…

Thank you for the advice everyone. MFP HAS been working, so I guess I will continue until I see a plateau. As some of you may have seen I also posted a topic on carrying calories from one day to another. I exercise 4 times a week, but tend to eat more on the days I do NOT exercise. This was the reason I was looking at the…

I said a month actually. 199 Calories times 31 days is almost 2 pounds a MONTH. I don't believe anyone should really lose more than 2 lbs a week anyways. I have been doing fine losing weight on MFP, I am just not satisfied with the way I feel. I will give it more time and see how it goes before I switch to anything else. I…

Couch potato! I want to keep my exercise separate.

Again, not what I said or meant. I said someone you know, and grow attracted to. Not pity date and find out you love them. I am ONLY saying I am open (Well, not anymore) to whoever enters my life. Youre changing what I'm saying so you can argue against it. I never said date someone until you want to screw them, nor did I…

Yeah, we still caught YOU, mr puppy face.

I agree that you should try to fit in a 200 calorie snack that is high and protein and low is carbs. Nuts and seeds are great choices, and you can get them roasted and unsalted. Might even want to try Yogurt with nuts mixed in. I know you're over in your sugar, but unless youre diabetic that isnt the worst thing. Getting…

I wish you were the cat! We'd be best friends. I wonder if people are real, but am more interested in their personalities. There are many bullies on here. I wonder if they really are ****s, or just like the power of it online. As for putting photos, I like to show the "progress" but not in bikini pics....too much skin for…

Not what I said at all. Just said I would prefer not to be close minded. My fiance is overweight, and I am very attracted to him. But unlike your marriage, the more we grow together the more I want to have him!

It's from How I Met your Mother, I am not that original. Sorry to deceive!

I swim at least every second day, so that would work for me. Do you think I am so hungry on the non swimming days because the calories were burn on the previous day and not eaten?

Has anyone ever tried it though? I know it sounds stupid, but I don't want to put a delay on the whole weight loss thing. I start law school soon and I want to get most of the extra weight off by then. Living healthy is what my life is going to be like from now on, but swimming 4 times a week wont be possible when class…

You've never gotten to know someone and find them more attractive because of who they are? You're no more attracted to your husband now than when you met him? Walrus to mermaid does happen, and to an extent I find in every relationship it happens. The more knowledge, respect, experiences, commonalities, conversations ect.…

As long as you aren't over eating, you can eat at night, right? Why don't you plan on these hungers for after supper? Leave enough calories for it, weigh it out and have it all prepared for when you crave it. add water to the small snack and it will feel like a bigger snack.

Swimming works awfully well for me. I do lap and aqua aerobics that works a lot on the core. I do power walks too, but I don't like them as much as swimming.
