Why would anyone give nasty comments?? I don't mean to pry, I just don't understand what they would say. It's a great thing! Thankfully, I haven't experienced that. There aren't too many people I've told of my weight loss goals, but the people who do know are extremely supportive. MFP is by far the greatest, though.…

Thank you! I always thought that too..

Can you explain what it actually is/entails?

I fit all those :) Feel free to add me!

That's AWESOME! I still struggle with that.

I splurged for an entire WEEKEND. I went on vacation and decided I was going to eat/drink what I wanted. I was a little scared to get on the scale on monday, but i ended up staying exactly where I was! I think the point is that one day, or even two, isn't going to kill you. It's really not going to change much.

I started out that way too, but trust me your endurance increases quickly! in a few weeks you'll be amazed at the things you can do! as far as the cravings go, those never go away :-/

Same height and similar goals! Add me if you like

You're right, there isn't much of a difference in terms of calories. The thing is, wheat bread is better for you in terms of whole grain, sugars, etc.

From what you said, it doesn't sound like you're counting your calories. That's huge. Before I got onto this site, I was working out a lot and "watching what I ate", which I thought was enough, but I ended up not losing anything. Once you put it on paper(so to speak), it seems the magic starts to happen.

I do the elliptical machine(cardio) for about 30 minutes, then I do a combination of planks and weights for 20ish more minutes. Doesn't take too long and burns a good amount of calories! Zumba classes are also fun.

I'm looking to lose about 30 lbs as well! Add me if you like :)

WOW!! I'm amazed at your courage, but also extremely confident that you can TOTALLY do it on your own!!

I like mixing yogurt and granola. Not exactly low-cal but very filling! Also, Quaker quakes rice snacks are really good and hold me over for a couple hours. And Chewy bars! 90-100 cals and good for at least an hour.

I very much understand how much it sucks to be with a guy and catch him glancing at another woman. HOWEVER, it has nothing to do with you. It is in no way an indicator of your status to him/your beauty/your weight/etc. Men are going to look at other women, period. It's kind of just human nature. Even I check out other…

I LOVE this thread! So funny, and so glad to see all these people struggling to count calories and still keep their drinking habits (sucks, doesn't it?) haha. I tried Zumba for the first time this morning, and I would say your description is PERFECT for what I looked like! I was only mildly comforted by the fact that…

Of course you're going to lose weight FAST if you don't eat much, but it's extremely unhealthy. And as soon as you eat a little more, you gain it right back. Losing weight by exercising and eating enough is slower, but it's more effective and long-lasting.

Yeah I would agree that 20 lbs/month is A LOT! A lot of people are on 1200 calories/day. Remember that doesn't include calories your burn with exercise. So exercising will allow you to eat more.

Add me if you like :)

Yes. When I started my weight loss journey, I started going to the gym ~6 days/week, when I previously didn't exercise at all. I kept this up for about a month and a half, thinking it had to do SOMETHING for me. Well, it did: I gained 5 pounds. That's what got me to this website, and in 2 weeks i've lost about 3-4 pounds.…

HAHAHAHA totally made me laugh. and sadly, it sounds good :-/ anyways, seeing as what kinds of food/how much food makes up the 1,700 calories I eat now, I was EASILY eating 3,000-4,000 calories per day. it was a scary realization when I started logging calories on here!

:laugh: such a great idea..

AGREE with the woman above saying to do what feels comfortable to you. Those charts are BS, in my opinion. It says i'm supposed to be around 125 lbs, at 5'4", but I can honestly say I haven't been that small since middle school. And I HONESTLY think it would look horrible on me now. I'm shooting for around 150-155, even…

You can add me if you like!

Hi! I'm 20, no children, but still looking to lose weight! Add me if you like

Hi ali! I'm tiana and I'm 20 years old. I'd love to be weight loss pals! Friend me if you like :)

Hello! I'm 20 and love softball as well :) Friend me if you'd like

I haven't liked how i've looked for many years. I'd made a zillion half-assed attempts at losing weight(diet/work out for a week or two), but my laziness always won out. So I kept gaining more weight. It got to the point where I was no longer comfortable in jeans, but even THAT didn't do it for me. It was when I found…

I want in if it isn't too late! SW: 196

This thread is hilarious! I haven't noticed any difference (it's only been a couple weeks) but i'll just say it's NOT needed!
