Thanks guys! I will have to try some of your ideas! I guess I can cut back on some things to make it more healthy, and I'm sure I can get used to it that way! Maybe I'll only splurge on my birthday at my favorite restaurant, Margaritas!! Which happens to be this weekend! LOL So maybe that will curb my craving!!

Do you know the nutrition facts for this?? Sounds great!

Welcome! My bf started at about 330lbs, he's 6'2. He found this site about 2 months ago and has lost around 30lbs already! He finds it very helpful. I decided to start it as well, even though I dont have much to lose, I'm 5'2 and started this about 45 days ago, weighing 118. I'm down to 108.8. and probably do not really…

I think you just have to get used to not feeling hungry. I've been doing about 45 days now, & I still feel hungry sometimes! Drinking lots of water helps. For snacks I eat 1/2 cup of plain lowfat yogurt w/ frozen berries mixed in (they thaw over night), pretzels, but you have to look for the best ones as far as calories…

I have to agree w/ the Ruffles light! 15 chips for only 80 cal! They taste great!

If I'm right about this, I think that the less you weigh, the less your calories should be in order to lose weight. Now, I only weighed 116lbs when I started MFP, and it suggested that I eat 1200 cal a day. I've been sticking to the 1200 cals a day and have lost about 7 lbs! My BF is 6'2 and weighed 330lbs. His calories…

I agree! Only you know what your goal is and how bad you want it! Maybe buying a pair of shorts that are a couple sizes too small & putting them in a spot where you see them everyday! Try them on weekly until they fit! Also, start researching some low fat recipes that taste good & that you dont mind eating! My motivation…

I know that my boyfriend is 6'2 and started at 330lbs! MFP recommended around 2800 cal a day & he's much bigger then you are. He actually lowered it himself, first to 2300 then to 2100 and he's lost 30 lbs! He's 301 now. So I would stick by what they are telling you! He just made sure he took the time to find the really…

I have 3. A quarter sized ladybug near my hip, a dream catcher on my shoulder blade and a baseball sized sunflower w/ a tiny ladybug on a petal and "mom" on the inside, for my mom, whom I lost 4 yrs ago unexpectedly. I plan on getting my kids first and middle names on each wrist at some point.

Wow! You guys look great! Good for you! keep up the great work!

Whoopie Pies! I found this low fat recipe, and actually just finished making it for Easter! I added food coloring to the fluff for spring colors! We cant wait to try them! http://www.eatbetteramerica.com/recipes/desserts/chocolate/whoopie-pies.aspx

Im 5'2 & I'm 110 right now, & my goal is 103-105!

Me too. First thing in the morning, after I go to the bathroom. I was doing it daily, but I've switched to every other day or every 3 days, so I'll see more of a difference!

It is interesting, but if your sticking to a recommended calorie intake, like we do here, then how can it not work? If you exercise, then eat whatever you want, like donuts, then I could see where it wouldnt work. But if your doing both, then it should work!

I work in an elementary school in the behavior room. We try to give them ALOT of positives when they earn, in hopes that they will want that positive attention. Maybe trying small things that he can earn? We are also very consistent with them. If he has a behavior that you dont like, make sure you treat him the same way…

$15 a day sounds like a lot. My boyfriend pays $10 a month for Planet Fitness, which is where I use to go. Ive never seen where anyone laughed at or really even payed attention to anyone else as far making fun of them or anything. Maybe just picking a gym you'd like to attend and just doing a walk through, to see what…

Thats funny because my favorite new dessert, that I LOVE, is the Jello temptations French Silk Pie, 2 tbs of fat free cool whip and one low fat graham cracker, broken up. I mix it all together and thats my dessert every night! I love these ideas! Thanks for sharing!
-
Good luck!
-
Great list! Thanks for some new ideas!
-
I also liked how quick & easy it was to make! I was able to make it with my 19 month old clinging to me! LOL Very simple & everyone in the family liked it!

We just found a new one we are using! It is Pepperidge Farms light style with fiber, and only 40 calories a slice! They have a couple different kinds!

Could you be gaining muscle? I just started this 2 weeks ago & have lost 2 lbs. My BF started a month ago & has lost about 22 lbs., but he is a bigger guy. We really stick to the suggested calorie intake too.

Hi! My boyfriend and I are new to this too! So far we love it! I honestly dont have much to lose, only about 10 lbs. But my bf has at least 60 lbs to lose. We usually dont stick to anything, but he's been using this for 3 weeks and had lost about 20 lbs, This is only my 2nd week, and I've lost 2 lbs. Good luck!
