https://fitbit.com/user/4YRK24 Motivation needed! Feel free to add me if you need it too! :smile: (adding on MFP welcome also)

Will do! It's always great to have people to motivate you on here! :)

I'll send you a friend request as well. :) I've been logging since the end of October 2014, and I was logging a couple years before that but took a little hiatus. So if you have any questions or anything, feel free to ask, and I'll answer as best I can! I can totally relate to the clothes waiting in the closet comment!…

I'm playing around with the idea of trying a clean eating challenge (This 2-week detox plan by Buzzfeed.com) but I have 2 issues with it. (1) I wouldn't be able to get the people I live with (my significant other & his daughter) on board to try it with me & (2) I'm not really a fan of avocado or tomatoes, which this…

Trying a new recipe tonight: baked garlic parmesan chicken, with parmesan risotto and baby spring mix salad. :)

Everclear

Welcome back! I can totally relate, as I took a bit of a hiatus and just came back to the site about a week ago. As others have stated, there's plenty of supportive and motivating people on here! Feel free to add me if you need more, I try to be as supportive as possible! :)

Serene

I'm in the same boat, I just started trying to slim down too, and I'm kinda dreading those holidays coming up now! But I think my plan of action is to just make sure I'm taking smaller portions or maybe plan ahead on how much I can actually eat in order to stay under my limit. Though I'm also considering getting a good…

Same here, the more support, the better!! :) Although my goal is more than 30, but it's on the way there. I also just started back up with tracking my food intake/exercise, after a rather long break.

Same here, I'd love more [active] friends. I just came back to MFP after a bit of a hiatus, and now I think the friends I had have become inactive, so any activity would be great! I've been off and on for awhile though, keep losing the motivation to track every single thing, so any support is appreciated! :)

I've seen that in the stores and seen the commercial but have not tried it yet. Is it any good?! I've been thinking of possibly trying it out... (it's expensive though -.-)

I definitely can relate to what you're saying about counting calories being tedious and repetitive sometimes. I get that feeling too, and I admit, sometimes I've given into it and totally blew off logging what I ate that day. But keeping track of the calories really helps to put some perspective on what you're eating and…

I agree, burning off 2000 calories in a day is very difficult. The most I've managed to burn in a day is 472. But at the same time, I don't go to the gym or own any exercise equipment either, I mainly burn off calories using the Wii... boxing really gives me a great workout. I usually try not to plan to eat double the…

My goal is based on my height mainly. I'm 5'0" and slightly big-boned, so I'm aiming for 120 right now, then I'll see how I feel when I get there and see if I want to lose any more. I actually used MFP's BMI Tool also to help me decide my goal weight as well, and it tells me that my healthy range is 94.7-128. Like someone…

I'm drawn more to dark hair, not sure why, it's always been like that for me. Unless it's Mark Valley. Though he's more of a dirty blonde anyway. :happy:

I don't have a PS3 but I just went to playstation.com and searched their games for fitness and there ARE games for it. The most prominent one looked like it's Zumba Fitness. I'm not familiar with Zumba or anything but from the trailer, it looked like it was mainly some intense dancing workouts. :) So if that's what you…

Awesome, thank you all for the replies! =] I weighed myself this morning after my shower, before breakfast and after a trip to the bathroom, so I'll make a note to step on the scale before the shower next time.

I weigh myself every Sunday morning, then again in the middle of the week on Wednesday. I agree, checking in only once a week was too hard for me also, as that was my original plan, but I added in Wednesday so I could see more potential progress :)

Thanks to you both :) Added!

I have this problem also. It happens around 10-11pm and I'm going to start doing what people have mentioned, planning this meal with healthy, low cal snacks... I love celery and carrots so I'll probably start with that. But yeah, I don't think it's a problem unless you're choosing the wrong things to snack on. I didn't…

thank you for the welcome! :) And same back to you!!
