I used to weigh myself once a week, but found myself getting discouraged when I didn't see any progress. Now I weigh every two weeks and that is working out really well for me. I agree with everyone else. If your someone that don't mind the ups and downs, every day could be ideal, however if you tend to get upset when you…

Your story really saddens me. I really respect what you are doing, your such a wonderful daughter and your mom is very lucky to have you in her life. I agree with what some of the others said, your mom has to want to change for herself. Its sounds to me like its not that she doesn't want to change, but that she's possibly…

Thanks everyone. I will definitely look into trying your recommendations. Someone also told me to try powdered eggs, however I have no idea where to get them from.

I agree with Cindy. I've been on my journey for about 3 months and I am just now starting to see results(cloths fitting loosely, wearing smaller sizes, others taking notice of the weight I've lost). Keep doing what you're doing and you too will start to see the changes, just remember it takes time. Good Luck and I wish you…

Oh jamiet1968, I really want to see that one. I read the book and it was awesome. My last movie was Fruitvale Station, based off a true story. It was a real tearjerker, but hell I cry over Disney movie soooooo

People take encouragement differently. What can be genuine encouragement to one can be perceived as "making fun of" to another. As an obese person, I really care less what others at the gym think of me and the work I put out. In the end I am there for the benefit of myself and my health. Does that mean I don't like to be…

I have. I've told my co-workers I weigh less than what I actually do. Why?out of sheer embarrassment :ohwell:
-
Same here. I look in the mirror and say "hey, not bad". Then I see the me in pictures, and Im like "damn, am I really that big". I hate how I look in pics, so much so that when its a group pic I always hide behind other people. The good thing is Im working on a whole new perception of how I view myself. One day I will love…

Update: Last week was ok. I got in a lot of cardio and strength training, however with Mother's Day and my nephew birthday falling on the weekend I did a lot of extended eating. No change from last week to this week, so this week I plan to go at it harder than ever. SW: 272 CW: 265 GW: 259 Weigh-In Dates: 5/5 - 264 5/12 -…

Yes you will. What its doing is giving you back the calories you burned from your exercises, but you don't have to consume those calories, it's up to you. Most people say its a benefit to consume them or at least half of them.
-
You can definitely add me. I work in Human Resource so I know all to well what sitting at a desk can do especially when you have free range to snack all you want. For me I keep a bottle of water on my desk at all times and keep all my snacks hidden except for a pack of gum that I keep in my drawer, that way when I get that…

Looks wonderful. I will definitely be trying them. cant believe how low they are in calories....my kind of recipe :)

So far I have only lost 1 lb since I joined this challenge, but I'm not giving up just yet. With hard work and determination I will succeed on this. I'm gonna ride this bad baby til the end...............LoL

Well for me I would have to say chocolate was a big fave of mine. Now when I want chocolate instead of grabbing a candy bar I eat a Kashi Chocolate Almond Butter Cookie. One cookie is 130 cals, and only 7 g of sugar. They are delicious!!!
-
Awesome!!!!!! success stories like yours truly inspire me to keep doing what Im doing. I eventually hope to some day be able to post my own. Way To Go!!!!!!!!

I'm 5'3 and would like to get down to 150. Anyone on here feel free to add me. The more the merrier :smile:

Wow!!! First off your husband is a complete jerk(no offense). He needs to wake up a realize you are gaining weight because your baby is gaining weight. The baby inside you depends on you for nurture and nutrition, so you cant stop eating. Love yourself for who you are, because soon there will be a little one that's going…

Normal woman here, do not drink or smoke, have a temper that could bring down the devil(when mad of course). stretch marks: very much so....sigh(but after having 4 kids what the hell do you expect.....LoL) No cellulite yet(so that's a plus). Do not aspire to be a model...Love my curves, not to mention my behind too much.…

Im so hoping to see sum good news when I hit the scale tomorrow, but hey if not least I put my best foot forward, I I will continue to do so. I sure hope your feeling better and don't…

Another thing you could try is the chicken breast tenderloins instead, they're approx. 100-120 calories for 4 ozs.(which is usually about 2 pieces). They are just as filling and easier to pan fry in my opinion. I usually spray my pan with Pam and then cook them on medium heat about 10 minutes each side.
