I love taking walks, horseback riding when possible, and dancing, so I would do those things regardless. I don't find most other forms of exercise enjoyable. Being inside of a gym is about the last place I want to be.

Two of my husband's family members made fun of my weight, right in front of my little children.

Margarita

I do on occasion, like when I plan to go to a Mexican restaurant that evening. I know I will want a serving of tortilla chips and an order of spinach quesadillas, so I will log it first thing in the morning so that I make sure to eat light throughout the day. I often pre-log a glass of red wine and a 100-150 calorie…

I just turned 29 a few days ago :)

That is fantastic!! Don't forget to keep it going and go out of your way to help a stranger the next chance you get. I believe the Lord uses people to do what needs to be done. He can use an Atheist for good purposes and that gives the Atheist an opportunity to be close to God and choose Him if she wants to.

I think a lot of those comments come from having a skewed sense of health. Since so many people are overweight, our idea of a normal body tends to actually be a slightly overweight body. That's why when we see thinner people who have a healthy bmi, so many people comment that the person looks starved.

You need to be eating more calories since you are on your feet so much. Readjust your activity level to active and get your calorie requirements. I started out doing the same nonsense you are doing and had difficulty eating the 1200 calories lol. I upped my calories. I found that when I eat more for.breakfast then I can…

Well, yesterday was my birthday so I let myself eat whatever I felt like. Today I'm going to be back on track. I don't need two days like that in a row!

Married 5 1/2 years and been through a lot in that time. My husband is truly my other half. I couldn't imagine my life without him. I am so proud to call him "husband". There is something so much more there when two become one in marriage, it is just so different than dating. Lots of people go into marriage thinking they…

I'm supposed to hit my GW in mid-July and planning to get pregnant around December so I have to figure out how to maintain the weight between those months and then gain healthily for a pregnancy.

You're better off waiting for the man who loves you so much he makes you his wife.

I'm vegetarian and don't really "like" vegetables. I mean really if I could eat a pizza instead of any veggie in the world, the pizza wins. There are veggies I like in comparison to others, but the point of eating them for me is the health benefits. My husband hates vegetables and only willingly eats them without a fight…

Like I tell my husband, nobody likes them, just choke it down.

The chocolate PB2 probably won't satisfy the craving for peanut butter. Go to the store (BEFORE you run out of your peanut butter stash) and look for the regular PB2. Also try peanut butter Cheerios, they are YUMMMMMMMMY. PB2 is so much better than I imagined. Coming in powder form I really thought I would have to choke it…

PB2 is good!

Still closed... Anyway, there are a few every month where I don't weigh myself because I naturally retain water at that time. I just keep plugging away and weigh myself when I am no longer bloated. Don't get hung up on a few days. If you make sure to weigh food and log correctly at a deficit you will lose.

I log everything, even a 2 calorie mint. I frequently throughout the day look over my macros to determine what I will eat for the next meal. I always go under my calories unless I've specifically decided not to that day. If you eat less calories than you burn, you WILL lose weight.

I used to frequently bake a batch of a dozen sugar cookies and eat most of them.in one sitting. Ugh. I mourned my Mom by eating cookies and cake.

Going from supermodel to 200 pounds overweight isn't even a tiny bit fair to him. Of course he is lashing out about it. That is a HUGE amount of weight to gain and expect him to be happy with. You have completely let yourself go. I would be mad too if I were him. I'm not trying to be mean, just honest.

So sad to read how many people think you should dump your husband and get a divorce because of him acting like a jerk. There is no need to throw him away over something so simple. Just lose weight. Men are visual as we all know, and he fell in love with a super-model thin woman. There is no reason you can't try to maintain…

I was eating 1200 but ended up losing 3 pounds per week doing that so I increased to 1400 calories recently. My diary is open if you want to add me.

That is a complete transformation

You can either start eating properly and change your lifestyle now or you can kiss your loved ones goodbye and welcome an early death.

I'm vegetarian too and am very focused on getting as much protein as I can. I feel an enormous difference when I get a good amount versus when I haven't. I have an open diary so add me if you'd like. I do eat fake meat every day and also lots of the special k stuff that has added protein.

In 12 weeks the most you should lose is 24 pounds

Shockingly great job!!

I've been vegetarian for most of my life but whenever I am with others I try my best not to be a burden. I will eat a roll of bread and nothing else happily if need be. Anyway, I often end up in the uncomfortable situation where there is literally nothing available that doesn't contain meat and they tell me to just pick…

I started around Jan 18th and have lost 30 so far!! I just increased my calories significantly so I'm hoping to lose 1 1/2 pounds per week now for 30 or so more pounds.

Way to go!!
