Oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, or pre made breakfast muffins are usually my go-to breakfasts. On the weekends I sometimes do some cereal.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!!

I have the same problem with constantly wanting to snack at work. I started chewing gum and it helps a lot. Just an option :) Good luck!

Lemon. Although nothing is good too. If you really like the butter, though, have some. One meal with butter isn't going to derail your whole journey!

Right now it's Glee Next is True Blood, and then maybe OITNB

Very inspirational! Thank you! *Bravo*

Oohh I love zucchini!

I wanted to add - I have let my father's passing open my eyes a lot. I know now why I have to take better care of my body. And I also know I need to really live life to the fullest because it can be cut short at any moment. :)

I'm sorry for your loss. I can completely understand. I was doing great in my weight loss journey and my dad passed away on April 23rd at age 55. I totally lost all motivation. I still haven't been able to 100% get back on track but I'm trying. I make sure I log everything even if I know I'm WAY over. I am just taking it…

I was just diagnosed with PCOS (although I'm positive I've had it for many many years, just never sought it out). Started on Metformin about 3 weeks ago. Side effects not too bad so far but no weight loss - probably because I haven't been eating right at all (soooo need to get back on track!). Anyway, if anything it has…

HUGS!! I'm sorry for your losses. I'm 31 (32 next month). I have 2 wonderful children but have been struggling to have a 3rd. Just diagnosed with PCOS and now hopefully on the right track to get pregnant. I started my weight loss journey in January of this year. I was doing GREAT, down 30 or more pounds, then BAM on April…

Looking forward to trying these!

Ours too. Class of 2000. :)

I know where you're coming from. I work at a Drs office and drug reps and home health agencies are always bringing us goodies. Everything from bagels to pastries to cookies/cakes to Starbucks. It is VERY hard to say no. I try to stay out of the staff room. When I do have to come face to face with it I try to remember all…

I'm going to give this a shot! I'm going to need a lot of encouragement because I love dairy!

This!

Way to go!!

Sweet potatoes!

I've never been diagnosed but have been suspicious. I am totally giggling over "cysters"... cute :) Add me, I'd love some friends to keep me motivated and encouraged!

Add me! I'm 31, mother of 2. I'm 5'7" and currently 250. Goal is 150. I too gained a lot of weight due to depression/antidepressants. I was 130 when I met my husband 12 years ago and weight has been a constant battle for at least 11 of those 12 years. I love encouraging and getting encouragement :) I started MFP about a…

This is me! I started with doing no exercise and lost 15 lbs in a month. I've since added in walking a few times a week, trying to work my way up because I get short winded quickly and have joing pain in the lower half of my body. That being said... I would suggest upper body exercises or core strengthening exercises. Get…

I wouldn't put it into the terms "I'm trying to lose weight, lose fat, etc..." rather IF anyone asks why you're not eating like you used to or you're exercising more just say "I'm trying to be healthier/make healthier choices." And notice I said IF. There's no reason to broadcast it to everyone. It's nobody's business…
