:flowerforyou: I have 100+ lbs to lose too. I was a size 16 before I met my fiance in 2010 and then he had something I didn't have -- a car. We started driving everywhere and I got comfortable and lazy. I now wear a size 24 or 26. We can do this!! Anyone can add me!

First, check the batteries, then lay your scale on a flat surface. Find something in your house that you know weighs a certain amount - for example, a 5 lb bag of dog food, etc. Put that on the scale and see if it's accurate or not. If it's accurate then congratulations!

Yep. I don't have a gym membership and I'm losing. My grandmother at one point when I was a child lost over 70 lbs. She never set foot in a gym. She loved her Richard Simmons VHS's and she would walk whenever she could. She would walk to a nearby high school that would have a track and would run a few miles while I played…

Without knowing your stats (height/weight/gender) and your calorie goal and how much you're normally eating, we can only speculate. Your progress on your profile says you have 12 lbs to go. I can only guess (again, just a guess) that you're eating way too little or not enough protein/fiber/etc.

I'm not sure if this is 100% healthy but: (Okay, you can stop drooling.) Nutrition info: https://www.kashi.com/our-foods/snack-bars/kashi-chewy-granola-bars-chocolate-almond-sea-salt-with-chia I'm actually eating one right now. >.> 1 bar is all I need and I don't snack for the entire day.

I would invest $20 and get a food scale. You'd be surprised when I took out my usual "1 cup peanut butter" and I put it on the food scale exactly how wrong I was about what 1 cup actually is.

I weigh in every Sunday morning, right after I wake up. If I know I had a good week I get excited to weigh in. If I know I had a bad week, I'm not *as* excited to weigh in but I still do it. Sometimes I gain a little, sometimes I lose just a half pound. I get more shocked than anything.

I had one FR when I first joined who constantly sent me messages. I mostly go on MFP via my phone, but I have 0 idea how to message on my phone so I would only see them when I checked in the evening. The person got so mad that I wasn't responding to them that they started threatening me!

http://heidipowell.net/8180/powell-pack-popsicles/ This is my favorite dessert when I need to have something sweet. What you’ll need: Each recipe makes 8 Popsicles - 2 cups coconut water - 2 cups fruit - Popsicle molds What you’ll do: - Cut up your fruit into small pieces - Place fruit in the Popsicle molds to about ¾ full…

Thank you very much for all the responses. Addressing a couple things: - I cook when I am able to, and when I do cook, I try to cook as healthy as possible and substitute fattening ingredients for better ingredients. Other times, his father wants to cook (he is mostly disabled and not working, so if he wants to cook,…

Um, yes yes yes. If there's still room/a waitlist, I want to be in the amazing, 1 of a kind, Pottermore + every other quiz I've taken house... Hufflepuff!

My fiance drove from Michigan to Connecticut to meet me. I was scared out of my wits. The day after he arrived (he arrived at 1am), we went out to lunch at my favorite restaurant and then walked the mall. He went into Build a Bear with me and he stuffed and made a rabbit named Ikowe (after his World of Warcraft character…

You could ask 5 different people the same question and I'm pretty sure you'll get 5 different answers. Me personally, I have a light breakfast (300 calories), a medium lunch (500) calories and whatever remains is my dinner/snacks. Haven't had an issue yet. There are some days where I wake up late (10am late) and I'm just…

Exactly what I thought of when I read this. Get a new doctor, ASAP.

Combination of me being a loner/hermit as a child and my grandmother's (who had custody of me) abusive now ex-husband who refused to let me go outside or have friends. My friends became my cat and my food.

If I have no time (which is the case 90% of the time): - Kashi Toasted Berry Cereal, 3/4 cup (51 g) - Skim milk, 3/4 cup The Kashi cereal is the best darn cereal I've ever had. Try it if you can, I promise you won't be disappointed. If I have the time: - 2 eggs - 1 cup diced onions - 1 cup peppers (green, red, yellow mix)…

I was at McDonalds with my fiance and I was eating my usual fish sandwich with medium fries and a diet Coke. A woman walked in... Well, she had to walk into the door sideways holding onto her husband/boyfriend/male companion, who was also large. She huffed and puffed and hobbled up to the counter and ordered two 20 piece…

I love rice. Why not try brown rice instead of white?

Hi! I'm 23 and I have 100+ lbs to lose too. We can do this together. :)

My fiance is a true cheese stick fiend... We always have them in the house and he has them whenever he sees them on any menu. We always joke that they'll be at our wedding - but sometimes I think it's not just a joke!

My nail. I unceremoniously play with my fingernail when I'm deep in thought, reading or watching something. -_-

Where did you get yours? I'm having trouble finding some. I think I'm just looking in the wrong place.

I completely understand where you're coming from. When I was in high school, money was so tight and it got to the point that our house was foreclosed and I was living with my mom and cat in her car for a while. Let me share a few tips I've gathered over the years. Feel free to message me or add me as well. :) I'll always…
