I don't think there is anything wrong with 1200 calories a day, it sounds like you are eating your exercise calories on days you do exercise, so that's great. First take a look at the types of foods you're eating. Choosing whole foods high in protein to keep you feelin full. If you are eating a lot of 'diet' foods/empty…

Thanks everyone!!!

I can't buy all the clothes that I like/look good on me, because most of them do! Lol At 100 pounds overweight I only shopped when I needed clothes and always had to buy what FIT and convince myself it looked ok or wasn't 'that bad'. Now I actually have choices and it's fun! Crazy and a little overwhelming sometimes :)…

Um. Ok. Even I my worst day, I look nothing like I did 100 pounds heavier, but thanks. Not sure what your problem is, but you didn't have to respond to my post if you didn't like it!

Here's mine! MFP changed my life!

Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate them. When I saw them and held them, I just kept thinking: this makes it real. It's visual and something concrete. I think about how he felt with each one he earned. How proud and determined to earn another. And I think how every day he was surrounded by temptation. Everyday. From…

AMAZING!!!! Congratulations!!

Thank you. And really, regarding the quote. All I could write to sum up this: i had hit rock bottom emotionally. I was so unhappy with myself and I knew that I really had to lose weight. Like so many of us, I had tried so many times before. I decided to have a heart to heart with my DH and I cried (and cried and cried)…

Yes. I get it. My grandfather was an alcoholic who had been sober through AA for 39 YEARS. In AA they give them a medallion for each year of sobriety. When he passed away last year we found them all, he treasured them greatly: Concrete proof of his daily struggles for 39 years. But it was these I found, he must have got…

Please tell me more about pizza fries!!! Must.have. I love, love, love pizza and have zero self control when we go to my favorite pizza place. Craving healthy food is one thing, if you don't want it, don't eat it everyone had given great suggestions. Please don't confuse lean cuisine for healthy! It might get you through a…

Thank you! Our first time to an all-inclusive we went to the Excellence Punta Cana. It was amazing! I can't wait to go back! http://www.excellence-resorts.com/caribbean-and-mexico-destinations/excellence-punta-cana?gclid=CI_B9OrUib4CFSsQ7Aod1hYADg

Thanks and Congrats to you too!

OH NO! no full bikini shots (I cropped out the ugly bits, lol) and for the record I wore the "mom skirt" with it, lol. These thighs will NEVER see the light of day! LOL Thanks everyone for the kind words. I felt like a million bucks in my sundresses, but then I put on my fat midwestern too tight jeans (all inclusive,…

Thanks! I did crop out the ugly parts, lol :)

Thank you! And bumping because this thread is awesome!

Pretty much whenever I have freshy cleaned pants and hold them up I kind of get a mental panic that I won't be able to get them on because they look SO small (I am finally in a 10 - I can't even imagine what these 4s look like you guys speak of! LOL) someone brought in some pastries to work the other day. I usually avoid…

They are just jealous because you have figured out how to balance food you love and weight loss!
-
I love how the first response is ALWAYS to eat more. So she's not losing because she is eating too little AND eating more than she thinks so she needs a food scale?? Lol Anyway...most probable you aren't losing because you are eating more than you think, I'd go with the advice of the scale. Do you have 'free days"? If so…

Inspired me to make my own. My boys are MY reason

This one choked me up. So true!!

I've been overweight my whole life. MFP is the only thing that ever woked for me, been on here since 2011. And I've tried it all: Jenny Craig, nutri system, WW, slimfast, body for life, starvation, you name it! I focused on my food first and gradually incorporated exercise. It really is all about the deficit, how you go…

Sorry reread your original post. 1 pound lost last week and 1 pound gained this week??? Really, that is no reason to freak out. Frustrating, yes? But really in the great scheme of things this is nothing. Though formula for weightloss makes sense mathematically, weightloss is not linear . Meaning just because number wise…
-
I closed my diary too. I log for no one but myself. As someone overweight my whole life, I'm very self conscious about others watching what I eat. All it took was a few well meaning comments about how I should sub grilled chicken instead of my chicken mcnuggets, try to eat more veggies, etc. First I found myself first…

You don't say how much weight over how long of a time span? A steady gain? Up a pound this week? Up a pound today from yesterday? Big difference it what it could be. Weight fluctuates due to water retention and it is completely normal. If you are weighing yourself daily, stop - you'll drive yourself nuts. If you are…

Believe me, its totally an optical illusion, lol (white stripes on the side of the dress), but thanks! :)

Even I can't believe these are both me!

Thank you!
