I've definitely had one of those weeks especially these last 3 days where I've eaten fatty foods that I know I'm going to pay for. I went a little can't do this anymore when I hit my plateau at 240 and 20 pounds later I want to get below 200 which I haven't been since I was 12 and yet I had a complete I'm tired of the work…

You have to be around 10-11 pounds from a healthy BMI to take it. I've used it and if you are already below the target fat range with your diet then it won't provide a benefit which is the case for what I'm doing now but if you are over the target it will help but will also have more side effects.

I bring my own food to the family get togethers I go to but when it comes to an event where I don't know the majority really well or special events like my cousins wedding coming up I'm just going to eat before I go and after I come back. I think if you are sure they won't mind or that it won't be embarrassing do what you…

Spend at least a month tracking food and steps per day as well as writing down reasons for eating the food and fluctuations in energy level then work on the issues and make a plan that uses your strengths and lowers the risk of running into the triggers.

My family ~ I'm not the only family member who needs to shed pounds and they don't cook lightly at family get togethers which are generally stressful anyways. I've decided I'm going to bring my healthy stuff with me next time..:happy: I bet they are going to love seeing me do that too...:laugh:

I take an extra bath or shower and try to stay away from scale and tape measures!

1) Eat my foods on time everyday 2) Exercise enough to get my steps in 3) Log my foods and exercises everyday

I'm 5'1" and for a healthy BMI it gave me a weight between 118-132 but another calculation gave me a weight of 111-122 for a large framed person.

Vanilla Almond Crunch Cereal and any of my fruits (watermelon, strawberries, blueberries, bananas and the list goes on)

I understand how that feels I lost 51 pounds and I had tell my family I had lost it for them to notice then out of no where I drop another 15 pounds and everyone starts noticing. The truth is I only notice the difference because of the scale, my clothes and my tape measurement. I guess if I look really closely I can tell a…

I'm doing low carb right now but I'm eating six meals a day and I take a caffeine pill between 10 and 11 to get me through my workouts and I intend to add more carbs back as I get smaller (healthy ones though) because I'll have less fuel to burn from extra fat. If you decide to take a caffeine pill, I'd suggest trying one…

Beginning weight of challenge - 240 Current Weight - 240 Goal Weight - 132 (between 200-210 by end of summer) Weight/Loss Gain - 0

I can safely say that when I started gaining weight it was a mixture of poor diet by learning the habits which are common to my mostly plus size family and poor genes but food also become something to reward myself with, to deal with problems and just something to keep busy when bored. I know I had the smarts to figure out…

Luckily I haven't needed to buy I had some old clothes going down to 26W then I have a skip unitl 20W then I have a skip down to 16W (in pants only though) so until I get below 14W I won't have to buy any. I am going to have to see if I can borrow a pair of 18, 22 & 24W pants from either my sister or mom that I can wear…

I'm in!!! :smile:

I don't eat past 9PM but most of the time I'm done with my last meal by 8:30PM

Things that make me happy... My niece and nephew Music Animals particularly dogs 6-8 Hours of Sleep Caffeine Stars The smell/feel of the air about an hour after a strong rainfall Art (not the kind I draw though :tongue: ) Books Walking

I started MFP the same time I decided to start writing everything down in my journal to see actual calories burned and unfortunately came into the reality that because of my stride length even though I was getting over 2000 steps that they didn't actually equal 1 mile. So, I've decided to spend the next few weeks working…

I'm new here and I have 108 pounds to lose. I started losing weight back in October 2007: I weighed 306lbs when I started. I weighed in on April 27, 2008 at 240 My Goal is 132lb. I joined MFP a few days ago. I'd like to join but is it okay if I list measurements instead of pounds. I'm trying to build muscle for the next…

I completely understand this problem! Almost every slip I've had in my diet has been due to family gatherings. Why was I born to a family of such amazing cooks!!! :tongue:

Well, you can do one of two things splurge on a small one or don't watch TV. The ad people are evil :devil: they want us all to be overweight and unhealthy and to make them very rich in process...:tongue:

Thank you. I'll definitely need support if I'm determined to stay on the track I've plotted out for the next 23 weeks. I'm hoping by then I can start to lower my pounds to lose per week goal.:happy:

I thought I would introduce myself I'm joining up after slightly over 6 months of losing weight. I've already lost 66 pounds and I have 108 pounds to go. I've gotten now where I got some energy left over after exercising and I thought it might help to go to a weight loss community on the net that also has useful tools like…
