Speaking from the point of a newbie, I eat everything and anything I want - I have FORCED myself to have willpower and self-control. But from reading this thread, I see that not everyone can do that. Personally, if I told myself 24 days ago that there was forbidden foods that I couldn't eat until I lost 150 pounds, I would…

Well I've only been at this for 24 days, but I decided to have a "Yummy Meal" every week - I log it as a yummy meal and ball park the calories (last week was a pound of wings and fries and ice cream lol). I most definitely will NOT deprive myself of those super high cal delicious foods because that's not a realistic goal…

You're my twin!!! Well, close lol.. 27 Female 5'2" and a bit SW 293 CW 280 (weigh in is in a few mins) UGW 130-140 ish....not totally sure and will reevaluate lol I started 24 days ago :)

You're awesome!!!! :) :) :)

Hey everyone :) I started 23 days ago weighing in at 293 pounds. I love having friends that are really REALLY into it with similar goals :) Sending request now :)

Yeah.....not sure what crisp means... Right now (on an ideal day), I do 30 mins of a hill interval on the treadmill, 30 minutes of to something that looks like an elliptical but can be like a stepper too (don't know what it's called), and then 30 minutes doing various exercises on the mat (lunges, core exercises, etc). I…

THIS! Love it! And you need to do this for yourself....not to please others. You can do it! Maybe not as fast as you want, but you've already received great info in this thread :) Use it!

LOL - sorry, my word. He said "crisp"....

Well right now my workouts feel highly intense to me lol, but good to know that I wasn't wasting my time! Thanks :)

Someone very close to me switched to Zoloft and gained just over 60 pounds in about 7 months. They switched after that!!

You've done amazing! And I'm sure your goal is realistic - don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Holy! You look amazing! Love the glasses btw :)

VICTORIA'S SECRET!!! Seriously though.....I want to buy something sexy from there! There's obviously other things, fitting comfortably in seats, not shying away from cameras, joining a volleyball team, etc. Also, and most importantly, I want a healthy body before I get preggers....well, SO I can get preggers :)

You look amazing!!!! Great job!

Wow! Amazing!!!

I weigh the same day, same time every week -- before I shower or eat and naked :)

116 pounds lost!!???!!!!?!?! I think everyone would consider you successful! Wow! Amazing :) That's all I wanted to say lol :)

Hi! Sent you a friend request :)

I totally see a difference!!! Wow! Great job!

Well - speaking as an 18-day-old newbie to MFP, I thought the thread was hilarious and very good for people who cannot function when they get criticized or *shocker* someone disagrees with them in cyberspace. I love reading through the forums, and typically when there's a controversial post, I'll happily munch on my…

Huge shopping spree, vacation, and photo shoot with hubby :) I'm going all out lol!

I jumped in with both feet - started logging my food and going for walks every other day....now I'm 16 days in and I'm going to the gym (3 day streak! Yahoo!). For me, I need to exercise so I have more calories to eat lol. I log everything, eat everything (as long as I have calories for it), and friended people on MFP who…

Congrats on your loss!!!! I'm in Ontario too :)

Awesome! Congrats :)

This.

Thanks :)

I just started 15 days ago and have no problem eating my calories, but that's just me.....I love food....probably why I got to 293 pounds! But I have kept full fat things in my new lifestyle....cheese, whole eggs, real butter, and evoo....mmmmmm....yummy! But to each their own!

HOLY CRAP!!!! You look amazing!!! And congrats on being preggers :)

I started on MFP 14 days ago and then BAM! My TOM came 8 days early! Gr! So, it changed for me, but came earlier....

LOL!!!!!!!!!
