Thanks for all the feedback. I usually do weigh my food and measure everything out. I measure it all uncooked and cut off what I don't think will add in. I'm not always on point with that but I'd wager I am about 8 times out of 10. The other times I am probably right around there. I've gotten to the point where I can…

1. Cell phone 2. Bag o facial stuff - moisturizer, toner whatevs 3. TV remote 4. pillows 5. blanket

That is a tough one - but maybe work a way to get it within your calorie goals for the day. Maybe work out a little harder to have more wiggle room? Family can be rough when you are the only one who is concentrating on their health. Other than that - just don't go. Or meet up with them afterwards?

Its kind of personal and I'm not doing it for anyone other than myself so I don't really make it public. If someone asks, I let them know. But I don't open with "Hi, I'm Brandy and I'm changing my lifestyle. Nice to meet you." People see the difference and ask. I say I am just watching what I eat and being more active.…

I'm on Day 6 and I can not wait to be done with today's workout so I can have my off day tomorrow! I will say that I am pretty overweight and it is super hard. However, its all about pushing yourself and doing everything the best you can. I swear that after the first couple days I thought I was going to be sick but it is…

feel free to add!!!!

Just being silly on the way to my grandparents house for Christmas. I love those sunglasses! I probably should up date it soon... Maybe...

always Channing Tatum (even before Magic Mike)

I eat around there most days - but some go over of course. I have lost 20lbs, but I have a lot to lose.

Cajun turkey sandwich with a little bit of mayo on 12 grain bread (not the most low cal but yum) and half a granny smith apple! So derish!

Virginia Beach area!!!

Call me whenever...

I agree with what everyone is saying - it won't happen overnight. You know how you are. So make it work for you. For instance, I know that if I want something and don't let myself have it (in moderation) then I will have a binge and put myself wayyy off track. So I indulge in moderation. This is a life change; not a diet!…

Every other day or every third day. I update my MFP weight once a week. I just have a love/hate relationship with the scale. But it's not too bad - I have lost 5 lbs this week!

I work in politics - DO NOT GET ME STARTED!

That aviator sunglasses are bad *kitten*?

I have a real dog - but I don't walk him as much as I walk. He is a mini dauschaund and his little legs would wear out!

I'm in Hampton Roads. Just moved to Suffolk -- was in Virginia Beach for 4 years before that (where I grew up). Was in Arlington/Fairfax for college and about 4 years after. LOVE WILLIAMSBURG. I worked there last cycle. Will be there tomorrow.

I do the vanilla greek yogurt with granola. Usually I have some fruit on the side. Such a yummy breakfast!

Single, its not the end of the world. :)

Is it different if you aren't on metformin and don't have problems with insulin? I have suffered very long periods but have never had any problems with cramps, mood swings or excess facial hair. I have been like this since at least I was about 17. I was perscribed a bcp then but it had a bad effect, scared the crap out of…

I agree. I also hate when people tell me how great I look. It just makes me that much more aware of how I used to look. And I still have a long way to go - but I don't know if I will ever be happy.

I started day one today, too! I will be doing day two tomorrow. So excited!

I want to do it too - feel free to add me! However, I can't start until Thursday.

I used to go on the treadmill for 30 mins then the bike for 30-40 mins then do some weights (alternate between arms, legs and abs) and then I walk a mile. It was great. Now I am able to do the stairmaster for an hour and then weights and then a mile for cool down. I have really upped my burned calories with the stairmaster.

I just listen to all three of Taylor Swift's three cds. Lately though, I have been watching tv on the stairstepper. So I alternate. :)

Or do like I do - make it at home!!! Check out my food diary for today. Pizza is my biggest weakness and its yummier and I know how much goes in to it. Also, so easy!

Good job! I know how it feels being an emotional eater. GUILTY!!! I say do what you want to do and then tomorrow start all over again with the program. Oh and he sucks. You're better off without him and sounds like you know it. You'll find someone wonderful when the time is right!!!
