Welcome! We're all here for you! However, I've gotta tell ya that losing weight weight fast and it being healthy is like oil and water. Slow weight loss (2 lbs a week max lost, yes it can vary and sometimes be more especially in the beginning) is better on your body and it'll stay off longer! Eat fresh clean foods,…

By quitting, you are taking a huge risk of health complications, a short lifespan, and major depression. YOU ARE WORTH IT, YOU DESERVE A LIFE OF HAPPINESS WITH YOUR FAMILY!!! This journey isn't for the light hearted...you are going to have gains, indulge too much, but it's how you move forward after that counts!! Please…

I like this...Scale vacation...I should do this soon!:)

There is a trend here...I know it's hard and I was the SAME way. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I needed to eat more to lose more. However your body needs that fuel especially if you're working out 30-90 minutes a day! That's a long time girl! I hope this helps! God bless:)

Amazing!! I had a similar victory going out to dinner too! Instead of a burger or ordering a cheesey loaded greasy chicken quesadilla, I order steak, mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli! I asked the waitress for have the chef cut everything in half and put it in a doggie bag! First time I did that but I'm so happy I did…

Welcome! You've come to the perfect place!! Stay positive, pick yourself back up when you fall down, and NEVER give up! God bless:)

GUM! I seriously have 5 different flavors on my coffee table! Kind of crazy, I know! haha That and drinking LOTS of water or tea. Or if I feel I'm being tempted too much at night I'll go to my room and slip into bed earlier than usual :).

love all of that!:)

started at 260! you can totally do it girl:)

I want to be 140-145 as well!!:)

Agreed. I've attempted to lose weight about SO many times but for some reason in the past 2 months, something in me clicked. I'm not saying I don't have bad days or indulge more than I should at times but 9.99 out of 10 at the end of the day I am focused on the goal, which is being a healthy me! Write down a pros and cons…

I am now realizing the importance of eating your exercise calories back!! It's SO important...Try doing that for a couple weeks. Your body needs that fuel to function normally. See your body as a wood burning stove...The more you use the stove, the more wood you need to give it because it needs the extra fuel! Translation…

Feel the moment, breathe it in!! You DID THIS and there are many more great victories to come!!:):):) God bless

I'm from MI and I must say that we've got some of the best beers around!! I'm not a huge drinker but I do enjoy a solid beer here and there. However, relating to posts above I haven't drank anything "good" since I've been on MFP. I only drink light beers from time to time and they're definitely not as tasty as the real…

Drinking tons of water!! Eating high protein portioned out meals so I'm not grazing at the snack table, exercising everyday, talking and enjoying the people around me instead of focusing on the food!

Great job girl, I'm so proud of you!! Just think what the next 30 days will bring :):):)

Add me too!! I'm here for you if you want the encouragement!!:) God bless

Although sometimes we might indulge in a little something, we can see the repercussions, sodium, a couple days afterwards. Sodium plays a HUGE role in water retention which leads to temporary weight gain. Also, try to eat at least 1200 plus (depending on what amount you're comfortable with) your exercise calories!! Unless…

See your body as a wood burning stove...The more (healthy, clean calories) wood you give it, the more it burns!! The more you use the stove to…

Have an honest conversation with him about trying to eat healthier, he'll totally respect that!! You don't want to fast forward 5 months and come on this forum and say, "I've gained 25 pounds in 5 months!!" Gaining that love weight happens, we've all been there...I've been there! However, look out for yourself and your…

I run and do the 30 DS. I've been seeing a HUGE difference!:)

Well let's put it this way...When I don't track what I eat, I gain weight.:/ My dad who is an ultrarunner and my mom completed her first marathon this year told me something as we were discussing healthy lifestyles...They told me although they are in the best shape of their lives, they have to constantly be aware of what…

Walking or running on a daily basis will definitely slim your thighs down!:) That or have you tried the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred?? I'm only on day 10 and I've lost a half an inch per thigh!:) I hope this helps! God bless:)
