waving hi back..

Pam, from true blood...

Thank you all so much for the encouragement and such kind words. I was 10 seconds away from losing my *kitten* and a serious binge. However, I went for an amazing walk with Bassnectar in my ears and determination in my heart. I tracked everything I ate, EVERYTHING! I feel so much better <3 :)

Im right behind you at 247 now(yay)! I had trouble losing weight on 1200. I counted every calorie meticulously and exercised daily. My issue was that I needed to eat more. I dropped my goal to 1.5 lbs per week which allowed me 1450 calories per day. I actually eat about 1500-1560 per day but I also exercise, burning…

You took the first step of joining MFP! Congrats! request sent!

I am fun sized(5'1) @ 249 today! yay I walk as fast as I can possibly go, with out breaking into a run, lol. I have 2 different inclines in my neighborhood that are crossed over 4x to complete the 2 miles...... Trying to build into that run though!

I think I set it up right yesterday finally... I set up to lose 1.5 lb per week, and left my macros at the preset MFP setting. I was given a calorie goal of 1450. I weighed and measured as best I could( I'm starting to weigh all solids today, instead of using the cups! I used cups last night though) I tracked that I ate…

I definitely appreciate you all posting and sharing insight. Its very easy to get defensive and I'm sorry about that! I just want to get these pounds off!!!! But yes! that this is something new- with the cups! I will begin to weigh vs, measure my food asap! Lesson learned, and thanks again!

I use healthstatus.com to cross reference my calories burned, always choosing the lower amount. I am also extremely meticulous when it comes to logging in my food as well as measuring and weighing. I don't pack my measuring cups, I always level them. I have a digi scale, that I will weigh my meats on, at least 3x to make…

Thank you! I have a scale and I rely on medical websites to track calories burned as best that I can. I cross reference with the machines and the site and choose the lower number. A week ago, I did notice that some of the seasonings that I cook with have calories that I wasn't calculating, like cinnamon!!!! I started…

I am a proud beauty school drop out due to this type of behavior. While attending a major cosmetology school, One day at lunch- a young lady looked at my lunch and said loud enough for at least a few people to hear, " no one in the world should be able to eat that much" I promptly packed away my lunch and left the break…

I used to bake. I was very good at it too! I used to take cupcakes and breads to share at my church and people would question if I actually baked for a living or would tell me that they saved up a days worth of carbs to enjoy one of my delicious treats. I don't do it as often anymore though.....Maybe I need to :/

Only for my lady, Sir!

totally naughty!

radiohead.....

In the words of Ida Mae from the movie ghost " you in danger girl!" or at least you will be if you fight for this dude. Any man that has respect for his self as well as women, would leave his current situation and take time to heal from it first- before moving on to a new situation. I read this to my Partner btw..... Our…

they are beautiful! such a rare color and markings! <3

please add me Kristen! thank you! <3

My amazing Wife:blushing:

Everyone is welcome to add me. I have lost weight and gained it all back over the course of maybe 4 years and now looking to lose it all again. I have been doing some "soul searching" so this is actually my first full day back since before christmas but I am in it to win it. I dont have a deadline as to when I want to…

anyone that would like to, feel free to add me :)

This thread is so entertaining right now!!!!!!! the one thing that would make it complete, is if there was a photo of the grumpy cat included with the original question... (giggling to myself as I roll one while posing in the bathroom mirror...with duck lips)

You just killed it right there!!!!!!!!! I gotta agree with you on this one.... unless its effecting you, don't worry. do your thing and the right guy will come along. and if its the wrong guy, you will know because you will know and value yourself enough to see through the BS.....

I guess maybe it depends on the person? a person who is looking to have someone hold their hand would be offended if they got "motivational bullying" from someone who told them to suck it up. Someone who is looking for some tough love would find that if they got advice from someone who is a personal cheerleader, it might…

I have 100 exactly to lose. I am down 8 so far. I have been using MFP since 11/27. You all may find this funny but I used to work in the weight loss industry. one of the more popular programs where as a program director, you had to be on the program in order to secure your job. I had just given birth to my son and weighed…

Brazillian booty lift... its a bit on the expensive end at 60$ for the set but its well worth it. reshapped my butt in 2 weeks but then my diet caused it to go back so you might want to consider both diet and exercise. I just recently started with MFP almost a month into it and I play zumba core on the wii 5 days a week…

the best advice that I can give, I agree with everything that everyone is saying but I do feel like you might need to learn to value yourself a little more. Once you learn just how amazing you are, you will no longer waste time on people who treat you like you don't matter because you do.

I have been trying to figure this out all day!!!! so in escence, I should eat the calories that I earned durning exercise?

I gain weight too. it's usually all water because I get the "salts". I just try to have maybe one or 2 salty snacks when this happens and I drink a ton of water. My partner says I look like I'm about 3 months pregnant for 3 or 4 days and then all of a sudden my curves come back :-)

"ooooot oooooooooooooooooooooooooo" in my best Amy Poehler voice while pointing to myself like in baby mama when they go to birthing class and she's bouncing on the balance ball...:laugh:
