27, college student with 50 lbs to lose

I'm back as well for the 100th time. Feel free to add me!

I'm Disney obsessed myself! My absolute favorite character is The Little Mermaid! Feel free to add me!

I've been having trouble keeping my protein up so this thread could help me too!

It's a start! I started jogging for 2 mins at 3.0 on the treadmill and now I'm up to 3 mins at 4.3. Baby steps will get you there!

If you're eating processed foods, then you'll sodium content will be high. But overall, sodium doesn't have much effect on weight loss other than retaining water. On days that you do go over your sodium, counteract it with by drinking more water that day.

Right now this is my routine: 15 mins strength, 20 mins cardio and sometimes 5 mins abs. My current weight is 195, once I hit 170 I would like to decrease cardio to about 10 mins and add it to my strength training and of course add more weight. But thank you all for clearing that up. I was getting so frustrated with all…

I don't know the exact statistics but I've heard that almost 80% of weight loss is due to diet and 20% due to exercise. It's not about eating more veggies and fruits, but you can also a lot of your favorite foods by cooking them in healthier way such as baking instead of frying, staying away from processed foods and…

This is what I do and it works for me. After 2 or 3 hours, I'll have a fruit to keep me satisfied until lunch.

Awesome post! I've always struggled with my weight because I'm an emotional eater. I would binge to the point that I was numb. I too have realized this will be a lifetime war and it seems I always lose the battle right before TOM. A week before TOM arrives, I have no self-control. I'll eat whatever I crave and for the…

You can never go wrong with a teriyaki bowl.

Awesome! Thank you for all the ideas! Is the a specific brand of balsamic vinegar you guys recommend?

LBC bby!

I wouldn't look so bad if my arms didn't look like Popeye's arms! Thanks for the tips!

What about oatmeal? High on fiber and it only takes about 2 minutes to make. I like to add a 1/4 tsp of honey, cinnamon and if I have time I'll cut up strawberries.

Love to see more of these pictures! As a curvy person myself it really inspires me to keep going! Congrats on your success ladies!

It always baffles me how a simple chicken sandwich can be so high on fat!

Haha I love this! I'm pretty obsessive myself. I log everything including my spices. I try not to eat out for that very same reason: I don't know what I'm eating so I can't accurately log it. A few weeks ago I was craving Pad Sew, but I didn't want to eat because I really can't accurately log so I made it myself and guess…

Request sent! I'm so sorry about your loss, but I think it's amazing that you didn't gain everything you lost. When I went thru depression I gained the 40lbs I worked so hard to lose. The important part is that we're back and we're determined.

I have about 50lbs to go! I'm taking my time as well. Be warned that I fall of the wagon every 6 weeks or so, but I've been pretty good about coming back. I've been on a roll with a logging! For the first time in my MFP history I'm going to make it to a 100! Feel free to add me btw!

Request sent! Feel free to add me pals! I like being motivated and I keep an open diary for my friends.

We all know the struggle! I've failed too many times, but something tells this time it will be different. I'm in a better place and loosing this weight for me. I tend to fall off the wagon at 1 every six weeks, but I'm not giving up this time. This time it's a lifestyle change. Some days I will do great and others I will…

lose 25 lbs! there's a dress I'd like to wear for NYE.

You can count on me! I try to motivate when I can and keep an open diary for my friends. Feel free to add if you're an active member!

I'm an active member with an open diary to her friends :) Feel free to add me!

Good for you for taking control of your health Brandie! This is going to be hard journey. There will be a days or even days when you're going to fall, but you gotta stand up each time. I'm tired of being fat myself and I'm back on MFP for who knows how many time. Feel free to add me! I keep an open diary for my friends and…

Haha! I stay creepin' on people's diaries for new ideas. Feel free to add me if you have an open diary!

Thank you all for your input! I definitely want to lose the weight as quickly as possibly so I would like to stick at 1200 calories to see faster results. I just didn't want my body going into starvation mode.

Hello Carmen, I'm Yvette and I'm addicted to fatty foods. My weakness is chinese food.

damn, you put him in his place!!! good for you!!!
