I would focus on getting back on track. Trying to make up for it by eating less isn't good for my emotions. Doing extra working out is fair game. That's how I work anyway. Sometimes I go over. I log it in no matter what so I can look back and see if anything is in play emotionally. I have to remember that this is a…

I've never joined one so this will be my first. Original starting weight : 195lbs December starting weight : 164lbs December goal : 159lbs 150s! How exciting! Ultimate goal : 145lbs

Ahhhh!!!! Wow!! How awesome!!!

You'll be glad you lost weight once you get pregnant too! I just delivered 2 mos ago and I'm trying to get my body back

Oh my goodness I hear you. My daughter is only 2 mos old but I just turned 30. Looking for positive mfp friends

I like how you said you're Leena and not the wreck. Amen to that. Sending a request. Looking for motivated mfp buddies

Me too and I just turned 30. Sending you a friend request

This is kinda what I do too. When I notice a loss, I wait and make sure it registers 2-3 days in a row. Also, I'll downplay to loss. For example, yesterday I was at 159.9. Today I was at 160.5 but I lowered my weight today to 161. I hate having to go backwards so I try to make sure its a real loss first.

No wonder I feel like a duck when I squat. LOL. I wont feel so bad for leaning forward.

bump for links too.

bump. YUMMMM

I love everyone's feedback. Super helpful! Thank you all!

Free Food??? Darn it. My Cow suit is at the cleaners. Just kidding! :) I'm glad I didn't know about the free slurpies. I might have gotten one. Yes, I'm a sucker for free food. When I worked at an office, I loved free food and hated it after I ate it.

I hear you. I love eating- but if I ate everything I wanted I would have to work out hours every day. On non workout days, I try to eat snacks that fill me up. Like popcorn. Hope your leg feels better!

bahahaha :-)

I'm 27... so I only have a few years left in my 20's. :-) 5"9' (Really close to 5'10") Sending a friend request

I use a nutria-bullet but any blender/juicer would work. -2 cups spinach -1 apple -1 banana -1 cup berries (any variety in season) -8 oz mango (or any flavor) Good Belly probiotic juice -8 oz water can add ice YUMMMM!!!

I agree, though it's not accurate, it's my own fault because i'm regularly inconsistent. It does motivate me though. When I eat good and work out, I get excited at the prospect of being so close to my goal in about a month. When I eat past my calorie goal, I look at how much weight I could gain and it motivates me to eat…

kudos to you and your dad! how cool!

I used to do gluten free bread but the kind I got was not to my liking. I've kind of decided to eat foods that I enjoy, are clean, and watch the quantity. For me, if I feel like I'm eating food I'm not enjoying, I cheat more often. For now we're eating Milton's bread but I also enjoy Rudi's. I look for 100% Whole Wheat as…

I like to keep raw almonds and kind bars handy. They are calorically dense but they keep me away from processed foods. We've been grilling a lot of meats and vegis for dinner. I got a package of portabellas and put a little organic cheese in them before I put them on the grill. For my salads I've tried a little olive oil,…

I don't think you are doing anything "wrong" because it's part of the journey. I don't like the fact that you are tired and so active. I don't know your specifics (I'm just beginning to learn about my own body so I am no expert on yours.). I like the idea of more calories. Maybe try to eat healthy, clean, and whole foods.…

would you like my address. just kidding. if it's out of the ordinary and a killer workout, I might log it but down play my time.

I drink Green Tea. I like Celestial seasonings. They have this one that is Antioxidant and Green Tea that tastes like fruit Tea. I started with that and have worked my way to the Lemon and Ginseng flavor. I really like green tea. I like how my body responds to it. I can tell the difference from coffee to green tea.…

AMEN!

I firmly believe that different strokes for different folks. I love a lot of the coments that have already been said. I just joined the rec center and I too feel that I had better use it. I want to go 6 days a week and my fiancee is not liking that. We were going together. Last night he told me he wouldn't be working out…

No Nonsense here. I am afraid of the scale because I was bad. I just quick logged in thousands of calories and put MFP on the back burner. I'm loggin today, went to the gym last night, am going today. So I'll commit to getting on the scale this friday. :) Hold me to it.

I totally understand. Running scares me but hearing people on MFP talk about how they love it is motivating! WTG. Your helping me get a little less scared of running. lol

I googled it and found some good info. To me it looked pretty in line with the reasearch I've been doing. Cutting out grains and sugar is really hard but when I cut out breads, sugars, and dairy I usually loose 2 lbs in the first week. Then I cheat and I have a hard time getting back on track once I go off. For me, once I…
