Absolutely, positively visit Alaska at some point in your life. I worked there all summer and a more beautiful place I have never seen. The hiking is amazing, the views gorgeous, and the people are great! (in fact, the picture on my ticker is one I took while hiking up Mount Juneau!)

I've only had mine once since starting, but I didn't notice a gain- I just stayed the same weight for 2 weeks, where I had been losing a pound a week prior to that. It's an interesting question though, I'll have to pay attention from now on! Love the suggestion about more water though, wouldn't have considered that!

I just switched to almond milk and have been using the unsweetened kind, but vanilla flavoured (is that an oxymoron?), I find it a nice flavour in coffee :)

I'll admit I didn't read all of the responses so sorry if this is a repeat, but aside from lower your calories and stuff, have you tried varying your food a little? You said dinner every night is a spinach salad, etc so maybe your body is just not getting the variety it wants to activate weight loss. I find that I get a…

Yep, almost all schools, universities and colleges cancelled (ALMOST all, mine being the only one NOT)...I can't see past my balcony outside! Oh Canada...

Thanks everyone, that does clear up a lot for me. I don't think I'm mixing up cooked and uncooked when I'm logging unless the entries in the MFP database are wrong (usually they're labeled as cooked or uncooked) but I think I'm just going to start making my own and going from there. I will definitely have to check out a…

I like this idea, you can still have your sorrow foods but at least if you have a hard workout beforehand, the food is on YOUR terms, not just based on the sadness. A breakup is a really crappy thing to go through, but this (getting into shape, etc) is something that you can do for yourself, because no one deserves it more…

set your goals in increments- it's much less daunting and I find it much more manageable and rewarding! Go in 5-10lb sets, and see how you feel after each. I know my weight loss is moving much more slowly than other friends on MFP but I'm almost at my first 5lb goal, which is encouraging enough to keep me going!

I'm bumping too, love hummus and need to try some of these yummy looking recipes!

Inspiring story, you have definitely motivated me with a number of the elements in your story :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

something breaded- usually some kind of breaded chicken sub or something. I can usually work it into my day if I'm careful and planning for it, but sometimes I just need something that resembles fried. Other than that, something with a wee bit of chocolate :P

I found a website for doing strength and cardio stuff at home, as I can't afford a gym...fitnessblender.com, great variety of workouts and all different lengths, they mark how strenuous each workout is so you can start off light and ease your way up...it's made a big difference for me!

I'm 5'4", currently 154lbs (down 1lb from my starting weight!) and aiming for 130lbs! Always looking to build the support network, so feel free to chat!

If you have the motivation to work out at home, I found a good youtube channel with a great variety of workouts. They have a website too, everything's free with a few exceptions- they have an 8 week weight loss workout that you pay something like $5 for the PDF book on how the routine works, etc. The youtube channel is…

I'm 5'4", started off (again) recently at about 157lbs. My goal is 130lbs, but I'd be ok going down to maybe 120-125lbs. I agree with the last comment, it really depends on body type- I have nice legs and a small upper body, but big hips so hopefully less than 130lbs won't make me look like a ridiculous reverse hourglass…

I'll see what I can find to bring on board- I'm in Europe at the moment and shopping is pretty difficult, but I'm willing to try anything! I really appreciate the help! Any brands of protein bars or meal replacement that you'd recommend? And to answer your question JANELLPOTTORFF, I work for Princess Cruises :)

there are usually a few meat options at each meal, but it's not the greatest quality- chicken tends to be fatty, and a lot of the meats are fried or cooked in gravies and stuff
