Frozen yogurt. My favorite place has a Ghiradelli chocolate flavor that is so rich tasting that you'd never believe its not horrible for you.

Most days I have an apple with peanut butter and some string cheese. I have my day set up so that breakfast is before 8 am and I generally eat a mid morning snack somewhere before noon. I agree with the poster who says what's wrong with sandwiches. I'm a big fan of eating whatever I want for breakfast, yesterday it was a…

TROLL. :)

^^this does not have to be true. I have been successful at this since January and have yet to be hungry.

Looking at your diary I see that you are eating lots of sugar and lots of simple carbohydrates. Both of which are digested quickly and both of which are not going to leave you satisfied, hunger wise.. I would ditch the plain white pasta and the cookies/candy. Try snacking on an apple and peanut butter or hummus and…

I am in the same boat. My husband and I made this commitment together. We got the gym membership, bought the workout clothes, etc., etc., and here I am, 180 days logged on MFP and he has yet to complete a week. I've been going to the gym 4 times a week, he rarely makes it once a week. He is obese, suffers from high blood…

THIS. And I have parents who have weight related health problems. And I want to set a good example for my kids. And I don't want to be fat.

Agree with the lifestyle change. Also, you may want to purchase a food scale and weigh EVERYTHING. Plan ahead.. If you know you are going to dinner, check out their website ahead of time. Try to make more of your life active.. If you and your husband are hanging out on a weekend, make it a walk instead! I went roller…

I looked at your profile picture.. You don't even look like the same woman! Congrats!

Excellent job!

Zumba is a fun way to get rid of belly fat. My belly is where I have lost most.

I eat half the bun. Sometimes I don't eat a bun at all.

I forgot about crackers! I used to eat Cheez its like they were chasing me. I haven't aphad a cheezit since last fall sometime. Occasionally I will have potato chips, but since they cause me to lose all self control, we generally don't keep them in the house.

Sure, count me in. :)

Sonic has nothing redeeming on their menu period.

Pasta doesn't do anything for me. I have pretty much cut it out of my diet entirely because I am unsatisfied by the amount of pasta that I now allow myself vs. the huge bowls I used to consume. I am not a big sandwich person either, but given the choice that's probably what I'd pick.

Shag

I would totally splurge for the jeans. I'm a "per wear" kind of person, and if it was a pair that I knew I'd wear ALL THE TIME, then I absolutely would. I would use "found money" for it though..birthday money, Christmas money.. That kind of thing.

The heat. I am way under cause I just don't feel like eating.

Forgive me if I've read this incorrectly, but it seems that you don't have much to lose at this time. And I peeked at your diary and it seems like you are making great choices the majority of the time.. Perhaps continue to make the choices that you are making and hide your scale? Are you exercising, or lifting? I have…

I count everything. I even weigh out spinach.. Which is silly.. But I get a kick out of seeing how much I can eat.

From my torso, definitely. I am much thinner in my ribs and tummy area..

Inspirational! You should be proud!

Yes! Today is my birthday too. I plan to eat my cake.. I've tried to go easy on my calories throughout today though.

Sometimes it's a smear of PB on an English muffin, or PB and an apple, or cheese and crackers. I got really adventurous there for a while and was eating leftovers for breakfast.. Hamburgers, pizza, etc.

You log it, get up tomorrow and do the same thing. A few fluctuations are not going to stall the train.

You may be surprised. And find friends on MFP. You may not know us in real life but we are supportive. And I am OBNOXIOUS about my weight loss on FB too. It helps keep me accountable. I only know one person who leads this healthy eating thing with me.. My mother in law.. Figure out those people who will be supportive of…

Painful as in omgimgoingtodiefromallofthispaininmygut. Never again.

My tone came off as rude. And I know that. I gained weight when I met my husband.. Eating out, late night snacks, etc. and we decided that we would start this journey together in January to eat healthier and to get fit.. We got a year long gym membership and bought a scale. I have logged in faithfully for months on MFP and…

I prefer my fiber from unprocessed sources.. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. I discovered this the painful way when I ate too many of the fiber one bars, had fiber one yogurt and fiber one pop tarts.. Yeah.. Gave most of that stuff away..
