Something Jillian Michaels has said has stuck with me and helped me when I've had times where I had waaaay more than I intended: if you are driving along a highway and your car gets a flat, you wouldn't get out of the car and flatten the other three tires. You'd get out, change the tire and go back on your way. Her…

I love Just Dance. Anytime some form of exercise can get me enjoying it enough that I end up continuing it longer than I'd intended or better yet- look forward to doing it again, it's great.

I've been a strict lacto-ovo (meaning I eat eggs and dairy but no meat) vegetarian for over two decades now and it is quite possible to be very, very, very unhealthy on such a diet- obese even. Oh boy is it possible. Especially if you like cheese, chocolate and cream filled things. The fact that said foods are fried in…

I started out in the 300's (347lbs to be exact) and have slooowly worked myself down to 266 so I have been there. You can do it if you wish. While I can't tell you what to do, I can tell you what has worked for me. I still let myself have the foods I like such as burritos, cheese and, yes pizza. I just do it in much…

Celery without dip makes a pretty good nearly-non calorie snack. Pickles are really good too and I've used them many a time when I really needed somthing to eat but was short on calories left.

I have a BodyMedia Core and it has worked really well for me. It helps me keep track of how much exercise I am actually doing as well as lets me know when I'm not giving it my all.

I have about 150lbs left to lose and am happy to support anyone. Feel free to add me. :)

My personal experience is that one of the quickest ways to get myself to hate a diet plan and start looking for excuses to get off it is to make myself eat foods I don't like and feel deprived by never having my favorite foods. As long as you're careful to count your calories accurately and eat at a deficit, you will lose…

All too many days I find myself too tired to get up early or exercise in the…

I've been there. I've lost weight and gained it back- along with more than I'd lost- many times. Then I reached a point where I realilized that the weight I was at was dangerous and if I stop keeping track of what I'm eating and do the regain the weight back and more thing again, that it very well might kill me (that may…

I have a lot of weight to lose. Feel free to add me. :)

I'm 5.5 and my goal weight is 120lbs.

I do. I love generic brand diet strawberry soda. And diet coke. :)

I'm-- a bit older than 28 (*cough* 38 *cough*), but also have a LOT of weight to lose. MFP has given me great support and continues to do so everyday. Please feel free to add me. :)

I live in Austin. :)

Posting the first time was hard for me too. Thankfully people here have been super nice. Portion size has often seemed sneaky to me. Especially with things like chocolate and cheese. :) Please feel free to add me.

Count me in. I need to stay on track despite the upcoming holidays and this seems a great idea!

I wouldn't consider it lying as there is no intent to deceive, but there have been a few days where I splurged and didn't log everything. Most of the time I do try to log everything though and am trying to be more careful.

Hi! I also have PCOS. My doctor put me on Metformin, told me to take DCI, exercise and go on a 1200 calorie diet. I did so (while I haven't been perfect on the exercise and have had a few "splurge" days I've been a LOT more active than previously) though I was a bit cynical when told that I could see improvments with as…

I do. A lot. The only console I have is the Wii so I use that. I've actually found "WiiFit Plus" to be useful. Some of the exercises are low intensity, but not all. Island run is good and I really like Free Step, as they do make me really sweat. Both are from "WiiFit". "Biggest Loser Challenge " is a great fitness game and…
