...also called theft.

Sometimes I end up at the grocery shop starving after a long day. So I buy a few potato wedges (bad, I know) from the deli and eat them right away, but I pay for the empty bag. But never food off the shelf.

Don't make that much. Don't have around that much. Make enough food just for one serving. If you buy a giant bag of chips, for example, use ziplocks and divide it into servings. Write on the bag 15 chips=300 calories=45 minutes of exercise (may be unrealistic numbers, but i used an example). When you see how much you need…

I am from Europe, I grew up on Nutella. My mom would spread it on a slice of bread with a glass of milk. Breakfast for champions!!!

It happens. I once LOST 6 pounds over night. Literally. What a good feeling :) But it was just water :(

My bf ate so much chicken when he was little, that all his adult life and not even now he cannot stand it. He won't even kiss me if I ate chicken, he cannot stand the smell.

People can right click and "open picture in new tab" to see all the pics....here http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd474/joeygirl84/CollageFront-2.jpg

I bought some and threw them away. I just couldn't put it in!!! It didn't fit! It seemed soooo huge!!! I wish I could use it, though, the concept is great!

Don't give up, it will all pay off. Your body is confused right now, but once it understands what you're trying to do it will cooperate. No matter what, don't give up. And don't use the scale to monitor progress, use clothing sizes and inches, body fat percentage, etc. Good luck!

I see the difference, your posture is better, face is slimmer, breasts are smaller and higher, tummy is flatter and even looking at your forearm...you can tell it's smaller. Even 10 pounds show. So for those of you who lost this much weight, congratulations and keep up the good work.

...I agree and I want to add that more toned muscles makes a better posture. But the most important thing exercise did for me was taming my PMS. It did WONDERS! No more mood swings (not as bad), and depression has improved A LOT!!!! Also TOM pains and problems are all going away. I am a much positive person, optimistic and…

I need 1200 to lose weight. Under that is not healthy. On the days that I work out, I burn around 300 calories. Now, if I eat 1200 and burn 300, means the net calories for that day would be the difference, which is 900. Having only 900 calories at the end of the day is not healthy, so I need to eat some more, to bring it…

Lower body fat %, increase endurance, be proud in my bikini on the beach. Have a great toned "posterior" and thighs. Reduce/eliminate cellulite. oh, and fit into my old pants :))))

You HAVE to. I had sooooo many excuses and quit exercise so many times it's ridiculous. But since I got on MFP I pushed myself. And they say 21 days forms a habit, so that worked in my case. Now, if I skip exercise for more than 2 days, it's murder!!! My body feels bad, sluggish, tired, etc. Once you get used to it (3-4…

right, ,which brings me to the next question: is there a general rule for breathing? when to breathe, how, etc etc? i was going to post a topic about that. my workout doesn't tell me "inhale on your way up, exhale on your way down"...or vice-versa. is there a breathing rule that applies to all exercises that I can follow?

ohhhhhhhhhh....now it makes sense!

Welcome, congratulation for your baby! Feel free to add me.

...when I do that, it distracts me from the actual exercise. Need to be more focused, then!

Jealousy, attention seeking, envy, competition, etc etc. Just be who you are and ignore idiots.

Brush your teeth, rinse with mouthwash, shower and get in your pijamas. Fool your body you're going to bed and after the toothpaste taste, everything else sucks!

what's a bodubugg? :D

If you want to tone and have a nice shape, do PILATES. They work wonders, they make you look slim and a very beautiful feminine shape. No muscles growing or anything, just toning what you already have. I love them!!!!

Oh, I got another idea. If you DO buy the cookies, put them in ziplocks according to portion sizes. If 2 cookies is a portion size, then put 2 cookies inside. Then, write on the bag "Cookies, 250 calories/serving=30 minutes aerobics". Once you see that, it's less likely you will continue eating, if you actually visualize…

don't have them in the house. less temptation and the thought of having to go buy them may eliminate the cravings. replace cookies with fruits.

Yummy....but is he trying to support you in this journey or sabotage you?

Give them to your jealous "fat" friends, who did not support you during this process :)))))) I've read that happens a lot, so don't get mad, get even :)

The beginning is always hard. When I went on 1200 calories, I was hungry the first 3 days and crave EVERYTHING. In about a week like this, my body had already gotten used to less food and healthier one, so my cravings now are fruits or salads. I have not craved chocolate or chips in a very long time. And if I do see it, I…

LOOOLLLL!!!!

I meant a LOT of weight, not daily fluctuations.
