It also helps to keep your shoes on...:ohwell:

How about a career in the military? Free clothing, good fitness program, see the world, nice living quarters...:flowerforyou:

I'll take a half pound weight loss each week. That is terrific. I too sit in front of a computer for long hours each day (often 8-11 hours). I just started forcing myself to get up every hour to take a walk to the breakroom for a cup of water. This helps me to get in the 8 glasses of water and helps my circulation and…

I am not going to spoil the day for anyone else by talking about my diet. I will eat in moderation, skip the pies, sing God Rest Ye Merry, and take a bike ride along the river with the family (weather permitting). Merry Christmas Y'All!

WONDERFUL!!!:flowerforyou:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, today is a gift that is why it is called the present!:flowerforyou:

When my mother stopped drinking coffee she had headaches for about two weeks (caffine withdrawal), then she did not miss it at all and the headaches stopped. Hang in there!:flowerforyou:

Go Green Bay!!

Go Jaguars!!!

Teebow!!!! Glory to God!!!

I am not in the military but my son is in the Navy - San Diego. He stays in top shape and I'm trying to do better. What state are you from? Glad to see you on board. Have fun!

You can help yourself feel better by walking outside - it's a proven fact to be a mood booster. Listen to some motivational speakers to encourage you and stir you up as you are walking (Zig Ziglar, Joel Osteen, etc) Don't give up - Shake it off. Everyday can be a new beginning! :flowerforyou:

Hi Ana - Try completing your food diary at the beginning of the day (then you can make sure you meet the mark in every category)- print it - stick to it. Drink the recommended water. Walk at least 30 minutes every day or every other day. Presto!

Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing.:flowerforyou:

Sounds like you need to trade up on boyfriends!

Amazing job in just one year!!! Thank you for sharing and inspiring us!! There is hope!

Please snap out of it! You have had some fun but believe me if you don't discipline yourself you will gain every bit back and perhaps even more. I am not trying to be mean but have been there. I was feeling so good about my weight loss, lots of complements, and loosened up on the routine of walking and counting calories in…

Great job, Richard! Thank you for sharing as I am inspired to stay focused today!

It takes 21 days to form a new habit. After dinner, brush your teeth and drink only water. If you feel like you are going to give in to the snack, just go to sleep instead of snacking.

I love Dunkin Donuts - original roast ground coffee. After opening the bag, I store in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. When preparing I use a level coffee scoop, about 1 Tablespoon ground coffee to 8oz water (1 cup). You may wish to add more or less grounds to suit your taste. Always start with cold, fresh water. Is…

Hi Newbie from Iowa, Wish you success. What's the weather like up your way? Can you still go out walking and bike riding, etc? Almost 60 in Florida

There are lots of opportunities for improvement! We need to be good examples. It is always right to treat people the way we wish to be treated. I also bring grocery carts out of the parking lot so cars don't get dinged. In the Southern States we are raised to say yes ma'am, no sir, please, thank you, and my pleasure. Some…

Hello! I was discouraged last week but I'm ready for a frest start today. I have to admit that part of it was due to working in the office too many hours. I allowed myself to eat snacks from the machines and did not get up much from the chair in the office or the couch at home. Today is a new beginning for both of us. I'll…

Welcome! Today is the beginning of a fresh start. Hope you have a wonderful day and know we are all in this together. The key to success is to register your food, exercise daily (I started with 5 min a day and now I am up to 30 min most days) and make adjustments as you go along. For instance, I thought eatting avocados…

It is soooo cold in my office. Maybe I can try to drink 8 cups of HOT water.:drinker:

Hello from Florida! I have not been a part of My Fitness Pal for long, but I am losing weight!! It is an easy to use guide. Have fun!!

Try something fun like Salsa steps or Line Dancing - Walmart has inexpensive DVD's in their weights and bike department. Based on your weight you can start with 10 to 15 mins each day and then increase 5 minutes each week. Good luck!

Overcome your discouragement and keep fighting for your dreams and health. Never give up.

I drink 16 oz after breakfast by taking large drinks after each vitamin and supplement. Then try to drink 8oz on the way to work. Depending on the crazy temperature in the office 8 to 16oz more before and during lunch.

I agree with you! I would be please to reach 170 and then re-evaluate! Much success to you.
