Hello everyone! Anyone can feel free to add me. I've been on and off of MFP for about 2 years. I'm getting back into it. Ready to kick my bad habits and start some new, good ones! I have about 80 pounds to lose so I have a ways to go!

Hi hon! The dieting industry and crash dieting has left the world with a bunch of misinformation about how many calories you should be eating. Here's a crash course: Your BMR, which is the energy your body needs in order to survive just siting there (beat your heart, digest food, brain activity), can be calculated here:…

Hi! :) I have to recommend the Nike Training Club app- it's free and the workouts combine cardio and strength, so you're building muscle while you're losing fat- which can help with excess skin! The workouts are tough but you're going to feel great after getting through them, plus there's a lot of variety within the app-…

Thank you both! I do take birth control- the kind that lessens each week until your placebo week. That's my other theory... but I've been taking it for just about three years now and haven't had these problems until recently. The only reason I'm considering that, too, is because I notice it always gets worse between the…

I know it can be easy to be angry, but you just have to let it go. Her poor choices probably affected her, as well. Being someone who's been overweight for most of your life, you probably know that it's a very difficult cycle to break. In my family, food was used as a way to show each other we cared. My mom would…

I go over mine every day. I eat a lot of fruit, though, which is why.

Thank you <3

Ahh! I know! lol.

:D

Haha, well thank you. :)

Right, I know I definitely need to lose weight, but I'm -supposed- to weigh from 140-170... that's 70-100 pounds.. doesn't really seem right lol.

Thanks, got it working! :D

Haha, obviously I've never posted pics on here before. thanks! :)

Yeahhh. do the links work?

Good luck, feel free to add me as a friend! I'm currently at about 225, I want to get down to 150! About the same amount of weight to lose there! (Oh, and I'm also 5'10"!)

You could probably sell them on here... like, to me. =P

Tumblr is like a miracle. It's so motivational! My tumblr is : stacyislosing.tumblr.com

Thank you all so much! AFter having it explained like 10 times I think I finally get it. haha.

I honestly think that Tumblr is what is keeping me on track with my weight loss. I <3 it.

Hey hon! You look like you're doing pretty good with lowering calories, but try adding more fresh produce to your day. Also, I'm not sure if you just aren't counting it, but make sure you drink lots and lots of water! Seriously, you retain water when you dont' drink enough. It sounds backwards, but when your body is…

Fruit is going to be your best friend. It's soo good for you, and its delicious! Also, peanut butter and bananas are kind of my weakness right now, but peanut butter does have a lot of calories. IT is good for you, nonetheless. I would just get organic peanut butter if I were you, because regular pb is looooaded with…

I am also looking for motivational buddies, so please, feel free to add me! I just started trying to lose weight seriously on the first of this month, and I want to keep this motivation up! :)
