I'll be one of yer pals on here for motivation. =) I wish you the best of luck on your journey with weight loss!

I do want to become more of a runner/jogger, so I think, based upon what you’ve said that I should have my carbs higher. I didn’t know that they had such an effect on water retention, though. Thank you for all of the information, I am becoming more and more informed for the better thanks to you and the others here. =)

Rkimmins: Thank you for all of the information that you have provided, it’s very helpful! I’m going to look into the DASH Diet to help me with losing weight and really getting into the habit and routine of eating healthier, fresher foods. =) From your knowledge on how exercise works with weight loss, this was eye opening…

It is rather discouraging to see the scale say the opposite of what you feel! I think I'm just going to weigh myself once a week, so that it doesn't kill my motivation and mindset that what I am doing is healthy and right for my body. Good luck to you as well! =)

Okay, I think I will do that then. Keep tracking and see what happens and where it goes. Thank you! Looking at my nutrition chart on here, I see that I do eat a lot of carbs, about 50% each day. That seems like a lot to me, and, my fat percentage for the past 2 days was 38%. So, I think I'm eating too many carbs and foods…

Thank you. That actually does make sense; I have been drinking a lot more water too, so I don’t dehydrate. Should I just keep doing what I’m doing (and keep changing my eating habits to healthier ones) and just not weigh myself for a bit, so I don’t sweat the weight gain?

Good luck to you as well, and I hope MFP is able to help you with achieving your goals on your journey!

I just got my Fitbit Zip last night, and it isn't showing that I've done anything yet (granted, my walking has been around my workplace). Although, it has been syncing up and showing on the homepage of my MFP App, showing my MFP information and then the steps out of 10k that I've taken so far. I think maybe you have to…

Something that usually helps me with controlling what I eat on a daily basis, to avoid the binging is that I prepare or plan everything that I’m going to eat for the day in the morning when I wake up. That way, I just tell myself that this is it; this is all you have for the day and nothing else. It usually works for me,…

Congratulations on losing 15 pounds! =) Pulling that muscle must have been rather painful, so I hope it heals quickly and nicely for you. I've sent you a friend request, so that we can be friends on this journey for happier, healthier lives.

Congratulations on cutting out all of the bad food, that's really amazing that you've been able to do that! I wish you the best of luck on your training for your maration! I just recently started up with this, and I don't think I could cut out all of the bad foods that I love like you have. I am impressed by your…

Welcome back, and congratulations on your new job! I’m new here, but I’m always happy to chat and keep up the motivation and dedication with others. =) I’ve only tried the Weight Watchers diet from all of those that you’ve listed, and while it did work for me, it’s just too expensive for me (I’m a graduate student, so…

Hello and I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey! I’ve always noticed that weight loss is more of a “mind over matter” kind of thing, so my kind of advice or motivation is that you should get a mantra. And, whenever you begin to feel discouraged, start saying it to yourself. I’ve used my own kind of silly…
