Nope I could never give it up! The only difference I made was instead of using my regular creamer I now do 1 tablespoon of international delight French vanilla and 1 tablespoon of fat free coffee mate French vanilla. I tried to go to tea but I would need to add sugar or honey and since I prefer coffee I just went back to…

What your feeling is very normal! It takes time. If you are hungry en try upping your calories for a little while and see if it helps. Just. Ake sure that the calories that you eat are "healthy" I am an emotional eater too! I am proof positive that you can change your habits. It has taken me a long time and I go through…

I have a "hump" there as well. My mom is a physical therapist and she has given me exercises. Mine is called a "forward head" and it is from bad posture. She gave me "head retraction exercises" where you roll your shoulders back and down and hold it there for 30 seconds, at the same time you tuck your chin back towards…

I was told by my doctor that I am one of the fortunate people that will never be able to get rid of the saggy skin in those two areas. It is genetic, some people have better elasticity in their skin, I however do not. :( the only cure for me is plastic surgery and they just aren't bad enough for me to go to those extremes…

Yes I absolutely would have a tummy tuck. I have been for a consult already. Hubby and I just have to decide if we are done having kids. Also mine wouldn't be for a non-essential reason. I actually have some medical factors that have gone into why I need one to the point where my insurance would cover it. I guess it…

I guess it depends on what you consider a cheat. Find a way to fit my creamer, ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and Hoffman sharp cheddar cheese into my days. You can take a look at my diary but I always stay in my goals. I will not cut things out completely because I think it is foolish to do that, no offense to…

I wish I had that kind of discipline! I have to get on every day or I fall off the band wagon.

New Hampshire, US! Welcome to MFP, it's a great place,

Yeah I am in between right now with my pants! It is so frustrating, can't wait to get out there and actually buy that size down!! Good luck! We will get there some day!
-
You have the absolute right attitude! Depriving yourself and cutting things out totally only lead to failure, at least in my case. Moderation is key in everything. Congrats on your mini goal!!! Keep it up!!

That water is vitally important!! You will not lose weight if you don't drink enough water. Once your body adjusts to that amount you won't be going to the bathroom as much. I actually drink around 15 glasses a day and it makes all the difference!

My husband and I love it! We are very simple with it. Grill or roast...either way I spray a backing sheet/grill pan with cooking spray lay out asparagus flat then spray again with cooking spray, sprinkle with salt/pepper. I put it on grill/in oven at 350 and just keep an eye on it, rotating them every once in a while. We…

Men always lose faster then women. My husband has lost 3x more weight in the last month then me, his 30lbs to my 11lbs. I know it can be frustrating but keep working at it, your body will adjust and you will start losing. If you open up your diary then people could make some suggestions if that is what you're looking for.

Anyone can feel free to add me! I can use all the help I can get. Always love meeting people that are looking for more support and motivation like me.

That is great!! It is the little success that keep you going! Great job, keep it up! Good luck in the future, YOU CAN DO IT!
-
Oh my husband is like this. He is not a fan of working out his lower body, LOVES upper body! His ego isn't so bad though that he wont do those machines, just likes to complain a lot while he is doing it. ;-) You guys need to get our of your own way, who cares what the other guys think!! ;-) Of course I need to take my own…

Sounds like a great day! I have learned, in my case at least. If I have a craving then I need to eat it or I will become obsessed and binge. So if you want that chocolate muffin go for it and don't feel guilty. Just get back on the band wagon after. Good luck and enjoy!
-
Good luck with your goal. I have found that this site really helps me lose the weight. I have lost 11 lbs in the last month while on MFP. Before that I lost 45 lbs on my own, and it is much more fun doing it with the site. I have found some really great people here that will help support and motivate. Please feel free to…

I am hypothyroid. Been on medication for 13 years. They actually just dropped my medication again from 175 mcg to 150 mcg because of my weight loss. I do not take the generic version because I was told by a specialist that it will not keep your TSH level but will make it yo-yo! Ever since I stopped generic it has worked…

That is so exciting!!! Congrats!!!

Fantastic!!!

I know EXACTLY what you mean, I know when my meds need to be adjusted too.

That is an interesting side effect. I have been on Synthroid for 13 years at a high dosage, 200mcg, and have never had that side effect. That sounds like it might be something else... I was incredibly sick when I was diagnosed so when I started my meds it was like a shot to the heart, but since then I have never had an…

I have been on Synthroid for 13 years I have always been on a high dosage, 200mcg. No the meds should not make you gain weight, what will cause you to gain weight is if you are not on the right dosage and your TSH (blood work) is still high, above 5. Which would mean you are still hypothyroid and your metabolism is slower…

Fabulous!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support, it helps so much!
