Feel free to add me as well! :smiley:

I need some extra motivation lately and this sounds perfect!

Fantastic job! Keep it up!!

I try to log before I go to a restaurant bc I don't want to be on my phone while out with friends. However, sometimes while out doing something else we decide to go to a restaurant and so I have to log while I'm out. I just let my friends know that I have to quickly check calories before I can order. It hasn't been a…

I used to eat for breakfast almost every week at a local restaurant: 2 scrambled eggs, 3 pieces of bacon, home fries, 2 pieces of toast with jam and orange juice. On occasion my husband and I would split an order of pancackes too (with butter and maple syrup of course). Now I eat one egg, 2 pieces of bacon, 1/3-1/2 of the…

I weigh myself almost every morning bc I find that it keeps me motivated. I realize that it's going to fluctuate and I'm ok with that. I just know that every morning I am going to be accountable to my scale and I need that. Do what works for you, not what someone tells you you should be doing. :)

Welcome Tina! Best of luck! Feel free to add me as a friend, I log on everyday. :)

I have found that I lose it in spurts as well. I would go almost two weeks with maybe a half pould loss and then all of a sudden I would be down 4 lbs. At first I was freaked out because I was sticking within my calorie budget and nothing was happening but I stuck with it and sure enough it eventually came off. As long as…

That's so wonderful!! Congratulations on your milestone. :)

Feel free to add me, I'm down 58 lbs and I have 86 lbs to go. I log in everyday and I am always looking for new friends to receive/offer encouragement.

Your strength and determination are amazing! You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your story!

Great job! Keep up the fantastic work!!

You can do this. I too have gone through a similar situation with losing and gaining weight in the past. I've lost 30lbs and 50 lbs before only to gain it all back. This time I am not going to get lazy and I've lost 56 lbs so far. I still have a ways to go but I'm feeling good about myself for the first time in a long…

Welcome! Feel free to add me, I log in everyday and will be here posting for a while as I still have 90 lbs to lose. :happy:

I tend to go for the more natural version of something and eat less. That works for me. I don't like eating volume bc it can so easily translate into eating a lot of something bad as well. However, that being said everyone has to do what works for them. Thank you for sharing your ideas and trying to help those people who…

I log in everyday and have for the last 76 days. I have lost a total of 55 lbs (27 since joining MFP) and I still have another 90 to go so I will be around for a while. Feel free to add me. :)

You look fabulous! Great job!

Yes I do but I do not obsess about minor fluctuations, it helps me to stay accountable.

I love that dress! You look great!!

All the best Nicole and feel free to add me, I'm on the site everyday. You and I are very close in weight as well so I'll be here for the long haul. :)

The oil in the water can be tricky because most of it is getting poured down the drain but for everything else, especially butter, cream and sour cream yes. I don't count condiments such as mustard, ketchup, relish as long as it's only a little bit. However, I do count mayonnaise.

I think you have to do what works for you. That being said, I would be leary of an all or nothing style of thinking, you don't want to set yourself up for failure. I don't think having a treat once in a while (as long as it's not a trigger food) is going to hurt. But again, everyone is different and has to do what they…

What an incredible story. All the best. Thank you for posting your story, you have come so far, it's very inspiring. Feel free to add me as a friend, I log on everyday. :)

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing!!

I was back at school on Friday getting a few things ready for the first day of school and one of my fellow teachers said I looked great and asked me if I had lost weight. :)

Great job! You look fantastic, keep up the good work!!!

Fantastic!

I was walking across the room towards a friend and she said to me "How much weight have you lost? You look really great!" It's nice when people start to notice. :)
