I do the same thing, I HATE going over 1200 when I am set to eat 1800 and I exercise A LOT so I could get away with eating a ton more! I feel if I am putting in so much effort why would I want to eat so much - I say as long as you are netting your 1200 you are fine to eat 1600 or less!

cupcakes - went to a bridal festival with my cousin and of course had to sample every one :-)

Welcome! Feel free to add me!! I have lost 80 pounds since April - just reset my ticker for the new to get motivated to lose these last 35 pounds! I am not the best at commenting but I am on everyday and always check in on all my friends

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always…

SPLURGE!!! You aren't going to live your life for the next 100 years not having a splurge day - just enjoy yourself and get back on track the next day!!

I never eat my exercise calories - EVER!!

I have lost 80 pounds all on my own. I have not used a program have not had a personal trainer and have not had anyone helping me with my food choices!! You can do it!

I eat oatmeal or yogurt and granola - keeps me full until lunch

my scale will never see over 200 EVER again!!

my scale will never see over 200 EVER again!!

I am a teacher and I love it!

this is one of the nicest and most informative threads I have read on here - I am glad to see people actually having an adult discussion about something rather than bashing each other for trying new things!

Music and Lyric Love Actually 10 things I hate about you Could watch these 3 everyday and not get bored of them!

Stick with MFP - I have been doing this for 7 months and have lost 80 pounds my cousin has been doing weight watchers and although she is having success she doesn't have the daily interactions with people supporting her goals so her progress is much slower. But you have to go with what will work for you because in the long…

Look at the success stories - when you see people looking amazing it really motivates you!

Feel free to add me!

I have OCD - I have to open and shut the doors in my house several times before I lock them to ensure they are shut and locked and if I got to bed and my husband asks if I checked the doors I have to go do it all over again, he has learned not to say anything about locking doors :-)

Salty all the way!

Attention! That might sound shallow and self centered but for 5 years I have been hiding and now I LOVE getting attention!!

I have either 1 packet oatmeal with 1/2 cup milk OR 1/2 vanilla yogurt and 1/2 cup granola

I am 5'10'' and my fingers overlap around my wrist and there is NO WAY that I would be considered a small frame! I wish it worked for me because I also agree that BMI is all out of wack! I weigh 197.5 pounds and have a BMI of 28 putting me in the overweight category - I have 32.5 pounds to goal (165) and that will put me…

Thank you everyone for all the kind words - you have all given me the push I need to power through these last 35 pounds!! We can get through this journey together! Thanks again!!

I am 5'11 - my goal is 165. I hear it everyday from my co workers - they say "there is NO WAY you have any more weight to lose" :-) One nice thing about being tall!!

No real advice that hasn't been said 100 time - I count every calorie that goes into my mouth averaging between 1200-1600 a day, I have not had fast food/pizza/pop since February 2011. I cut out red meat - except on occation. I go to the gym 5 days a week (w/o a trainer) and lift and do cardio averaging a 800 calorie burn…

Feel free to add me, I am always looking for new friends!

Feel free to add me - I am alway open to new friends!

I started out at 270 and I jumped right in - I started weight training and doing the elliptical everyday and slowly added more time and weight as I felt the need to. Your body can do more than you think - good luck!

Feel free to friend request me - I am always looking for friends to keep me motivated!
