Oooh what an awesome topic! I totally notice what other people have in their carts, but I don't judge them about it. I mean, we were all right where they are at some point. I do totally LOVE showing my cart off though haha! It sounds silly, but I'm like.. "ooh yeah, check out all these veggies and fruits and greek…

cheese crackers and kettle chips! when i do indulge, I have to buy the small bags. if i had a FULL big bag of either of those, I'd lose it!!!

I quit back in 2005 -- and gained -- I think what it is, is that you're just used to having something in your mouth -- so you look for replacements. There's a whole ritual with smoking, for me it was smoke breaks from my restaurant job AND especially in my car -- I still miss that sometimes. My advice -- chew LOTS of gum,…

I am SOOOO trying these!! Thanks for posting!

apples help me. having eggs for breakfast too seems to keep the hunger quiet.

I totally know what you mean! Even when I was smaller, I had to deal with pants, jeans, skirts NEVER fitting me right! Too big in the waist, because I needed the room for the hips -- so you always have that waist gap to deal with. I'm a size 14 now and still losing -- at my smallest (a size 4/5) I still had to deal with…

Awesome-ness!! Congrats too! This post totally made me SMILE! I felt the exact same way when I dug out my size 14s from the back of the closet, and they fit like a glove -- next thing you know, they're a baggy in the waist - had to throw them out and get new ones!! Best feeling EVER!

I think everyone's different -- I would love to be -20 by then too! At least 10 pounds, maybe 15.

Omg, that's so sweet!

I use it for things that aren't in the database; like if I go out to dinner at a local restaurant and I know it's not going to be in the database, I guess -- that being said, I always highly estimate -- I think you could get into trouble under guessing. Oh and sometimes I use it too, if I don't feel like inputting a new…

Sounds like you're doing everything right, but I can't see your food diary, so I don't know what you're eating. Could be sodium -- that will always make you weigh more. Other than that -- you can give it more time, and if things still don't change, go and see the doctor, maybe it's something medical.

I can sympathize too! Lately, I've been feeling like all I'm doing is maintaining, and it's driving me crazy! I work out hard at the gym 4 times a week for 90 mins at a time, and watch the calories -- and still it's not budging! I was talking with my husband last night, and he said maybe to zig-zag with the calories, and…

I did one last night!! Mine (besides what you listed) grape tomatoes zucchini celery onions garlic

OMG!! Amazing progress!! Congrats! You two are so cute together!

Oatmeal with a banana mixed in = 250 calories 2 slices of Wellshire Uncured Bacon and 2 eggs = 200 calories Those are my faves!

hahaha omg, this post totally made me giggle!! I have to say in my experience (all the years of weight up/weight down) my boobs were usually the first to downsize, but this time has been totally different!!! I'm thinking maybe it's because I'm actually doing workouts and eating real food -- instead of starving myself and…

Hi!! I'll totally add you!!

Welcome! This site has been great for me, hope you like it too!

heya!! welcome.. I'd love a new MFPal!

welcome aboard!

haha omg, I had this SAME NSV a couple of weeks ago, and it was WAY awesome. I never noticed something like that before, but the full wrap around of the towel is SO nice!!! Goodbye towel gap FOREVER!!! Cheers for you and WTG!

I've heard it said that you need at least 3 months to really get into a routine! So you're almost there! And just like any other vice, I don't think it's something that goes away completely. It becomes a little easier everyday, and you just have to remind yourself what the results were when you were doing those behaviors…

OMG, I kinda wrestled with the same thing myself -- I totally think I was freaked out to lose the weight sometimes.. because it was like a protective shield or something. It sounds crazy, but YES! When you feel yourself going into self-sabotage mode, you just have to step back, catch your breath, and ask yourself what…

WOW!! Amazing progress!!! Congrats!! You look great!

Congrats!!!! I'm looking forward to my size 8s too -haven't been in them since 2000!! Well done!

it takes a little bit to get used to it, but I love greek yogurt now. I broke myself in slowly .. back in the day I was a Yoplait yogurt eater.. I started with Chobani first .. vanilla flavored or Black Cherry flavored, then moved on to Fage 0% plain. With the plain you do have to add a little something to it.. my husband…
