Thanks everyone for your responses! These will help me out a lot! There are just so many to choose from, its crazy!

No one seems to care to comment. :(

I am 28, looking to lose 75 more pounds! And I could really use some motivation too. This is my 6th day logging my food in row. I need to keep at it this time. I have been a member for so long-- but keep getting away from it! Friends? Yes, please!

Love this! Life style.. Not good and bad days!

Thank you! I always hit all of my recommended vitamin in take and mg energy levels are pretty good.. I just was concerned I was eating too little.

I like Ezekiel bread a lot! They have it at trader joes and in the frozen section at my local grocery store. It comes highly recommended by many!

Hi! I'm a teacher and I totally need motivation! The struggle is real!!! Hahaha.

I find it interesting that the ensure made you sick when looking at your diary. Did you feel sick when you had milk for breakfast? Or from the sugar in the kit kat bar? I just wonder because if you only felt sick from the ensure-- maybe your body just doesn't like it.

Good points! Thank you. I will do some self reflection!

Thank you!

Thank you! Also, here's another one I just thought about-- is protein important after a workout? I don't do that. Lol

I LOVE my nutribullet! When I first got it, I too, made a bunch of stuff that tasted like straight up garbage! Lol. But I have gotten the hang of it. I stick to mainly fruits or veggies, but just keep in mind that too many fruit smoothies can be a lot of sugar. And, when I have a lot of fruit sugar, I personally want to…

Way to go! I want to try and make it on a long streak. I have hit 6 days! LOL! You look awesome!

Lol! I love wearing super hero shirts when I work out. It makes me feel STRONG! :) haha

Thanks! When I saw them side by side.. I was a little shocked. I didn't realize the difference. It helped. :)

Keeping up with the work! Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone! This is exactly what I needed to feel inspired again. Just went to gym and kicked some major butt! I just kept reminding myself of the picture in the white shirt and how far I have come. Today I have learned that being my own motivation is key! And that having wonderful people, who are in similar…

Thank you! It is appreciated. I need to continue to celebrate the successes, rather than the harp on the bad.

Hello Everyone! I could really use some supportive, motivational people to befriend me on here. I have been on MFP for awhile now, and I think the key ingredient I am missing to my weightloss is someone who is going through the same thing as me. I would appreciate any adds. PleasE?

Me too! I keep getting side tracked. I am thinking if I made some online buddies it would help me to be more successful! Help me out people! :) Let's motivate one another!

I would just like to commend all of you on a job well done! Your pictures are truly inspirational! Way to go!

TUESDAY GOAL: - To drink only 1 diet soda. - To burn atleast 800 calories at the gym tonight. - To VOTE!!

You averaged nearly a pound a day! Way to go. You have changed your life! :)

Over the years people have made many comments about my weight. They have been rude and crude. I can remember being asked if my backpack was empty because I ate all of the books in it; that was just 2nd grade. I have been called a beach whale, while at the beach. In high school during swim class, people would all watch as I…

Thank you. You too! I need all the encouragement I can get. I am going out to buy a scale for food for this week and try to eat only things I make or eat at home. I am such a non home eatter which is causing major issues I think!

My body seems to respond when I do not eat very many carbs. However, I then end up eating more protein.. in turn, more fat.

I would like to clarify that I did begin this January at almost 280lbs. I am now down to 259. However, since I started using this program it has been only a 1 lb difference that keeps fluctuating. I think that you are right and I must have the calorie thing set to high? Not sure. I will open it.. I just don't know how to.…

I have a question. When I work out.. you know how the net calories thing changes.. and it says I am to eat more calories.. is that true? I understand how important eating is and that when I am active it is important to make sure that I am fueling my body-- but some days I burn ALOT of calories.. and then it calculates that…
