I'm not a diet-pill nay-Sayer, I'm on one right now that was prescribed to me by a doctor. But Alli is awful, I tried it for about a week and all these terrible stories about leaking things, it's 100% true! I was even very careful about what i ate!

I really love Ryka shoes, if you can't get them where you live you can order online. They're SO incredibly supportive. That being said I agree with everyone here, try some for yourself and if all else fails, stick to what you know

I had 2 scrambled eggs with pepper and 2 slices of turkey bacon. I cooked the turkey bacon first so that the eggs tasted like bacon, it was soooo good! and I made an extra piece of turkey bacon to put in my salad at lunch!

Back when I could drink I LOVED any kind of citrus-y margarita with sugar around the rim. YUM.

I'm like this too! Although according to the plan my Dr. gave me I'm not even supposed to be counting calories and just stop eating when I'm full! So I'm concerned that I'll plateau but I also don't want to eat if I'm not hungry... healthy foods are really filling!!

YES. Amazing.

Dear annoying girl in my managerial accounting class: Please do not come tomorrow... just once, I would like to LEARN without being interrupted with your stupid political opinions. It's ACCOUNTING? HOW DO YOU EVEN GET OPINIONATED IN ACCOUNTING?! xoxo Teresa

Thanks Tammy, I'd love that!

It's SO HARD. But I'm starting to show signs of insulin resistance, so it's not forever, but for a long time, I need to stay away from sugars and bad carbs. I'm still getting carbs from my cabbage veggies though! You'd be surprised how relieving it is though, to have someone tell you THIS IS WHAT YOU CAN EAT. Because I'm…

Thanks for the adds guys! And I used to be a DDR addict, but now we live upstairs in an apartment building. Our campus fitness center is pretty expensive, but it's really close... that might be a good option!

Hey everyone! My starting weigh 256 Last weeks' weight 254 I weighed in this morning at 251.4 for a loss of 2.6 lbs! Yay! My goal weight is 240 so I only have 11.4 pounds to go!!! Yay! Wherever you are I hope you're having a great day :)

Jodie don't get discouraged!!! Just focus on one thing at a time. Last week I focused on NOT eating fast food, and I lost 2 pounds just doing that! Now this week I'm reintegrating the recommended water into my diet. Next week I'll start counting calories religiously, then walking, then trying to get more veggies. Don't try…

AHHHH JOdie I'm so sorry I'm late, I weighed in at 254 yesterday, a loss of 2 pounds!

Oh jodie, It's so good to see you so motivated... you can do it girl!

Yes! Count me in ladies... I've been slacking off but no more!!! / Current weight - 256 Thanksgiving goal weight - 240 pounds. Let's do this!!!

Ugh, here we go.

1. What part of your body do you have the most confidence in? My EYES!!! I love them! 2. What part of your personality do you have the most confidence in? I'm pretty funny, I think! 3. What is one thing you do to boost your self esteem (ex: wear red lipstick, meet a goal, etc.)? Wear high heels!!! Drives my husband CRAZY!…

Oh hun, don't get down on yourself! You've done something most of us only hope to accomplish!! Keep in mind how far you've come, and don't be so hard on yourself.

Have them. Love them!

If you're not on the second floor they have some walking in place videos, but even those can require a large living room. Try stair exercises, they stay in pretty much the same place. I like DDR but in my new apartment I'm on the second floor :( And keep up your weight lifting! Toning is important too!

Hey hun welcome to MFP! I'm a pizza freak too and there are a couple varieties I like to go with. The Digorno 200 calorie portions are awesome ans Lean cuisine makes pizzas also that are great for dinner, they're delish!

When I hit almost 300 pounds I just had visions of those people who are in those little scooter wheelchairs because they are so obese. I live in a very unhealthy part of WV, and I see that on a regular basis... I was so scared if I was 300 pounds at 20, I could be that big one day. It was the thing that turned me around…

ugh, nvm.

LOL!!!! this made me laugh! I wish boo!

With the cookie and crackers 100 calorie packs, I WILL eat a whole box but one bag of the kettle corn i suggested is pretty big. It would take some determination to eat the entire box.

I get 100 calorie kettle corn for snacking at night. I mean, you can munch and munch and munch and its light so your morning weigh in isn't ruined :) Also, its not high in protein so it's not going to keep you awake digesting it.

YES! I take these for eye issues, so I''m glad to hear of the other good effects!

I can never stay under my sugar!!! But I've lost 22 pounds... so... I dunno I just try to stay away from "added" sugar.

I have the Skechers, the are ugly but I have terrible posture and they seemed to help! But I definitely didn't lose any weight just from the shoe.

WOW! Thats amazing!!! I'm so happy for you! It's great that you've decided to get in shape before you go to college... cause I weighed about the same as you when I left school, and I gained 80 pounds in a year and a half... crazy huh? The earlier you start the better. Keep at it!
