Hi Charles!! Welcome to MFP! I hate the term "morbidly obese"...makes it seem like we're a freak of nature lol. This site is awesome!! Surround yourself with wonderful, supportive friends... there are some bad apples who like to rain on people's parades... but that's power of the delete friend button :wink: Best of luck to…

I have a cheat meal once, maybe (but rarely) twice a month. Usually it is on the weekend. To be honest, I've lost more the week following every time... I think it's because I work extra hard that week for it. Don't completely deprive yourself. I was having overwhelming cravings for chocolate the other day (thanks to being…

I am loving the concept of this challenge!! Looking forward to it! My name is Lane. I am a 30yo single mom of the cutest 3yo boy ever (yes, I am a little biased lol.) I am a full-time 9-1-1 Telecommunicator. That means a lot of stress and very little activity for 12 hours at a time. I started my weight loss journey on May…

You look wonderful!!

I would measure the amount of sauce before you put it on the steak... then measure how much you have left and log the difference? Just an idea. I know it won't be exact. Teryaki is a lot better, sodium-wise, than soy souce. I'm using it tonight as a matter of fact lol. Hope you enjoy your lovely dinner!

I'm up for the challenge! :)

I have lost consistently since I started. I get a minumum of 30 mins of cardio a day, sometimes with one day of rest... when I go to the gym (2-4 days/wk) I always do cardio and strength training. I think one of the biggest keys to losing weight is lots and lots of water! I follow the guidelines set my MFP, watch my…

That is awesome!! Your hard work has def paid off!! I have a co-worker who will say how well I'm doing on my "diet", I told her it's a lifestyle change. She's made fun of that, but I don't care. It's working. Congrats to you again!!

Thanks, you're so sweet! Wish I had that good feeling too lol. We shall see... if not, then next week without a doubt!

You look great!!! I know you have got to be happy with yourself!

Happy Thursday everyone (aka MY Friday!) Thank you everyone for the kind words, I just was in a gloom n' doom mood and am slowly coming out of it. I am my own worst enemy... I guess we all can be. I REALLY want to reach the 50lb mark for tomorrow's weigh in. Because I am a self-professed scale-o-holic, I weigh every…

Wonderful progress!!!

Awesome work!! You're looking great!!!

You can def tell a difference! Great work!!!

The only time I eat them back is if I am hungry... and I've steadily lost since I started mid-May. Otherwise, if you are hungry all of the food suggestions given sound real good! Best of luck to you!!!

I, too, work 12hours (7a-7p) and it can be tough to get exercise in but it is possible. I am a single mom of a 3yo. On my work days I have whoever is watching him keep him an extra hour (they're all family, so he's not in daycare.) On the days I am off I either go to the gym during the daycare hours or he will join me on a…

I'm very shapely too... I plan to start running more as I've heard it helps!
-
I think what you have in place is perfect. I do cardio every day, whether I go to the gym or not, and strength training when I go to the gym 3-4 days a week. Good luck on your journey!!

Feel free to add me!! I was pretty much where you are starting out. Drink lots of water, set small goals and refuse to make ANY excuses. You CAN do this!!

You look great!!

You look awesome!! Your hard work has def paid off!!

I don't log (and I, too, have been tempted to wear my HRM just to see lol)... but I get double the pleasure knowing I got an extra burn :laugh:

I almost cried reading this, thank you for your story! You're truly an inspiration and you look awesome!

Hello all! Happy Friday!!! I must have a little gripe-fest... and I can do it here because I know that you guys will understand more than anyone else. I have read several other people who get the case of the BLAHs... and I have caught the nasty Blah bug. I don't know what is wrong with me. The past few days I've just been…

Wtg!! You look so good!
