First off, CONGRATS on your accomplishments! Secondly, sometimes I think people are scared to say anything so they don't offend you. I've lost 34 lbs and I haven't gotten any comments like that yet unless it's from my MIL or my husband who obviously both know that I;ve been trying to lose weight. I don't know what holds…

My best advice: PLAN AHEAD. Go look up nutritional infomation of different restaurants you think you might want to go to. Compare different meals and see what would work best for you. Then go there and celebrate for your birthday. Work out during the day so that way you have room for extra calories. And if you go over…

It's very much a habit now for me. I feel weird on "rest" days since I haven't exercised. I just know that if I don't continue with it I'm going to end up 297 lbs again. And I DON'T Want that one bit. I've lost about 34lbs or so this year and I don't want any of that back on, so I just stick with it. I'm finding it harder…

I hear ya! I've been exercising all week and staying under my cals and my scale hasn't budged. It's stayed the same all wrek. I don't understand it. I changed up my goals today and i'm going to find my 30DS dvd and use it today to try and kick my body's butt. Last week. After I took a rest day things looked better scale…

The last time I went to McD's I got a grilled chicken snack wrap with no cheese or sauce and the smallest fruit and yogurt parfait. I don't remember how bad it was calorie was but I don't think It was so bad.

Today I took 2 white corn tortillas, cut up cherry tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, and banana pepper and broiled it in the oven. Then I had a salad on the side with Lite Toasted Asian salad dressing. It was yummy and full of veggies as well!

My husband is very supportive. If he sees something at the store he thinks will help me he buys it for me. He listens to me rant and rave about my eating/exercising. He's there to try and help when im feeling down or gained a little bit that week. He sits there and answers my 57885 questions about what he thinks I should…

Last night I was really hungry when I was trying to fall asleep. It was late though and I sure wasn't going to be doing any midnight snacking. This morning I didn't seem to be starving when I woke up but I did get hungry once I started cooking breakfast.

Great work and dedication! Congrats on being almost there!!

Awesome!! I'm so excited for you =) That's a great feeling!!!

I think cheat days are good for the mind/soul. As far as for me, last Sunday I went to a picnic and had some chicken. pasta salad, chips, and corn. That night we had to go to a bday party at a pizza and pasta buffet. I probably ate like a good 6 pieces of pizza and some pasta and a salad. That's a lot of cals. I did 30…

When we first got the wii fit a couple of years ago I stepped on and thought I lost a lot of weight from the last time I weighed myself. Turns out, I hadn't added the additional feet thingies (lol, I so do not know what they are called). When I added them my weight had gone up. If it's on carpet you should add them on…

Welcome to MFP. It's a great time to start living a healthier life. This site has helped me lose 24 lbs in about 55 days or so. Not only that, I feel better about myself, make healthier choices, and I'm exercising pretty much daily. =) You can do it!!

That's hilarious and awesome!!!

Wow. You look amazing! Congrats on 90lbs lost. Truly an inspiration. Can't wait to see the after pic!!

I hear you! That's mine as well. It's a very rewarding feeling to step on the scale and see a lower number than the last time! It helps me to remember why I'm doing this. Congrats on your new lifestyle!

Congrats on making it halfway to your goal! Keep it up!!

Sounds yummy!!!

Awesome job! I can totally notice a difference! =) Keep up the good work!

Pizza! If we have it I eat wayy too much. Next would be ice cream, then cookies, brownies lol. Let's just go with chocolate for a second choice.

Welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend =) good luck on your journey. This site is awesome.

I love this site. The support from people I have never met is great. I love that I can get on here and be real and open about my eating issues. Its great to be united in a common goal. We're all in this together. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I think the problem is you're not eating enough. You shouldn't really go under 1200 cals. Eat back some of your exercise cals and have a snack or two. When I wasn't losing weight about a week ago thats what I had to do. I was going WAY under my calorie goals for the day and my body was storing too much stuff since I wasn't…

I do that to myself as well. For example right now, the past 2 weeks I've been losing and then all of a sudden I gain and I seriously can't understand why. So when I sit here and think about the 17lbs I've already lost I think well, it's only 17 lbs and that's not enough. Yeah, I've got a lot more to lose but 17;bs in a…

First off, thanks for everything you have done defending our country. =) Secondly, CONGRATS on the weight loss. That is great! It really is mind over matter.

I think he is over reacting not you. You have EVERY right to brag. That is a HUGE accomplishment. And you can bet when I lose 80lbs Not one will I be doing a victory dance but I sure will be posting some new pics of me somewhere. I'd be bragging too! You deserve to brag. I wouldn't want a pic of me 80lbs heavier on my…

I Hear you. I'm only 23, I have a 2 yr old, and i'm a stay at home mom. Before coming on here I used to eat constantly. I also don't drive so I can't really get away from the house too much. What has helped ke to feel better and to socialize with adults has been church. Don't get me wrong I love my daughter but sometimes…

How does my diary for today look?

Guess it's time to indulge a little bit more on snacks =) haha. I don't mean to be netting so little. Wow, I go from eating wayy too much to not eating enough. I have to find my happy middle.

Thanks. I have noticed as well a few weeks ago when I was losing weight I was eating a lot more at dinner time. I forget how much water I drink per day so that's why its not logged. I don't drink anything else only water.I guess I should keep track of that. So if I don't plan on eating too much that day should I skip the…
