Hahaha! I do this too! So glad I'm not the only one... I weigh myself every morning after I use the bathroom! Haha. It helps keep me in check!

Hey all! I'm Amanda, and I'm 28 y/o and 5'3" (barely). SW: 141 CW: 138 GW: 120! I'm a RN, no kids, dating a wonderful man...just really looking to feel better about my body and to start living a healthier lifestyle! :)

For me, my resolution is not to give up fast food...because realistically I do have to stop off every once in a while. My resolution is to force myself to make healthier and more nutritious choices. Goodbye to the burgers and fries that I love so much...and hello healthy grilled chicken sandwiches, and salads with grilled…

These challenges look amazing! I'm so excited to get started! :) Happy New Year Everyone!!!! :drinker:

Mmmmh, LOVE this stuff!!!

Hi! I'm Amanda, and I'm barely 5'3". It sucks being short, because even 5 lbs can do such damage to the way your clothes fit. Grr! 2011 was an awful year for me, diet-wise. LOL I started MFP in May, and didn't stick with it long. Then, I gained some weight, got myself on track, counted calories, and lost about 6 lbs in…

I like my rack...LOL Of course I'll be losing some cup size as I lose weight, but it will be worth it. I also like my hair, and my curvalicious butt. Hahaha.

I'm staying simple and just doing a 300+ calorie cardio workout on NYE and NYD! I've already clocked my time in for NYE, and now I'll have encouragement to watch my intake tonight at the party I'm going to and to limit my alcohol intake! Gotta be able to clock in the same workout tomorrow, ya know? :)

That's great, and what you said is SO true...It really is up to you and you alone! Congrats on feeling the burn! ;)

Thank you all for your responses! They were very helpful!! :)

I would love to do this... Name: Amanda (Mand8301) Current Weight: 140 Goal Weight (at the end of 90 days): 128 Goals: Increase my energy levels, improve my sleep, drop a pants size ;)

After reading so much about the ill effects of diet soda, I decided to cut wayyyy back. I use to drink about 4 cans per day, which now seems ridiculous to me. I've been almost soda free (cut down to a few cans per WEEK) and I have to say, my appetite really has gone down. I've stopped craving sweets like I used to, and…

I got my Halloween costume yesterday! Time to get down to business! It is just a smidgeon tighter than I want it to be...so if I can just lose these last few pounds by Halloween, I will be all set to go! :-D

I love the mini blizzards. They are the best thing DQ could have done. If I am REALLY craving one, I'll allow myself a little one, and I'll leave the plain icecream (they never put enough mix-ins in there, do they?!) at the bottom untouched. I've already satisfied my craving! :) Very happy for you! :)

I'm SURE it's water weight....The first week that I started working out, I gained 3 lbs. It's just your muscles using water to recover themselves...and after your day, they need all the help they can get! Haha! :) Give it a few days and it will fall off, I guarantee it. And you'll start seeing losses again! You're doing…

Do tell, where do you get this oatmeal!? I love anything PUMPKIN, so I've gotta check this out... :)

This is very intriguing! Where do you get dandelion root tea bags, though?!? Gosh, I would love to lose 5 lbs of water weight! But I wonder how long it would take to gain it back after you stopped the diet..

I'm so excited about the accountability for this challenge! I've been really great about tracking my calories, AND I've been making better choices. I'm really quite proud of myself. I have been weighing myself every day to keep me accountable...it tends to keep me from falling off the wagon! :) PS: How do you get the…

Can I order this anywhere? What does "cafe au lait" mean?

So simple, but so TRUE! Love it!

Howdy! I tend to count everything.....that way, I'm less likely to eat a bite of cookie, if I know I'm gonna have to track it! :-P

Welcome to MFP!!! Feel free to add me :)

"Oh no! My clothes must be SHRINKING!" LOL!! Oh, and "I'll start eating better TOMORROW...right after I finish this quesadilla with extra sour cream and this big serving of yummy fries!"

Doritos...it's an addiction! I can't keep them in my house!

You look awesome!! It's totally noticeable! Good job, girl!

Congrats on an amazing success story! You look fabulous!!! :)

Wow!!! What a great feeling! What does "NSV" stand for, though? I can't figure it out! LOL

Congrats on that loss! How great is that?!? :) Welcome to the forums...everyone seems so friendly here! I think the encouragement we get here makes a big difference!

Welcome! :) You really can't have enough friends on this journey! Feel free to add me!

I hate to say it, but I'm not nearly that active. Don't get me wrong...I walk a lot at work...and I walk around doing housework, etc. Or when I go to the mall. But I don't actually take long walks as a form of transportation. If I lived in the city, I probably would...but out here in the 'burbs, the grocery…
