1. I used to think if I sat really still in the car that people passing me would think I was a statue. 2. That the car didn't move, the road moved and the gas pedal and steering wheel just controled how fast the road moved

It's really all that works for you. I'm not really a breakfast person. I try to have something before work just because once I get there, it's crazy. However, I keep emerald almond "breakfast blend" in my desk so when I want something I can have it. I'm kind of the same way, I'd rather save it for later. But, i exercise at…

The more the merrier. Great place for support here. You can add me if you'd like

I didn't give up anything. I just pay closer attention to amounts. There are things that I don't eat as much of or as often but when I want it, I get it.

I've done it about 3 times. I just purchased it about 2 weeks ago and had 2 long weekends in a row where I was gone so I haven't been too consistent. I did notice that even with a few days in between, my 3rd time was WAY easier. Don't get me wrong, I was still exhausted at the end but I was able to move this morning. I…

You can add me if you'd like to. I'm on here ALL the time!

I live in Montana and I LOVE the snow. I don't do much sledding, skiing or other snow-y activities much anymore but I love the peaceful and cozy feeling that I get from the snow.

Mine has been open, mainly because when I started using MFP, I wanted advice for how I was eating. Now, I know the drill. I log a few days a week, never on the weekends because I'm gone. I almost NEVER "complete" my diary at the end of the day and for the most part I found if you don't complete it, then no one really looks…

I think it's because some people get really discouraged by seeing the daily fluctuations even if they know they're there. Personally, I weigh at least every morning and most evenings before bed. I don't log it until my AM weight has been the same for several days, that's when I know I've actually lost the weight. I feel I…

If you don't have a food scale, GET ONE! I was guessing on what 4oz of meat was or 2oz of noodles and I was way over estimating. Logging is great but you have to be accurate for it to make a difference.

I'm on here ALL the time. More than FB and pretty much everything else. More friends and support always help! I've been on here about a year and a half have made steady progress. I'll be the first to admit there have been weeks where I don't keep track as much or don't exercise, but I've always maintained, haven't gained…

When I'm sick, I am never as hungry anyway. I don't force myself to eat if I'm not hungry and I don't track anything when I'm sick either. I also don't exercise until I'm sure it's all gone. I don't want to risk overdoing it and ending up sick again because it wasn't gone.

Usually if I have a craving that strong, I have it. I find that if I REALLY want something, it's easier for me to give in and have it. If I put it off and put it off, when I finally do give in, I'm more likely to binge on it. If I have whatever I'm craving, when I'm craving it, I can usually stick to 1 piece or a handful…

I started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred today. I totally got my *kitten* kicked! I wanted to quit but then she said "if you feel like you're dying then watch ____" so I did that and kept going! day 1: Jillian: Shar:0

You totally can!

Welcome everybody! THis place is the best! Anyone can add me if they want!

One thing that helped me when I started was only to track calories. I found that in order to really get in the grove and stick to it without going crazy, I had to ignore the sugar/protein/fats and just go for calories. I noticed that after awhile, I was making better choices in general and all my foods pretty much fell…

I started at 208 and am now 145. So that's 63lbs total I pretty much just use MFP like it's designed. I stay within my calories, I eat my exercise calories back (or at least try to). I have "free days" and I didn't cut anything out. I do much better with specific questions so feel free to ask and I'll be happy to share…

Hello and welcome! You can add me if you want. Tons of support around here!

I noticed that the longer you exercise, the farther apart MFP gets from my HRM. Example - If I exercised 30 minutes, any type, the numbers were usually 30-50calories different. If I exercised 45-60 minutes, the numbers were 100+ different depending on the exercise. Not really sure why, maybe it has to do with your heart…

Hi! No better place for support! Feel free to add me if you'd like!

That I still have hot coffee and toys on my desk to distract me from the working thing...

I've always had a hard time with this! I've tried everything from eating dinner right when I get home from work to eating later in the evening. Nothing really helps. I always try to save calories for a snack and I try to make it something that is in pieces so I can pace myself and make myself eat it one at a time. Eating…

I'm 5'0. I started at 208 and currently at 145. It's taking me a long time and I have about 25 more lbs to go before I hit my goal! Feel free to add me!

:)

Hi and welcome! You can add me if you'd like. I'm on here all the time. It's the best way I've found to be held accountable and lose consistently!

Add me if you'd like! I'm on here ALL the time!

A little sugar and creamer. My favorite is the Creme Brulee!

Due to Illnesses in December and January, I kind of dropped the ball a bit. Didn't gain anything but didn't lose anything either. Back on it now so I understand! Add me if you want!

Betty Crocker also has a "Crock Pot" cookbook. I got it at Costco for like $12 bucks. There's a ton of stuff in there!
