My advice...ENJOY your cruise and vacation! My wife and I did our first cruise this past October to the Mexican Riviera and LOVED it...we can't wait to cruise again. Although we made a point of walking the deck each morning for an hour to start the day we didn't log or watch anything. Did I gain weight? Sure did...about 10…

I had a similar problem and the way I resolved it was to move it to the start of my day. Yes I had to get up slightly earlier. But no longer did I have it hanging over me as a "need to do" all day long and I felt much better all day long with more energy than ever. I started out just walking, around 20 minutes each…

A quick glance at your diary makes is appear that you haven't been eating back exercise calories except for yesterday? Give it an honest attempt for at least two weeks.

I hike on Saturdays and usually end up having 1,500 - 2,000 exercise calories to eat in addition to my normal calories as a result. So on Saturdays I eat those things I may crave and it's common for Pizza to be one of those items. Exercise calories taste GREAT! :-)

My wife bought some to try for herself and I gave it a try. I think it's great! Just get you a jar of regular and the one with Chocolate...you will not be disappointed.

Congrats! Save me a spot...I'm working on getting there eventually!

I use a Polar Bluetooth HRM ($75) that I pair to my phone with the SportsTracker Pro app ($5). Loving it!

Spectacular...what an inspiration!! WTG!!

It's just one day and just one weigh-in. Stick to your plan and don't fret the scale.

Welcome aboard Jim!

I exercise for the health benefit...not to lose weight. I use "eating them back" as the carrot to exercise in the first place. So far it has worked for me. DISCLAIMER - Your results may vary. :-)

Dang! Now I just have to find a donkey. :P

You are AMAZING!! What an inspiration. You have done awesome and I know you will achieve your goal!! Thanks for sharing!

I live in Vegas. There are plenty of awesome restaurants you can get a regular meal from and avoid the plate after plate buffets. Also you could start the day with a morning workout...most properties in Vegas have on location gym's. It may not make up for everything but will surely lessen the effect. Most importantly…

I'm having Jennie-O turkey burgers tonight actually! I bought a box last week to try out because hopefully in the future as I lose weight my calorie limit will decrease and I'll need some alternatives. Anyways, current 1/3 pound hamburger patty is 380 calories. While the 1/4 turkey burger checks in at 170 calories. So…

I had used MyPlate off and on...tried getting their app for Android. Found it was no longer available...hadn't been for months. In the gripe thread about the lack of an Android app...someone mentioned MFP and how great it was...how great the app was. Here I am! Love it! :-)

Welcome aboard! I also started my journey here with 100 pounds to lose. Thanks to the tools here, all the friendly supportive MFP friends, this forum and my wonderful wife...I'm well on my way to that goal. Just remeber you didn't get where you are overnight and likewise the change won't happen overnight. Make it a…

Welcome aboard! Just been here around 6 weeks myself and it's been working great!

Welocme to the journey! Like yourself I haven't done vegetables. Corn is the only one I ever ate. But a few weeks back I too did the lettuce on a sandwich and lived. ;-) Also tried spaghetti using spaghetti squash...was alright...just a different texture. So I continue to try something new here and there as I make my…

Doing my first cruise soon too. Soooooooo ready for October to get here.

Amazing transformation!! Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on getting your old self back. Very inpirational!!

Good job!! Keep on keepin' on.

Awesome achievement!! Thanks for sharing. Very inspirational!!

Born and raised in Rochelle. But that was many moons ago...Vegas is home now.

Welcome aboard!! We joined around the same timeframe and like yourself I'm finding the app in combination with the forums to be working fantastic for me so far.
