i agree you said it all and well said!!

Thanks Mollie for another great post and it is so true, if think diet i think yucky food and i can't do it and my mind starts to play tricks on me until i am eating out of control. By making healthier choices and portion control i feel much better and WANT to eat the veggies and fruits etc...:flowerforyou:

congratulations that is awesome hope to be there soon also!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

to be rather safe than sorry, i usually deduct about 30 min from the time i acutually exercised that way i am certain i got in the workout i wanted maybe way off but it works for me.

Welcome everyone this site is awesome and the support from other members is hard to describe. I am finally havng some success. Its a slow process but i figure time is gonna pass and i can either get healhy or stay the way i am and be miserable in a year from now and beyond! wishing you all much success on your personal…

wow you are doing awesome and look great, thanks for the inspiration to keep moving forward!!

i am not sure either and will be interested to see what ppl have to say on this. When i go swimming and log moderate effort, it says i burn less calories then when i go and log in leisurely swimming for the same amount of time. whats up???? thanks for the post, i am pretty sure we aren't the only ones wondering. also when…

yes i had the spaghetti squash and it is great, you can make any pasta dish with it

I know that guilt feeling if i don't get up and exercise on a regular basis, i feel worse and more tired. Do you have any time in the morning? Maybe get up a half hour early and do a dvd or something? I find if i exercise early in the morning i am pumped for the day but if it gets past like 2 or 3pm i start telling myself…

oh man the great scale LOL, i can't weigh often cause i get so down if i don't see progress. So if i weigh only once a month and only see a 4 or 5 lb loss, i am happy to see those numbers and don't think about how long it took me to lose those. If i weigh weekly or every two weeks and see a 1 lb loss or no loss at all i…

congratulations on the weight loss and welcome back to the site, it has been such a great tool for me! Wishing you much success on your journey to healthier eating and living.:flowerforyou: :smile:

I think it is fine to have pizza once in a while it is one of my favorites. I keep a couple michaelina's lean gourmet pizzas in the freezer for when i am craving pizza and have already had the "delivery" or "take out" once in that week or two week period. They are really good and the serving is sufficient too. Priced right…

I have to really watch my easy days, one will turn into two and then three and then pretty soon they are all easy, then no exercise at all, then comes the not watching what i am eating and boom disaster strikes!!!! Enjoy your happy easy day!!:flowerforyou: :smile:

i would have him see a Dr. and get the ok to exercise. Ya never know headaches can be caused by any number things. Just to be on the safe side. Probably nothing but better safe than sorry.

I also do the majority of my exercise in the pool, for me i have found being in deeper water i keep moving , due to having to tread water, when i start to feel tired i will take a couple of minutes and just float on my back gently kicking my legs and moving my arms, i just make sure i keep moving and i know that i am…

i can relate!!!! This past weekend i went to a huge campout/picnic and I ate some bbq ribs, chips and a ding dong---- NO MORE!!! The next day my body was screaming at me what have fed me?? yuck i didn't like it and now you are gonna pay I was so sluggish and felt so yucky, i am so happy to be home and have my healthy stuff…

i input the amount of time and let MFP do the calculations, it has worked so far. So i am just going with MFP

MIchaelina's light gourmet frozen entrees are great, they are as good as the more expensive brands, they are on sale here all the time for usually a dollar for one. The pizza is really good, satisfies my craving for pizza and saves me money!!!! :flowerforyou: :smile:

I was always told to eat first also so that is what i do, even when i don't feel like breakfast i eat it anyway. Seems to help me keep up with the day. I am glad you posted this, interested to see what others think. have a great day:flowerforyou:

Wish I could help ya here but the only answer for me is not to drink at all. As a recovering addict, one drink will lead me to two then to countless numbers and alot of trouble so.... and you did a great job with the justifying LOL!!! I would have to say vodka and grapefruit juice was always a good summer drink, but then…

welcome and you are right we can do together, what we cannot do alone!!

i have also heard the "scared to leave the house" thing more than once, think i am gonna stick with MFP, healthy eating and exercise. it is working so far!!:smile: :flowerforyou:

that i so true thanks for the reminder Molly and congrats on 20, that is wonderful!! have a great day.

i am interested in knowing about this also thanks!:smile: :flowerforyou:

where do i go to see the pictures? would love to check them out

Thats a good question Molly! I have had a problem with this night eating forever so here is my solution. I used to eat horrificly fattening foods, like a fried bologna grilled cheese and not just but one but two and then go to bed!!! yikes and i wonder how i gained all this weight. I still have not been able to stop the…

i don't have that game however you can google wii games and it will give you a list of sites that tell you about different wii games and exercise from wii and calories burned that is how i found out about my cals burned with wii. hope it helps. have a successful day!!:flowerforyou:

my experience with that was it turned a week into two weeks and so on..... until I gained all my weight back except for 9 lbs, I believe if i would have been able to get back on track after a week i would have been ok in the long run. Instead it turned into a major disaster. I recently logged back on MFP and am losing…

same place as yours!! I am not confused today, I cannot do anything without God in my life. I had to learn that the hard way but today I am blessed in so many areas. Even when things go horribly wrong i realize, keep the faith and i am gonna be ok. God has not brought me this far to drop me now!!!!:flowerforyou:

voted for ya and hope you win!!
