Waiting for you Day... got a space that will fit you just beautifully! See ya soon!

Agree with Arielle... it just takes time. I've gotten to the point where if I eat more than 500 cals in 1 sitting, I feel a bit ill for a about 30 minutes afterward. Basically, I eat about 1/2 of what I used to eat.... particularly if we're talking pasta, but I'll also only have 1 hamburger instead of 2... just depends on…

Hey Bleu, Thanks! I appreciate the support! Can't wait to see you here too ;-)

Hey Fluffy! Just 6 short months ago, ONEderland seemed very far away for me too... but you know, it was a great journey and getting closer and closer was very exciting. Enjoy the ride and just stay focused on your goal. You'll get here before you know it!

Thanks J! I appreciate it!

Hey Jen, It IS a GREAT place to live. Hope to see you here soon. I'll hold the door open for you! ;-)

Hey Mandie! Thanks and congrats on your move too! That's AWESOME!! Nice to meet some of my new neighbors! ;-)

Hey Day... well you and I both know how difficult those guards can be.... they kept me out for a few weeks too. One day, they all just moved to the side and I slipped over! Be vigilant... they have to take breaks some time! ;-) Can't wait to see you here too Day!

Hey Anne, All I can tell you is, as you walk down the street and the house numbers get smaller, each house is prettier than the one before... and there's PLENTY of real estate here.... so come on over just as soon as you can! ;-) See you soon!

Hey Nehushtan! Thanks for that AWESOME welcome! LOVE THAT!! This is an awesome place to be. I truly had given up on ever being able to get here....it was a distant dream, but one I never thought I would realize again. SOOOO happy to be here and better yet.... to KNOW I'll never go back! The confidence is the biggest and…

Hey Purple, The view is definitely GREAT over here. I've never been so happy to live somewhere as I am here! I'll look forward to seeing you here soon! Keep working it girl!

Hey Tag, I think, eventually, we're going to need new housing developments in ONEderland.... all these MFP people are going to need to move here too! ;-)

Thanks Mom! :-)

Thanks Mrs.... hang in there. You'll get here! ;-)

I know the feeling! I can't wait to be overweight too! HA!! I DID, however, make a permanent move to ONEderland today... and THAT was a HUGE success for me. I haven't lived in ONEderland since about 1997 and that was only briefly... This time... it's FOREVER! Seems we're celebrating together today. Congrats girl! Keep…

You have a lot to be thankful for! That's wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your progress. MFP ROCKS!!

The subject line intrigued me.... what's ONEderland, then it hits me.... she dropped below 200! I'm trying to move (I originally typed, take a trip, but I want to LIVE there, not visit!) to ONEderland too! I'm all packed and very close to going, but I have a little more work to do. Hopefully in 1-2 more weeks, I'll be…

Hey J, Well, as much as I want to get a bike, I don't know if I could keep up with you! HA! Hope you find a biking partner. Could be fun and beneficial to both of you. Tell me more about those extreme bike trails. Sounds interesting. I didn't know there were any trails like that in PC.

@ Chevy88Grl: Congrats on reaching your goal! You look fantastic!

HA!! Love that whole post PatientBearTiger!!! I would say I don't eat much fast food anymore, but I don't think I've totally given up anything. I'll still have the occasional bit of chocolate, or a french fry, or a small bag of chips... just not every day and in MUCH smaller doses. I have become MUCH more conscious of my…

Keep going Yvonne! You're doing it! Veronica ;-)

Way to go Lisa! Just keep it up and those pounds should fall right off! :-) I can't believe I've gone from 10 to 24 lbs since my last post to you! This site really works. Hang in there.:glasses:

Welcome! Just 1 month ago, my ticker said "0" lbs lost.... now it's 13!! You're right when you talk about this like it's a journey... it truly is. I've been learning so much about myself and this site has really helped me. The words of encouragement from people on here are just so nice. I've recommended this site to so…

Welcome! I joined this site just a little over 3 weeks ago. I've lost 10 lbs as of today and I'm LOVING this site. I find it motivates me to exercise and I'm a MUCH more mindful eater. I've had weight issues almost my whole life, so this is such a blessing for me. Good luck and really work hard not to go over your allotted…

In agreement with Suave. Think of it like money. That's helping me. Let's say you signed up for 2 lbs per week and it's saying you can consume 1200 per day, that's like your gross pay check. If you exercise, then take out 300 in taxes, so you net 900 (cals). You'll lose more than the 2 lbs (or whatever number you set as…

I'm not of a similar build either, but I would think anything that does not require weights would probably be your best bet, and I would also say try to make sure you're working out all parts of your body with the same intensity (in other words, walking versus bike riding)... just my thoughts.

Sorry this happened to you. I remember one time at a carnival, wanting to go on a ride with my kids that I used to ride with my sister years ago when I was a teen. Who knew the rides got smaller with age! HA!! That darn bar that came down over my head and BARELY snapped into place at my waist, about killed me! I could…

All great ideas here. I'm brand new here, so I don't have as much experience as some of the veterans, but I would personally figure out how many calories 1 hamburger or hot dog (with or without bun) would "cost" me, and I would do the same for every other food I think I might want to eat while at the picnic. I would also…

Hey Tanya, I'm sorry, but I haven't heard of this before. Are you finding yourself hungry a lot of the time? I may have some ideas to help. Veronica :smile: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Hey Tanya, I have never heard of this before, sorry. Veronica :-)
