I'm blown away by all the people that have taken the time to write back. Thanks for reading and thanks for keeping me motivated :happy:

Thanks for taking the time to read it! I'm always hesitant to post much on here but it's great to know that I'm not the only one that has these moments.

I'm a big believer in moderation. I've been at this for a year and here's a tid bit of what this experience has taught me: I stick to a low cal diet. When I first started I was eating all "real foods" for the first 6 months, which did include some carbs but were in moderation. I focused on green leafy veg, lean protein…

3054 + 62 = 3116 Is it sad that I needed a calculator? :laugh:

Sending a friend request your way! You CAN do this!

so proud of you Beth!

I'm in! I've lost 46 since May 31, 2011 and would like to lose another 50-80 ...hard to say for sure what my end goal is because I' don't remember being less than 185... Another 30 lbs to hit 185. Feel free to add me and we'll walk/jog/run this road together :smile:

Starting Weight: 261 MM Week 1: 226.5 MM Week 2: 225.3 MM Week 3: 225.3 MM Week 4: 222.9 MM Week 5: 222.9 MM Week 6: 222.9 MM Week 7: 219.1 MM Week 8: 217.9 Total MM Loss: 8.6 lbs So I'm happy and bummed. Happy because my average weight loss throughout this challenge was a little over 1lb per week. Bummed because I know I…

Just a note to all my motivated momma's - I sent invites to anyone that had expressed interest in joining the new challenge. if you haven't recieved one and would like to be a part of it send me a private message because obviously all the MM participants are welcome. I just left a note on the new challenge thread saying it…

the outpouring of support and excitement is wonderful! I'm about to send invites to KathereB, Orvett and beezbee. Check your inboxes momentarily. And make sure to post an introduction of yourself to the group please! I'm thinking we may need to cap this. We've got a great group going but I don't want it to get so big that…

jmb6739, bbgirl, LaLaLewi Invitations have been sent! Welcoem to the group. please post in our introductions discussion so we can get to know you :smile:

congrats! dancing along with you!!!

invite has been sent. you may be the only guy in the group but you are more than welcome! (i apologize in advance if at any point in the future you are subjected to women complaining about TOM or bloating etc... :tongue: )

invitation has been sent

sorry! I must have missed you the first time around. I sent you one now. you should get an alert to an invitation/message/request something like that. let me know if there is a problem.

ok ladies, I've created a group for us called Ready & Willing to Change. I made it a private group and I (think) I sent you all invites. At least, I tried to... It may not have worked. Check for an invite and if you didn't recieve one then let me know and I'll try again. Gotta love technology :tongue: I've also started our…

Wow! This is so exciting! I didn't expect so many ppl to jump on board so quickly! YAY!!!! :happy: I'm gonna look into how the new groups function works and try to determine if that would be better than jsut keeping threads in the M&S topic. Keep checking here for more details. What a great start to the day! Lynda

ps: another unofficial weigh in this morning showed I was down .7lb. so I guess all my water drinking yesterday helped with the bloating issue from the weekend somewhat. Gonna stay on track for that today as well. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/396448-new-challenge-looking-for-ppl-serious-about-losing-and-supp Morning girls! Since our group has dwindled in the past few weeks I posted an open topic to see if there is anyone out there looking to join us on our new challenge. Check it out (the link is above) and sign up if you…

I'm a huge fan of Lady Gaga's Edge of Glory. I keep it on my play list for when I have about 10 mins left in my power walk/jog and my legs are done and I wanna slow down. Never fails to pick me back up so I finish strong :smile:

Vent away girl! We all have those moments and this is definitly a safe place to do it. I havent developed an issue with loose skin yet, but I am afraid of that since it seems to be such a common problem for many that lose a significant amount. I was on another forum here and read something I thought was interesting. A lady…

omg! where have I been all weekend?!? I'm so sorry ladies. I was keeping up with the challenge and logging on my phone but my husband was studying this weekend and completely monopolized our computer all weekend. plus i had some relatives in from out of town.... it was madness. but in the best possible way! I kinda sucked…

Love this! lol! I forgot about the SAHMU JJ challenge. Sorry for the duplication, clearly I lacked imagination this week :embarassed: But so happy that you flew through them today. I love that feeling when you recognize that you are capable of doing more and recovering faster than you used to. Great job!:drinker:

If I'm hungry, I eat something healthy like fruit or veggies. If I am just craving something but have no real hunger I go for water, water and more water. Also unsweetened, decaf tea (Im currently on a peppermint tea binge! lol) as long as it a zero cal variety give you some flavor without taking away from your water…

it gives goals based on the stats you give it. "I weigh X, want to lose Ylbx/week therefore MFP says to eat Z". As you update your progress with weight loss, or if you change your goal to lose per week it will automatically readjust. You can also readjust your intake goal manually should you see fit by adjusting your…
