I usually have a "eat what I want night" on fridays evenings. this is the day I weigh in and cheat!! LOL I do feel like it keeps me grounded, and also makes me realize how eating healthy makes me feel so much better than all the high fat foods.

thank you all for all the input.

thanks :)

OH my, you just made me soooo hungry. it looks amazing! glaD you shared this

I have lost 18 lbs. and dont notice as far as how big I look, but, I do notice in the way my clothes fit

great encouraging story. thanks so much for taking the time to share with us. I need to lose 100 lbs. and only down 18 thus far. when I read stories like yours it keeps me motivated.

I have always wanted to try this squash, I think I will this weekend. is the squash low calorie & fat?

I am curious too, do you think it is important that we eat all of our exercise calories? I don't always eat them.

well, I am not from texas. I am your neighbor state...Oklahoma!!

Hey girl, you came to the right place...we are some motivated girls around here!!

I make a yummy chicken salad with greek yogurt instead of mayo

wow, you look great. I am so encouraged by you. I joined MFP Jan 6th. weighing in at 281 lbs. and I am 5'7". all I can say is congrats to you, what a huge accomplishment!!

I need to lose 100 pounds also! girl, you can do it one day at a time. it is easy to let ourselves go but the great thing is, is that we realize we need to make changes. :)

I will add you as a friend. I am at 1300 cal./day as my goal as well. How much weight are you looking to lose?

wanted to say congrats on your weight loss. I am 5'7" and started at 281.6. only down now to 274.6. one day at a time is what I tell myself. :)

first off, don't give up! I am new to this site andd just started my weight loss journey Jan 6th. look how far you have come, 46 lbs. is amazing!

what a great motivation! when people are over weight it is hard to jump into a extreme exercise regimen because it is not only hard on their joints but it is also discouraging when one can't keep up with the others in the group! so,, walking is the best way to start shedding those pounds and getting use to exercising.

welcome to myfitnesspal. I am new as well. I started my weight loss journey jan 6th, but started this site 2 days ago. haven't shed any lbs. yet but will have 1st weigh in on friday. congrats on your 70lb. weight loss, that is a huge accomplishment!!!

but don't get the "sleepy time " tea!! LOL

I started drinking the Celestial green tea in the morning rather than coffee. I put splenda in it and it is wonderful.

Ok, to add to that. I am overweight and want to know if walking will firm that innner thigh area as I loose the weight.

I tried Zumba but could not keep up, I can see where it would burn many calories.
