hi tanya! welcome! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: i love food, too! it's been a struggle, but i'm losing slowly but surely - and you can too!

if you're talking about those big metal mallet things with spikes, i think those are called "meat tenderizers", but i'm not sure! and i always do that too! it tastes better to me when it's flatter, for some reason. :smile:

hello! welcome to MFP :bigsmile: i love it here and i'm sure you will too! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

yay! congratulations! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

this is great advice, happy_feet! i've been trying to get off my *kitten* :blushing: and be helpful too. my dad is doing some repairs on the house, so i've been volunteering to help him when i get home from work! i use a very small cup for water, so i usually have to get up and refill it at least every 30 minutes (yikes,…

yikes, that sounds really painful! i have nothing helpful to offer you, but i DO hope you feel better soon! :flowerforyou:

i love cake! CONFESSION: sometimes i eat a really high-calorie dessert in place of dinner. yikes!:blushing: :bigsmile: :blushing: :bigsmile:

oh man - mac and cheese is a major weakness during the holidays! :sad: :sad: :sad:

i did the same thing last night!!!!!!! :blushing: as for binging out of emotion, i just told myself that was a one-time thing and today is a new day - and i WILL be making better choices today! :flowerforyou:

welcome! we're glad to have you here! :flowerforyou:

yum! i LOVE parsnips! i put them in my stir-fry with some giner, garlic, snow peas, onions, sesame seeds, broccoli, and chicken!

welcome! you'll love it here. :bigsmile:

i have heard a lot about this too! i am not too advanced in my work outs so i'm afraid i won't be able to do it! can't wait to hear how it goes for you! :happy:

you GO rach! i am planning on being down 15 more pounds by Jan 1 - let's do this!

Hmm... you know, now that I'm looking back, when I first starting losing inches, I lost a lot in my butt/thighs - and I think that's because I was spending so much time on the elliptical machine! I think it depends on what kind of exercise plan you have going on. but i'm no expert! :bigsmile: regardless, congrats on losing…

welcome! you will love it here! :flowerforyou:

welcome to MFP! i joined a few months ago and it has been a GOD SEND. i had a job at coldstone creamery in college - i was already overweight but once i started working there i gained 40 POUNDS (what can i say? not many customers + 5 hour shifts = a lot of ice cream eating) you will do great! :flowerforyou:

i also want to be in the 240's!

i want to stay within my calories every day for the rest of this week - and also work out at least 4 days this week! :happy:

yay! congratulations! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

i do the same thing every day too! i heard that "muscle confusion" helps with toning and fast(er) weight loss, but i'm not sure! can't wait to hear the answers to this... :happy:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

awww you two are so cute. welcome, prez_beck! you'll love it here! :happy:

88+6=94

thanks for posting this! sometimes i REALLY don't feel like it - but then i tell myself to look at the bigger picture - all these small BAD decisions of not going to the gym add up to me being at the weight i am now - not okay! i tell myself the same thing when i feel like eating a huge piece of chocolate cake!

awwww they are SO cute! :love:

i go through this too - but remember we're here for you! next time try logging on here when you're upset instead of eating. i finally had to start telling myself - eating this won't fill this void i have inside of me. it's been an uphill battle - but eventually i learned that food won't fix what i'm going through. tomorrow…

hey there! this site is AWESOME, first of all! it really helps to see how much you're eating. you are definitely eating TOO LITTLE. you need to be eating around 1500, i would say. try bumping up the calories a few hundred. how long are you working out when you do work out? also - try taking your measurements. when you…

What wonderful wisdom! Thanks so much. I needed to hear this today. :flowerforyou:

well, i haven't been doing so well! i skipped the gym EVERY day this week (but i had VERY good excuses! :laugh: ) 256 when i joined MFP 252 2 weeks ago 254 last week 254 this week yikes. i need to get my butt in gear FAST!
