I killed a dishonest, dirty scale once. I got on and it LIED to me telling me I had gained some pounds when I had been good all week. I kicked it to death!!!!! Liar that is was!!!!!

I came home last Friday, after having a GREAT day and proceeded to eat about 1200 calories or so-ON JUNK!!!! I was so upset I did not fill out my diary until the next day!!! We all will go there at some point!!!

That I am a survivor and I perservere!! The older I get the more I know that what we are on the outside (though I do believe we should try and be healthy and take care of ourselves-that is why I am on MFP) does not matter near as much as who we are on the inside. Having said all that-I like my smile (always) and my legs…

I do think some conditions can be improved by a better and more healthy diet and regular exercies BUT I do agree with the other MFP advisors. Even if diet and exercise could improve her condition some, she will need to be at a place in her life to make the changes. If she is not there she will feel judged and may stop…

The best way is to only eat when you are hungry and stop when you feel full. But full is not, "I think I ate so much my stomach will burst and I will die." Sadly, that has been my idea of full many times! It is difficult to do though but I say keep trying. This I say to myself!!

I am encouraged. I have been struggling but you guys have all encouraged me WOW!!

You should be VERY encouraged by 14 pounds in 3 weeks. That is a lot to lose in a short time span. I believe the average weight loss is about 1-2 pounds per week with a little higher the first week. Just keep plugging away and just think of where you can be by October, November, December, etc. Just take it one day at a…

I forgot all kinds of ice cream and of course coffee. So I think I will need at least 5 items.

1. Assorted Chocolates 2. All kinds of Sushi 3. Grilled Steak

A skinny cow ice cream!!! You can get them for about 100 calories and they have fiber. A regular size popsicle freeze pop is around 25 calories and a great summer snack. I also love a mixture of sweet strawberries (1 cup 50 calories)and blueberries (1/2 cup about 40 calories) with a little reddi whip (15 calories for 2…

Wow did I need this. I do know this stuff but when that nasty old scale begins to dictate my day-I sometimes start to listen. I only weigh weeklyBbUT the loss has really slowed down (only 3 pounds this) so I have been weighing a couple times a week. So today I am up by .6 pounds from my last weigh-in AND I HAVE BEEN GOOD!…

I think the machines can be off if they do not take your weight. I have went to other websites for calorie burn and they are just as inconsistent. I will take the lower one if I know it. But I have used the higher (mfp) when I know it was too low on the machine register.

i have done WW but do not like it. I would prefer to count calories and be able to come closer to eating what I want. With WW the points seem to be totaled so as to keep you from eating higher fat foods or meat. I get fuller faster on meat so I starve on WW. Some people really love it and it works for them.

Try not weigh right after a day or two of heavy eating. You will most always retain water and be bloated. Which will make you a few pounds-or more-heavier. This can be very discouraging. It is best to get back on track QUICKLY and then wait a few days before stepping on the scale.

That is amazing. You look beautiful!

That is amazing, encouraging and inspiring!

Welcome! I, too, thought that all I had to do was exercise. I started walking in January and burned some pounds but then began to put them back on in June/July of this year and knew I had to do something and someone told me about MFP. I have never counted calories but now love it (only been doing it for 3.5 weeks)!

Do you ever thrift store shop? You can find nice basics like dress pants and skirts in thrift store.
