i love dairy products! haha. i have never had any problems with dairy before.

I am not gonna go as low as Atkins. My dad was successful with under 100 a day. MFP recommends 165 for me, so Im gonna try to aim for around 100 and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

I have PCOS. It may be harder, but it is still possible! Before I fell off the wagon, I had lost almost 30 pounds. I found out the other day that Jillian Michaels even has PCOS and look at her! lol.

I have PCOS. It is hard, but it is still possible! I recently fell off the wagon and gained a lot of weight back. But before I went from a high of 195 down to 165. It was a slow process, but sticking to the 1200 calories a day will do it! Also, if you get diagnosed, you may be put on medication that may help with weight as…

I hope there is still room! Name/ real name: annika27/ Annika Goal weight on May 31st : 170 5/01: 180 5/07: 5/14: 5/21: 5/28: 5/31:

I'm 19 and have about 50 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me!

rapid weight loss can cause gall stones. it happened to me a couple years ago. eating greasy foods is what triggered my pain. i had my gall bladder out and now im great! if you do have to get it out, dont let it discourage you. i lost 30 pounds before i got mine out, and after the surgery i just felt like crap and gained…

I haven't been losing a lot of weight, but I am losing inches in my waist and hips. I stressed about it for awhile, but realized if I'm losing the fat, I'm not going to worry about the number.

I try to not eat at school, and if I do its just vending machine. They have some items labled at "Fit Picks" but that is definitely not true. I would choose the healthy option for a few cents more, but it usually ends up way more expensive. I try my best to bring snacks from home though

On days where I knew I was going over, even by just a little bit, I would just pig out and do horrible, and not exercise. I figured, heck, the day is already ruined. But lately I have realized, going over your calories isn't a big deal, if you don't make it a big deal. I remind myself that even though I'm over, as long as…

i have two pairs of champion running shoes from payless. they are regularly $30-40 but you can usually find some a pair on sale. since i'm not a competitive runner or anything, and i am also on a tight budget, i didn't see a need for expensive shoes. they are super comfortable and great for running!

Kellogg's makes fiber bars that are delicious! I get the chocolatey peanut butter ones at Costco, and you get six boxes in a pack.

I have always had really muscley calves. They look ok on me now because I am big, but I do wonder what they will look like when I lose weight. I have a bigger frame, so I hope I don't look too scary! I am worried about my arms looking weird. Like on the Biggest Loser, the women who lose a ton of weight have flabby arms. I…

there are so many things! pasta, potatoes. i really love carbs :) gummy bears, chocolate. cheeseburgers. cupcakes. pretty much anything bad for me!

When I do it in the morning before I have eaten anything, I have no energy and feel really weak, and I can't work as hard.

Ravioli, breadsticks and salad from Olive Garden. Or a cheeseburger and fries with bbq sauce from Wendys. Man, I miss unhealthy food :(

1. I weighed in on Friday, at 176. That is 3 more pounds! 2. Mistakes are the best way to learn. This is true in every part of life, including weight loss. I've made mistakes in trying to lose weight, and learned what does not work. After my surgery, I though I could go back to my old ways, and keep off the weight I had…

If you like sandwiches, I use Sara Lee 45 calorie bread. I use either ham or turkey and mustard. Its under 200 calories, and tastes amazing. Then of course fruit is always easy. And I love love love 100 calorie pack Oreos!

I say what I feel. I don't go out of my way, and I'm not rude about it, but I make my feelings clear. I have learned a lot of people dislike that about me. But the people who really love me, tell me that is one of their favorite things about me :)

get a big tattoo on my torso. and buy a cute swimsuit and season pass to the local water park!

Thanks everyone! Today was day 4

1. Weigh in: I did not make much progress :( I lost the pound I had gained back, but that is it. I make too many excuses for eating things I know are bad for me. I really need to work on that. 2. Quote of the day: So true! I know I need to love me for others to love me. And if people don't like me, at least I will like…

I hear about things causing cancer all the time. They are referring to the aspartame. Normally the only way they prove it is giving a ton of it to rats, so it's hard to say. I am trying to quit drinking it for other reasons. People often think no calories means its great for weight loss, but that's not true. My dad has…

i will be starting tonight! anyone else who is starting, feel free to add me! we can keep each other on track :)

I also have PCOS, so it is so great to see success stories! You look awesome!

1. 180 lbs. I've gained a pound :( I've been doing bad the last couple days, but I'm getting back on track. I would love to be at 10 lbs lost next Friday. 2. I have a hard time agreeing that everything happens for a reason. It is hard for me to think I became overweight for some reason other than, I let myself get this…

you look so great and so much happier! and you've got some killer legs :)

I am gonna go with Betty Grable, just because I think she is fabulous. I love this quote of hers, becaue it represents my racing career :) “Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes"; They will say, "Women don't have what it takes";” current…

I love the idea! But, I'm not very familiar with the theme, so maybe people could post ideas for leading men and ladies? I want someone sexy, but with meat on her bones. If anyone has any ideas for me, I would love to hear them :) Thanks!
