Mondays QOTD: Eggs, oatmeal, light yogurt, splenda, amys microwavable meals Tuesdays QOTD: Just finding different places to be active. Looked up different parks and trails in the area and brought my bf and dog along. Lots of fun :)

Friday QOTD: I've never actually logged in advance because I like to challenge myself to make healthy choices without prelogging. I might try it sometimes when I know i'll have a busy day, but I like to eat whatever healthy food my body is craving that day.

I've just always thought of it at a regular daily activity so don't log it LOL :)

Thursday QOTD: I found it hardest to give up mac and cheese. It's always been my comfort food and probably always will be. I eat it every once in a while, but try not to because it always has like a bajillion calories :(

I know exactly what you mean!! I do great if I stay at home and make all my own food, but the second something out of the ordinary comes up I find it so hard to stick with!

Having friends on here def helps me have more will power!! :)

Wednesday QOTD: For me it's definitely portion control. I love eating huge plates of food so the hardest part for me is to actually pay attention to how many calories I want to eat vs. how many calories I actually need. Also, not drinking on the weekends and not having a couple of beers in the evenings sometimes sucks!!!

I eat a lot of canned soup, cereal, oatmeal, sutff like that. Not too exciting, but healthy and cheap! lol

You look so beautiful and healthy!!! Great job!!!

Tuesdays QOTD: If I'm having a bad day and have all kinds of intense cravings then I try to log onto MFP a lot. It keeps me motivated, especially looking at the ticker on my profile!! Also I log the foods I want to eat so I can see the horrible amount of calories in them... Usually puts me off of eating it lol

I'm definitely down for drinking plenty of water. I've always had no problem drinking it all day. ANYWAY... I've got the Monday QOTD: So we all know we're all here to lose weight and we all said why we want to lose the weight, but how did you get to the point where you realized you had to do something about it and what…

You look amazing!! So inspiring!!!!

The best tasting is RedStar...I think that's what the brand is anyway

I've used it many times in soups and sauces. It gives it kind of a cheesy taste. It's really yummy and easy just to sprinkle over things. Also great on popcorn!!

I could always use new support and will help keep you motivated!! :) add me too guys

Hey! Welcome! Same thing happened to me....I'm 22 and after highschool kept gaining weight. Trying to get back to my highschool weight!! :) I'll add you!!

Thursday QOTD: I definitely realized how much I love cereal! Sugarfree fudgesicles have gotten me over my sweettooth!! Also, I realized just how crappy I really felt when I was eat junk food all the time. I don't feel bloated anymore :)

Wednesday QOTD: My goal weight is 118 because that's what I was through the whole of highschool before I started gaining weight and I felt comfortable.

Nice to know others have gone through this :)

I've been vegetarian for 9 years and was vegan for 2 of those. I've got plenty of recipes!! :) Feel free to add

I'm vegetarian too. Feel free to add :)

Well I'm only 11 days into the process but I've never felt so confident about being able to lose weight before. MFP has helped me realize how many people are out there going through the same thing. I don't feel alone anymore :) Also I feel much more in control over what I eat already. I agree with you on the whole…

I want to lose weight so I can feel confident again. I felt so good in highschool and knew I looked good. Now I feel self conscious even in front of my bf and I hate it!!! I want to be able to fit all the cute clothes and look good at the beach!!! I need to be more confident to be successful in my career and life because…

Your start weight and goal weight are very similar to mine! Very inspirational!!!

I went to dunkin donuts the other day and have some kinda of flatbread eggwhite and cheese sandwich and it was relatively low cal to if you want more options!! :)

Sounds awesome! I'm up for it!! I'm 22 years old, 5'2 and 149 pounds. Ready to finally lose this weight just need tons of support and motivation !!

Awesome!! GREAT JOB!

Sounds delicious!!!
