You can do it and this is the site. Would love to support you. Always looking for new friends to keep me motivated. Claire

I did that the month of September. It took me 3 1/2 weeks to drop 1 pound. You are in a plateau right now. Try adding sodium to your diary, you could have 1-3 pounds in water weight. I added sodium, I threw out my sea salt shaker from my lunch bag that I carry to work and I stopped salting my food for dinner. I then…

Oatmeal- Quaker instant mapel brown sugar is only 160 calories and will hold you until lunch. If you workout before lunch you might need a morning snack after the work out. I always eat a small gala apple for a snack as they are only 60 calories. Honey Crisp apples are now in season and those are my favorite. Hope this…

I do not know about dropping a size a month but I do know that I am still wearing the same size pants I wore when I first started they are just baggy. I hope after I drop another 5 pounds that I will move down a size as I am losing weight all over. I am just no longer busting out of everything. I would focus on cardio to…

NSV - Non scale victory

Congrats to you! Great job!

I had lost 19 pounds and no one was noticing at work because I see them every day. My husband and Son noticed and friends who had not seen me in while. Then I dropped 22 pounds and I had a couple of comments. Then I hit 25 pounds and now everyone is saying... Wow are you loosing weight? Now it is to the point that it is…

I have a food scale $8.00 from target. I weigh the cooked pasta. I also load the pasta as cooked in my food diary.

Congrats on your success on the weight loss and passing the bar! You look great!

You can do it. This is the only thing I have ever done in which I actually lose weight by eating my own food. Feel free to friend me and I will send you some tips so you do not make the same mistakes I made when I started. If you send me a friend request send me a message asking for the tips. This is a great site and there…

Eat an apple. I used to try and watch everything now I only watch my calories.

Yes they are great! Just count out what you should eat and you will love them!

Exercise and start over tomorrow. That's what the great thing is about this site and about your lifestyle change. If you mess up one day, you start over the next. This is not a diet but a lifestyle change and there will be days that we go over. You just make up doing exercising the next week. You can do it.

Beautiful! I totally understand the plateau issue! It took me 3 or 4 weeks (the month of September) to drop 1 pound. Keep on keeping on! You are an inspiration to me. I cant wait until I can hit that 30 pound goal as I have lost 25 but have 35 to go. You look wonderful! Congrats on your success! Claire

I was sick a week ago with nasty cold. I normally eat really bad when I am sick but I was reading online that it takes your body twice as hard to fight against a cold when you are eating unhealthy items and to avoid sugar. I ate soup and crackers Saturday and Sunday, I actually added Louisiana Hot Sauce to my home made…

They do not want to change! I used to be excited when someone would say something to me asking me how I lost the weight. Then I would tell them about MFP and get excited hoping to have some friends at work to support me. This week I am over sharing MFP and just going to say "Thank You" and keep going. They are not serious…

You look great!

I am right there with you. I guess I am just not going to weigh the week I start. Otherwise it is depressing.

I would also have someone measure you. Then get measured in 30 days. I bet you are losing inches but gaining muscle and muscle weighs more. Review and update your profile. Sounds like it needs some adjusting.

Love it!

Healthy Choice Steamers are from 180 to 230 calories

I love those NSV's! They are the reason I am doing MFP..... to fit into my clothes. Congrats on the victory!

Send me a friend request with request for tips as I have tell you what not to do and avoid so you do not make the same mistakes too. Would love to motivate you but I have to tell you, you will get the truth from me but you will love me when you see the scale move!

Great job!

Awesome job !

This is my number one rule. I found out the hard way my first week on MFP. Yes this is the best as you can plan and then eat accordingly. Then I feel great after dinner as I know I am at goal each night

I looked up your weight from Weight Watchers and calculated in your height... ****************************************************************************************************************************** http://www.weightwatchers.com/health/asm/calc_healthyweight.aspx Your healthy weight range is 135 to 169 lbs. As with…

Here's truth... Not enough calories being consumed for your lifestyle/exercise regement. Your eating under your recommended amount and your body is in starvation mode Your eating a lot of processed food. Try adjusting your diet to proteins, fresh fruit and veggies. Plus nothing is logged for your water intake. I have some…

Hugs and love to you and your heart during this time. By the way congrats on the MEGA weight loss! Don't resort to your old lifestyle of eating to drown the pain. Go work out.... not today if you are not emotionally set to work out but maybe tomorrow. Maybe there is a reason for this step back as you do not want to be…
