Everytime you want to grab for the bad stuff, do 15 jumping jacks first and drink a big glass of water. I allow myself everything, in moderation. I just don't by big amounts of bad foods- like someone else said, I buy ONE candy bar... or put stuff in our guest bedroom closet (like small bags of chips) so my husband can…

Right now my number one favorite is LMFAO "Party Rock Anthem"... it definitely gets me motivated. It's a little cliche, but Kanye West's "Harder, faster, stronger" song is the ultimate PT song for me and my husband.

I make sure to get in at least one calcium type of food a day: milk, cheese, yogurt. I know I definitely don't get near what I should. A glass of skim milk every morning is my first goal to increasing calcium intake.

How true! It only takes one negative comment to break someone's dream- a site like this is a site for support, not negativity! I haven't run into much, but I just started as well. It's sad that we can't be a supportive community for others!

First, it is the most awkward event ever no matter what size, I'm sure- to be lying there naked and exposed as some stranger looks at your girly bits. It's cold, clinical, and scary! I know at my OB/GYN he has these funny posters on the ceiling to try to relax ladies a little- it works a little better than at my old…

A tip I do when I get a box of pasta and it says x servings... I get "x" baggies and divide it dry... usually the dry weight is the serving they suggest.

hmm... I'm curious as well! I know I usually have between 50-300 calories left every day, whether they are exercise or not. I just started this weekend, but have been eating them, for the most part. I feel that you have to provide your body with the energy and nutrition. Take care of it, and it will take care of you :D

I am 26, looking to lose over 100 lbs off my body. I just started this week and think motivation/support are super important! Anyone can feel free to add me :D

Well, today is my second day on MFP, but have been on the journey for a while. Kicking it up a notch and getting down to business. Motivation and accountability are huge! Anyone can feel free to add me!

Oh, I definitely agree that women are hateful, catty you-know-whats! I was always the fat girl in the group and my skinny friends found it hard that I could be competition for guys or whatever their problem was. You find out who your friends are real quick between the motivators and the downers. YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFESTYLE!…

I guess I really have nothing new to add- I have a case of Diet Dr. Pepper in the garage. Every week I bring five inside to the fridge. That's my weeks supply. Sometimes I'm bold and only do 4. I'm cutting down from a regular coke drinker to diet and less than a can a day. Cold turkey was rough for me, like so many others,…

Thank you all! I was thinking yes, to eat them- but your so trained to want to stay away from fat that as the number kept going red, I got more scared of it. Human conditioning! Thanks... the first day is confusing, I am already planning tomorrow to set it up to be better leveled!

When you wake up tomorrow, be better than today! Little slip ups are a stepping stone to better knowledge- next time you'll know what is an indulgence and will maybe pick smaller portions. Chin up- you can rise above today!

I'm not sure I could live that strict of a diet. My doctor has not said anything about it with my PCOS and has merely suggested change in diet and exercise to promote a general weight loss of as little as 10%. I'm sure it depends on how your stacking on the lbs. though. I will be interested to see if this is some sort of…
