lol Rotary phone! Toss!...Piggy bank....keep... one day you can give it to your kids! I found an old cabbage patch doll....THE ONE FROM THE 80s....he was my baby!

I know your pain! I have felt like that all my life. Except for it was my real life sister. She has never been overweight! She was homecoming maid and voted most popular. Well me...I was wrapped up in my shell because I was afraid of criticism! I was made fun of when I was younger. Now no one calls me names or picks at me…

YES! They are very inexpensive and will help you out with measuring the portions of your food!

Hey I know your frustration! I was there myself at one time! Since you are doing strength training you are GAINING muscle! Losing fat but gaining muscle! That muscle that you are building will help in your total fat loss! Keep doing what you are doing at you WILL see results!

Girl we all got days like that. And sometimes those days last for weeks! Once you get into your routine of things it will get easier. Some people just take a little longer to get into that routine just because life happens! Keep pushing yourself! You will find it will get easier and easier!

UGH I know! I LOVE flavored coffee drinks and all the sorts but they are sooo high in calories! I'd rather be losing weight than be drinking on one of those though!! I do have a diet drink every now and then. I have to have some kind of caffeine since I work night shift. To fit my water in, I do mix some crystal light…

Do you know how to swim? If you have a place to go swimming, its a great way to burn those calories and its fun!

I have lost 62 pounds and am still in the same clothes!..LOL But they fit MUCH better now. Before my weight loss I was just about to have to go up another size. Now I'm about to have to go down!:happy:

To me it tastes like baked chicken! It just has some grill marks on it. If you want grilled chicken you'd come out better grilling it yourself. But if you want baked chicken, then go for the KFC!:happy:

This is a great site! And the price is right!...LOL You can view other peoples diary to get some recipe ideas or you can search for recipes in the blogs. I have alot of weight to lose too! How much is alot to you? I have over 100 I want to lose! I am well on my way there thanks in part to MFP!

I have about 150 I would like to lose. I too am concerned about excess skin. But the good thing is that extra skin can be covered up in skinnier clothes!...LOL I have a friend that had a 70 pound tumor removed from her stomach several years ago and she had alot of skin left. But she looked so much better. She could hide it…

WOW!! WTG!!! Very inspirational! Thanks!

Well hello neighbor!...LOL Kosciusko is almost right down the road!...haha

I'm from Mississippi. What part are you from? I'm around the Kosciusko area. Love your profile pic!

If people would take the time to read these articles I wouldn't have to specify anything on the subject. It all speaks for itself. The first article I posted had the title Starvation mode myth. Thus the reason for the topic. I read someones topic last week that really got me to thinking and "fearing" being in starvation…

Oh yes I am impressed with the site also! I am sooo glad they are getting a new app for the ipod touch. That way I can bring it to work with me and add my stuff in without having to remember every little thing. Or if we are thinking of ordering out one night then I can look up the portion size and calories using the ipod.…
