Invest in a pressure cooker...makes quick really tasty meals...my fav. Chicken stew. In fact that is what I am making tomorrow.

@ kimberly702 - awesome way to get motivated to do that exercise...I am so exhausted, just holding my head up feels like exercise.

Monday NSV - had to put away a pair of my jeans into the fat jeans pile...pulled out a few of the skinny jeans and they are comfortable now. BTW, I have 270 as a goal for thanksgiving but I would really like to hit it this month. That would only be 12 pounds this month...I think that is do able!

Hi everyone! I'm new here. SW as of last Wednesday (my weigh-in day) was 281.4. I am looking forward to reading all about your journeys on here. I log in daily and will try to check this page daily as well. Can't stay too long tonight. Still have to finish a paper for grad school which is due by midnight. Been having a "I…

I am interested. I started on MFP a little over a month ago and I have already lost 19 pounds and I am down 39 pounds from my highest weight. I still have 110 pounds to get to my personal goal of 170. I have done this before but could never get to the point of keeping the weight off. I need to do this for my health...I…

I think that I am going to try my hand at making my own spice blend and using lite salt and measuring it. No salt in the spice blend that way I can more closely control my salt intake...at least when I eat at home.

1. I usually hit my water but I will make sure that I do that this week! 2. Exercise is still something hard for me but I will try to work it in this week/month 3. I have been overweight most of my life. I went on my first serious diet when I was 8 years old. I already weighed over 130 pounds. Over the years things have…

I am totally down. I was inspired and challenged by the august challenge. I was so proud of myself for doing really well at it too!

I am 5'7" and my goal weight is 170. I am current 286 and I know that 170 is a little heavy. I think that I will be about a size 12 at 170 and I could live with that. I have never been thin so when I get there I will see how I feel and decide if I want to keep going. I still have so much more to lose I am not looking to…

I love all the support and the accountability that having friends bring to the table.

I love pasta but I try to limit it to once a week and only 1 cup at a time.

I would say don't do it. This in coming from someone who did. I loved it when I had it but the negative attention that I got from men was not worth it. I don't like being treated like an object and that is what I became. Perhaps I was just not strong enough to say no and think more highly of myself but even if I could…

Might depend on the person but I mine did not heal fully when I took it out. You can still see a big hole where it ripped on the bottom.

That was so mean! Poo on her.

my sodium is always too high but I am not sure how to really lower it. I don't salt at the table ever and I cook with the least amount of seasoning containing salt that I can. I do eat lunch meat and canned soup because I work 12 hours a day. I am sure that it has something to do with not getting enough sleep too. I also…

Wow! I never thought I would find people out there that suffer in similar ways that I do. Addison's and diseases like it are potentially fatal and need to be treated. I have been on Steriods since I was 2 to deal with a similar condition that causes my adrenal glands to not make coritisol. Weight management on steriods is…

Might make me I was way over on my calories... :(

Lost 8.6 pounds this week!!!! 7/29 300 8/5 296.2 8/12 287.6 Got 8 glasses of water everyday, but did not workout at all. :( Will be doing some heavy cleaning of my house this weekend so that should count for something. Only went over my calories 1 day this week...eek (never eat angry). I find that eating out really skews…

Perhaps you are overestimating what you are eating and the portion size throughout the day. That could account for your lack of weightloss.

Sorry I am a bit late in posting. I am down 3.8 pounds this week as of Friday 8/5.

It's mid week...how is everyone doing?

Share you diary so we can see what you are bored with...I made mini pizzas last night and they were yummy!!!

Super! Doing well so far today! One day at a time...

I'm in. Let's keep each other motivated!

For me it is an addition that makes me eat a lot. I have a contast battle within myself everyday about food the way that most addicts have with their drug of choice. This site might be just the AA I need.

tortillas work great, both flour and corn depending on your taste

Mine is 1880. I weigh 300 lbs right now and I led a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I am working to incorporate at least 2 days of exercise.
