My aria is being weird
For the past week or so, when i get on my aria, it doesnt say hi or anything, it just gives me a reading right away. Say its 250. Then i get off and get back on, and now it says hi, sensing, step off, thinking ect... And it says 246. Its been doing this constantly... I just dont get it. First reading is always 4-6 lbs more…

I'm so happy with my body lately :)
I feel so much stronger, and lighter on my feet, so much more comfortable, and even, dare I say it, wantable. And part of that came from meeting a man who thought I was sexy just as I was. When I met him I was 20 lbs heavier than I am now... but he never made me feel less than beautiful and sexy. I still have a few lbs to…

ideas for low carb high protein/fiber SWEET breakfasts?
For a long time I was eating eggs and meat and vegetables for breakfast (like a half cup of eggbeaters, some broccoli, and some chicken, ect), and I've had really great results eating like that (dinners are similar although a little more carby). However, in the past few months I can't stomach the thought of anything savory…

Bra size and weight loss
I was going through some of my "skinny clothes" last night, looking to see what fits now (pulled out a few shirts I can wear now I couldn't a month ago :) ) and I found some of my old bras from back in the day. They're 36D. I don't remember what I weighed back then, maybe 135? I honestly don't remember... but I became…

It's been a week - so far, so good
Not really happy with how much I ate on free day, but it IS free day so I don't count that as a slipup. Been under goal every day this week and plan to continue to do so. How are we all doing?
-
Day 3
How did we all do? I'm hanging in there, free day is tomorrow - when I wake up, NOT at the stroke of midnight (much as I wish it was). Still, going to try not to go crazy tomorrow - a small breakfast and then a nice dinner (probably bbq, craving it bad) and a small dessert. Maybe a Bueno bar - anyone else like those? I'm…

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Or is that just a Cali thing? :p It's a new day y'all, lets do it right today - we're five days into May already. Time goes fast, June will be here soon - it'll be nice to look back on June 1st and say "We did it!", or even "I slipped up a couple times, but for the most part I did great". Yesterday was free day for me, & I…

Cheat/Free Days - do you do them?
I've had a "free" day (I don't call it cheat day because it's planned - I'm not "cheating" on anything) since I first started my weight loss. It works for me - if I have a craving for a food, I know it's never more than six days away. It's really helped me stay on track. Originally it was free day, then for a while I just…

Quest bars (and fitness bars in general)
I've just discovered these... I've tried the cookies and cream one, which was amazing, and the strawberry cheesecake, which was straight up awful. But the Quest peanut butter cups are really, really good. Same cals as a Reeses, but a lot less sugar and carbs. I like Odwalla's bars, specifically the Blueberry Swirl, and it…

Welcome and an explanation of this group
I was inspired to create this group because of a post on my friends feed from itsolyo - she said she planned to go through May without cheating. I thought that was a great idea and told her I was in, as did a couple other people - and then I thought, why not make a group for it. But as I was making the group, I thought…

No Cheating May!
The reason inspiration for this forum - itsolyo's idea for a No Cheating May. If you're in, feel free to post in here and let us know. I actually splurged tonight and got an Oreo shake at Jack In The Box, because I'm planning on starting fresh tomorrow, and I'm not going to do my free day this month - just a free meal.…

When did it hit you that you weren't fat anymore?
I used to weigh 262 lbs. I was overweight for about ten years, steadily gaining each year until May of 2012 I said enough, started walking and tracking calories with MFP, and started dropping lbs. Right now I weigh about 155 (my tracker is a little off because I don't adjust my weight if I gain, only if I lose. I was 151 a…

Does anyone use Retin-A?
The weight loss forums didn't seem apropo for this, so i'm putting it here. I've just started using Retin-A, .05 percent, it's less than a week in and people are telling me I look five years younger. I am having a bit of redness and peeling but apparently that's normal at first? Regular moisturizer irritates my skin right…

Before and After: 83 lbs lost in 15 months
When I first took my before picture, I said I would NEVER post it anywhere. I was like, how can those girls post their before's up? I mean I was glad they did, but I just couldn't imagine doing it myself. My before picture was on my old phone, and I found it yesterday - I hadn't seen it in probably 8 months. I had just…

Shopping/fashion NSVs!
It's been a good week :) I went to a San Jose Sharks game with family, and carried my LV mini Alma, and for the first time, I could wear it crossbody. I always usually just carry it by the handle - it was so nice to have it crossbody and not have to think about it. Then I saw this lovely long gray fitted coat when I was…

Trader Joe's No Guilt Guacamole
With greek yogurt. This stuff is amazing...has anyone tried it? Its mixed with the yogurt, but i dont think they add much yogurt, because its very 'guaccy', theres only a vague hint of creamyness from the yogurt, and the flavor is spot on guac. And 30 cals for two tbsp! I'm obsessed :p . now I'm just afraid they'll d/c it,…

Weight loss: my clothes are all too high or too long!
Undies that hit my belly button before, i can now yank up to practically under my boobs... Some undies ive had to throw away. Shirts, because theyre not being pushed out by a big tummy, now hang down past my thighs/butt. Lol...I've bought a few new clothes but i'm trying not too, after my first 20 lbs i went out and got…

Tagatose ( low cal sweetener ) - anyone tried it?
I had never heard of it til i saw it on the NuNaturals website... I was curious so i ordered some. It has 6 cals per teas poon compared to sugar's 15, it tastes just like sugar, does not promote tooth decay, is low glycemic, feeds good gut bacteria, and is naturally occuring in whey and some veggies (its not some weird…

A brilliant idea
(if i do say so myself) :p I was looking for a decent light salad dressing, since ive been upping my greens quotient signifigantly lately... I got some Walden Farms calorie free honey dijon dressing, and it tasted okaaay, but not that great. The light Kraft honey dijon is still 60 calories for two Tbs, which although it…

I only walk right now because my weight hurts my knees if i try to run, but i do a brisk walk, i make sure i work hard and sweat. I started out barely able to do 30 mins, then i went to 45, then for the last two mos…

Success with sticking with it
Motivation, and sticking with a diet, can be so hard... i'm curious how other people are managing... I could always START a diet,i could just never FINISH one, lol. This time though, overeating just isnt an option. (besides that, i'm not on a diet, i'm eating healthier). For example, I'm having a not so great night…

Cooking salmon
I love salmon. I recently bought a big piece of wild salmon at Whole Foods, cut an 8 oz piece, and sprayed my pan with cooking spray. Usually when i get salmon one side has the skin still on it. i always find it a pain to take off the skin when its raw, so i just cook the non skin side first, and then turn it over and do…

Critique my diary?
I'm just curious what peoples opinions are of my food choices. Ive been logging everyday for a few months now. I've been losing pretty good *knock on wood* so far, i had a two week plateau but stayed with it and now i'm losing between 1-3 lbs a week. A little history: normal weight as a child, chubby at 12, discovered…
