Birthday cake
Today I weighed and was the lowest weigh I've been since starting mfp in 2013. My daughter's 27th birthday, and I'm baking devil's food cake and making homemade frosting. Going to make sure I get some exercise in, and do my best to save room for that cake in today's plans! I'll be eating a piece about one fourth of the…

Has anyone found a tracking app for the 100 diet? I tried to make mfp tracker work for me but cannot seem to get it right.

apple cider vinegar is disgusting!
not really about weight, but I read on a health magazine web site than an ounce of pom juice and an ounce of apple cider vinegar each day could relieve some osteoarthritis problems, so I tried it-- pom juice, it's okay, not my fav drink but it's okay..... apple cider vinegar, I literally almost vomited, omg how on earth do…

NSV woohoo!
I purchased a new set of wedding rings in size 8, knowing I would get down to that soon (was wearing size 9). It was an incentive for me to keep going, and my husband got a new matching ring also (we've been married 17 years). Picked up my rings today, and they fit already! I cannot believe my finger has already shrunk one…

lord have mercy this is tough!
I push mowed the front yard, took 30 minutes, heart was racing about three minutes into it. My legs are cramping and it made me shakey (heat index is 101 right now). I think old fat people shouldn't mow the yard in the heat! Ha ha, but I will do it again for sure, had no idea it would burn 328 calories! I might become a…

Do I really have to worry about macros?
The macros are making me crazy. As long as I am taking in enough calories and not going over on calories, are they really that important? I go over every day on fiber and sugar, not way over, but a little over. I almost always fall short on protein and carbs. it is making me crazy because pretty much every carb I eat has…

the funniest support ever
My son is 22 and has a mental disability which makes him mentally 5-6 years old. He is trying to be supportive though (hears his dad doing it) so it was so funny this morning when he said "so how many pounds you weigh now mom?" and I said 262 and he said "golly that's a lot!" then ":laugh: you're doing good" ha ha, so funny

i usually get pizza from pizza hut. Tonight I found a calorie calculator on the Dominos web site where you can load what pizza you are ordering and it will give you the calorie count. Just awesome. And thank goodness I've banked some calories today because with all the cake work I have to do tonight for weddings tomorrow,…

I am proud of me!
This morning my husband said, "let's go get your cake boards and go get some breakfast"- now when he says go get some breakfast he means fast food biscuits and hashbrowns- and I said "ok". I thought about the sausage cheese biscuit I usually eat for breakfast, and truly it was not tempting to me this time- for today, my…

for the emotional eaters
Those of you who have bad food relationships that developed since you were a small child, the ones who know surgery or lap bands would not work for them because they would still overeat, because it's not about physical hunger when you eat too much or eat the wrong things- I'm talking to you. Just curious, if someone could…

not giving up!
Only day 3 for me, frustrated and stressed, but reading the success stories on here give me hope, and I'M NOT GIVING UP! It took me 17 or 18 years to get to this point, so it isn't going to reverse overnight.
