My Motivation Has Left Me
I need help. I'll tell a little first... So, I started my journey a little over 2 years ago now. And as usual, lost easily in the beginning. Once the weight started becoming extra hard to remove, I changed my approach. I began more intense exercise, weights combined with cardio 4-7 days a week. Upped my caloric allowance,…

Input Please!

Weighing Fruits ?
This is such a newbie question, but I don't care for fruits, but when I do consume I'd like to be accurate. Do you weigh the whole apple? Core included? And banana, weight with, or without skin? I know, I know. Stupid... But I'm curious!

360 Days of MFP
360 Days as of today, has lead me down the path of losing 73 lbs. (Sorry, no pics :-( ) I had hoped to have lost more, but am thrilled to be here. I weigh less than I did when I graduated high school. I was diagnosed with diabetes a year ago. That scared me more than anything. With my NP, we had a game plan of me losing…

Anyone have luck playing with calories?
Has anyone tried or noticed better results with alternating caloric intake? Such as 1200 calories this week, 1400 next... Just keeping it a little different?

How About This For Motivation?
I took my BMI when I started this journey 9 months ago, and mone currently. There is just over an 11 point difference! Wow. Its so easy to fixate on the scale, your clothing size. We often over look over these accomplishments as well.

Why Do You Want to be Thinner/Healthier?
Besides obvious benefits of health, what motivates you? What is waiting at the end of your journey? For me, I'd like to be able to ride horses without the guilt of breaking their backs. I'd like to buy for style once in a while. And, a big middle finger for all the people who made negative or nasty comments on my weight.
