Looking for a few good friends...
Hi everyone, I've just finished a Biggest Loser challenge at my work/gym, and I no longer have those people to be challenged by or to be accountable to. Well, they are still there, but now that the challenge is over, it's just not the same. I think there will be another challenge starting in mid-January, but that's a long…

bummed out
Last week I was working out real good and watching my calories. Now I'm really sick. I think I have a very bad sinus infection with high fever. So much for working out today. I already ate a piece of cake!!!:sick:

It seemingly came out of nowhere.
A real sucker punch. A full body blow to my psyche. The day had gotten off to such a positive start with my weekly weigh-in. I had posted a loss ... no small achievement considering the circumstances leading up to it. I was walking with a little bounce in my step. I was even, dare I say, feeling thinner. I didn't see it…

Snap-Crackel-Pop just turned into CRUNCH CRUNCH ouch!
I posted a couple of weeks ago about how my left knee was making crackling noises when I bent it but it didn't hurt. Since so many people posted that they had similar issues, I figured I wouldn't worry about it. Well, it's gotten progressively more CRUNCHY sounding to the point that you can hear me straighten my leg from…

anybody want to do dressember with me?
December 1st marks the beginning of 'Dressember' - the challenge for women (or the adventurous male) everywhere to shake up their wardrobe and try ditching the jeans and t-shirts. We're aiming to wear dresses as often as possible - don't worry if it's not practical in the day, you can go for a skirt/top combo if needed, or…

Don't know what to title this thread...tired & disgusted com
I'm tired of feeling sick. I'm tired of sabotaging myself with food. I'm tired of forcing that last bite of food even though I know I'm full and I know I'm on a path of self destruction. I'm tired of that bloated stomach ache and lethargic heaviness. I gained six pounds and it feels like sixty. No more pep talks and "this…

Horrible Diary Day
After doing really well with my calories the first half of the day, I binged on 6 of the homemade cookies that I baked for my husband and stepson, then continued to spiral out of control by eating a McDonald's Angus Burger meal (minus the drink) for dinner, and ANOTHER half dozen of the cookies, all while cancelling my…

Thanksgiving preparation
Ok, it is Thanksgiving week. Traditionally the focus of this holiday winds up being about the food, BUT it should be about friends and family. Part of the reason I need to lose weight is because I have made food a focus for many various reasons; stress, birthdays, holidays, emotions and celebrations of just about any kind.…

Hormonal weight gain?? So frustrating!
So I have been at this for a few weeks now, and have been pretty consistently under my calorie goal for each day and exercise consistently. The first week, I lost 4 lbs. The next week I gained 4 pounds, probably from my mid-month hormonal gain. Then I went down 3 lbs last week, only to gain 6 lbs this week. I feel like I…

People just don't get it
I was talking to a friend tonight and I was saying "I'd love to go out to eat and have someone wait on ME for once" (we're waitresses :laugh: ) and she suggested we go out to eat somewhere. It stresses me out to go out to eat. I get too crazy in the head and think that I'm undoing all the hard work I've done. And she said…

Is this becoming an 'unhealthy' healthy addiction for me??
The things that I'm experiencing on my journey to a ‘healthier me’ is a bit difficult to explain... so I apologise if this make no sense. :ohwell: I’ve been using MFP (on and off) for about a year now, I’ve managed to lose 15lbs so far. Sometimes I seem to go through a period of doing really well, then suddenly... one slip…

Any Other National Guard Wives?
Hi! My husband is in the Army National Guard and I was wondering if there were any other National Guard wives on this site. We have a 9 month old son and my husband is set to deploy next year. I'm trying to meet my weight loss goals before he leaves and keep the weight off while he's gone.

Classmates dislike me and it's driving me crazy!!
So, I'm not the type of person who goes out of their way to make friends. i think it is probably a defense mechanism from when i was in school as a kid. i tend to keep to myself and am friendly, but i am not what you would call social or a "joiner". i've always been fat, and have been 300-345 pounds for the last 5 years...…

Frustrated with myself!! :(
I started out this year strong and focused. Since January I've lost 4 inches in my waist and around 28 pounds. BUT...ever since our vacation in July, my workout motivation has been going in the wrong direction. I used to workout 5-6 times a week. Now, I'm lucky if I get in 2-3 workouts a week. I've gained some of my weight…

Just a bit frustrated / venting

I go to the gym 4x a week for 70 mins and do a very exhaustive workout usually burning approx. 916 calories (ish, since i can't really keep track of my weight training and abs portion of my workout). I have only had two really bad days…
