2 pound gain!?
Okay, So my weigh in day was yesterday and I did a stupid thing by stepping on this scale this morning to ensure I didn't gain, well it said I had gained almost two pounds? I know your weight can fluctuate and it probably did since I was under my calorie goal yesterday but I ate a ton more sugar than I normally do, would…

Derailed....
Well, what can I say I started at mfp Feb 15th, had a great first week loosing 11 lbs, then the second week I started looking at the scale daily, and I was gaining though I was doing things exactly the same as the first week. I don't know if the overwhelming feeling of disappointment took over or I just freak out that that…

need some clarification and dieting tips.....
Ok, so I need a lil clarification or maybe just someone to say..."yeah, that's right!" so I'll quit trying to rationalize it. I keep seeing and hearing how you should "eat all your calories/ points" (I'm doing weight watchers) in order to lose your weight and see results. I understand that eating small meals or snacking…

Extra skin??
For those that have lost 100 plus pounds, and did it through diet and exercise, is extra skin a big issue. I'm concerned that after all the weight loss there will be extra skin even with a lot of exercise. Any input? :ohwell:

I was away for awhile but I'm back
I had been steadily losing as long as I entered all my food and exercise here. I thought I had a good head start (had lost 8 lbs) so I could go it alone. WRONG!!!! I know better!

Is everyone making Easter a "Free" or "Cheat" Day?
Obviously we can't just blow it all today, but with the family gatherings, associated food and candy does anyone have a game plan? I'm trying to eat light all day today and ate a little under my allowance yesterday to prepare for the onslaught of food and goodies. I'm cooking today so I can make some "light" dishes and I'm…

12lb down but I see no difference!?
So I was reallly happy to see the scales drop this week to a total loss of 12lb. From 182lb to 170lb yay!

My clothes still feel about the same and i look the same, even my very kind boyfriend admits I don't look different. I…

Binge eating will kill me.
This might just be a late night so-depressed-after-I-binged ramble but I honestly think that if I go on this way, one way or another, this unhealthy relationship with food will ultimately be the end of me. No amount of weight loss will fix how warped my relationship with food is. Every facet of my life seems linked to when…

inaccurate self image
I was just curious how people perceived their sizes when they were at their largest. When I was my biggest, what I saw in the mirror definitely didn't look they way I looked in photos. Whilst when I was skinny, I thought I was heavier....I was just curious if any other people felt the same when they looked at photos going…
