Trying this for the 2nd time, determined to make it work!
hi everyone, I'm an 18 year old student - I tried this last year but wasn't very serious about it. But now I've never been so heavy (218lbs). It really effects my confidence when I'm with girls, having photos taken, swimming etc. I really want to lose about a stone by early July because I have to give a big speech in front…

Still confused
Ok so my question is should I make my "food" number on my homepage match my "goal" number for example, my "goal" is 1200 and I've eaten 1089 so far.... Let's just leave out exercise for now to make it simple for me....

are we sometimes congratulating people for undereating? Loo
OK I am going to piss some people off with my post but...here it goes. I will start by saying that I love the support, energy and community here at MFP. I know that we all share common goals of being fit and healthy, and many people are trying to lose weight, etc. I think it is great that people take the time to encourage…

Intro and question about All of these extra MFP calories
OK- I've finally humbled myself enough to reach outside myself and post publically. I do not do well with a lot of well meaning suggestions view the word "diet" as taboo and defeating- in and of itself. I've been overweight through out my whole life, but in light of the fact that when I graduated from high school, to weigh…

I'm a Rookie !!
Hello, I'm new to MFP and so far it's working great for me. Out of all the other diet tools I've tried, this is the best! No counting points (urrrgh!), no sticking to the same foods all the time. I'm eating healthy, working out and I am staying withing my calories and am actually seeing results! YAY!!! :bigsmile:

NEW GIRL...well, sort of.
I was on here before, but due to getting a new laptop, I didn't remember my old username's password because it was saved on my old laptop. Yeah, silly me. Anyways, I decided to just make a new account. No big deal. I would love to get some support from people. I'm 22, 5'4, and almost 150 lbs. I'm looking to lose about 20…

new (:
Hello everyone! Today is my second day using the site and I love it so far (: Last spring I was weighing in at my highest of around the low 160's. Late June I was 156 and decided to really push myself and was able to hit 129, but by mostly unrealistic fasting, and restricting. In late February I had to be given a sudden…

Losing Weight
It seems like I have been on a diet my whole life (almost 55 years.) I have managed my weight pretty well, though I seem to gain and lose the same 5-10 pounds on a regular basis. I have been slow to learn that managing your weight is about balance and moderation, not sacrifice and deprivation. It is about teaching yourself…

Helllllloooooo NURSE!! Broke 20 lbs lost thanks to MFP
Hey all, I'm a RN going to NP school, and I can't be a FAT practitioner talking about diabetes, weight loss, metabolic syndrome, obesity when I'm a fat-*kitten* myself, so here's my story: A year ago, I trained for a 5K and my knees started bothering me as they do sometimes. Got some x-rays and the doctor told me I have…

Dedicated to becoming Healthy!
My husband and I started on our weight loss journey about mid-February. He weighed in at 264 and I weighed in at 266 (heaviest). I cannot blame my overall weight gain on having my two girls. The reason for my weight gain is due to depression. Around 2004, I was in a terrible relationship (no abuse, just cheating). By the…

Second Time
The first time I started MFP was almost a year ago. Two months after I started, I found out I was pregnant with our second baby, so this went on the back burner. I am now ready to loose all the baby weight and I'm hoping this will help! I've tried WW in the past but it was expensive for us and with kids and a husband who…

Excited about myfitnesspal!
I discovered myfitnesspal through Fitness Magazine and I'm really loving it. I'm finding it to be a very useful tool for integrating exercise and nutrition and educating myself on making healthy choices. I appreciate how user friendly the site is and love the ability to personalize any of my food and excercise entries.

new to the boards
Hello everyone. My name is Nancy. I have been using my fitness pal for about a month but only just decided to try the forum. Lately I have been struggling with my diet and figured I could use some extra moral support. As well, perhaps I could in turn help someone else. My goal is to lose another 30 pounds.

The first two days I dropped a few pounds( i was so excited) but when I weighed yesterday, I had gained them all back and I haven't done anything different. I drink LOTS of…

Rock Bottom
This time last year I weighed 150lbs on my 5'1'' frame and wanted to lose about 15 lbs. In the past year I have somehow gained 20 lbs and I now weigh 169.2lbs. I promised myself I would never allow myself to get above 160 and here I am nearing the 170 mark. I am officially at rock bottom. I need to lose this weight for my…

New Pal Here!!!
Hi there :) My weight loss journey started about 5 years ago when I (5'2) weighted 207lbs and was a size 22. I love food and never thought I would be able to lose any weight. I am happy to report that I'm now down to 135lbs and a size 2/4. I went on a low calore diet which led to a lifestyle change and was able to shed…

How successful is a no-bread or starch diet?
I am thinking of trying not to eat any bread, white rice or pasta for a month. Has anyone tried this tactic before? How successful were you?

The last time I decided it was time to lose the weight (again) was 3 years ago after having 2 preemies within 9 months of each other and moving.…
