New and bloating question
Hi I am new to the board but not new to the yo yo. I recently lost 30 lbs about 2 years ago, went from a size 14 to a size 6, now up to a size 10. I have started working out again and am dedicated and focused on keeping exercise and healthy eating a part of my life. That being said, I do have a question that maybe someone…

Trying To Cut Calories

Use spray butter or sugar-free jams on toast and breads, avoid butter. 3. Drink low or non-fat milk products and use them in…

Hello new friends!
Hi there! I joined this site yesterday, and I'm very excited about it. I'd been planning to start to write down my daily food intake - actually procrastinating about it for a while now. I stumbled upon two references to this site, so I thought I'd check it out. LOVE IT so far! Congratulations to all who have been…

I'm down here on the bottom with you
Hello all, I just joined today. So I hit my bottom a few weeks ago when I realized that I didn't really look at myself in the mirror. Don't get me wrong I put on my make up in the morning and do my hair and do a little one over of my outfit, but I've been doing it all without really LOOKING at myself. I got married last…

Have I Finally Hit Bottom?
Hi everyone. I just joined this site today and this is my first time posting. I've been overweight for about 8 years - since I stopped drinking. This has become my addiction now and, believe it or not, has more hold on me than alcohol ever did. Today I faked being sick so that I could stay home from work because all of my…

hey everyone
Hi. I signed up for this website a few months ago but haven't really stuck to it. I'm looking forward to beginning this journey of hard work and dedication. I can't wait to be like a normal 21 year old and not have to worry so much about how certain clothes look on me and what i can and can't wear. I can't wait for…

Hello Hello!
Hi All! I was sent to this site by someone at one of my jobs who has had great success here. I'm hoping for the same! I'm a nursing student with 3 jobs, a 5 year old DD, two step kids and a DH. So yeah, I stress eat. I have gained a ton of weight this semester, and it makes one of my jobs, coaching cheerleading, very hard.…

Hey Lu....Introduce yourself....
The title reminded me of a cheer we used to do a LONG LONG time ago. I'm known as the cheerleader. My name is Lu. (My real name is Stephanie, but online my alter ego is Lu). I'm a skinny person trapped in a fat body. But I'm doing something about it. I have been a member of another weight loss site for going on 3 years now…

a belated re-introduction
Hi all, I am not entirely new, but took a few months off (probably around 8 months) and I have the extra pounds to prove it.. :grumble: :grumble: I am a working mom with a very supportive and loving DH and 2 DDs (12 and 9). When I am not working or taking care of my family (when is that?) I like to ride horses. I've done…

I'm baaaaaack!
Just wanted to say hello. I have been on a horrible break from watching my weight, and have gained 20 lbs back. I used to be here on MFP quite a bit, and I see tons of new people. I'm feeling so tired and fat that I've decided it's time to get back with it, and the week of Christmas-isn't that going to be hard! I just…

Hello Everyone.,
Well I'm here trying to regain control before it is completely out of control. I lost 25lbs about 6 months ago and now I'm starting to regain it. I always back track when I hit my current wt. I guess its my cryptonite. My wt. goal is 190 and I need to achieve that goal. Wish me luck and good luck to all.

Hello, All!
I am starting over, yet again! I joined in March (wanting to lose 35 lbs) and lost 7 lbs. I used to travel for work 80% of the time and had a hard time being diligent on excercise and food (especially with all the lovely dining out I had to do on business trips!). I am now 40 lbs overweight and am worried about my health,…

Starting today
Good Morning from Oregon! I am new here. Joined last night. I used to belong to another weight loss site over this last year from time to time. But have found this MFP giving me free what I used to pay for. I am just about at the same point I started a year ago trying to lose weight. So decided to start again. \ My 36 yr…

A little belated...
I put the cart before the horse and posted several times in the last week without properly introducing myself... sorry for the breach of etiquette! My story: I started to get pretty heavy around the 5th grade, then really grew all through college (too many late nights and trips to Wendy's!). After college, I topped out at…

Hi! I'm new here.
I am hoping that this time I will be successful in losing this weight. I've dieted and I've exercised and tried it all. In high school I weighed 140 and was 5'7. I lost 20 pounds once in two months by counting calories. I do believe that I need to count calories and work out three times a week, but working out makes me…

Hi!
I have been dieting, starving myself, binging, whatever its been since this summer and have managed to go from 207 to 180. I plateued for the last month and a friend suggested myfitnesspal. I have already been amazed at how helpful it is. Yay! Maybe now I can get on track and get that scale moving down again.

newbie
