Anyone from the Midlands?
Hi Everyone, I’m pretty new to the site, and I’m really making an effort to complete my food and exercise diaries, and stick to my calorie limit and calories to burn goal. I just wondered if there’s anybody else on here from the West Midlands? I’m from Coventry and it’s always nice to find people in your area to catch up…

Opening up a can of worms!
I've been using MFP since Jan 2011 and have lost 15 pounds so far. However, I haven't seen the scale move much in the past couple of weeks. I'm trying not to get frustrated at this point and drink lots of water, continue to exercise (probably could be more consistant), but I feel like I should be losing more. I do realize…

A quote for a daily reading. =) Enjoy and good morning.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not…

Prayin' To The Scale . . .
Today is weigh-day ... prayin' for even 1# loss as it's been 2 weeks and none dropped yet. I know that I am still getting dialed in as far as too many/too few cals and coming around to eating clean again, so I won't go off the deep end if the answer turns out to be no, but a bit of loss will sure make me smile ... get that…

An answer to most questions asked on this website...
I learned this years back in sales and well in life in general. I wasnt sure in which category to post this but I have always loved this way of looking at certain things. Well losing weight and getting in shape is definitely one that falls perfectly into this category. Especially the tool we are given with this website..…

“Self Compassion” Could Be The Key to Weight Loss
You’re probably nicer to your family and friends than you are to yourself! That’s the basis of a new kind of psychology called self-compassion, which suggests that giving yourself a break, and accepting your imperfections may be the first step toward better health. That’s tough in a culture where most people believe that…

Words of Motivation
So to all my fellow people out there, especially us women, what words of motivation do you guys leave yourself? Any notes attached to the fridge, the bathroom mirror, etc? It doesnt even have to be just about weight loss, but about anything. I need to put ones up about my confidence and learning to be more bold. So, whats…

Family support (or lack thereof)...
My family has hurt my weight loss goals so much that now I don't even share with them what I'm doing. Whether they're fat and enabling, or skinny and condescending, my family drives me nuts and I knew I would have to confront this sooner or later. My little brother (6 pack) has a completely different view of life. His…

This is just so darn hard
Almost 17 years ago I lost my mother to Congestive Heart Failure as a result of being morbidly obese. I am not sure but she must have weighed over 400 pounds. One would think after seeing the results first hand of being overweight that I would make better choices. But guess what......I am addicted to food. And the things…

Why I'm Doing this
Week 1-5 lbs Down So I completed my first week on MFP yesterday, and was down 5 lbs! Now, to be fair, my initial weigh-in was immediately following a weekend of drinking and eating too much, and flying (therefore water retention!). I know that next week will be a lot tougher. But still, it was nice to see the change on the…

In a funk??
I think we all have moments where we just feel like we're in a funk and staying on task everyday (keeping up the diary, exercising) begins to become this overwhelming thing to accomplish and all ya want to do is EAT and exercise is the last thing on your mind. When you feel like this, what do you do to help you snap out of…

Starting over...again.
February was an AMAZING month for me. I started eating well and going to the gym everyday. I lost 15lbs in February. Then I got bronchitis. UGHHH!!! It really kicked my butt! It's been 23 days since I've been to the gym. I'm planning on starting back to the gym Sunday or Monday. It's just so frustrating. I had gotten used…

Motivation needed..
I finally got down to a healthy BMI (barely), but I can't seem to make myself see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm trying to get to a midway healthy-BMI point. I've got 4 more months until my husband returns from deployment and to meet my goal, which leaves me a little slack. However, I don't want to procrastinate…

Anyone want to quit smoking with me???
I need to quit smoking! Not only for my health and whatnot, but I cant afford them, hate the way they smell, and feel like a complete loser for working so hard to lose weight and get healthy, yet keeping on smoking. I have four more packs, and ive decided that I am all done after this. I need help and support. Im wondering…

Scented Wax or Candles
Well I use to buy the wax for my Scentsy holders that smelt like I was baking. I realized that it made me crave sweets. I bought a bar just recently called, "Coconut Lemongrass" because it sounded so lovely. It is AND it dosen't make me hungry, for it does just the opposite; it makes me think about laying on the beach in a…

Support from Home
I just want to take a minute to address something that isn't widely talked about. That is the suport that our families (most espeicially our spouse or significant other) can offer. I am blessed to have my husband. He is behind me all the way on making the diet changes I need to make. He never complains about the time I…

"Secretary Spread" Stinks!!!
UGH. I sit at my desk for 8 hours a day. I get up when I have to, but for the most part I am sitting in front of a computer from 7:30 to 11:30, then I go do my fitness program, and then I come back and sit at my desk from 12:30 to 4:30. If the economy wasn't so bad, I'd be able to retire from this type of work and run my…

Motivational Dream
So last night was okay. Woke up again a little after 3:00 am, took a while to go back to asleep. Had a strange dream of being skinny and walking into a room and on a mannequin I saw the most beautiful dress ever and it was handmade. At the time I didn’t know I was skinny and I was about to walk away when I turned around…

This weekend I was out with a friend who has recently lost weight(she looks great!) and she informed me she is now 151lbs. OH MY GOD I weigh almost 100 lbs (actually exactly 100lbs from where I started)more then her???? This was a…
