I could have lost 50 lbs!
Back in the beginning of July I wrote on my desk calendar how much weight I wanted to lose each week and wrote a final total on 12/30/10 of -50! Well, I got nothing. How sad is that? 5 months went by and I dropped a few pounds, gained back several pounds and now it's time to evaluate. I'm not one for "new years…

Christmas Diet (Poem)
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse. The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste At the holiday parties had gone to my waist. When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber). I'd remember the marvelous…

Can this be true?
I have been working out sincerely for the past 3 weeks. Last week I gained 1 lb, but I kept myself motivated to keep doing my workouts and food journal. I noticed my arms getting toned. I am weighing in myself everyday to motivate me. I hear the recommendations from the group not to do quite often. But it keeps me on my…

AARGHHH - just need to vent....lol
I've been yo-yoing 2-3 pounds for the last two weeks. I guess I should look on the bright side and realize I did not gain my usual holiday 10. Still frustrating though when things were going good for awhile. I exercise every day (but those dang Christmas cookies....lol).

Internet or App?
Which do you like better, using MFP by just logging on through the internet/wifi the normal way or by accessing it through an app via an ipod/iphone? One thing I did notice is that if I use the app I can't go to my profile page, I can only go to my home page. I don't really like that, but if I just log on by using going to…

I went to Pizza Hut...
and I did SO GOOD!!! I had a salad and a piece of thin crust cheese. This was so hard for me....who would know that simply NOT doing something could be so hard. I wanted that thick crust pepperoni more than anything...and about a million breadsticks. Normally I would have eaten so much more.... I am just proud of myself…

Holidays took a BIG toll!
Ok...so I told myself last nite that I was going to get up and weigh myself this morning because I couldnt let myself get to the point where I was nervous to look at the scale and then proceed to throw it out the window. So I did and I am at my high again. This is the number that I have never gone above and I refuse to do…

Scared to weigh myself
Newbie here. I'm terrified of getting on the scale. I'm pretty sure I know what it will say, but it always depresses me to see the actual number. If it's a good day I tend to think, "Oh, I've got this! I can slack off a little?!" If it's a bad day, I get really upset and it literally ruins my day. Clearly, I am putting way…

New metric for progress
While I'm really motivated by my vanity in wanting to look better, one measurement that I've been taking pretty consistantly probably means more than lost pounds and inches. That's my blood pressure. Before I started this journey a month and a half ago, my blood pressure was regularly around 150/90. With just losing 10…
