About 10 minutes aways from giving up!!
I clicked the button and because I ate so much today, MFP predicted that within 5 weeks I would actually gain weight. I can't believe I let myself down like this. I have been doing SO WELL until now. Not to mention last week was hard. I'm used to waking up and seeing a smaller number everyday (sometimes its like .2 lb, but…

Anyone pleased with results when looking in the mirror?
I am so pleased with my appearance! I noticed my stomach doesn't look as huge, and my hips are sinking in! I feel so much more energetic! I still have at least 50 pounds to go and I'm praying that i can wear a bikini for the first time this summer. My younger sister/mom asks me..when do you think you can wear a bikini? "I…

In need of major support
I'm nervous to post this on here, as I don't want to be judged or receive a bunch of "go get professional help!" messages. I know I have a problem, I know professional help is probably the way to go to deal with this problem, but I'm looking for people who have been in my exact same position and who beat this evil. I need…

So Depressed...
So, I am new to the forums, though I do lurk on occasion. Today I decided that I need the extra "support and motivation" therefore I am posting here. Here's a little history: I joined the military at age 17 and weight 140 (height 5'5''). After 6 weeks of boot camp I had gained (yes I said GAINED) 10 lbs. 2 and a half years…

And I mean BEFORE pics, AFTER pics and every pic in between. So congratulations on being beautiful and good luck on getting/staying healthy. I'm serious! I have yet to see…

Refocusing After Thanksgiving and
Being mentally tough isn't easy. There are so many opportunities to be weak minded and unfocused. Vince Young had a breakdown on the field this weekend and looks stupid because of it. The Raiders and Steelers game was fully of poor decision making that got one player ejected from the game. These sports examples are just…

Just can't seem to keep the ball rolling...
I get on this really great workout schedule, then something comes along and I figure oh, I will do it tomorrow and BAM! I screw up my good thing! I recently took out a Walk Away The Pounds DVD from the library. You can on ly keep "movies" out for one week, this isn't a good way to workout if you ask me. Sure I can go…

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails
Whenever I start to try to be healthier, it seems like there is always something that comes up that easily sways me. Or better said, that I ALLOW to sway me from my goal. I quit smoking about two years ago and got the expected weight gain. Then, other obstacles arose in my life and I resorted to eating and/or sleeping to…

Personal Trainer!
I was not quite sure where to put this post, but thought "Motivation and Support" hits the nail on the head :happy: I have been thinking about getting some (qualified) help for quite a while but it just never happened until now. Yesterday I had my first consultation with my new personal trainer who has many years of…

Lies we use to tell ourself
Anyone who is over weight has lied to themself, some of us call these excuses. Ex: It's too cold or too hot to go on that walk. I am just big boned. I will start tomorrow. No one cares about me why should I. These are just a few, come on guys and gals share some of the lies/excuses you have used in the past.

Looking for a few good friends...
Hi everyone, I've just finished a Biggest Loser challenge at my work/gym, and I no longer have those people to be challenged by or to be accountable to. Well, they are still there, but now that the challenge is over, it's just not the same. I think there will be another challenge starting in mid-January, but that's a long…

bummed out
Last week I was working out real good and watching my calories. Now I'm really sick. I think I have a very bad sinus infection with high fever. So much for working out today. I already ate a piece of cake!!!:sick:

It seemingly came out of nowhere.
A real sucker punch. A full body blow to my psyche. The day had gotten off to such a positive start with my weekly weigh-in. I had posted a loss ... no small achievement considering the circumstances leading up to it. I was walking with a little bounce in my step. I was even, dare I say, feeling thinner. I didn't see it…

Snap-Crackel-Pop just turned into CRUNCH CRUNCH ouch!
I posted a couple of weeks ago about how my left knee was making crackling noises when I bent it but it didn't hurt. Since so many people posted that they had similar issues, I figured I wouldn't worry about it. Well, it's gotten progressively more CRUNCHY sounding to the point that you can hear me straighten my leg from…

December 1st marks the beginning of 'Dressember' - the challenge for women (or the adventurous male) everywhere to shake up their wardrobe and try ditching the jeans and t-shirts. We're aiming to wear dresses as often as possible - don't worry if it's not practical in the day, you can go for a skirt/top combo if needed, or…

Don't know what to title this thread...tired & disgusted com
I'm tired of feeling sick. I'm tired of sabotaging myself with food. I'm tired of forcing that last bite of food even though I know I'm full and I know I'm on a path of self destruction. I'm tired of that bloated stomach ache and lethargic heaviness. I gained six pounds and it feels like sixty. No more pep talks and "this…

Horrible Diary Day
After doing really well with my calories the first half of the day, I binged on 6 of the homemade cookies that I baked for my husband and stepson, then continued to spiral out of control by eating a McDonald's Angus Burger meal (minus the drink) for dinner, and ANOTHER half dozen of the cookies, all while cancelling my…

Thanksgiving preparation
Ok, it is Thanksgiving week. Traditionally the focus of this holiday winds up being about the food, BUT it should be about friends and family. Part of the reason I need to lose weight is because I have made food a focus for many various reasons; stress, birthdays, holidays, emotions and celebrations of just about any kind.…

Hormonal weight gain?? So frustrating!
So I have been at this for a few weeks now, and have been pretty consistently under my calorie goal for each day and exercise consistently. The first week, I lost 4 lbs. The next week I gained 4 pounds, probably from my mid-month hormonal gain. Then I went down 3 lbs last week, only to gain 6 lbs this week. I feel like I…
