Weekend Woes/cheat days
I don't know what it is about weekends, but I always struggle to keep it under control..... I'm ULTRA strict all week and by the time the weekend comes, I have problems with the 'extras', you know, those little bites that you have and don't think they count. Also, do people have cheat days?? Cheat Meals once a week? I find…

People just don't get it
I was talking to a friend tonight and I was saying "I'd love to go out to eat and have someone wait on ME for once" (we're waitresses :laugh: ) and she suggested we go out to eat somewhere. It stresses me out to go out to eat. I get too crazy in the head and think that I'm undoing all the hard work I've done. And she said…

Is this becoming an 'unhealthy' healthy addiction for me??
The things that I'm experiencing on my journey to a ‘healthier me’ is a bit difficult to explain... so I apologise if this make no sense. :ohwell: I’ve been using MFP (on and off) for about a year now, I’ve managed to lose 15lbs so far. Sometimes I seem to go through a period of doing really well, then suddenly... one slip…

Any Other National Guard Wives?
Hi! My husband is in the Army National Guard and I was wondering if there were any other National Guard wives on this site. We have a 9 month old son and my husband is set to deploy next year. I'm trying to meet my weight loss goals before he leaves and keep the weight off while he's gone.

Classmates dislike me and it's driving me crazy!!
So, I'm not the type of person who goes out of their way to make friends. i think it is probably a defense mechanism from when i was in school as a kid. i tend to keep to myself and am friendly, but i am not what you would call social or a "joiner". i've always been fat, and have been 300-345 pounds for the last 5 years...…

Frustrated with myself!! :(
I started out this year strong and focused. Since January I've lost 4 inches in my waist and around 28 pounds. BUT...ever since our vacation in July, my workout motivation has been going in the wrong direction. I used to workout 5-6 times a week. Now, I'm lucky if I get in 2-3 workouts a week. I've gained some of my weight…

Just a bit frustrated / venting
I started keeping track of my nutrition and exercise for the past two weeks here on MFP. I go to the gym 4x a week for 70 mins and do a very exhaustive workout usually burning approx. 916 calories (ish, since i can't really keep track of my weight training and abs portion of my workout). I have only had two really bad days…

Buying a size down worked for me
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, I guess, but I'll add my story on the chance that someone may get some encouragement from it. At 180 (5.1") I started buying one jean size smaller than I could fit into. I'd put them on, see how many inches in the waist I'd have to lose to fit into them, then set them aside. I…

Frustrated with myself. Who else can relate?
Okay so I went to my Med Spa this weekend for a B-12 shot. I have been going there collectively since 2009. When I started back in March 2009, I was 253 pounds! Well I been losing the weight slowly and working out. I go through times where I am super focused with my diet and exercise and there are times (like these past…

Don't know where to post this
I have a question but don't know if this is the right place to post it and even if I should post it. All I want to know is if it's ok for me to post a link to an album in photobucket and see if you guys think that some of my tops look alright on me and if they make me look fat, I suppose I won't know unless I try and sorry…

Are Your Friends Lame Too?
This is just a vent, but it's got to get done for my sanity... Do you guys have friends or family that are all, "you look awesome, what are you doing?" and when you tell them, "um, just working out dude, wanna join me?" and everyone is on board until the second it's time to leave for the gym, or track, or walk and it's…

Little voices! 2 year old god-daughter coach!
Hi everyone! This first week has been a success but came with some hard moments. One of the crazy things that help me, is thinking of my goddaughters (4 and 2 years old). I recorded the little one (2 years old) speaking to me, telling me to take care of myself, not to smoke, sleep enough hours, and finally that they love…

Scale obession/anxiety
Does anyone else become really stressed out the night before they weigh in? My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts. :noway: I weigh in on Mondays, however, I start becoming overwhelmed around Thursday. I've lost 12lbs in the roughly 70 days that I've been using MFP. Some weeks I lost 2 or 3lbs and some weeks I lost nothing. I even…

Bodybugg users idea?
So, I have a bodybugg and I love the crap out ofit. I LOVE that little results screen you get. I aim for a 1000 calorie deficit daily but, usually get just over that. On Friday I had a 2033 deficit and was so gassed that I had to copy and paste that screen into an email for my friend to see. Is there anyone who would want…
