Just bought a bikini...
Going on a cruise in January... I want to be down to my honeymoon weight - the last time I comfortably wore a bikini - and I'm 4 pounds away. To motivate myself I bought a new bikini. I have 8 weeks to lose the 4 pounds, but with Thanksgiving and Christmas, I have a feeling this will be a tough road. These last few pounds…

I really want to try to eat better but at my work we either have catered lunches three out of the four days I work a week. My friend that i work with closest is skinny as a rail and can eat whatever she wants. I have gained 9 pounds since I started working there. Since quitting is not an option, how can I resist eating all…

looking for a "weight loss buddy"
Hey! I'm hoping to find another woman, hopefully with 100lbs or so to lose who also wants someone to chat with on a regular basis. I love my boyfriend to death, and am glad that he is starting his own weight loss journey with me, but I would love the opinions and motivation of another woman. I'm hoping to find someone who…

Emotional Eater
I have a confession. I am an emotional eater. If I am stressed, sad, happy, whatever the emotion may be I reach for food. Just today I had all my snacks and food planned out for a successful day of healthy eating, and what happens. Everything! Stress up the wazoo! Top it off my 3-year old threw a record tantrum and I…

#1 Rule to success--NEVER GIVE UP...
I'm truly learning that the #1 rule to succeeding with weight loss is NEVER GIVING UP (no matter what)! I've never been this dedicated before. I used to always give up when I couldn't be perfect at everything (eating right, exercising, etc.). So, obviously, I didn't stick with it for long. I just kept getting bigger and…

I need... well, I guess I'm not sure what I need
I'll get right to the point. In April 2010, I weighed 185 pounds and at only 5' 2" on a tall day I felt like a fat lazy blob. Most of it is weight gained when I had my son, so I was comfortable with how I got there, but not with the fact that it had taken me almost 3 years to decide it was time to be healthy again. I just…

Never ate so healthy in my life!
I am unsure what truly made me start making this more serious than any other time, but I knew it was time and I am pretty sure the big part about finally doing this is because my wedding is in a few months and i want to feel good, look good and others to take notice, especially the man I am going to marry! It's all really…

Tried zig zag and . . . . Failed Lol

I did: 1200 1400 1200 1400 1300 1500 1200 Did alternating each day with strength on days I ate more, and then other days cardio. Any clues what I did wrong, or did I not give it long enough?. I don't eat meat and my sodium levels are very low as I…

The Biggest Mistake I Ever Made...
I allowed myself to binge for about six days over the course of three week beginning around the middle of October. It was about three month into my weight loss journey and I was at my lowest weight yet. I probably won't reach my goal weight by the end of November now, and I regret it completely. I have since not gone over…

I Can't Help Being Fat
Time for another obligatory late night post from yours truly. I really am enjoying MFP a little too much but at least it will help to keep my goals and my body in mind at all times. I'd like to switch gears from m incendiary rhetoric of mythical numbers and starvation modes to have a serious discussion about disease of the…

LOSING WEIGHT
OMG I am so freaking annoyed. I have been doing everything right. Staying under calories, exercising...everything and I'm not losing weight now. I am kind of depressed about it. I feel like everything I eat is getting STUCK inside me and it isn't coming out. I've been eating fiber and drinking water. :( I'm sad that I'm…

MIL wants to join....help!
Ok, so my Mother in Law wants to join the site. She wants to start, and yes, she wants to lose weight, but I have a feeling she also wants to just be nosey. It's just how she tends to be. I want a place where I can actually vent a little and talk openly without her knowing all of my thoughts. SO....is there a way to hide…

Live in the "NOW"
While I was letting my deep conditioner sit in my hair in the shower this morning, I thought to myself “Why do we feel we cannot do something nice for ourselves until we reach certain weight loss goals?" I don't think it is necessarily the most positive thing to feel we are not worthy of pampering ourselves until we've…

Having one of THOSE days......
:mad: The face sums it up.....one of those days where anything, everything and all things in between light your fuse :explode: . Mine started yesterday when I arrived at work and has only gotten worse in the last 24 hours. Realized I needed to calm down when I got asked, yet again, to move my vehicle :noway: . It is -20…

How can others do it but i cant?
I have to admit I live a life believing I'm happy but I am truly no. At barely 20 should be enjoying every single moment but instead i am hiding because I don't like he way i look. I went years being conceded (i admit) being the pretty girl at school that could have any guy i liked. since i gained weight I hate just the…

20lbs or so left.....
So I've been on this journey for a while now. Before MFP I lost about 30lbs through calorie restriction alone. Then I joined here about a year and a half ago and have lost another 30 (almost) with exercise and calorie counting. Now I'm at my last 20 (or so) and I've been pretty much maintaining for the last 4 or 5 months.…

Liberate by bacon fat.
When your an emotional eater you don't look at food in a normal way, You use food to mask your true feelings. And you eat not because your hungry. hunger don't come into it. You eat because of your feelings. Your emotions dictate what you can & cannot eat, most of what you can. lol. You don't even think about what or why…
