A Knights Tale
Hi my darlings. I was just chilling at home and looking through profiles on MFP and I am so very impressed. You have all come so very very very far. Each of you have been kicking butt and winning battle after battle. Like a true warrior, even little setbacks haven't slowed you down. What an amazing bunch of classy, sexy,…

No Support From Home
Does anyone deal with not getting support from your significant other? Anytime I bring up anything that has to do with weight loss, exersise or anything dealing with fitness I basically get the look that they dont want to hear about it. I dont get any compliments on my success. I have lost 50 lbs. so far and the one…

Back in The Saddle Again...
So, last year (2009) I lost a grand total of 63 pounds, starting the year at 242 and and finishing at 179, which was a HUGE accomplishment for me. Since then I have gained a few and lost them again several times, hitting 179 three separate times during 2010. Now about 2 months ago I had some life changes and ended up…

My Holiday Prayer
God grant me the serenity to avoid those cakes and candies, to pass on pies and cookies and survive the holidays without gaining weight. Better yet, keep on losing weight!' Just for a chuckle for everyone... :happy:

Streamlining everything
Hey all! So, the next month is going to be BUSY! But that is no excuse to push exercise aside in order to cram everything else in. Anyone else out there in need of some time management skills? I know I am! So I'm trying to make myself a calendar and stick with it. I promise myself I will not procrastinate, and I will not…

Is This Scale Broken?
I'm asking for a little encouragement this morning. I gained 2 lbs last week after my knee surgery. I am unable to exercise, but I have been sticking to my food plan and staying within my calories. I thought that since I am back on my feet (sort of) and hobbling around that the 2 lbs would come off and I would start losing…

1/4 of the way there!
I started focusing on my weight on September 1st of this year, and so far I have lost 22.4 of the 107 pounds I need to lose. I have gone from 272 to 249.6. I am posting some before and after pics, just to celebrate my mini-accomplishment and to motivate me to continue moving forward instead of reverting back to past…

Surprising benefits!!
So, in case losing the weight isn't enough motivation to eat healthy, I thought I'd share some added benefits I've noticed, that really surprised me. I'm sure I'm not the first person who has noticed these things, but I'm just so pleased. I've always eaten healthy. I'm mostly vegetarian, cook almost all my own meals, and…

Feeling like a failure
I'm not exercising. I can't exercise. I can't get out of bed. The fibro flare is kicking my tail beyond belief. I can't even get my normal chores done, like picking up my kid from school (my partner did it), or doing my laundry. I'm still eating consistently under my target calories, even when I really want more.…

Lost 10 pounds in 12 days, but letting the scale get the bes
So I started exercising and changing how I eat on 11/8/10 and today is my 12th day. I have lost 10 pounds, but 9 of those pounds came from last Monday through Sunday. Only one pound down this week, and I have never went over my calories this week. I hate not seeing results on the scale! They drive me NUTS!!!!! Help?…

Discouraged!
I was wondering how long it took everyone to lose their first couple pounds. Ive been dieting strictly and exercising 1-2 hours everyday for a week and a half and STILL havn't lost even one pound. I thought I would at least lose 1 pound by now!!

Don't you wish.....
You could bottle how you feel right after you get off the treadmill or go for a great run or after an awesome workout, and save that bottle for those days when you don't QUITE feel like working out and take a big swig off it?!? Not only would that be great to do, but you'd be rich! :laugh:

Went over last night
Have been doing great all week, keeping it below 1200 (well, right at it anyway). Got to the end of my night last night, feeling stressed and I had that extra beer...and the extra 110 cals. Do you know how depressing it is to see that red mark at the end of the day? Just had to get that out there....don't want to beat…

any college kids needing to lose 15 to 20 pounds?
I was just hoping to find a partner who needs to lose a few pounds before winter break. It would be nice to have motivation from someone and be able to help each other.

In a diet cycle nightmare
I've tried everything, and am really stuck as to what to do at this point. Atkins has never worked for me. With low calorie diets, I've been able to lose over a hundred pounds several times - but regrettably end up rebounding each time. I've tried Atkins several times, but have never had success with it. You can search my…

It's colder and my appitite is increasing!

Need support
So I have lost a lot of weight since I first started my journey. A lot for me is right around 70 lbs.. I would like to loose another 10-15 lbs and have recently taken a break from it all. I am getting back into it and feel great some days are harder than others. Any words of encouragment would be great!

Don's Food for Thought 11-18
As we go into the holidays I want to be reminded of two rules... The rule of ENOUGH and the rule of TOO MUCH. In eating our food and spending our funds, we must know when we reach ENOUGH and TOO MUCH. Let's not let the festivities and the fun make us do something foolish. Have a great day!

Seeking Motivation and Support Friends
I could really use some friends and a support group here. In April I went for my yearly and my doctor told me I really needed to consider gastric bypass surgery. I weight in at a top heavy weight ever at 230 that put me at 100 lb over what they consider my ideal weight. I'm 5'3".....WOW...WAKE UP CALL...... I started out…
