Burned out???
So, I took the week off of excercising because I just felt so burned out. I work 5 nights a week from 10 pm to 6 am, and am a full time mommy and wife during the day. Lately, all my motivation seems to have gone down the drain. :frown: I usually LOVE working out, but just could't seem to get myself to do it this last week.…

I can eat anything I want (and so can you)
Yesterday I get home from work and my husband asks if I want to go to Sterling Place Tavern (If you’re not from Buffalo, you likely don’t know that STP has a great beer selection and the most AMAZING greasy/high fat/high cal bar food). I’m a liver of life so my answer, as usual, was “YES!” To prevent over eating of…

Terrible week/day
So I've been having a rough week with roommate issues, work stuff, and generally life just taking a dump on me. Yesterday was the last straw, so it's just been a rough week. This morning my husband brought home orange rolls to make for breakfast, and I decided to say "You know what, I just need a day where I don't care"…

One accoutability buddy...
Hi...I would like to find an accoutability buddy..possibly someone looking to lose around the same amount of weight (50ish lbs). Its nice to have lots of friends on here to motivate and support but would like to find a person or two to help keep more strict accountability and motivation and I'd do the same for you in…

On the road to a healthier life....I hope...
Just started mfp about 3 days ago...so far so good. I've been exercising daily as well so hopefully my hard work will pay off....just wondering how soon does one start losing? The problem is that if I don't get results I start giving up...:-( Just for the record, I currently weigh 206.2lbs....I used to be about 130-140lbs…

Not getting support anymore
At first my family and friends were of course supportive of my weight loss. Now 30lbs down and a UK size 10 all I get is arguments. If I mention in passing that I'm finding it a bother just now as none of my clothes fit it ends in an argument. I'm not moaning about my clothes. I've been putting up with loose clothes since…

Need just a little help!
I have been struggling these past three weeks with the same 4lbs; I gain them, I lose them but can't seem to get down anymore. I am working my butt off with the cardio but I know where I am falling short is with my food. What happens is I eat really well during the day but then when it gets to dinner, I sometimes fall off…

Feeling at a loss (gain is a better word)
I know that I should not just go on here to vent, but I really feel like I have been trying this week and I had a gain. I worked out 5 days this week and ate fairly well most of the time staying in my calories almost every day. when I gained a pound back it makes me feel defeated. I also feel that I don't deserve to have…

This is where it starts getting hard...
I have successfully lost my water weight and have now started to fight the fat! I think an exercise routine rather than my general walking to and from uni and work is in order now. I'm thinking 20 minutes of skipping every day :D

Need A Kick Start
So I have always been all about fitness. I've done all my research. I know what to eat, what macros I need, and all of that. I used to be soo active...I would never just sit around. Fast forward to beginning of 2010....I got in a new relationship and had to travel back home for a family emergency. Between the new…

Unconditional Support Group
Hey.......ok so I'm really kind of tired of seeing posts on here where people are judging and bashing different types of weight loss. We're all here for support, that's the bottom line. Baring out and out anorexia, I pretty much support any way that works for you. Live and let live. I'd like to see a forum for everyone,…

Extremely Frustrated
So I've been on this weight loss journey since mid August and I've lost 12-lbs so far, so don't get me wrong....I'm very happy about that....BUT, my problem (or where my frustration lies) is the past two weeks I have not been able to drop the weight. I have been at 161 - 160 off and on for two weeks and I don't know what…

First 100 days of MFP
My first 100 days have been tricky. Within the first half, I lost up to 12 lbs. I was feeling so good, I was on track! Then I had my birthday, family from out of town came, and I haven't been able to jump back on since. Now I'm just at a 5 lb loss. More than half of it has came back. I need to get my motivation back. How…

Calling all long-time "losers"
Like a lot of us on here I can be successful for the short term. I started May 31 and have been totally committed until October. I shouldn't say totally, I've had some slip ups..weekends are bad for me. I wil say on the weekend "I'll get back on track Monday". Then I'll have a good day and then two or three bad days. Well…

Being healthy in a college environment...
Leading a healthy lifestyle in college is extremely hard. Not so much because of all of the unhealthy food that is readily available, but because of all the alcohol! I feel like I'm sacrificing part of my social life if I have to refrain from drinking alcohol. It wouldn't be as big of a concern if I wasn't just beginning…

Looking Lovely!
Hello my dear friends! I just wanted to take a few minutes to say how proud I am of each of you. I see strong, beautiful (and by beautiful I mean classy AND smoking hot) women who are kicking butt and crashing through their goals. Poeple can say whatecver they want to, but no one, NO ONE, can take that away from you. So…

200+ (Week 51) "Hot for Halloween"
Can we believe it's almost one year since our group was started?? Wow! It's time to check in for the week. I don't know how my weight will be in the morning, but I did my last long training run today. Proud of myself for getting it in. It's brutal to go for that long after a workday. Boo. Did a little under 11 miles.…

Do you burn more calories at rest while sick?
Oh, man. I've got a cold. It started on Monday with a sore throat upon waking. Now it's just sinus pressure making me lethargic. Welp, I went to dinner last night with a bunch of family. Had coffee, a bunch of apple-gorgonzola salad and about 1/3 of my Jambalaya Risotto. Mmm... Anyway, I weighed less this morning. And I…

One way to stay motivated
Starting from tomorrow I have a way to keep myself motivated and also do good for others at the same time. I've organised a "sponsored weight loss" in work. I have a few others in work signed up to it who also need to loose weight. All the money we raise will be donated to the Irish Heart Foundation. I have set a realistic…

Rewards
Since most of us are here because we turn to food in good times and bad...kinda like a marriage ;-) I'm trying to think of ways to reward myself in varying degrees (a good week with eating/working out or a significant goal weight lost). Any ideas would be great!!! How do you reward yourself, now that you shouldn't do it…
