My Thanksgiving Week Plan for Success
OK - So I know from my work experience that if you have a plan you can set yourself up for success by setting milestones and goals to reach the plan. I am not trying to diet only to slowly put the weight back on. I am trying to make lifelong changes. Part of life is celebrating holidays, so I have to learn to enjoy and…

Feeling in Control
So, it was my hubby's Birthday last night and the in-laws were over for dinner. We had T-Bones, baked potatoes, corn, roasted vegetables, cake and pie! First of all, I said no to the baked potato and felt in power and in control. Then I only had about 3oz of the steak and corn and vegetables. I DID of course have the piece…

I need to get back on track!

I have post it notes on my computer monitor and my TV at home. I've got a post it note on my computer monitor at work and I have a…

When did you first see a difference
I have a long way to go yet but have so far lost 12lbs in 4 weeks. I haven't noticed any difference yet. The tape measure used to vary greatly anyway so I can't go by that. I'm just wondering when anyone else that was 75lbs + over, first noticed, how many pounds made a noticeable difference by sight or clothing? Really am…

I HATE MY SCALE!!!!!!
MMJ93 So I've been going to the gym at least 3-4x per week, using my elliptical 3-4x per week, tracking all my food and even though I feel like I'm losing inches, the scale won't seem to budge. Also, I feel like even if I have one "off" day it takes me forever to make up for that. I weighed in on Sat morning and then after…

Facebook group for us MFPers

Groups
I am new to MFP and I have realized from looking through the community posts that there seems to be a lot of groups. How do I learn about the different groups and how do I join one?

I realize that this is my own issue, but...
...anybody have something similar? When I was obese, I felt like other women shunned me because I was "fat". Now that I'm closer to an ideal weight, I feel like other women shun me because I'm not as heavy as they are. I know this is all in my head, so I'm not really looking for an answer, just someone who can relate.…

What do you look forward to doing once you've lost the weigh
I was looking at a magazine of really cute, short haircuts today, and it made me realize that I've had really, really long hair for a year now, because I've been unhappy with my weight. I like long hair, but the truth is, I've been wanting to try a really short cut for a long time now, but I've always felt like if I'm not…

Going on a cruise...
I am going on a cruise on saturday and if things would have played out the way i wanted them too i would have lost like 50 pounds by time we left. I totally had enough time to lose a good ammount of weight (although i have lost 20 pounds this year), but i just got lazy and was not motivated enough. Well the time is now…

What flavored drinks do you drink?
Hi everyone.... newbie here. I wanted to know what everyone's go-to drink of choice is. Right now mine is Gatorade, but I know that packs a decent amount of sugar. I've tried the G2, but it seems to give me headaches. I don't want to drink any of the water that has fake sugar (source of headaches, plus just plain not good…

single mom support- week 1
It's a beautiful day here so my goal today is to get out in our California-esque weather and spend some time at the park or zoo with my little girl. We went to the park last night and it was a reminder of why I want to stay fit and healthy. There is no better feeling in the world than her little hand in mine, which brings…

Need to stop losing.
When I joined MFP I had already lost about 15 pounds. I am 5 ft tall and weighed about 135-140 at the beginning. I was exercising and cutting down on my portion size and as a family we ate out A LOT!. Since I was frustrated that I lost a lot of inches but couldn't get the scale to budge so I started tracking calories...in…

YIKES! Time for a wake-up call...
I've been spiraling out of control lately, until now. Because as of this moment I am now back in control. I haven't been tempted by Halloween Candy all day...and sweets are tasting too sweet today...so I think my willpower is beginning to strengthen. This is definitely a force I need do build up to get through the upcoming…
