Operation Beautiful
This is something I saw on the Today Show earlier, and I wanted to share :smile: One of the things that I love about MFP is that it is more about being healthy than being skinny. This isn't directly related to weight-loss but it is about positive self-image & it made me smile, so I wanted to share! "The goal of the…

Well, that was nice... while it lasted.
I started doing MFP on July 20, so I fully realize it hasn't been long at all. I also know weight can fluctuate kind of a lot, depending on how much water you've drank, whether or not you've... uh... relieved yourself, what time of month it is, etc. I also have a pear shaped body type. Even when I was underweight, I was…

GOING FOR A WEIGH IN
I go to my Dr.'s office on Friday mornings to weigh myself and then come home to log it in. I find that by Thursday afternoon I start to feel a little anxious about what the scale will say. It has always been good news for the most part in the past and yet it makes me crazy. I am assuming that it is because always in the…

Is this what you look like?
I'm sure we would all agree that how we view ourselves and how we view others are seen through two completely different sets of eyes....or at least SOME of us do :wink: Here's a really cool chart that a friend sent me a while ago of what different weights "look" like. People have submitted their pictures of their height…

Last Night Snacking!
I suffer from insomnia, so I am usually up late at night. I try not to eat late, and have tried to put down the sweets. However, I've noticed it never fails that around midnight I get the strongest craving for something sweet. It's almost like an uncontrollable urge! What do I do to control this hunger and desire for…

Do you eat more when you exercise?
I've been working hard on exercising at least once a day, sometimes 2-3 for the past 3 weeks. It seems like I eat more though, and I haven't lost any weight since I started working out more! I go over my calories every day. Does anyone else have this problem??

By Jove I think they've got it
When my husband and I started back on this journey a couple of months ago, we had a hard time with my in-laws (whom we live with) not quite understanding that we are changing what we eat, drink, and do. They didn't understand that we are wanting to lose weight, drink more and nearly only water and exercise. They still had…

Eating before bed
I have developed a horrible habit of eating right before I go to bed. I work nights ( which doesn't help the situation ) and I get home, and to dull the stress of work, I eat! Sometimes I am genuinly hungry, but most of the time, I just want a reward for working hard. Then I go straight to bed. Sometimes, I even wake up in…

Serious self-esteem issues

I've been using MFP for exactly one month today and I've only lost 3 pounds :( . I'm very frustrated as I have really changed my diet and am working out at least 5 days a week.
