Summer Holidays Motivation March - June/July/August
I am going on a holiday in August to Philadelphia, my home town. I'm going to visit my old school friends. I've been living outside of the US for 20+ yrs and rarely go back for a visit.

Do you keep that old "fat wardrobe"?
Do you keep a "fat wardrobe" in case you regain weight? If so, doesn't that sort of set yourself up for accepting that you won't maintain your weight loss? I am working on cleaning out my closet, and am going to get rid of my "big" clothes. If I gain too much to fit into my smaller size, then maybe the discomfort of not…

Rubbing Legs
Alright ladies, I know I'm not the only one..... My thighs rub together when I walk. I thought this would go away 10, even 20 pounds ago, but they still do. I am about 141 pounds, muscular and fit. How long does it take to make the rubbing go away? I am trying to get down to 130 by this summer.

Seriously?!? : (
Since I started really paying attention to what I've been eating and excercising I've lost just under 20lbs (Jan 7th start date). I have about 40 to go but I've gone down two sizes, I definitly have more energy, and I was excited about this process and the "new and improved" me. Until today. I was at Sea World and my son…

Green Tea
I was stuck in the 140s for months and then started drinking green tea. Without any other changes the weight magically just started coming off and without doing anything else I lost 10 pounds. I think everyone should try it.

Trying not to pout...
I just realized something...I don't eat awful. I'm always down on myself when I put an occasional cookie in my mouth or treat myself to a meal I want. But really in the grand scheme of things, that one cookie is nothing compared to how I've eaten the whole week. But I don't get why I'm not the weight I want to be! I can't…

Need some support...
For those who don't know me, I'm a retired model and dancer and live in New York. I have my BA in Rhetoric from NYU. I have CFICS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), so the two worst things for me are stress and overexertion. I'm experiencing both right now. I just found out that my firm is making cuts in the NY office (when we…

Chalean Extreme
I just started Chalean Extreme today, and I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there starting today, or who are currently doing the program. It would be helpful to have other people to talk to about the workouts and how they're going! (Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I couldn't find a current one...)

Why can I not wake up?
I have been in the Army for 7 years after this upcoming May. I have been a recruiter for almost a year and a half. Since becoming a recruiter I can not find the motivation to wake up early like I use to. I use to do PT (Physical Training) with my unit at FT Bliss and I would wake up every day at 0500.

Losing less than 10lb
I am posting this as I think it is difficult to lose a small amount of weight as your body has less fat to burn. I only now have 6lbs to go but am finding it difficult to shift. Anybody else in the same position as me? Any tips or advice?

Challenge: Can you stop nighttime snacking for a whole month
A little over a year ago, my friend dewdrop put out a challenge to forgo snacking at night. It was a great challenge and helped me lose a little weight. For several months thereafter, I renewed her challenge. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon. Now, after a hiatus of several months, I am back on mfp. I need the…

Diet busted when with friends. Help.
So I have two friends I've been hanging out with lately because one of them recently found out she was pregnant. However, since we've been hanging out almost daily the last week I've gotten distracted from my weight loss plan.
