My Stupid Skinny Boyfriend
My boyfriend is 6'2 and a very lanky dude. He is the epitome of bean pole stature. The other morning, at my house, he was in the bathroom while I stepped on the scale. It read 145. Then I told him to see how much he weighed. So he stepped on the scale. It read 145. I am 5'4. I HATE HIM SO MUCH RIGHT NOW HE IS HUGE AND I AM…

Demanding new things from your muscles by Jillian
What Is Modality? Modality is a great way to vary your routine. In addition to intensity, weight load, and the number of sets and reps you do, you can alternate between different exercises that work the same muscles, thereby changing your "mode" of exercise. For example, if your routine includes the seated row machine,…

Sugar Withdrawal?
I have only been part of MFP for 3 days. Its made me realize how many carbs and sugar i normally consume. Naturally I have cut out most of both in the fast few days because the sugary things I normally eat aren't worth taking up 1/3rd of my calories for such a small portion. I feel good about this but... Ive been headachy…

Plato's Allegory of the Cave, aka my Christmas
This place has always been so helpful whenever I had questions or needed support. So I figure I'd post my most dreaded concern. Any advice would be wonderful. Anybody remember Plato's Allegory of the Cave? Basically, a bunch of people are chained in a cave and only see shadows on the wall. But these shadows are truth to…

What Do You Love?
About Yourself! In light of the recent self esteem thread, I am compelled to make sure none of the gorgeous ladies out there don't have at least ONE thing they can appreciate about themselves. :flowerforyou: Therefore, tell me one physical thing about yourself that you love or think is pretty. This is not optional, if you…

Help...doubled calories !!!
I just realised, I've consumed almost double my calories today :blushing: Seems this just is not my week to be good :cry: Just feel so low at the moment, I know I've had a lot to deal with, but I hoped I'd handle it better than I have.

Need to confess
I just ate a gigantic bag of potato chips. :mad: Knowing full well the reason that the scale hasn't been moving for me, I still sabotage myself. I can't believe I'm still doing this to myself. This is so ridiculous. Why should something so silly hold so much power over me??? I am so fed up.... just trying not to give up…

moving
We moved today. There's no food in this house, and my internet isn't working. I have to take my finals by saturday. I was on the phone with my isp for over 2 hours. I talked to 5 different people, and they all told me to unplug my modem, which of course didn't help. They said they couldn't send anyone out until monday, and…

Attitude Changes
I feel like I need to be in the right frame of mind to lose weight and make positive lifestyle changes. I think a big change came for me when suddenly I realized how much being overweight/obese has shaped my life. It has really held me back. I think I deserve more than I have allowed myself to have and I am ready to begin…

Hot???
How to start this one off...I've lost a total of 60 pounds since I began my weight loss journey over a year and a half ago. It feels great. I've been at a stand still for the last 6 months or so as I haven't been watching my calories or exercising regularly, but I've definitely maintained. It's good to know I can do that!…

Have You Ever.....

So I made a graph of what I wieghed at the end of each month. OH BOY!! was it a confidence booster. In all that data I lost…

what's up w/ the scale?
Sometimes I get on it and I weigh a certain amount, and then sometimes I obsess and get on it the next day and I've gained 2 or 3 lbs, but I've done nothing wrong w/ my exercise and eating. Especially since I am burning around 500 calories a day and always eating about 300 cals under my limit. Maybe its because I'm gaining…

Yet again!
I left again...and had to come back to MFP. I was doing pretty well on here, and then decided to see if I could lose weight without the use of MFP (wanted to experiment and see if I could still keep myself motivated enough to lose weight) So...I'm back, now. I lost 10 lbs, but I think I'll stick with MFP for now because I…

I'm completely out of control!
Here's a brief version of my story: I started MFP last Nov. at 197 lbs (Heaviest I've ever been sans being pregnant). By May I was down to 177. 6 months later I am all the way up to 209. I've been at least giving it a try for the last couple of weeks, but I'm having such a hard time. First and foremost: Christmas cookies…
