I need help!!!
Since starting MFP 3 weeks ago I have only lost 1 pound and 1.5 inches. I keep hearing stories of people dropping crazy weight within the first couple of weeks, what's wrong with me?

Confesssion
They say confession is good for the soul so I think I better fess up. I completely lost the plot yesterday.

This was swiftly followed by a whole pack of custard cream biscuits…

I have been sick and just bummed cause my fiance deployed (we are in the…

It's been proving harder lately...
So lately I've been talking to my best friend more and more about eating disorders. She does the whole bulimic thing, and that's just not me.

Feeling pretty bad, need to vent (OT)
I got sick four days ago. Finally last night I gave in and called the doctor, who agreed to give me a prescription for the urping. But it hasn't stopped me from losing just about everything I eat. I've been to the bathroom so many times that my poor little bum is hurting. I don't even think about logging anything I've…

A bit of a vent....
I'm feeling very frustrated right now. I have managed to gain 6-8 pounds in the last WEEK. I know, probably just water, but I am currently at my heaviest EVER and I feel disgusting.

I am doing everything right?…
