sad but true and trying to figure it all out
So I have gained 10 lbs since joining MFP- after logging cal and exercise everyday for such a long time- I am still so baffled as to why it has worked for so many but not at all for me. I have decided to hire a nutritionist and trainer to help me get off the 10 I have gained and maybe figure out how it has happened. I will…

To eat or not to eat
So I decided to go to the cafe at work to get a coffee well of course the bake goods are right next to the coffee. An orange cranberry muffin was calling my name so I bought it. I log on to enter it and it is 440 calories for 1 muffin! I mean come on it is part of the fruit family isn't it? It has oranges and cranberries…

loose fitting clothes!
Thank God! I finally got a job interview and I had less than an hour to get ready and go...well after my quick shower and fast hair and make-up routine, I dressed...and OMG! my shirt was loose! LOOSE! This shirt used to be snug and I would keep the last button unbuttoned when I sat down, otherwise the shirt would bubble up…

Such a freaking fatso!
:cry: :cry: :cry: I feel so ashamed. I haven't exercised nor tracked my calories in about 3 1/2 months and today I tried to exercise on the Automatic Stair Stepper Level 12 but it was so hot (wimpy much?) that I quit within 14mins. I tried so hard to push myself but I just couldn't. I'm not HUGE or anything but I can see…

I am so bad at this..
OK so I did good for 4 days, then totally didn't follow it for a week. I ate anything and everything again.. A few of you told me that I have a negative attitude about this and probably will fail with that attitude and I KNOW you are right, but I am not sure how to fix it... How do I have a positive attitude about losing…

Getting to healthy lifestyle?
Ok so now that I have reached my goal. How do i sustain my new found fitness. I know I do not want to eat as little as I have been and I know I want to work out less, but I also know that I will feel guilty if I do not. What should I do to ease off.

Plataeu's
How long do Plataeu's usually last? What is the longest someone can be on one? I have hit my first one and I have read that I need to make changes to get off it. I am making changes to my exercise and the types of food I eat (still staying within my calories) but the scale won't budge!!!!:explode: According to my tanita…

Stupid scale...
This is the 4th week of me working out every day (250-400 cal cardio on elliptical, running, or step aerobics), plus I'm eating around 1300 cal per day (I'm satisfied throughout the day), and watching fats and sodium... I'm eating my workout calories too... and I've put on 2 pounds! IT IS SO DISCOURAGING!!! I havent…

Back Again but..Keeping my Head Held High
Well..I got a tad bit off track. I thought I didnt need the competition of the biggest loser to stay on track and here we are 5 months after it ended and I am up 8 lbs. Ughh..I went back to some old habits but instead of gaining all 20 back I want to get back to business. Its hard not to feel like you failed but in…

Ok So......
I know that under 1200 is low but I am over 100 lbs overweight and so the weight should still come off not be stuck. MFP put me on a 1400 calorie diet but I have a goal for January which I want to get close to. In the past I did an Atkins diet with no exercise and lost 70 lbs in 4 months and I know it's possible. This is…

Giving is like taking money out of one pocket and putting it into your other pocket. God in his infinite wisdom has made it that way! GIVE GIVE GIVE :-) :heart: God is Love:heart:

HELP! I'm bored

I will be OK if I add excercise in and eat a light dinner. AND stop snacking now...but I can't help myself. Granted, I have been…
