uh-oh weekend
After a lot of the usual stress that comes with wedding planning and prep, my fiance and I needed to take a "vacation" - meaning we told everyone we went camping and couldn't be reached. What we really did was stay in all weekend and play Wii. It was great to not even go to the store or answer the phone, but of course that…

Doing everything right and something so wrong
Hi, I need someone to tell me that the reason I feel so disheartened right now is because I'm expecting too much too soon! I've been going to the gym twice a day for around 40 mins each time 6 days a week and having one rest day, I keep my heart rate at the optimum of burning fat and I am doing strength training, a typical…

That ONE week when I just feel like eating everything! Does this happen to any of you during your…

Why?
Why on earth have I managed to gain a pound after a week of watching what I eat and balancing it with exercise? Could it be the new birth control I'm on?

getting discouraged
Hi everyone, I've been trying to stay within the 1200 cal a day but generally fall between 1400-1500. I burn about 568 per day with exercise which I do daily but am not loosing any more weight. I initially lost 8 lbs pretty easily but am kind of stuck here at 180 and 30 lbs more to loose. Does anyone have any advice? I've…

Fire Up Your Engines
One of the keys to successful, sustainable weight loss is to keep your metabolism working at top speed, burning as many calories as possible. When you start to eat less, however, your metabolism will slow down in order to conserve energy. This is what causes the bane of every dieter's existence: the plateau. Every dieter…

Backsliding
Yes, I feel like that's want I'm doing, and it scares the crap outta me! :brokenheart: I'm not sure what's happened. It was during the two weeks I ddin't have access to MFP due to a computer breakdown. I didn't do horribly, but I've held onto that 23 lb. loss, even though overnight the scale bounced back up 9lbs.…

I need help...
Ok, so I am soooooo hungry, so I eat and then I totally go over my calorie count for the day. I need help to fit in food that keeps me full but doesn't put me over my quota. And slim fast shakes just don't do it for me. What are some things you eat throught the day or are your meals? I'll do anything! :embarassed:

I let myself go
I have been horible this summer. I am a teacher, so that means lots of free time. Unfortunately, I have spent most of it chowing down to the tune of 10 extra pounds! Not too bad, but when you already have 40 to lose, that is not good. WHen I religiously used MFP, I was my smallest ever! I need its help again. I have got to…

Just need to buckle down this week!
What a crappy week! I've been tired after work and haven't wanted to do anything... my exercise was very lackluster two nights in a row! Today at work we had a luncheon for one of the therapist because it was her last day... and I brought my lunch so that I would "behave" and ended up having a huge cheat day. Now I just…

Suck-losing the last 10 pounds
I have been stuck at my current weight for a few weeks now. I also do not have as much motivation as I did when I first started (although I still want to lose the weight). What do all of you do to get past the plateau and keep yourself motivated?
