Made it one day...well almost!
I started this site yesterday and thought I did really well. I had used up a lot of my calories and only had 254 left for supper. I thought I made a smart choice in eating Special K cereal with 1% milk. I had a little more than a serving so I went over by about 100 calories. Guess that's better than what I would have…

Thank you...everyone. Unfortunately, the scale is correct....I checked it against my mother in law's yesterday...and the weight before the weekend weight gain was accurate too. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet...per my doctor.... only 1200 calories and I don't get the luxury of eating exercise calories. I'm in the program to…

Can I lose the last 9lbs by Sept?
I start school back in Sept. and I'm going to be one of the new kids at school so I'd like to go to school being and feeling confident (I'm really self-concious), not conceited though. I want to be fit and so far I think I'm doing okay. I've been on this "diet" (lifestyle choice) for one week exactly and I've lost 2-3lbs.…

I'm struggling...
I've been at this two months...it's the longest I've ever stuck with a diet and the most weight I've ever lost. I have one good friend who is an incredible support and encouragement for me (she just lost 100 pounds)...but the initial encouragement, and support from the rest of those around me is kind of disappearing. My…

Back on the wagon???
So I began using MFP in May and absolutely loved it but due to some unforseen tragedies I wasn't as dedicated to the program. I have fallen off the wagon and rolled down the hill...and now am slowly trying to climb back up. I think I probably weigh a little more now than I did when I started here but haven't checked…

Okay I'm going to do it.
Starting this week I am going to make myself eat at least half of my exercise calories. I want to see what happens when I weigh in on Sunday..I am really scared, but following MFP advice hasn't hurt me before so I'm going to do it! I am guilty of exercising too much and not eating enough..so this is going to be really…

Digital Scale?
Do you guys use analog scales or digital? I've got an analog scale, and I haven't seen it move a pound in the past couple weeks... Not that a new scale would fix that :smile: , but I think if my scale had the resolution so I could see a half-pound loss, I would feel more motivated. Celebrate the small victories, right?

Needing to vent a bit....
I have been a part of MFP since April, but I don't usually post. Today, I just need to vent a bit and get some motivation and support. I was doing so well with my weight loss. Since March I have lost 28 pounds but as I get to a few pounds of my goal, I find myself slipping out of control. I eat what I know I shouldn't and…

big losers experience needed:
So, I'm 4 weeks into my new way of life thanks to MFP. I'm currently in "stage 2" as defined by Banks in his very eye-opening "expectations" post and I totally get what's going on, I'm plugging away and optimistic that this phase will pass and my body will start losing again. Today I'm just in need of a little moral…

Back from El Salvador
So, I've been traveling for a couple of weeks and it hasn't helped my diet much. I spent 8 days in El Salvador working on a Habitat for Humanity project (through their Global Village program), came home for a couple of days, and then went to Montana for a week. While in El Salvador, I ate three small meals a day (a typical…

what am i doing wrong?
I started My fitness pal on April 26. I have lost one pound in that time. I think in that whole time I have only gone over my calorie allotment one time. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well this week I changed it to friday because it was the 4th and I was meeting up with old friends to bbq. Usually one cheat meal doesn't really do much to me..but I cheated yesterday and today also....!! I ran 8 miles on friday,…
