darn weekends!!!!!
Uhhhh, I've been doing so bad on the weekends lately! I do so well, usually eating just my calorie allotment or not eating all of them during the week. But on the weekends I can't ever seem to keep from going way over. Part of it has to do with my schedule....I sleep later (10 am typically but occasionally as late as 11 or…

temptations...
My husband brought home KFC and although I ate my dinner two hours ago I couldn't resist trying some and ended up eating a bunch of fried chicken wings and a biscuit with butter:sad: I'm so bummed, I had been doing so well this week on eating right. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resist temptation?

Just need a few words of motivation!
So...I've just started this week of gettting back to the calorie counting and the exercising regularly. And yes, I know things will start dropping off (the pounds that is)! But I've gained 1/2 a pound so far this week! I know, I know...my body will take a while to adjust to getting back to this lifestyle, but it's always…

Bad day yesterday
Yesterday I went 750 calories over what I should have and would have gained weight if every day was like yesterday. Dioes a day like that set you back a lot, will I have to do a lot more exercises over the next few days?

Dealing with a partner
Hey all, I just joined recently and thought I would throw an issue out there to see what you all think. Admittedly I am a small guy (5'8" and ~145lb) but I would like to tone up a bit and get rid of the pesky bit of back fat I have. So while my goals are small they are still important to me and I seem to have run into a…

MONDAY goal....join me!
Weekends KILL my progress. Especially these last few. So we have a quiet weekend planned and my goal is to weigh what I weigh today (friday) or less when monday comes. It is just time for me to get real and make better choices on the weekends!

Goals
Life in general is all about goals. Weight loss and changing your life is obviously about setting goals. Small ones and then our personal overall goal weight. But, I personally believe that since we are not just dieting here we are making lifestyle changes that we have to make other types of goals besides just what the…

Rough days
When I started on Monday I was SO pumped, it continued Tuesday. Yesterday I hit a bump, and today I let it fall apart. I didn't even go to the gym! I'm hoping to find the engergy to look at tomorrow as a fresh start and do it all over, but I feel like I've messed up the good progress I've already made!

100 lb challenge June 14th
Hey everyone! So our results aren't what we are hoping for so far this month, maybe this year, but we can either stay put or keep moving towards our goals. I have been making excuses for months now, busy with the kids, work, house is a mess, etc. I made a commitment to myself yesterday to start fresh. Planned a full weeks…

JULY GOAL CHALLENGE (JULY 7 - JULY 13)
Hello JGC pals... Hope your 4th of July was a great one. I was camping with the family and enjoyed many naughty foods and tasty beverages (plus, my consumption of water was lacking)! I stepped on the scale this morning and it was the same as last week. So I am not dissapointed... I was expecting a 3 lb weight gain. All my…

The first several weeks were great, losing at least a pound a week, but now I've hit a wall. I know that happans, but I've only lost 13 and I have AT LEAST 20 pounds to go…

Looking for a fellow newbie to be my fitness buddy!
I'm one of those people who do better with things if I have someone right there next to me. I think it would help me if I had a fitness buddy I could make goals with, and check in with every day. I am currently addicted to soda, and junk food. If you are in a similar boat with me, and would like to have a friend to go…

Having a hard time working out!
Hello there, I am having a super hard time working out! I have three little girls, one a 5 month old baby. My husband is a full time student and works part time after school. I am a stay at home mom, our funds are limited so I can't go join a gym and pay for childcare there which is a rip off. We live far away from any of…

moving on from divorce
Ok, so last night my soon to be ex dropped the kids off. He bought a gym and a tanning package right after we separated in December and has been losing weight, getting trim and a nice golden brown. Plus he's dating some other woman. :grumble: Yuck, me on the other hand just gave birth to our 2nd child, in March, so I have…

What's Wrong?
I lost seven lbs. in two months, but this past month I have only lost 1, maybe 1.5 lb. Why is it taking so long?? I wasn't recording what I ate in those first couple months, but I think it was under 1000 calories a day, and I have since increased it to 1200 or 1300 + exercise (and yes, I am eating those calories too). Any…

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…

I was only 7 lbs away from my goal!!! but then I met a new guy and I am having a hard time, I gained 5 lbs back. He wants to eat out all the time. If we are not eating out we are…

I'm struggling...follow-up...and thank you.
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…
