ahhhhhhhh
Okay so I'm in college (I just got done with the spring semester) and for some reason, every time finals week comes, I chow down and stop recording and stop exercising and now it's really really hard for me to get back on the ball... especially because I'm back at home now and there is sooo much unhealthy food in our…

Whining
Ok, I've lost 17 lbs since March 1st, and I am a college student, so I hadn't seen my parents since I started this new direction. When I saw them, they couldn't even tell that I'd lost weight!! I had told them as it was progressing, but when I saw them in person, they were like, are you sure? Bah.:mad:

Coming back...
Thoses memebers of MFP who've been here since before 2008 may remember me, although I didn't post all that much. My original goal was to lose about 14lbs because I was going travelling to Australia and wanted to be fitter and more comfortable in my own skin. A couple of weeks before leaving in early March I achieved my…

How do you feel when....?
Ok one of my "fears" or anxiety. It's hard to describe. what do you say when someone says "you look so great now that you lost that weight" or "wow you lost weight you look great" I always feel like SH--!!!! What I looked like CR-- before? Does "everyone" measure us by how "thin" we are? I don't want to say thanks I want…

Obsession
I am finding out that I am obsessive about entering my foods for the day and excercise so that I can see what I have accomplished so far plus the not having to write everything down on paper is wonderfule. This site is amazing, easy and the best part it keeps you HONEST on your food intake!:heart: The hardest part for me…

Support from Husbands......
So my weight loss has been slow, but I have lost almost 7 lbs now. People have started to notice and have been telling me that I look thinner, look great, etc. Well, my husband has not said anything….and I have not really expected him to (I don’t think he would notice if I lost or gained 10 lbs), however, he came home the…

Mothers Day 5k...I'm nervous
As background info: I have always been the person to say, "I don't run!" or "Look at this body, not built for running. It's built for sleeping and eating." My mom and I have been running (I use the term loosely since I usually whine and walk while she jogs in place) a 5k together on the 4th of July since I was 16 (I'm now…

Help me understand
Ok - so I've been doing crazy good on my caloric intake/exercise/water intake. Last night, I was hungry and wanted a little snack, so I ate one fidgcicle (40 calories) and a pack of cheeze-its (100 calories) - thus only going over by 140 calories. I hop on the scale this morning and gained 3 lbs!? How is that possible?

someone bet me...
That I couldn't lose 14 pounds by June 28th. Should I take him on? I'm afraid, b/c I have only lost like 4 pound in almost 2 months. I've hit plateau after plateau. I would love to take him on, but am afraid that I won't do the right things to actually lose it! I'm 167 right now. I would love to be 155-150 by then. How…

People not noticing my weight lose
So I flew home to go visit my family after not seeing them for nearly six months, and not a single person mentioned the fact that I have lost weight. I have probably lost nearly 25 lbs since I was home last, and was using the trip as motivation to surprise everyone with my weight lose, and NO ONE said a thing:mad: :mad: It…

I just can't imagine....
I am down 8 pounds, and I have fought for every single one of them. I just cannot imagine being down 20 or 35. I know from Bank's posts that I am entering a hard phase, week 3. I have never made it past week 4, never. The thought that I may at some point be down 50 is so unbelievable to me, I dare not even think about…

Keeping motivated through Surgery!
I've had an ample bosom my entire adult life. I've always wanted a reduction, but wouldn't consider it until I finished breast feeding, I mean that's what I have them for, right? So my youngest is 13 months now, and I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow! Yes, I'm terrified!!! When you've had looks your entire life at a…

Totally Blew It
I wasn't going to post this, but then I figured the one of the first steps to making changes is the accountability, so, here it goes.....I went (GASP) 1,600 calories over today. What the heck is wrong with me? It started off as just wanting a chocolaty snack while watching one of my shows....next thing I know my show is…

When you feel "fat"...
I am feeling very gross and "FAT" today. You know that term encompasses way more than our bodies? Anytime a woman is feeling down, depressed, angry, or even bored - she starts feeling FAT. I feel that way today, and I don't know why! I'm in a good mood, it's been a great day - I think I'm just insecure today. I wish I knew…

Upper Thirty-Somethings and losing the Pounds
I swear to you it is like my body has changed in the past 3 years- since I hit 35. If I skip a few days of working out it is like starting over- I used to skip 2 weeks and just jump back in! A two week vacation literally put on 8 lbs! That includes walking in theme parks all day- *grumble* and I am just finding overall…

Update on the mammogram
Well I just got back from having more pictures taken and my right breast be squashed in every which way to try and get the mass that they saw out...Unfortunately they could not get rid of the mass and I was told that I have a lump in my right breast. I am waiting for a call for my next test and we will move on from…

Needing Support
I am really just needing to develop a good stable support network of people with similar goals and possible the same struggles as me. My family tries....They say they'll help and support me (cause they could ALL use some weightloss, even more then me). However, they say that and then have big get togethers with junk food…
