C -> B
I've lost 10 lbs of fat so far, and gained 6 lbs of muscle. Cool, right? I've gone down a cup size, but not a pant size. :sick: WTH? Why must the universe toy with me like this? Am I destined to be pear shape forever? Arg! :sad:

It can be done!!
I wanted to see what would happen if I did not use MFP for two weeks. Needless to say, I have lost 3 pounds!! :oD I cannot believe it! I trained myself enough on here that I can moderate my eating and still lose weight!! SOOO very excited! hehe

I ate 5 slice of pizza ( I know that was enough calories for the week) I also had a small piece of cake. Mother's day My Husband took me out for dinner and because of…

jumping back on the wagon
I've been on and off the wagon for a while now. I seem to do really good some days and really bad others. I wake up very early for work (4:30am) and am up and going until 10:30pm. I can usually do really really well - food wise - until about 4pm... then I want to eat my house. Nothing seems to satisfy my cravings. And for…

Not feeling the greatest today...
So I've been on here for 2 weeks and I've been doing EXCELLENT with my weight loss....8 lbs in 2 weeks isn't half bad! Thanks to this site I've been extremely motivated and it is what helps me do so well on my "lifestyle" change. Today, though, is the first day I've felt like I'm on a diet. I'm having a hard time drinking…

feeling good for a change
Finally!!!! I have been really struggling with food for a while now. This is my second day of being RIGHT ON TRACK!!! Sure there are still numbers here and there in my food diary, but I have not found a 40 calorie food with 8 grams of protien, no fat and 30 carb grams. I went to my insurance company's website last night…

My mother must hate me:o)
I called my mom to ask what time I should go over to her house to give her a mother's day present. She said she'd call after church. She called and said she wanted to have me over for lunch so I wouldn't have to cook. (How nice right?). I get there and she's bought the biggest bucket meal from KFC:sick: I do not eat that…

in a bit of a rut
So, I don't really know why I'm posting this except that I guess I just need to get it out! I don't talk to my family about it because they think I will break, and I don't want sympathy! I've always had esteem issues, even as a child, then as a teenager I got involved with a mentally, verbally abusive boyfriend. He was my…

Ok I had a very bad day, no i did not slip off my diet that is why i am here right now. i want so badly to just go to the cabinets and stuff my face and say screw it!!!! But I know I would hate myself tomorrow so I came here to stop myself. I think maybe I should take martial arts training so i can legally kick someones…

OK. so i joined this site a while back, but i have just recently started to really get on and log in every day. I have been struggling for the last 4 or 5 years to lose all this weight that i have put on my body. I need to lose around 70 lbs total. So far, this year i have only lost 3! So needless to say i have a long way…

FRUSTRATED
I tried a new exercise DVD and I just checked to see if my measurements were any different. NO CHANGE. UGH. I want to do something that works. So far nothing I try seems to make much difference.

ewwwww I'm gross
I went to this brunch today and they had fruit and pastry trays there along with a cheese tray. I took a bunch of watermelon and pineapple but my friend said " OMG YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!!!!" It was a slice of lemon poppyseed loaf. It looked delicious so I had a slice. And another and another. I had three slices. I came on…

trying to remind myself...
that I WILL get my butt back on track! I had a crazy fun weekend. My exams were finished and I began my summer vacation on Friday with food and alcohol. Saturday was bad as well, my sister graduated from college and since she's in so many of those over achiever clubs and honors societies and programs, we had to attend…

woot woot
I can't believe it but I was able to do my full workout today...as frickin' lousy as I felt yesterday I didn't think I had it in me! I've been diligent about drinking my water, too...and that seems to be helping "perk me up".

Be proud
THIS is for all the ppl having bad days, thinking that their goal is too far away! wanting to give up.. LEARN TO ACCEPT SELF: The most common reason people lose interest in exercise / dieting is due to unrealistic goals. Some see the images in the media or television and this coveys the message of how we are supposed to…

What's your reward?
We all have health and fitness goals that we are trying to reach. Perhaps even some little goals that take us step by step to reaching that "ultimate goal" that we have set. I think we've all learned that food should not be a reward. ( But sometimes still like to reward a great workout with extra treat...:blushing: ) So…

no more 200's
I weighted myself today and for the first time in 5 years I am below 200. (199.5) Yeah.... Just wanting to share. About 3 weeks ago I wasn't loosing. And It was because I wasn't eating all my extra calories from working out. I started eating more like more fruit, nuts, and reduced fat wheat thins, string cheese and things.…

Dang it!
I have been doing so well....but today a road block! Last night I thought, "Oh, I'll take some spinach salad leftovers from the Mother's Day dinner to school for lunch." Well, I had a duh moment cause when I opened the lid it was all nasty, wilted, and partically frozen! Total wash out. Sad thing I didn't have time to go…

Thanks everyone!
I was struggling to not eat anything before bed (have done my calories for the day) so started reading messages here instead. It's now time for bed, and I no longer want to eat!!! So thanks everyone for the great posts and encouragement you share with everyone. It really makes a difference. I'm still on track and continue…

Downer
So, after 6 months of constant effort to get my life cleanly back on track, i decided I'd speak with the air force recruiter today. Turns out that my body weight/height aren't my real issue... my past drug issues will keep me squarely out of the military. Permanantly. I asked if a notorized polygraph test confirming I've…

Finally!!
I can post that I have lost my first 20 lbs. Feels so much better than 19lbs somehow!! It has been slow but unlike the other thousand times I have tried, this time I will succeed!! Thanks to all fellow MFPers and to its creator.

Well, I'm coming back to this...
Well, since my last post in early March - I decided to take a couple months and see if I could do the whole weight loss thing without this site. I definitely realized how much this site helps me LOSE the weight. I did very well, and maintained my weight over the past 2 months without recording anything. However, now me AND…
