Hit the big 40 and that isn't my age.
I knew I was getting close to hiting that 40 lbs loss mark. Cheating a little by weighing after my 2hrs at the gym, but at this point I take what ever I can get. :explode: Now for the next big mark. breaking 300 lbs which is only 11 lbs more bls to go.

Blech...
I'm just feeling really icky and even though I'm really sticking to my diet, I feel like I'm gaining weight. I've been conducting an experiment to show my husband how much weight fluctuates during the week, weighing myself every day (he bought a scale for the house :grumble: ), and it's really not doing me any good. I've…

Hi All, I just posted my photo and it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I did it to motivate me to be able to show you all different pics as I lose the weight. I am at 258 and look like this. I am determined in one month to change that pic and let all you see the difference.

Is having leftover calories bad??
Hi. I've been counting calories for about a week now. My daily allowance is 1200, however cos i also burn off about 500 each day at the gym this increases to 1700. Since starting this there has not been one day when i've consumed my total allowance, normally i have about 600 leftover each day. Just got on scales and i've…

I'm needing support/motivation... *warning - long!*
I apologize in advance because I feel like this is going to be a mini life story/pity party - I just really need some words from people that aren't my family or close friends.. Short back story: I have always struggled with my weight. My heaviest was definitely high school when I weighed about 230 pounds. I got down to…

I'm a loser..FINALLY!
Well, after 3 weeks of gaining weight by "trying it my own way" I decided to get back to counting calories (I've stuck with the exercise throughout) and I lost a pound this week! I even convinced my partner to get on board and count his calories too, and he lost 6 pounds this week! It was great motivation for both of us to…

blew it big time today!
Today turned out to be an extremely stressful day for me at work. Being an emotional overeater, I came home from work and devoured a hamburger, hot dog, with buns of course, corn on the cob with butter, then proceeded to have ice cream and some chocolate candy. I know we all have these days from time to time but I am…

I've been using MFP for just over 3 months, and have lost 13 pounds, with 12 to 13 left to go. The weight has come off slowly, a half to one pound a week. I would like to see a little faster drop, like a pound a week. I've read here in the posts that the less you have to lose and the closer you get to your goal the harder…

Feeling Kind of Disappointed in Myself
I'm feeling a tad bit under the weather today, but normally when I go to the gym, I would do atleast two hours of cardio. Today, I could only do 45 minutes on the treadmill due to this massive headache I have. I feel really disappointed that I didn't live up to my expectations and do my typical work out. Has anyone else…

You can find motivation in the weirdest ways
So I got up to do my yoga today and I really didn't want to. My boyfriend and I are going for an hour walk later (both have the day off!) so I was like whatever with the yoga. I didn't do it. I go to take a shower and shave my legs and as I'm shaving, my calf happened to be flexed and I felt it. Holy crap it was like a…

Facing the monster again

Help!!
Okay I don't know what happened... I was doing really well, but I think I started to resent the fact that I couldn't eat anything I want... so I have gotten into a horrible habit of just eating WHATEVER I WANT until the point that I almost feel sick. I don't know what's wrong with me. For like five days now I have…

Need a little help...
So I've been doing really well. I've lost 13 pounds in my first two weeks (don't know what that was all about, but I always lose really quickly in the beginning), and now I find myself going on ridiculously long walks and exercising a LOT just so I can have the foods I crave. Yesterday I went on a total of 2 hours of walks…

bloated
I've been here for about 2 months now and at first I was seeing great results: healthy amounts of weight lost, only 1 pound per week, eating habit changes, many small meals instead of few big ones, less bingeing, starting to eat healthier overall, muscle tone, etc. Well I've had a ridiculous amount of bloating lately and…
