THANK YOU MIKE
:flowerforyou: I know I'm rather new here, but I cannot thank you enough for this site. I truly feel, for the first time ever, that I will be able to meet my goals. I am not a person to go to meetings for weight. Hate them. I had found a different website, before I found this one, that offered a prize to the people who…

Mother's Day
May 11th is Mother's Day and I am dreading it. I lost my mom to cancer a little over 6 years ago (November 4th, 2002). She only lived for three weeks after being diagnosed as terminal. I was 2 months pregnant at the time, and I didn't tell her :frown: . I don't look forward to Mother's Day as much as I should because my…

Someone finally noticed!
After losing 20 pounds, someone finally noticed my weight loss. A lady at church yesterday asked me if I had lost weight. I said yes and she asked if I had been sick. I told her no, it was deliberate weight loss. It was so nice that someone finally noticed. :happy:

I have met my goal!
I have been using this site since Dec. 15, 2007 and because of all of you and the helpful information you have given I have reached my goal. I have lost 43 lbs. and never thought I would be at the weight that I am as of today. Actually I am 1 lb past my goal and if the weight wants to keep coming off as easliy as it has…

First time in I don't know how long I have a complaint
It's nothing major, just looking for a little advice. So, I'm not one to air my dirty laundry unless I'm completely stumped (and you guys know that I'm definitely not someone at a loss for words usually :tongue: ) But this little scenario has me just baffled! Yes, it's a boy/girl communication issue. Here's the story. My…

Any advice would be nice!!
I'm not new to the site but I have just recently began using the calorie and exercise tracker ( before I logged in a book). Does anyone have any advice they could give me. I'm 5'2" , 165lbs with a current BMI of 29.9. Good Luck to everyone!!!!!

Landlord finally is redoing my bathroom after me complaining for 4 yrs and because she didn't address the issues for so long they had to rip everything, and I mean everything out of my…

starting over this week
So Saturday was my birthday so I decided to take the weekend off. I didn't eat TOO crazy, but I didn't log anything that I ate, and let me tell you, it was great! It felt like the first few days of summer vacation as a kid with no homework. But I did feel a little gross this weekend and my stomach wasn't feeling it's best.…

Lost my motivation
I am 31 years old and in February I had to have a complete radical hysterectomy, which caused some depression. I had been doing really good with logging my food intake and exercising every day but during my recovery time, I could not be very active and I tended to overeat because of the depression. Hence, I gained weight…

Pre-Preggo Pants
So today I thought, What the heck, I'll get out my pre-pregnancy jeans just to see if maybe I'll fit into them, thinking the whole time, "No way, it won't work, I'll just check and see. It'll be really great motivation when they don't." They FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…

This is not working !!!
Hi All. I'm 5.1 and weigh 134lbs - with a goal to get down to 120 lbs. Since joining 2 weeks ago, I've been to the gym 5 - 6 times a week burning approx 400 calories each time on cardio activity along with doing 30 mins weights training. Also cycled 50km over the weekend at a relatively moderate pace. Been eating 1200…

Just so disgusted
Before I start I know just brush it off and start anew but it is just so frustrating!!!!!!! I just feel my whole life has been a struggle with food and weight. My goal was to get healthy not diet. I came to this site to get "control" of what I eat. Well the last 3 days I can't even input my meals I ate so muchand am so…

SUNSHINE!!
Yeah! We have sunshine today! I've decided that I'm going to live my life as if I didn't have a car. There is a grocery store about 3-4 blocks from here, and I'm CRAVING fruit, so, I'm walking there today. When I lived in Mexico and Guatemala, I walked EVERYWHERE and lost weight...so I'm going back to that mentality. I…

nearly there - now what?
I just want to double check something here. I started off on this site not having heaps to lose in a relative sense- I'm pretty tall at 5'9'', and my body was pretty good at distributing fat evenly. I was in my healthy BMI range (which lets me go anywhere from 125-169lbs) and have now just toned up and lost a few pounds…

Good Morning!
I'm so happy today. After anticipating a gain this week, I lost almost 2 lbs! :bigsmile: I started out the week with Mexican food (Yikers!) then Subway on Wednesday, Huge binge on Thursday, and on Thursday night, came down with one doozy of a headcold. I have been logging my calories, but not sticking to it very well. Sick…

Rainy depressing days
How do you all motivate yourselves to work out on days when it is rainy and dreary out? It's been 2 days of this already, and supposed to continue. Any suggestions?

Buddy System
To be honest with you, I have not entered my daily intake in two weeks. I have followed the program by memory except Friday I had a binge.....2nd one in a month (years since the last ones). I keep searching books for the magic pill of weight loss. I know I should be happy that my weight loss is slow and steady but for me,…

Relay for life
I walked last night in the relay and I walked about 3 1/2 to 4 hrs. More than I thought possible and something that I would not have been able to do without the motivation I get from this site. I see what others have done and I think why not me. I was able to turn down down the all you can eat pancake breakfast the offered…

I feel so good about myself ^_^
Today I hit a kinda trail marker for me. I went an entire shift at work without subconiously snacking. (I worked 9am to 4pm) I was even working the SAMPLE COUNTER!! I feel so good about myself today^_^ Usually I can eat a bajillion empty calories at work with the bulk food bins of chocolate and cornchips and such. But No…

I exercised today and it was great!
Today was Day One of my endeavor. I have officially started logging my calorie intake and exercise minutes. I have a feeling it will take awhile to get used to the routine of logging in everything, but I am really going to try to stay on top of it. Even though I'm just on my first day, it does feel good to look back at my…

icanpostit...
Just a thought for the day..... If you think positive and are true to yourself, you can do this. You can meet your goals. Some will do it fast, others will do it slow. The point is, no matter how long it takes, if you are making healthy choices, you are improving you health each day. It is more than just losing weight. It…

Okay so my husband was being nice and took me out shoping since all of my clothes don't fit me (to big) and what do I do. I freak out when I go. I started having a panic attack and couldn't even shop, we left early with nothing. Why am I so scared to go shoping and finding clothes to wear? Sorry this is a weird thing to be…

Tonight is no exception....and I only have 153 cals left! Ugh...I need to lose weight. My job depends on it! GAH! (Sorry I…

Any smokers out there?
I would like to quit and am very worried about weight gain. I have quit before (unsuccessfully of course) but would like to quit quitting and just stop. I have set my quit date for May 4th. Any tips from former and current quitters?
