am i losing slow or is it just me?
Hi all. Ive been on the site for a month almost exactly now. I have 30 pounds to lose and have lost approx. 4 of them so far, which is great... I am discouraged, however, because alot of the folks that i saw coming in around the same time as me are up to 10 or more lbs lost! So ive become a little anxious I do the diet by…

Weighed in at the doctor's office
I went in for my yearly physical and weighed...169 lbs! The doctor's scale is pretty accurate, so I tend to believe that number a whole lot more than the one from my home scale. I haven't been this weight in about 3 years!!

I'm just wondering...
I've seen a couple of threads on here dealing with plateaus... (Haha! a 'couple') I'm one week into my second month, and I'm making steady progress, but it's such a daily struggle... I read someone to say they felt it got a bit easier into the second month. I wondered if anyone has any encouraging words to say on this? I'm…

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…

5-mile run
What was I thinking???:noway: Running the "Cherry Creek Sneak" tomorrow which is a 5-mile run. So far 4-miles is the farthest I've gone. I'm just hoping I'll finish before they roll up the finish line & open the streets back up to traffic. (lol) Wish me luck! :happy:

So Hard
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…

So Excited!
Today is the first day that I actually have "leftover" calories!!! I did not think it could be done...

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…

Have you been noticing...
that you're getting more looks from the opposite sex lately? I have and it feels great! I was walking around the lake last night and I had to keep passing this guy fishing and he kept looking at me when I went by. Or, wait a minute, maybe he was looking at my boobs? hahaha, they were bouncing while I held my stomach in and…

I am amazed and feeling really good about myself right now. I'm now at 210 and my next goal is to get below 200. :love: Thanks to everyone here for your info and…

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…

so, I'm 1/2 way there
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
I've been working since January on losing weight and becoming more healthly and have been really happy with the progress I'm making but this week has been a complete bust. I was traveling on Saturday and knew I wouldn't be able to exercise. I ate really well all day but then, I got home late Saturday night had a craving…
