Fell off the Wagon
Gosh...I was doing so well and then fell off the wagon about 9 days ago. I started a new job and the stress was so bad, I fell back into all my old habits, so I quit my job. I freelance also so I am trying to keep freelancing so I don't have to go back to retail. Trying to get back into it, but my stress levels get really…

Need *ss kicking
I am gaining weight. Slowly but surely, it's creeping back up on me. Party due to eating a bit too much, partly due to not kicking my butt hard enough at the gym. Banks, where is that super-motivational post you wrote . . . the one where you pushed yourself just that much harder . . . Need to get off. My. Bum.

Time to give away the pants...
So I put on my pants this morning and I have to say I must give them away to the youth ranch or something because they just don't fit me anymore...... They keep falling off me when I walk. :) Total of 20 pounds dropped and now two pant sizes. Time to get me some new ones, not to many because I won't be wearing them to long…

Not sure what I am doing wrong
Hi Everyone, I have been using this board for about 2 weeks now. For the most part I never thought of myself as a bad eater and I am fairly active, but this site has helped me cut down on my calories and motivated me to boost the intensity of my work outs each week. However, I haven't really seen any change. I have gone to…

Motivational Thinking
I have seen, over my time here, lots of different ways to go about achieving a healthy lifestyle; I have also seen many people on here looking for support because they feel like their situation is hopeless or daunting. While I realize there is no way for anyone to "do it for you", I wanted to share with you some of the…

Emotional eating
So I had a rough Monday and...(get ready for it)...I ate!! I went over like 500 calories!:sad: Anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with that? I always regret it, but I can't seem to think about that when I start. It's obviously not in the forefront of my mind and I have to make watching what I eat a conscious…

back in my size 12's
I wrote last week about how my sweats kept falling down on me and decided to try a pair of my size 12's. Guess what - They fit, I am so excited. In the last couple months went from a size 16 back to a 12!! I'm still weighing the same which is a bit discouraging but it's worth it to fit in my pre pregnant pants again!! The…

Blew a whole month
Hey guys, I haven't been on here much in the last month or so. I haven't stuck to any challenges or anything. I don't know what happened. Well, I know some of what happened. Life kind of happened and I have had a hard time getting back on track. I think the hardest thing for me is that I think of where I could be right now…

Need a kickstart
I feel terrible today (Aunt Flo is in town:grumble: ), and I need some encouragement to get started with my workout for today. I feel good though, that I took two days off from counting calories, etc....and didn't gain an ounce!! Anyone want to kick me into gear today?

A) Water weight during 'that time' and how it affects your mental, and physical. (including you weight) B) Ways to battle the fatique and emotions that inevitably come with the…

Transitioning from day shift to night shift
I am starting a new job and the shift will be from 7p-7a. This will be my first night job ever so I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on eating habits when you're having to work all night and sleep all day. I'm not sure how hungry I'll be at night while at work but I'm thinking not too much. That leaves coming home at…

Cheating After Bad Weigh-ins
Okay, here's a problem I have and I wonder if anyone shares this with me. Whenever I weigh myself, and find that I haven't lost a pound (or God forbid, gained a pound or ounce or two), I just say, "Screw it!". And then I cheat. I get so disappointed after working SO HARD to count every ounce of food that enters my mouth,…

my biggest problem
My biggest problem is when I eat something that I feel ruined my diet, so I just give up that day and eat whatever and I tell myself that I will start tomorrow. I also have a problem with logging a cheat, so also when I do cheat I just give up because i feel that everything has to be perfect and when its not then I give up…

Weighed In Today
Hi everyone....well it was my week two weigh in today. I lost 2 pounds (2nd week on MFP). I should be happy right but for some reason I seem sad and disappointed. I worked very hard to lose this week and really hoped for about 4 to 5 pounds as I know my calorie intake is a lot less than in previous weeks and months and I…

please cheer me up!
I am devastated. Tonight at basketball training we were playing five on five and in a tussle for the ball my finger dislocated, breaking a piece of bone off the volar plate in the meantime. I now have to see a surgeon to make sure that everything will heal properly and to get a special splint fitted while they see if they…
