Wow... I need help.
So, school has gotten to me. I stopped going to Fresno State, moved back to my hometown and now going to a community college. It's not anywhere where I wanted to be now, and neither is my weight. I lost 20 pounds in the first 3-4 weeks I was here. And now, I've taken such a long break, it feels like I'll never be able to…

This time I will be successful
For the last few years, I have tried and tried the "healthy lifestyle" change. For the last few years I failed and failed some more. I was only gaining weight at a rate of 1/2 lb a month so it wasn't all that noticeable. I really enjoyed drinking(alcohol), and eating whatever I wanted. I continually kept telling myself…

a little disapointed
:indifferent: Today was my first weigh-in, one week from my "official" start. I am down one pound, which I guess is better than nothing, but I was hoping for a little more, esp. considering I weighed myself several times during the week and I was down 2 lbs a couple days ago. I didn't eat anything particularly salty or…

Cleaning up...again
So I've pretty much disappeared for the last month. It's been a busy, crazy and stressful month. I lost four pound last week and I am thinking it was a fluke since I am back to 145 this week.

I'm Frustrated & CONFUSED....need help from someone who has
Hi. Today is the beginning of my 4th week with MFP. It put me on a 1200 calorie diet, which I've been following for the past 3 weeks, and I lost a pound the first and second weeks, but this past week I lost nothing! I'm so frustrated.

Over 1100 calories....
Okay, so yesterday I had a bad day. Although I didn't eat any "junk" food, I still managed to eat just under 1100 calories extra. When I finished logging in all my food it MFP told me I would be 4.5 heavier in 5 weeks if everyday were like yesterday. That was a reality shock for me. I love that feature cuz it really puts…

Went way off track
I was doing so good. Then I got really sick for about 2 weeks. I lost all motivation. I gained 5 pounds. I feel like giving up. I find myself getting mad at 2 of my friends who have lost over 20 pounds. I guess it's jealousy. I feel like I can't do it. I need motivation. That's all I guess. :heart: Kels
