Biggest Loser - Me versus my Husband
Have any of you tried a challenge like this? My husband and I are going on a spring break trip to Florida at the end of March. We decided to do a biggest loser competition - whoever loses the highest perentage of their body weight wins $100 from the other person. Now THAT is motivation. But...I am a bit worried that our…

Alright, starting from scratch.
SO! I posted last Tuesday about how sick I'd been for so long and how I was getting completely unmotivated and super discouraged. Well, I did end up going to the doctor like everyone suggested. Did all kinds of test and nothing was conclusive. I did end getting put on an inhaler for exercise induced brochial (sp) spasms…

Birthday cake!
Well, it's about to begin! My son's b-day is this weekend....there will be cake! My husbands b-day is 3 weeks after....there will be cake! MY b-day is one month later...there will be cake! (This one isn't so bad because I plan on having strawberry shortcake which is much lower in fat). Then one month after that is my…

Good gracious!! Learn from my mistakes!
Ok, so, I'm still dealing with one of my big issues... I'm great during the week, but if I'm going out on the weekend I will have too many drinks then when I get home at 2am I need food. And invariably, you don't make the best food choices after drinking at 2am! I usully don't add up the calories cause I think I knew what…

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!!
So as a lot of you know, last week was not the greatest for me...I almost just threw in the towel and gave up. As a result I had gained 2 pounds last week!! :cry: Thanks to all of you (and a lot of work on my part), I weighed in this morning and I lost the 2 pounds that I gained!! :bigsmile: I really feel like I jumped a…

Sick & Tired
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!! I feel like every time I finally get the motivation to get more strict with my diet or work out more often, I get some kind of cold or flu. This damn New England weather!! :mad: I know this topic has been brought up numerous times, but are there any suggestions?? There's no way…

does anyone know...
Does anyone know where I can find a fitness schedule for when I should be doing certain workouts? I haven't been seeing much weight loss, and think it would be easier to workout if I had a calendar or a routine to follow each week, instead of me trying to plan out what I need to work on. Thanks!

A dilemma...is good enough good enough?
Ok, so when I first joined MFP in mid-November 2007, my goal was to lose a stone (14lbs) and as of this week I made it! I'm now 133lbs, which at 5' 7 1/2" is a comfortable UK size 10 (US 6), a size smaller that I was wearing before. I've been trying to lose this weight since I first went to university four and a half yrs…

How can i get my mom motivated enough to start dieting?
She has noticed how much weight i have lost in the last few weeks, and she keeps saying she is going to start her diet on monday and never does, and then on the weekends she always drinks. I tell her to keep trying and not drink, but i cant seem t get her motivated enough to start. HELP!!!!

"extra calories"
Help! The first two or three weeks I was on MFP... I didn't use my "extra calories" earned from working out, and I lost 4lbs. Now that I'm 'using them' I've put back on 2-3lbs. (Maybe it was because I worked out for 60 minutes yesterday and still went over by 300 calories and 134g of carbs!) I know everyone says you can…

NEED TO BE STRONG
I don't expect today to be a good day because a lot of things are working against me. :grumble: My elliptical machine is in dire need to oiling and needs to be disassembled to do so. I have a birthday party to go to, which means cake. My kids were at a dance last night so I went to bed three hours late and a "wrong number…

Weight Loss Group Recommendation
I would love to belong to a weight loss group (like the 100+ pound group, etc) but I am not sure which one I would fit into best. Could you guys recommend a group that would work well for me? I think the added accountability would do wonders! Thanks,:flowerforyou: Kelly

First Weigh in
I just got home from shopping and I went ahead and bought another scale that went up to 350 pounds. I took it out of the box, put the batteries in it, turned it on, and stepped on it while I held my breath. It came up with 345 pounds!:happy: I have lost 7 pounds since Jan 30th. I am so excited that I called everyone that I…

HELP!!!
I will admit it. I am in some major trouble. I started off really well when I joined up. I thought I can do this, and I had lost three pounds my first week just because I wasn't eating as much and got rid of all of the junk food around me. Now, I can't even get motivated to continue. I know I need to. I just don't like the…

What is your reward?
Do you have a reward planned for yourself when you reach your goals? For me, there is a hand-tooled belt with conchas and latigo lacing that is hand made. It is beautiful but costs nearly eighty bucks! No way I can justify that! So, when I reach my goal, I am going to buy that belt (you know cowboy's and their trophy…

weight roller coaster...
I don't know what I'm doing wrong!! I started @ 256 around the end of December. I got down to 236 on the 1st of February, but am back up over 240 now. I have only gone over my calories once, and it was only about 50 calories. In fact, the only thing I ever go over on is my sodium. I do drink my 8-10 glasses of water per…

Finally seeing some resutls!
I've been working hard, counting everything I eat and staying within my 1200 calorie limit, excersizing regularly and the scale has barely budged. In three weeks I've lost 3 pounds! I got on the scale for my weigh in this morning and it said I lost 1 pound and I was feeling pretty disappointed. Then I did my measurements…

I met one of my goals so I got to go shopping! We are going on vacation on Saturday and I needed some new pants and was hoping to get a new swimsuit. (Going to Florida) Well, my jeans are now a size 12! I haven't worn a 12 since I was a teenager! They are a bit snug but they are stretch jeans so the longer I wear them the…
