Help! All I want to do is....
EAT. I don't know why but I just want to eat everything in sight. I just had this huge salad and my mouth just keeps saying more. So I tried a bottle of water, that didn't work, Then I had a Special K bar because I'm craving chocolate and a coffee to go with it. But my body is still saying eat, eat, eat. What do I do? My…

Partying + Weight Loss does not equal
I am feeling pretty bad this morning. I went out last night and drank quite a bit. Which kind of negates the fact that I ran 3 miles yesterday. I wasn't planning on getting drunk but it just happened. And to make things worse when I came home, I started munching on anything I could find, and lets just say it is not the…

New to the site, and pretty excited.
I have been using this for about a week now and it has really really helped me keep track of what I am consuming. The healthy eating has become really easy as a matter of fact, but the problem is once I run out of my good food then I eat crap. I get a check every two weeks, so I usually buy just enough food to last those…

Been away from it for awhile
Hi, Don't know why, but lately I've lost all motivation. I don't think I'm up in pounds, but I'm finding it hard to stick to it. Does anyone else feel this way from time to time? and can I snap out of it? I really do want to lose the weight, but sometimes I just feel like giving up. Does anyone have any good advise for me?…

Hello I just wanted to say this morning when I stepped on the scale I was 10 lbs lighter I stated my diet on 10/23. it's amazing how when you decided to change your eating habits you start fitting in to your clothes much better.

I feel terrible
Last night when we went out of town for the evening, my hubby saw his favorite fast food place so we had to stop there. We hadn't eaten there in two years, so it sounded good. It tasted good going down and I ate too much. All night and this morning I feel SOOO bad, physically. I think I just hadn't eaten stuff like that in…

Very Sad Girl
Hey guys, I haven't been on the site this last week, haven't even logged my food or anything. I've just been very depressed and of course, eating my sorrows away (which didn't work). I thought that I should post this here because I know that you guys are such great and supportive people, and I also know that it would help.…

I made it through my first week
I can't believe it, I just started taking control of my weight instead of my weight taking control of me and in just one week I lost 4.5 pounds just by watching what I eat and reading all the wonderful things that all of you out there have to say. All I can say is that there is a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow if…

Just need to vent and know I'm not alone.....
Does anyone ever feel like "what is the point". I mean, I have done so good in the past two weeks, I am down 10 pounds and am sticking to my eating plan and exercise routine, I don't see a difference but I am proud of myself, and then someone takes my picture and I still look like a beached whale. I know it takes time but…

Struggling....
Okay - this is not a typical post from me. I know I can get myself on track, but I have to vent a bit to be real about what just happened, clear out this bad energy and move on. So here goes..... I have had a really bad two week stretch. I pulled a glute muscle, can't run and even walking is a bit tough. But I have been…

My first day ... need to rant
Ok so as you all know I started this officially today. I've been trying to eat healthier and go out partying less (being at PSU it is incredibly hard to do) for awhile now but today I was officially to start actually counting calories. It started out good ... I woke up and did some crunches and leg lifts and things like…

I MET MY GOAL!!!
When I found My Fitness Pal just about 6 weeks ago, I was at my all-time high weight (not counting pregnancies). Since then, I have lost 13 pounds, and reached my goal weight as of this morning!!! I didn't plan to lose the weight so quickly....I was supposed to be on a 1-pound-1-week track. I guess my metabolism had other…

My new vocabulary...
Had a visit with my doctor about some icky lower back pain, and he looked at my chart and added up my weight loss... I said "yeah, I've lost some weight'. and he said something I found very interesting....he said I had "released" the pounds. That they had served their purpose and I didn't need them anymore. Whoa. Powerful.…

We went into engagement pictures and I had to buy smaller…

Unable to exercise for one week!!!
I have just come back from speaking in a Ladie's conference in a very poor part of the country where I work. Had an absolutely WONDERFUL time both spiritually and socially with these gals. So many of them commented that I looked YOUNGER and BEAUTIFUL, but because I have lost inches and not many pounds they could not put…
