Keep up the great work everyone!0 -

Hello, i began MFP in october, at 296. i am currently 276, and will be checking in every monday. my goal weight is 160 pounds, but i have never in my adult life been under about 240, so i'm not sure what my "ideal" weight will be until i get there.
for november, december, january and half of february i went on a compulsive overating health plan where you recognize the foods that cause you to binge, and abstain from them. forever. no sugar, no chocolate, no pizza, no fast food, nothing high fat and nothign in a large portion... this worked for me for the first few months, and i got down to 269, the first time i've been that low in about 7 years. unfortunately when i fell off the wagon i fell hard! i have gained back almost 10 pounds, but i am still on myfitnesspal and hoping that calorie counting and having treats in moderation will prevent me from binging in the future.
here is to 20 pounds gone, and another 116 to go~
we are all here for each other, and we can do this. make each day a goal and do your best to get through today. if you don't, try again tomorrow. and if you do, make tomorrow as good as today.

You are all doing so good.........Keep up the good work. I know we can do it and together we will hugsssssssssss to everyone0

Yay! me I am minus another 3!I have 260 left to go but I have not weighed in yet this week not till thursday.
I started MFP on 3-11-08 with out weighing in
I weighed in on 3-20-08 at 433lbs
3-27-08 at 425lbs
4-03-08 at ???lbs Will edit tomorrow!
ok so it would not let me edit today but that is ok I am pretty upset with my weigh in any how.
I am up a half pound this week. I guess it makes me so angry cause I bust my rump in that pool every night. and now I know I have to work harder this week to make it to my June goal of a size 26.
Errr how frustrating!

monday check in:
last week: 276
This week: 276.4
had an unbelievable binge yesterday. could not stop eating and had 2 large pizza subs, small bag of chips, bottle of diet pepsi, DQ ultimate burger, Deep fried chicken burger, large fries, large gravy, large diet pepsi and a twix. i was so ill, i vomitted convulsively for about half an hour.
why do i do this to myself? i know i am an emotional over-eater, and have very compulsive tendencies, but i really don't know why, after almost 30 years of eating this way, i have not learned why i do this or how on earth to stop!
i hate the idea that tomorrow is a new day etc. because it seems like it gives me permission to destroy my goal today and make up for it tomorrow. it's an ongoing cycle. my mom said i should walk into the doctor and tell him i am a compulsive overeater and that i need help, but i don't know how to go about doing that.
i am in meetings all day today, and have a fancy lunch out with the crew this afternoon. here's hoping i don't go overboard at the buffet and try to make it through today.
old motto:
well, tomorrow is a new day!
new motto:
let's just make it through today without binging.
also, i have a little mantra i've developed that i am going to try to repeat anytime i feel the urge to binge:
nothing will ever taste as good as being fit, healthy and happy feels. it's not worth it.
thanks for listening0 -
i think id like to get in on this
i started mfp on 4-12 and my best scale said 310
it has been about a week and i havent weighed in yet i dont know what to do cause my home scale only goes to 300 and im too embarrassed to do it in a public place I will measure this evening0 -
My start date
3/24/08 - 233
3/31/08 - 226
4/07/08 - 220
My goal - 135
Did not do very well this time
4/14/08 - 2190 -
I would like to get in on this. I am 27 years old and I do not know how much I weigh. My profile lists 305 but that isn't accurat. My home scale only goes to 305 and currently I am seeing a BIG FAT E for error, translation " my butts too big" lol
I am determined to this time get it off and keep it off. I lost nearly 70 lbs previously and put it all back on. My husband and I are doing this together so it's making it a bit easier knowing he's there suffering through the elliptical as well.
My first goal - to see a number!
My long term goal is to get to approx. 150 lbs. or whatever I feel looks best on me. Truth be known I'd be thrilled to never ever have to walk into a PLUS size section again.

Okay, why not. I shall also join. I do not recall when I first joined MFP but I was just checking it out anyway.
In January... I weighed 362, and I am now at 336/332 fluctuating back and forth.
Today 4/14/08 is my first real week at MFP. I weigh 336 as of this morning, definitely wanting to loose around 100lbs. I would feel good at 240lbs. My high school weight.
Good luck to wall... 0 -
I will join! I'm just starting (and to motivate me my entire family and all of my friends are doing a Biggest Loser Competition between us all) out.. 4/13/08 I weighed myself at 302lbs. My goal weight for right now is 150ish. So I think i'm qualified to join! I will have to update later on my progress since I just started yesterday!0

I too would get an eror message if i weighed on my home scale so I go to the doc office once a week and weigh myself. It keeps me on track knowing that someone is expecting me every week.0 -
Welcome all the new people! You guys are going to do great!!! You CAN do this! I know it seems daunting sometimes. Just take it a week at a time. Know that the days, weeks, months will pass ANYWAY.......and as that time passes, you will be losing weight with them and before you know it, you will reach your goal. I have confidence in all of you. Good luck! Let me know if you need ANYTHING!

Good morning all! It's the 15th so I am checking in with stats. I forgot to measure today so it's only my weight. I've been off track for a week or so, but am trying to get back on the wagon. But....

down two more pounds! whoo hoo!0 -
Wow this is really motivating. Thanks to everyone who has joined this challenge it gives me the extra inspiration to keep this weight loss going. I was a little confused on how I was going to do after my vacation. Most of the time I tried to eat well (although didn't record anything while I was there) everytime we went out to eat it was grilled fish/seafood without the butter. Although I did cheat more than I would like to admit. Desert sampler shared one night, buttery cheese fondue the next and the way home we had fast food. All in all I didn't do too too bad.
Started MFP 12/6/07 258
April 1st 231 lbs
April 15th 229
Lost *2 lbs*
Total lost 29 lbs
89 to go!!!
Congrats to everyone else. I can't wait until the next weigh in.

You mean I'm *NOT* the only person in the world with that much to lose? Geez, it sure feels that way sometimes! I'm glad to know there are others ;-) My ultimate high weight was 314 - I'm now down to 272. (It took me only about 5 months to lose the first 40 but then I stalled out for nearly a year and gained back 10- but I'm back at it again! Started at 284 sixe weeks ago, and have lost 12 pounds so far). I'd LOVE to be 145 again someday, but baby steps...I'm only looking as far as 250 at the moment :-)0

on april 2 i weighed in at 242
last week i weighed 240
and this week i weighed in at 240
0 pound weight loss this week :grumble:0 -
Hey don't worry too much about it some weeks I lose 3lbs or 1 lb sometimes I don't lose anything. Before my T.O.M. comes I gain up to 5 lbs. I know its just water and will come off in a few days. Just keep with it and you will see the overall benefits and results. Good luck and stick with it.0
