Just checking in. Hi all! Weight has been at a standstill but Ive also been eating over my calories due to stress. And this weekend was crappy due to the holiday eating. Plus I have cramps and Im cranky so I came to work and ate a GF almond brownie for as breakfast. Back on track for lunch, salad it is! I also really need to start doing some HIIT or weights, something more than just treadmill walking.1

HI eveyone. I'm new to my fitness pal communities. I've always done it solo, but now I feel like I need a lot of support because I'm feeling depressed about my weight. I don't know how to join this forum- if anyone can help me out?
Here are my stats:
SW: 225
CW: 219
GW: 120
Weekly goals for May:
No more than 50g of carbs= 7x
Excercise 30 min per day = 5x
Drink 14oz x 6 of water= 7x

Welcome to all the newbies! I think we are a fun bunch! Some of us have been at it a while; some are returning; some are brand new! Hang in there everybody!
@MollMoll821 I was just treadmill walking, and it seemed like I was stalling. So I started adding the elliptical. Currently I do 12 minutes on the treadmill, 5 on the elliptical, 12 on the treadmill, 5 more on the elliptical, and finish out with 12 on the treadmill. I feel really good about this combination. I've only been doing it a week, but I think I will see results on my weekly weigh-in on Friday (and also the last weigh-in of May).

Hi. Although I joined MFP in 2014, I'm just starting to really use it. I've never had to lose weight prior to this 100lb gain. I'm terrified I'll never see ME in the mirror again, but being scared is no reason to not try. So here I go...

Down 7 lbs for the month, extremely happy with that. Up some water weight today, but I ate a lot of carbs and high sodium foods the last couple of days. Heading on a trip this week, so my goal is to bring my protein bars... stick to those for a meal/two meals a day and incorporate LOTS of walking.
My goal is to get to ONEderland this next week of June!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo close.
You ladies continue to inspire me to keep going, even on the days when the scale is a jerk.

Just had to share on this last day of May! I worked really hard this month to make my goal to be under 200 and I've just squeaked under today at 198.8:) I know the accountability of this monthly challenge, along with my MFP friend's support has helped me reach that goal. Thank you and onwards to another month of goal-making for us all!4

May Close Out
~ Well I didn't gain, that's a plus, I lost about 1 lbs (on the upper range). I didn't reach my weight goals, but I think I'm only now this week getting back into a regular body cycle/rhythm after my April surgery, so I won't beat myself up. Just staying the course and logging. My upward range has gone down, my clothing are looser this month. I'm firmly in a size XL/L 16 (down from 20-22 in Nov) and getting rid of clothes that are way too big. Face is looking clearer - better skin tone. I was able to bowl 3 games (increased strength now - that's a huge win). Tailbone pain is reduced (using acupuncture).

Try to add a little more lean protein and fiber to keep you from hungry. 1/4 cup of plain cottage cheese and a handful of berries is my go to.2 -

Total loss this month of 7 lbs!!
Goals for May:
Log all my calories daily
Drink at least 1.5 L of water daily
Stay under my calorie goal daily
30 minutes of exercise at least 3 days/week
Progress:
I did log my calories every day. For my other three goals I did have a few days here and there when I did not meet them. I also successfully navigated Mother’s Day, a birthday, and a Memorial Day cook out!
This month I met a goal I neglected to mention; getting my BMI out of the obese range!3
