I'm 5'10" and when I got pregnant with #2, I weighed 202 pounds. By the end of the pregnancy I weighed 230. After I had the baby (and all that comes along with it) I wound up weighing around 220lbs. So I basically gained about 20lbs of fat. I've since lost all the baby weight & then another 13 pounds. If I had to do it…

I've petered out on the last two month's challenges. Let's see if I can stick to it this month. Hoping to be down 6 by the end of May. Will check in tomorrow with starting weight.

If this were true, everyone would be doing it.

I lost 30lbs using WW. I works in basically the same fashion as MFP does. Teaches you to eat right, portion control, better choices, etc However, I really like MFP better for two reasons. 1. It's free and 2. It's got better community support.

I don't know how many time's I've typed then deleted mean comments. They really aren't helpful. I try to remind myself that there is a person on the other side of the words being received.

I'm simple. 16oz black coffee, 4 TBSP of Fat Free Half & Half & 1 TSP of Sugar, 64 calories.

I'm tall. I carry my weight well (I actually do, but look a hell of a lot better being 26 pounds lighter) and also, I'll start on Monday. I told myself that for almost the entire 2014 year...finally started doing something about it this last December.

AKA, you're in maintenance. Exercise extra hard today, tomorrow and the next day. Don't eat all day and binge at dinner...you've got several options. Pick the one that works best for you.

Wore a pair of size 12 jeans to work today.

Confession: I have a pretty nice backside and I didn't even realize it. I was turned around, looking in the mirror with a mirror so I could see how long my hair was getting when I noticed what a nice hourglass shape I've acquired since losing weight. And, it's only going to get better from here. Isn't my husband a lucky…

I weighed my pear on the postage scale at work (didn't do it before hand at home). A co-worker saw me, so I had to explain I weigh my food so I can figure out how many calories are in it. This concept totally confussed her. I didn't even bother to explain.

I visit our Courthouse regularly for work. Just today, the CO's (correctional officers) who sit out front wouldn't let a girl go see the judget because she was wearing flip flops and PJ pants. They told her it was inappropriate attire to see the judge in. These people live in a different reality from the rest of us.

I confess: I had absolutely nothing positive to say to a girl who thought "calorie counting is annoying" and a recent health even has made it a necessity to lose weight and it's "unfair" and how "I hope my life is worth it". All I could picutre was a pouty 4 year old stomping their feet shouting it's not FAIR! So I thought…

Way to exercise self control!

Things will work out later. I've had 2 miscarrages and they're devestating. Especially if it's a baby you've been trying really hard for. However, I now have a healthy 4.5 yr old and 1.5 yr old. I just tell myself everything happen for a reason and you work through it one day at a time.

Don't try to lose weight while you're pregnant. That's a awful idea and exactly why you can't find any "secret formulas" when you google it. Try to lose the weight before you get pregnant. After you concieve #2, exercise regularly and eat a proper diet.

Maybe they've had a bad experiences with people they've hired in the past, so this time around they want to be extra sure they hire someone who fits in with the "organizational culture". This one time at work, we hired a girl who seemed great. Interviewd well, was super eager to work, blah, blah, blah. She was the WORST…

If she won't listen, that's her problem. She'll just have to learn on her own. Tell her about MFP, maybe if she logs everything she eats (assuming she does it accurately) it will be an eye opener for her.

Make changes that you can live with forever.

Did you know, they make harnesses for chickens? Yes. I just learned this yesteardy. Why? Because why not? Now we can all take our chickens for a stroll down the street.

Oh, thank god. I'm not the only one...it's like you know better, but just can't help yourself.

Wow, I confess that I'm a retard. I've always been reading it like Tin Canon A String, not Tin Can On a String. What an Idiot. I'm gonna go put my head in a hole now.

If it's been 3 weeks you should have lost something by now. How much do you have to lose? My guess is that you're eating more then you think you are. Do you weigh your portions? You'd be shocked at how very small 2 oz of pasta looks on your plate. Your food diary and stats are locked, so it's hard to tell what the issue…

Hahaha! Someone should suggest that to the MFP staff!

I hope you have a happy someone to release that desire on! That's awesome!!!

Sounds like typical symptoms of PMS (especially the crying over it part). Give it a few days, you'll be right as rain.

I do the same, but it's because I don't want to waste water. If they don't look dirty, they don't need to be washed. Everything else; shirts, underwear, socks...must be washed after a single use.

Sometimes I really want to talk $h!t about my co-workers on here, but I'm afraid that by some weird coincidence they'll get on here and read what I've said about them and know how I really feel. I put on a nice face at work in an effort to maintain a good working relationship with everyone in my office :#

You aren't going to lose 40 pounds by July. That is unrealistic and you're setting yourself up for failure. Why the deadline? If you wanted to be 40 pounds lighter by July you should have planned a little better and started to lose a few months ago. I think 15-20 pounds is more realisitic and that's if you exercise and eat…

I really don't appreciate the Panda Express advertisements on MFP while logging my lunch.
