I understand people's concern about weight loss, but has no one ever lost/gained a lot of weight overnight from water weight? Periods? Take out food hello :P And we understand that isn't 'true' fat being gained/lost. All the concerned people and I haven't seen one suggest seeing a doctor, just to get a good frame of what…

Hello, I'm not from Weight Watchers but your friendly back and forth is so nice. May I join you?

I'm also 5'6" and when I was eating 1350 calories a day, working out about 3-400 calories 3x a week, eating clean- it was SO HARD to lose- incremental, because my body A ) had little to lose and B ) was used to living on less calories already. You could be retaining water- I'm actually a little alarmed at the 6-7 days a…

Oh man, I read all these comments and have gotten those! When I was losing weight with my wedding as a goal, I got A LOT of unwelcome comments. "If you turn sideways you'll be invisible!" "Don't lose TOO much weight." (Don't put those impossible standards on me- you seem to be screwed if you do and screwed if you don't)…

We can do it!

Honestly having struggled with this in the past, I say either know your limits at dinner- or ask your husband to support you by changing a few things with dinner, or make your own healthier dinner. The only thing I'd say really should be paid attention to is that people tend to make worse food decisions when starving. You…

I'll try this!

If I could fix it, I'd have you around more.

I'm worried about my job. It's a good job but I'm ridiculously unhappy in it. Worried about what to do; stay because its a 'good job' or leave and start all over somewhere else?

Everyone add me too! I get real inspiration from everybody and accountability when I have active friends on MFP. All my in-person friends won't go to the gym or form a community- those butts. Let's do this together!

I'm at work, trying not to be a time waster but boy is it boring!

Wow I found my post from 2016 and it was crazy! At the time I was 172 and trying Zumba with my boyfriend. Well, I am now at 149 up from 142 for my wedding (he is now my husband) and wanting to get back that lean physique. It's funny how people hear that 7 pound difference and think its nothing, but its truly a shift from…

Does anyone know what a Forensic Pathologist does?

Are you guys still doing anything? I was trying to throw friend requests around so that I have various people's posts and such on my wall. I need those! Feel free to friend me!

YESSSS I HAD THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE! I was SO PEEVED that EVERYONE kept telling me to stop, or saying that now my wedding dress wasn't looking as good, because i lost weight and my 'boobs were gone'. I went from a size 12 to size 6.5, smack in the healthy BMI range, and everyone lost their minds in unhappiness. Crazy.…

What nobody tells you about losing weight; suddenly everyone around you is an expert at how what you are doing is 'wrong', 'too much' or 'a fad'....even when you lose 43 pounds, look amazing, feel great, and achieve more than you did before physically. What nobody tells you about losing weight; they are so supportive until…

I wouldn't be who I was today without what I was before. But good luck trying to find friends in your 30's...who don't drink. Any suggestion to go bowling or camping, is met with either bored stares or harried parents who just can't. And I'm one of those 'unicorn gals' with happiness and chipper-sayings, so everyone…

* Don't touch your face * Keep hair off your face- conditioners and oils in hair get on face) * Sleep with hair in a ponytail or something (so it doesnt rub your face as you sleep or get on your pillowcases) * Wash your face- when you wake up, after a workout, when you get home/before bed * Change pillowcases or at least…

My girl, I am "thin" and still have that anxiety myself. Honestly though, if I see a 'bigger' person working out in the class, I have so much mad respect for them. I have NEVER judged anyone in the gym no matter what they are doing- with the exception of the girls in full on drag queen makeup, I do judge them a little I'm…
-
LOL Thank you random person on the internet who miraculously knows how everyone should eat. Just because for you something is unhealthy does not automatically apply to all others. What about the petite gals who are like 5 feet born with a slow metabolism? 1200 may very well work for them, maybe less if their doctor is good…

It sounds crazy, but I cut dairy from my diet due to a feeling of bloat, and my face began to clear up within a month. I don't know how to prove it to some people, but for me at least, dairy SEEMED to support pus-cysts in my cheeks. Once cutting down on my dairy, those cysts rarely came back except maybe during my period,…

This. Bugs. Me. So. Much. I had to endure a bunch of that being refitted for my wedding dress. Everyone around me, overweight (not judging just saying) telling me to stop, that I'm losing all my good bits, that the dress looked better before. And no I'm not anorexic, I was barely at the BMI and etc where I'm not literally…

I'm thinking about if my family will ever even pretend to be excited about my wedding, or if I'm going to have to rely on the fiance's family to be the only ones showing excitement. I'm excited but the anticipation is dimmed, I guess because I'm their fourth daughter to get married (i have another older sister unmarried…

If I want advice, I'll ask the people who work there for advice. If they give me advice that is substandard, or seems off, I also go to forums, Google, watch Youtube videos. I don't go to the gym to be bothered, and I don't like bothering other people. I like to help by example. Like if I see a girl struggling to keep up…

Sassy classy!

I didn't like it as much, lol. But then again, the app confused me. You guys do any geocaching? Here in SoCal, the hikes are really fun to get to the 'treasure hunt' :D

Dude, I wish I could do 30 by July- its near my birthday. I'm going to try more for 20lbs. That's 1.5 pounds a week and if I can do that that'll be great!

Feel free to add me! i'm looking to do 40 at the max and always need that extra push and people to post successes to!

Binging is a result of too much denial. Here's how I live my life with denying the crappy snacks: Previously, I'd eat cheap cookies or crap pizza or cheap salsa with generic chips. Now, if I want to snack, I find primo stuff. GOOD candy, GOOD pizza, then moderate it. You CAN have a candy, have a donut, have a piece of…

1. Don't stock the snacks in your house. 2. If you are around them, make them a good reward, and not at all once. The snacks will be there tomorrow, and the day after. Reward stress with a fun dance, a song you like to sing aloud, a scream, chewing ice cubes, whatever. Don't reinforce your addiction with more food to…
