I'm really surprised and disappointed in all the people being completely dismissive of how those in our lives can have a huge effect on body image and how we deal with food. Of course those childhood lessons and insecurities are going to effect us. Yes, my mom and dad had a huge effect on how I saw myself and how I…

MFP usually makes you wait 24 hours after friending someone to comment on their stuff. Stupid rule if you ask me.

I think that seems really low for your weight and height. I'm 5'7" , 185 female and my cals are set at 1510. I usually eat around 1600 with eating back exercise calories. You sound really active so you are going to burn more calories in your daily activities than I do at my desk job as well. I'd suggest your up your…

This is so me right now. Its hard not to get discouraged and fall back into old habits. And the worst part is that I'm still making progress and still getting discouraged. Low self esteem is a tough thing to break.

My biggest motivation is myself. I want more energy to help me keep up with life lol. My biggest cheerleaders though are my kids and husband. I know they think I'm beautiful no matter what but I want to show them just how strong I am.

Goodwill and just making the bigger size last for a bit longer than I probably should.

26 here as well. Started at 205 and am currently 186. Looking to lose around 40 to 50 more. Your family is beautiful in your profile pic.

I want more energy. Got tired of being tired all the time, getting out of breath going up a flight of stairs, and not being able to keep up with my kids.

Depends on what you put in for your amount to lose each week. I'm 5'7" 186 female and my cals are currently set to 1510 so yes, yours seems low to me. If change your goal to lose 1 or .5 lbs a week and see what that gives you.

I have this too and I hate it. I don't think it will ever go away but I hope to at least make it smaller.

I hope to lose about 15 lbs by then, maybe 20. I have no clue on sizes.

Tap at home and at work it's filtered tap water.

Adjust your calories if you've lost a fair amount of weight, chug the water, and set small achievable goals

I'm 5'7" and started at 205. Goal is to get to around 140. I'm currently at 186. Feel free to add me

I'm pretty active on here although I've been in a bit of a slump lately.

Ok, I've been feeling pretty discouraged about it this last week. In still making progress but feel like I've only seen neglible changes in my body. I guess I thought that I would notice more after 17 lbs lost

Some people started noticing around 10 lbs loss but not many have said much yet and I've lost about 18 lbs

I have a 5 k in April so I should be But I hate running on the treadmill so I only do it when the weather is nice.

Are they new friends? I usually have to wait 24 hours after friending someone before I'm able to comment on their stuff

Yes I really want to look good this summer. I don't necessarily care about wearing a bikini but I do want to wear shorts without getting painful rashes from my thighs rubbing.

Great thread and some excellent responses here. I never even thought of the effect of weight loss on my skin before.

Absolutely. I started noticing small changes around 3 weeks in. Great job on your loss.

A lot. It never lasted more than 2 weeks usually. I wouldn't see reults right away, get discouraged, and binge on all the things.

I'm about 2 months in and 15 lbs lost so far. I'll give you an add and anyone else can add me too
