I saw one of the tvs in my gym on the food channel, Diners drive ins and dives was on where they feature big greasy burgers and pizzas and fried *kitten*. Torture for a food addict like me :#

I'm awful with self sabotage, my most wished for goal is to get under 200lbs, 2 years ago I had got so close, I got down to 202 but for reasons I cannot remember nor can I fathom or justify, I quit right there, and more recently in the past few months, I got down to 206, then started slacking off again. I'm back up where I…

You could try lifting weights along with your healthy diet, many women don't lift because they are afraid they will get bulky and mannish but that doesn't happen, you build muscle true but it makes you look more toned and proportional and fit. If you combined lifting and cardio and ate healthy I bet the extra lbs would…

College campuses are terrible, when I was in college the healthiest option was subway, which I don't really consider healthy at all. You can do a lot with a microwave however, if you buy steamers you can cook most frozen vegetables that way, some grains like oatmeal just require boiling water (I made couscous today in the…

I've been working so hard to get under 200 right now I'm at 206 so close!! My weight is so stubborn though it's taken me 6 months to lose 18 lbs
-
Omgsh amazing job! I'm working so hard to get under 200 lbs last weigh in for me was at 206.8 another few weeks and I'll get there!!! You must be so proud nothing is more empowering than setting your mind to something as long and arduous as losing a lot of weight and then knowing that despite how hard of a journey it's…

Keep at it, if you can't do it for longer than a minute and a half do it for that long, rest and see if you can do it again, if not, try again tomorrow. Every one starts somewhere, push yourself but also remember that you're new to this and your body is not used to it so it's okay if you can't do much at first, as long as…

I walk a lot too! In the cold me and my dad just bundle up gloves hats and coats and stuff, but in the rain the community center we go to has an indoor track so we walk on that, you could look for a community center that has one, or go to a large building like a mall and walk, or get rain boots and a big poncho and walk…

Well, I've gained and lost the same 20 lbs for years, but this time around is different. For me it started when I changed jobs, I went from a job where I worked on my feet and was absolutely miserable (probably partially because I was overweight and unhealthy) to a whole new job sitting at a desk with substantially less…

Hi there! I've been at this for 6 months now I walk 4-5 miles a day and do about an hour in the weight room, 4-6 days a week. I'm much shorter than you and I weigh more than you do lol! I'm 5'2" and right now I weigh 208! I eat 1400-1800 on average during the week and I let loose a bit on the weekends but I've lost 16 lbs…

So far only 56 sticks of butter but it's my goal to eventually lose 200 sticks of butter!!!! :)

Been on regularly for over 70 days now add me!

Don't let an unmoving scale discourage you, I had a serious unmoving scale problem before I came on here and even a bit after, I've been attempting to eat better (it didn't always work very well) and working out diligently 4-5 days a week for 5 months now and I'm just now seeing weight loss, sometimes it takes time and…

Hi there you sound a lot like me I'm 24, 5'2" and 211 pounds right now, I swear if I could see myself down in the 100s I would just about faint with happiness, I haven't been under 200 since I was 18 or so. I've lost the same 15-20 lbs for years, last time I yoyoed I was at 202 almost under 200 but sadly I quit for…
-
Yayyyy go you! I feel it's really difficult on the first day because you wanna see results and you wanna feel better and be healthy but all you feel on the first day is sore and it feels like where you wanna be is a million miles away, but it's not and you'll get there if you put your mind to it! :)

Qdoba, a naked queso burrito with savory queso, Mexican rice, steak (extra steak) black beans a mound of guac, sour cream, shredded cheese, and then chips and savory queso, I could eat it every day for forever :p
-
Hey you sound like me!! I need to lose 50 lbs too my highest weight was 227 and I also carry it pretty well but man I feel like a slug sometimes, a fat slug. Welcome this is an awesome way to keep motivated and to really keep an eye on what you're putting into your body. I've also yoyoed several times more than I care to…

Hi there! I have about 50 lbs to lose and I don't eat the greatest foods but I do try to eat fairly well, weekends I like to indulge a little bit but keep an open diary and I don't care who sees what I eat because I know I'm not perfect but I'm proud of myself no matter what :) anyone feel free to add me so we can support…

I really enjoyed reading all of you guys' accomplishments!! :) here's some of mine, I'm totally a stress/emotional eater, so I changed jobs from a highly stressful one working in management at a fast food restaurant to working at a desk with a consistent schedule at a drafting and design company. Lowered my stress level…
-
I like the burrito bowl from qdoba, it's only 500 something calories and fills me up and easily fits into my calories for the day, it's only a once and a while thing for me though because I'm always tempted to get chips and queso too :s
-
Hey there it sounds like you've been on one arduous journey but it sounds like now you're doing awesome! I've only been on the wagon 4 months but I'm making progress, people like you who are strong enough to continue despite the obstacles in their paths are inspiring to me! :)

Hi there!! I'm Sara! I have been overweight my whole life ever since I could remember i have always been the 'big' girl or the 'fat friend' I have about 50 lbs to lose and I would love to see what my life could be like if I looked in the mirror and liked what I saw and was PROUD of what I saw. All my adult life it just…
-
Hey there I have seriously felt the same way! For 3 months I walked 2-3 miles a day briskly and did weight machines at least 45 minutes to an hour and nothing. It started to feel like a waste of time since no weight was coming off (and I'm 50+ lbs overweight!) but I started to notice something, I had more energy I felt…

Welcome to MFP! I haven't been here long only about 2 weeks but I love it! I have pcos too I was diagnosed with it when I was 14 ten years ago. I have been overweight my entire life and for once I would like to see what my life could be like if I wasn't overweight. Being the way I am (50+ lbs overweight) feels kind of like…
-
Hey there I have pcos too I've been struggling with it since I was diagnosed at 14, it definitely throws a wrench in my weight loss plans I think but I'm working hard to overcome it. I know that I'm more susceptible to diabetes and other diseases so I'm working hard to be healthy and reverse pcos. Been overweight my whole…
