This sounds like fun. c': I need this to stay on track. My goals are toooo: 1. stop snacking late at night; 2. exercise in some way every day (like you--I'm hoping to acquire a membership to the aquatic/fitness center in my neighborhood); 3. find a solution to my seasonal depression. Cleaning and writing help, buuut so…

CW: 120 pounds GW: 110 pounds (109 if I'm lucky) I'm 5'1" and feel best at this weight. I have a petite build, so even slight weight gain like this really affects me. Hoping to get rid of the extra baggage and make permanent healthy habits! <3

Currently, my non-food indulgences include: - black coffee (nearly calorie-free so I don't count it) - Netflix - HBO - my cat - Pinterest! - writing - buying something on one of my online wishlists I told myself that I'd start buying one music album I like at the end of every good week. Unfortunately, with finals just…

May 4 Me: 3* LNS: 1 The fourth must have been with me today!

Ooh! Ooh! So glad I found this! I have a term paper due tomorrow night and plan on treating myself to a mug brownie to celebrate (even though I've been pretty bad lately :c but oh, well--this paper was a b-). Might try some new ones if other people post. :o This one's really flexible (AND egg-free!). c: I like to use…

Sweet! Add me as an accountability buddy? C: Also, I'm allowing some leniency on this, as I live in an environment in which no one seems to like sugar-free alternatives (peanut butter, etc.). Less than 15 grams a day is what I'm going to shoot for!

I'm in!

I completely understand what you're feeling. My advice: let yourself grieve and sort through this, and when you feel that it's a respectable time (one that doesn't feel like you're replacing your old friend), adopt a new pet. You'd be surprised by what you might discover. Just over a year ago, I lost my cat Xena to old…

Add me! Always looking for more eyes to judge my embarrassing decisions and compel me to change them.

I pigged out on Donettes today--y'know, those little horrible-for-you doughnuts that taste amazing if you can get past the filmy feeling they leave in your mouth. Had half a six-pack of knock-offs this morning, split it with a classmate, and I just finished eating five real Donettes with an evening coffee in front of Game…

^ What she said. As a more-than-full-time student, I'm on the same boat. Life has consisted of nothing but school, work, and more school since the start of this spring semester. My chub can wait till after I've secured a grade and gotten my money's worth out of the semester. Until then, I give my body (some of) what it…

I suggest getting either the Zip or One. I like the concept and design of the Flex, but my boyfriend's mother says the accuracy of hers is slightly thrown off for similar reasons as stated above (lack of or excess arm movements). On the other hand, I have a Zip and LOVE it. I've tested it several times by starting at zero…

No problem! God...I'm the same way. My goal is to avoid excess sweets. C: Maybe I should change it to avoiding late-night snacking...since that's where the sugar tends to come from. xD
-
Yes, actually! I've both lost and maintained despite having all of these (though my food addiction is a sugar addiction). When I'm anxious, I either exercise to blow off steam or, if I don't have that kind of time, brew some tea or coffee (both plain/black), as I find that the warmth and sting of a hot beverage tends to…

Your story brings tears and speaks to me on a personal level. I'm eighteen, and while I don't yet have children of my own, I can promise you that my story is LONG and very similar to yours. The differences make it something I'm not exactly willing to divulge to the public--I'd be happy to tell you over PM if you want to…

Oops. Double post. Ignore.
-
I have this problem BIGTIME...especially with sugary snacks. Keep in mind how you might feel afterward! I, for one, feel guilty after those kinds of splurges. Another suggestion is to brew some tea or a small cup of coffee but adding as little milk/cream/sugar/etc. as possible to keep the calorie count down. A hot beverage…

Psychology!

Ice cream (I could have TWICE as much frozen yogurt for those calories, and it tastes the same to me), SODA, French fries, regular yogurt, almost anything from a grocery bakery, wings... I'll probably be back later with more. :P EDIT: Oh, yeah! Nuts and commercially baked goods. Pop Tarts and strudels? Nah. I'll make my…

Yup ._. it sounds extremely exciting tbh

I have good news and bad news. Good news: I worked my first shift (I'm a hostess) without eating any of the restaurant food. Anything that doesn't sell goes to the back for employees to eat, and usually I'm unable to control myself. Bad news: I got Cafe Rio today with the intention of eating half my quesadilla for lunch…

Oh, hey! I can't believe I found this thread right away. I'm a freshman-going-on-sophomore and just joined MFP today in hopes of catching and reversing the effects of (the beauty that is) the cafe before things get too out of hand. I'm not overweight, but I've gained a couple/few pounds since the start of my first semester…
