Have you ever tried just doing one small change for 2 weeks, then another one, and another one... Since 10 days is the longest you've ever been committed, it sounds like you might try to take too much on at once and become overwhelmed. So maybe start with committing to eating more fruits and veggies at first, then scaling…

I'm in. The more accountability the better!

Yay! I'll keep my fingers crossed that the scale cooperates! Mine finally started moving again and I hit 204.6 this morning! Happy dance!
-
Thanks @Eninad! Have you broken 200 yet? I've been rooting for you!

Yesterday was one of those days where I was frustrated with my lack of weight loss and wanting to throw the towel in. Saw a video that reminded me that it would be stupid to give up, and strapped on my shoes and headed to the gym. Today I'm back down to 205 (again) but it's nice to not be at 207. Going to head to the gym…

I just got the fitbit surge a couple weeks ago and noticed the same thing. After a couple days of going up 10-12 flights of stairs when I knew I had done no such thing I realized that it was giving me those flights while I was driving to and from school. Apparently I tap my hand a bit too vigorously listening to music in…

My body seems to love being 207-208! Every time I get closer to 205, that weight just comes right back the next week. I know I wasn't 100% good this week, but even when I didn't eat my normal food I should have been at a deficit.... Going to hit the gym hard today to sweat off this pound (again) SW: 225 CSW: 206 CW: 207.2…

@Eninad UGH! How frustrating! I've been thinking about you and hoping the scale cooperates so I know you must be going crazy. But I also know that you WILL get there! Great job to everyone else on their losses!!! A couple 3+ pounds is awesome! ~Erin~

So I gained 2 pounds since yesterday. My fiancee is in culinary school and needs to practice for a practical this week. He made minstrone soup which I figured wouldn't be too high in calories, but I'm thinking the salt content has me retaining water and is the cause of the gain. Guess I won't be having leftovers for lunch…

Good morning everyone! It looks like a gorgeous day out although I slept in and haven't stepped outside yet! I am about to get dressed and head to the gym. I have a dietbet that I'm weighing in for in 4 days so I need to make sure to stay on point :) Luckily I've met goal weight for it already, but I'd hate to have a weird…

SW: 225 (4/10/15) CW: 206 CGW: 175 (more than 20, but 1.5 pounds per week sounds doable and will keep me honest!) UGW: 150 then reevaluate. ~Erin~

I'm back in this after doing the July 4th challenge :) Thanks for stepping up and keeping it going! About me: My name is Erin and I'm about to start nursing school in the Fall. I'm engaged to this amazingly supportive man who is taking care of me financially, mentally, and emotionally so I can pursue that with no…

Love this!! You have the exact right attitude!

A long time ago I saw a meme that said "No matter how slow you're going, you're still lapping everyone on the couch." I know it wasn't running, but 10 minutes is better than everyone else who's sitting on the couch watching netflix :)
-
That is fantastic!!! Seriously to be medication free (almost) is freaking awesome! Just curious.. has your asthma improved any? I'm wondering how much my asthma is related to weight gain/loss... Also sending you a friend request!

I only popped on here to make sure someone had quoted Lion King :) Good job guys!
-
I'm one of those people who don't like my food touching. So pretty much all of this sounds gross to me. ;)
-
I just want to second what someone said above.. You ladies are adorable! I'm kind of jealous actually.. I'm getting married next year and my mom isn't involved in my life. Luckily my dad got remarried and she's pretty awesome and my fiancees mom is great too. But it's not the same as having someone that raised you... Your…
-
Did either of you get out and say "Now that I don't have to run every day I'm not going to!" I totally did that even though I used to love running. What can I say? I'm stubborn!!! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I've done MFP before and lost about 40 pounds. Then I was doing the long distance relationship and traveling…

I do overnight oats when I'm on the go. I make up a bunch on the weekend then freeze them. Put them in the fridge the night before, and then can grab it and a spoon and I'm set. This is the site I got my basic recipes from but now I am constantly trying new flavors :) Plus since I can change up the flavors, I don't get…
-
I've been scrolling through the friend request requests (I swear that's grammatically accurate!) and thinking.. Everyone is just begging for help, without really offering to help back. Silly! Sending a request your way. Would love to be on this journey of learning together :) Erin

Before MFP, I ate crap food. But I didn't eat a lot of it. I've never been able to eat a lot in one sitting but I got fat because what I did eat was crap (burgers, pastas, pizza, desserts loaded with sugar, etc). Since I switched to 75% clean eating or so, I'm still eating the same AMOUNT of food, just less calories. And…
-
Heya! Is it too late to join you? Just got back on MFP this past weekend and I would love a challenge to be accountable to :) Erin

Hey everyone! I'll be getting married in 2016 too! :) We haven't set a date yet because I want to meet with the venue to figure out a total cost, then try to save as much money as I can before the wedding... It'll be either Spring 2016 if the cost is low enough or Fall 2016 if it's higher than I like. I guess cutting back…

Put on your shoes! Sometimes it's the little things that will get you going. I found if I just tell myself "I'll get dressed" by the time I put on my shoes, I have the motivation to just start walking/working out. Also, do you listen to music? When I take my pups out for a walk I'm likely to take them further if I have…
