Complained about my messiness

My opinion only! Some carbs are good for you and are an excellent source of energy. Complex carbs are amazing! They are in whole grains, beans and veggies. They are filling too. Anytime I tried to do a low carb diet I was exhausted and cranky. Then when I introduced carbs back in my diet I gained it all back twice as fast…

Right there with ya! Let me know if you find the secret ;)

Close enough! I used to weigh 260!

Thanks everyone! I should put my scale up. Numbers drive me crazy!

Web md has a great article on this. Food addiction signs and treatments. What you are feeling is very real. You can do it though!

Awesome!

My daughter had a fever last night and I was up all night! I did not want to go to the gym. I went!

Big difference! Way to go!

Awesome! Great loss!!! So inspirational!

When I hit a plateau at around 20lbs I changed up my workouts. I added strength and switched from elliptical to stair stepper. I've heard that if you eat maintenance calories for a few days then go back it trucks your body into losing again. I guess cause your body gets used to eating your current calories? I don't know if…

Marley for cardio! Helps me set a nice pace. Punk for lifting. Mostly misfits. Lol what a mix

I'm in! I had a goal got 15 by march 2 anyway so this is perfect! SW 232 Goal 170

My first time with mfp I hit a flabby stage after about 20lbs. My skin tightened up after a while. It just takes time. You already lift so you are on the right track. Vitamin e creams and foods are beneficial to skin. Water helps too! Good luck and great job! You are doing great!

I still struggle with this! One thing I have been able to do is to stop putting myself down, especially to others! I no longer say things like "I'm so fat" and "I hate my body". Now when my girlfriends and I are talking about our goals I talk about something I'm proud of, like "I made it to the gym 4 times this week!"

Love this! Thanks for posting!

Shinycrazy that's great! Maybe you'll get some good support and team work out of it!

Yes!!! I used to be really bad about emotional eating. I still get the urge when I'm stressed. I want chocolate or pastries. But I've started asking myself, why do I want this snack? And usually it helps me think more rationally and I am less likely to binge. I still slip sometimes but changing my habits is going to be a…

Awesome!

Today I wanted to get my favorite burger from Whataburger, double meat double cheese. I thought of bunch of excuses of why I should just hit the drive thru rather than make something at home. It's late... I won't get the fries... Everyone else has already eaten... But I didn't stop. I drove myself home and made a dinner…

I went to the gym 4 days this week! Cardio and strength! I didn't feel like it but I did it anyway. My willpower isn't always very good so this was an achievement!

That's my motivator! I try to remind myself how badly i want to reach my goals and that a treat is only a moment of satisfaction! I wake up in the early morning hours and sometimes, half asleep, I walk into the kitchen and grab a small sweet snack! I didn't realize so many people struggle with late night hunger. I'm…

Wow! That's awesome!

I have quite a bit up top. I have to wear an underwire bra plus 2 sports bras on top of that. The struggle is real... and so is the discomfort.

Yes! My husband uses it in his post workout protein shake. He is naturally thin and uses it to help himself gain weight. He's gone from 130 to 150 with heavy lift and high calorie protein shakes. He has trouble gaining weight (poor guy

My first time with mfp i hit a plateau for about 5 weeks after only 25lbs. I changed my workout routine and the weight started coming off again. I switched from elliptical to stair stepper for cardio and started strength training. If you feel burned out it may be a good time to take a break. If you are worried about…

Hi! I'm 27 and 5'4". First goal is -15 by March 12 for my daughters birthday party, -30 by July 6th for my anniversary and -60 by next Christmas.
