  • Thank you all for your replies. Its much appreciated. Definitely - losing the weight is waaaayyy better than the loose skin consequence. It's just there are moments of self doubt when you think of yourself as a single girl who is yet to get married. Unfortunately, sometimes we get distracted by our own vanity and that's…
  • I sure feel like today my stomach shrank lol. I'm sure that's not really the case but I got takeout from a Mediterranean place that I really, really wanted to eat and I could only eat a quarter of it. My stomach is so full right now, I can't even breathe. But yeah, before I started to eat, I was feeling ravenous and three…
  • Thank you guys!!!
  • Hi, I have a collective 100lbs to lose too. I think the hardest part is to get started. Don't think of it as a long journey because that creates a mental roadblock. I started with 100 lbs to lose but have lost 20lbs already just by using MFP. Over time, once you have started, it will become easier
  • I've lost 20.4 pounds in the past 68 days without any added exercise. The only time I get to move around is when walking to and back to my bus stop which is like a 12 minute walk each way. I am in an academically rigorous program and have a major national exam coming up which leaves me with little time for my own self. I…
  • I made hard shell tacos today...sooooo good!!!
  • Grad student here! Not working at the moment though but actively looking for jobs (which can be really frustrating)
  • Omg...it sounds like you're describing my situation. I've not lost a lot of weight yet so not sure how that's going to turn out but hoping against hope that it disappears.
  • I googled some motivational quotes and calendar templates of each month for the year and taped them to my closet door. So as soon as I wake up each day, my eye goes towards the quotes an dit makes my whole day better. Plus, at the end of each day whether I stuck to my goals or not, I cross off that day on the calendar. It…
  • Thank you guys! Really appreciate your help :)
  • I found my experience very funny...a few days ago I was cleaning my room (it was REALLY messy) and I had a bunch of washed clothes that I needed to hand in my closet. After I was done cleaning my room, I get a notification from my Fitbit which says 'Congratulations, your Fitbit automatically recorded 25 minutes if…
  • I may sound like an outlier, haha but I only weigh myself once every 30 days. I find it to be too much pressure to do it every week or even daily.
  • I remember my excitement when I crossed the 30 day mark! It's my 39th day today. I think I felt like I had accomplished something huge because in the past I'd never stuck to lifestyle change for more than 2 weeks.
  • Hahahaha I've spent my last month lurking around the forums. Didn't mean for my title to sound controversial lol. I was just really excited today haha :D To he fair, I've done a bunch of different diets (been morbidly obese for a really long time now). Tried a super low carb diet that my doctor put me on a while ago and…
  • Thank you guys! Appreciate your help :)
  • You can customize your eggs...One recipe I'm really loving nowadays is I take 2 tbsp of El Paso Mild Salsa and put it on a heated pan, then cut up some onions and sprinkle those on the salsa, then I break two eggs on top of the salsa (like sunny side up eggs) and top it with green chillies split lengthwise. Cook it for a…
