I got my first tattoo at 12 lbs down, and decided I'm getting one at each ten lb mark. so I currently have 8.7 lbs to lose to get my next tattoo.

I have tried a few times to lose the 50 post pregnancy lbs but failed. I lacked accuracy in food logging and consistency in watching cals and working out, so I'd only loose 10-25 lbs of it, and gain it back. I joined MFP to make a real go of logging my food, learning portion control, and being mindful of cals in/cals out.…

My goal weight (135 lbs) is a bit of all of the above. That was my weight prior to having children, the weight and clothing size I felt best in, and my weight leaving high school. It's on the high side of "normal weight" per BMI (I'm 5'2). I take the BMI numbers with a grain of salt. When I was last 135, I was…

I LUV your story--and hilariously written btw. Sign me up to follow your story as well. & I have a little revenge of my own to exact. #THEYAINTREADY

THIS-LOL. If I am out of everything I will still have cheese due to the amount & variety I buy. Everyone in the house pretty much puts it on everything except cereal and ice cream. As for staples for me: eggs and egg whites, fresh spinach, jasmine and basmati rice, frozen veggies, chicken breasts and tenderloins, fish…

I am a member of one gym that has a separate but much smaller and less equipped room for women only, and I go in there vs the main gym to help alleviate some of my "gymtimidation" as there are maybe only 3-5 others in that room at a given time vs the main areas. I also did NOT join a gym with my friend, even though it has…

I joined MFP on 2/26 with 50 lbs to lose but I have lost 10 so far. I'd love to share support, encouragement, recipes, ideas or whatever!

This is a struggle for me too, but I actually just completed my cycle without cheating. I think it was because I was determined to stick within my cals as I had already recently cheated with Easter (and went beyond the holiday still cheating), and I really wanted to get back on track. I had a few things but kept them…

I'm just seeing this, but I'd love to jump in! Starting weight 2/26/18: 184.2 lbs Current weight: 4/15/18: 175.4 lbs Final Goal Weight: 135 lbs (although I'm somewhat flexible on this-as I plan to lift and not stuck on numbers but know what I want to get back to in terms of size and feel in my own body

I'm in the same boat! Only my mother is still built like a brick **** house! I was too, before kids (I have 3 but they are grown now). Just want to get back to ME-without the "spare tire." I call it extra meat LOL. When it stopped me from wearing certain things and then doing certain things, and spilling into my life and…

May I ask what you are using to calculate your fat percentage? Maybe it isn't accurate.

Best: my legs-(even though I'm a shortie LOL)-they are shapely and strong, and respond quickly to lifting. Worst: Tummy/midesction- lb for lb I carry a disproportionate amount of my excess weight in my belly area. I do have a nice butt, but for all the ladies who wish their hips and butt didn't carry most of their weight I…

This sounds like so much fun! But so just to clarify, it does not track the distance walked, and you have to manually enter, or is tracking an option in the app?

Having my best friend from high school come to see me/and then again me going to see her & others I hadn't seen in almost 20 years-and how they for the most part were the same size or slightly heavier, while I was half and again my former size. That and pictures & videos of me, especially when taken with me not aware. I…

I frequently order a buffalo chicken salad from a place near my job but have been planning to try my hand at making it myself. Its a romaine/baby spinach mix topped with a grilled chicken breast tossed in a bit of buffalo sauce, a few crumbles of bleu cheese, bit of chopped tomato and chopped red onion. I'm IN LUV with…

Carbs-pasta, rice & occasional desserts are my Kryptonite, and they definitely seem to stall my weight loss. If I indulge in more than one serving I'm sure to be 2-3 lbs up in water weight the next day. Which has derailed me/set me back before, because then I indulge again with emotional eating. Working on breaking the…

FR sent. :smiley:

Count me in! Will be back on the 1st to post my info.

Joined Feb 26th of this year. Would love to share support!

Deprivation. I have to basically completely eliminate pasta and rice. It is extremely hard for me to keep it within my calories, have an appropriately sized portion, not go totally berzerk. Having recently found out that I'm borderline diabetic I don't feel too bad cutting them out except for special occasions and…

Hi Enza, I'm Jai, I'm 41-but 34 in spirit (or younger LOL) and I have 3 grown children, and also just now getting back to focusing on goals that are for just for me. I'll send you a FR.

Weight loss may be an individual journey but having support from friends or other people with similar goals definitely helps and also makes it more fun! I'd love to share support and encouragement with you!

I just joined MFP on 2/26 as a commitment to myself to finally lose this weight and get fit for good, and after the first 2 weeks I really struggled with cravings at the end of my day-which is night to morning since I work overnights. I also try to just go to bed, sometimes it works sometimes not. I've also tried to…

FR sent :)

I will be, as soon as the Versa drops!

Thank you all so much for the feedback. I think all things considered I'll be getting the Fitbit Versa when it comes out next month. I'm excited!

Daily showers are an absolute necessity! Minimum once daily, more if I work out, or change clothes from work to going out. I do not shampoo my hair daily though-it would get too dry. I co-wash twice per week and shampoo once per week, more for very sweaty workouts or hot summer weeks.

I'd love to join!

Hi ladies! I'm a health flight dispatcher-so 10 hour shifts on my ***-5'2, currently 179 lbs with a flexible goal weight of 135 lbs-although as I get down and start lifting it's going to be more about how I feel and look vs what the scale says. I really want to reach my goals this year! Feel free to add me!

Heeeeeyyyy!!!
