Whoops-- I wasn't done. :p You've done an amazing job so far. Keep up the great work! You're definitely an inspiration (especially to those of us who are about the same age as you). :flowerforyou:

Congrats!! :) :)

I love fun colored socks! I do not like toe socks, though. They annoy me. :tongue:

Like another user posted, I really like wraps. One of my favorites is also a whole wheat wrap (La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious High Fiber Large Wrap) with hummus, cucumbers, lettuce and other veggies. Very filling and low calorie. My other favorite sandwich is a turkey burger on a Thomas's bagel thin with hummus,…

I graduated college in August, so ideally, I would like to have a job by Christmas. :tongue: Goals in terms of weight loss? I'd like to lose 13 pounds by then (13 weeks). That would put me at the weight that I was my second year of college!

I have about 70 more to lose... Fun stuff.... :p

Adding you! I'll be 25 in November and am trying to get myself healthier.

"We can all give advise and statements about what we have read or heard but I think getting your own personal advice from a doctor is a way to go....you are probably wondering why I am saying this, well honestly because I CARE!!" Your last post is very thoughtful. I think a lot of us don't consult with a doctor or…

@Torra - Thanks!! I'm so glad that I was able to still manage to lose a couple pounds even when the final phase of senior design got in the way. Your 15 pound loss in one month is incredible! You really are owning it! :)

I'm checking in after not checking in for 2 weeks. My weight has been fluctuating a lot. I went as high as 206 and went down to 192. Yesterday, I was 193. This morning, I was 195. Sooo... I didn't quite meet my goal of being 193 on July 31st. However, I was 193 on July 30th. At least, I still have a net loss for the month.…

Just checking in, and way to go to all of those who are meeting their goals so far :) SW: 228 7-2-2013: 198 7-10-2013: 195 GW: (by 7-31-2013): 193 UWG: 120-130 I'm meeting my goal of eating more produce! Woohoo! Lately, I've been obsessed with cucumbers. They're so crispy and light and delicious and... mmm... I want a…

I'm joining this challenge! I did last month's challenge and lost the 5lbs I was hoping to lose. :) Other goals: Eat a serving of FRESH produce each day. It's summertime, and there's no need for frozen or canned produce when summer produce is the best! Plus, I need to get more vegetables and fruits in my diet. Also, I've…

"One thing is certain: I'm ready to put up the fight of my life and come out on the other side as a stronger person." This is the best mindset to have going into the unknown. Just stay positive, and stay strong!!

I can't imagine how I'd respond if I were in your situation. It just hurts to read what your husband said to your daughter. Good luck with your weight loss journey-- you can definitely achieve whatever goals you put your mind to!

Checking in for the last Friday of the month! I met my goal weight of 199! :) I got sick a little while back, so I was at 197, but I knew I'd probably gain back some of the weight I had lost. I'm just glad that I got my goal weight! Yay! SW: 228 6-1-2013: 204 6-7-2013: 201 6-12-2013: 197 ----was sick for several days prior…

Checking early since I probably won't have access to a scale on Friday. SW: 228 6-1-2013: 204 6-7-2013: 201 6-12-2013: 197 GW for June: 199 UGW: 120-130 I've gone below my goal weight for June! But I'm not going to get too excited because I was sick over the weekend. I imagine that some of those 4 pounds I lost since last…

Just checking in. My weigh in for today (6-7-2013) is 201 lbs. Woohoo! I'm hoping that next Friday, I'll finally be under 200 for good! Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi! I'm in. My starting weight when I embarked on this weight loss journey was 228. I'm aiming for 120-125 (maybe 130) I don't have a set number yet for weight since I'm not sure what 125 will look or feel like for me now. When I lost weight a long time ago back in high school, I think I got down to about 125. However, I…

Happy Friday!! I can't believe it's already the last Friday of April... Where'd the time go??? SW (4/6/2013): 212 4/12: 207 4/19: 203 4/26: 201 GW for April: 200 UGW: 120-130 I had a hiccup in the road earlier this week that caused my weight to creep up a bit before coming back down. This morning I stepped on the scale,…

Welp... It's April 22nd, and the score is now: Me- 20 Binge- 2 I dunno what happened. I had no trigger emotions. I was eating enough (and I hadn't been feeling hungry or having cravings). I was drinking enough water. I just got insanely hungry and had uncontrollable cravings over the weekend. I wonder if it's because I…

Good morning (well, it's morning over here on the east coast)! Checking in today-- SW (4/6/2013): 212 4/12: 207 4/19: 203 GW for April: 208 New GW for April: 200 UGW: 120-130 Last week I wasn't sure if I should change my GW for April, but seeing as how I'm down a few more pounds since then, I'm going to change it. I would…

@Funforsports- Woohoo! Another chemE!

Graduating in the summer with a degree in chemical and biomolecular engineering! :smile:

It's April 18th, and so far: Me- 18 Binge- 0 I'm so happy! Just a few weeks ago, I found myself binging quite a bit. I started logging everything I ate and events that happened just prior to binge eating, and I finally pinpointed what makes me binge eat. I was even able to eat healthy when my friend came to visit last…

Just checking in-- I hope all of you are doing well!! :) SW (4/6/2013): 212 CW: 207 (down 5) GW for April: 208 UGW: 120-130 I am down 5 lbs from when I started the challenge last week. However, I am aware that a majority of this may be water. While I have technically met my GW for April, I think I will keep it at 208 (at…

Congratulations! You are definitely an inspiration to me. I'm 24, and I feel like I've missed out on nearly half of my twenties (and my whole time in college) due to my weight. It's hard to look around on campus and realize that I'm probably one of the unhealthiest people there. That said, I've made a wholehearted promise…

Teehee. I literally lol'ed when I read that because I definitely know how that feels. Anyway, welcome to MFP, and I wish you success in your weight loss goals! Feel free to add me. :smile:
