Wow, good eye, if you're talking about the profile picture...! No, not from Brighton, but went there on holiday a few years back and it was absolutely perfect. Quite a happy time and I adored the rocky beach

I'm working on it! For lunches, anyway. The hard thing for me is finding things I can eat repeatedly and enjoy. I could eat lasagna every day if weight wasn't an issue :D

NSV 1: I'm coming out of a several week slump, but I have logged in every day and kept the emotional eating under better control than in the past!! Best of all, I haven't derailed my progress (measured by the scale or otherwise). Which leads to... NSV 2: A shirt that that has always pulled across the hips fell in a…

Hey, feel free to add me! I'm 29, 10 lbs in with about 60 to go. Glad things are going well so far. Best of luck :-)

I've seen this on food blogs before but never actually tried it... I may have to now! That looks awesome

Finally got to the end of this thread. Thank you all for sharing - what an inspiration you are! 2 NSV's for me. I wore a shirt today that I bought just a touch too small weeks ago, and got compliments on how great it looks! It's fitting perfectly or even a little big today. Then I wanted to stop by Five Guys for a burger…

Welcome and best of luck :-)

Yay, adding all of you!

Bumping instead of starting a new thread... Also 5'4, now 193, would love more friends with similar stats for motivation!

Loved reading your intro! Awesome indeed! I know you will have great success with your attitude :smile:

Adding you! Also on and off for about 5 years!

Hi @goalof230! Welcome, glad you've found MFP! Feel free to add me :-)

Second test of the semester tomorrow for me... finally hit the point where I can't study any more. Que sera, sera. Sorry to hear about your midterm. That's so frustrating. Any chance of a curve? I remember a friend of mine in college being upset at failing a midterm until he realized the class average was a 33%. The prof…

I happened across this looking for something totally different. It was amazing to read. Thank you for your service, and I wish you all the best with your weight loss journey. God bless :-)

also a med student!

Congratulations!! I'm halfway through M1 so I can't necessarily speak for the long term, but make sure you carve out at least half an hour a day for exercise, and make time to cook decent food. It won't seem like you have time at first, but just do it. It will help keep you sane... And you'll learn better and faster too. I…

That's awesome! Feel free to add me - I'm going for Air Force but otherwise very similar to the OP. I wish you great success!

glad there are still a few out there! :-)

I had a cat who had this problem as she got older, and agree with the above posters - first and foremost, go to the vet to make sure she doesn't have a UTI. Cats look for "comforting" places when they are in pain, even peeing, and will avoid places (litterbox) they associate with that pain. Like it or not, your bed…

How inspiring! Congratulations and all best wishes to you

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like I'll just have to practice and get more efficient with the "recipes" function. Oh well, no one ever said losing weight was quick and easy :-) Happy losing to everyone, and enjoy your autumn!

Wow. Way to go!

I hadn't even thought about it - good question! I think I won't log anything, but set some advance ground rules - only 1 serving of my Nana's amazing mac and cheese, for example. Oooh that's going to be a hard day...

Jen - Click "Food" then "Settings" (The one in the blue bar just under the top tabs, not the one at the very top of the screen). It lets you change your meal names and what you're tracking. Yea, I'm tracking sugar because diabetes runs in my family (I don't have it yet, but don't want to get it! Talk about a hard disease…

Don't get angry! Or, better yet, get really angry and use that energy to start up again. Everybody screws up. Look back and see what your triggers were for putting on this weight... then work to avoid them this time. Feel free to add me. You can do this! Whatever you do, don't give up.

This sounds so yummy! I love soups and will definitely be making this soon. Thanks!

Healthy food with lots of exercise to balance it :-) Welcome, and good luck!

Congratulations! That's incredible. Way to go, girl :-)

Welcome! This is definitely the place to help you succeed in your goals... adding you now!

What a great attitude towards weight loss! Just added you
