Hi there. It's a little difficult to tell what might be going on without having a little bit more information. Would you feel comfortable opening your diary to the public? By being able to see what you eat on a daily basis, we'd have a better idea of what might be keeping your progress back. Exercise is excellent, but it's…

It's 8* in southwestern Connecticut today. Gee whiz...

Hi there :smile: I was off and on Ortho Tricyclen-Lo from the ages of 15 to 27 (I just turned 28 this year). Moments in between, I had the Mirena IUD for about 2.5 years, and for the past year have been on an OT-Lo generic called "Trinessa". Neither of these three birth control options caused me to balloon up or made it…

Hi there, Matt :) Friends are a great thing to have when working on something that is not our favorite thing in the world :P I'm on my Round 2 with MFP -- from Nov 2011 to June 2012, I dropped 36 pounds. Then I picked them back up again over the past two years. Sugar and depression are alluring Mistresses :/ Good luck to…

Thank you for posting that one up too! I've just been cruising around on it, and it has great information and awesome presentation! :D

Phenomenal transformation! :) Proof that, once again, the best time to make a change is NOW, no matter where or what you are doing with your Life in that moment <3 Congratulations on your hard earned success :)

Hi, there! Economic Left/Right: -6.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.36 I live in the Midwest in the U.S., but I was born and raised in New England :)

Hey there, Mark :) Congratulations on all your success! I also just watched your video for the Kona contest; great job with everything!

Hi there, Chris! Congratulations on finding a way to try and help yourself do better :) Motivation is certainly key, but information is what fuels your motivation. Please feel free to ask questions and work -slowly- ...nutrition is essential to good health, and there's a lot of it to take in. You're welcome to add me on as…

I honestly feel that of all the things that I've learned over the past seven months, the one nugget of wisdom that tops them all is "slow down while eating". If I had realized that by merely taking my time while eating (instead of wolfing down meals so that I could cram in more if I liked it, or get out of sticky sticky…

This ad is pretty unbelievable. The idea that any sugar-ridden junk food breakfast item could ever possibly improve the health of one's child is truly preposterous. I'm sure it would have done extremely well at Wal-mart =/ It's incredible, the negatively bold chances the advertising industry is taking, since it knows that…

Until my lactose sensitivity got out of control, I used to eat the plain non-fat kind with two packets of Stevia in the Raw and cinnamon, nutmeg, or any other kind of sweet spice powder. The flavored kinds have so much sugar in them, I feel it defeats the purpose of eating them. Yogurt is meant to be healthy for you! :) If…

JEEZ, McKay! :D These look fantastic! If I had an artist's hand, I'd attempt to make these, but regardless they look amazing! <3

=P This would be a dream come true for me, but I don't think banning anything from people ever works. I thought it was interesting how eloquent the response was from the McDonald's representative. I've always been at odds mentally with Mayor Bloomberg (being born and raised in CT, I've heard a lot about him over the past…

No shying away! :) You'll be surprised how supportive this community can be when curious people speak with intelligence. Most of the anger/annoyance is brought upon by people who want everything to be easy and handed to them, just like how they want their weight loss to be :P You are not like that, and since you are making…

Welcome to MFP, friend! What a great introduction :D I say you also post this in the "Motivation & Support" thread; a lot of newbies roam this one, but more experienced people are in the M&S area <3

:D I am really excited about my two goals, mainly because they are simple and do-able. They'll just take time, and when it comes to me and my health, I'm willing to make all the time in the world! # 1 - Lose 2 1/2 pounds, and thus make it to 129 pounds # 2 - Be able to jog a full mile without stopping. At my gym, 9 laps…

When I was 20 years old, I was at 172 pounds =/ At that point, I found a trainer and worked out for 6 months. I lost 33 pounds, but I was too young to understand how to maintain my loss, and although I've eaten healthy my whole Life, I had not mastered portion control, so I gained 15 pounds back soon enough :P At least…

You may want to up your calories, m'dear. 1,200 kcal is required by your body per day for basic daily functioning. Going under makes you retain fat because your body thinks that you are starving. Why would it want to give up fat, when it can give up muscle? Fat keeps you warm :) I started at 1,220 kcal and over the past…

Yeah, the ingredients in MiO are really gross =/ I have bought one myself for the few nights when I feel like I need more water and the thought of drinking it is not appetizing. I grabbed the Mango/Peach one, and I get by with just one squirt, but I don't feel good emotionally about drinking them. People gotta start…

Hi there :D Hopefully you won't take this the wrong way, but it is really inappropriate of you to measure the capabilities of people you know with your own. You haven't practiced yet enough, you know? 15-20 minutes is EXCELLENT for someone who is not used to working out. Fitness and healthy eating are lifestyle changes, so…

Congratulations on all your incredible progress :D You deserve to wear some smaller workout clothes now!

My boobs are indeed making their way out ;_; I never used to admit it to anyone, but I was a DD at 160 pounds. Since I was in denial for such a long time, I have a bunch of bras that are C-cups...and now I'm having a hard time filling them. It's kind of unnerving, especially since they've been large for over half of my…

Your progress is colossal! How phenomenal! :D Thank you for sharing!

Congrats!!! These are all excellent signs that your body is adjusting well to the wonderful changes that you are making for it! :D Keep it up, girl! <3 ~ Jen

Working at Starbucks must be the pits :P I could probably do without everything except the cake pops. And even then, I might indulge a couple of times a week on them. I say you buy yourself one of each of these things, and eat them all over the course of the week. Write down notes about the ones that you like best, and the…

a 3-gallon tub of super premium ice cream! XD WOW. That is incredible!

During my shrinking process, I've been buying all of my clothes at the Goodwill, during their sale days :) $3 jeans and $2 shirts all the way! That way, I haven't felt guilty getting rid of them while I've been shedding all these sizes. I am less than 20 pounds away from my goal weight, so for me the biggest gift I can…

WOOO! :D What a badass NSV! I can't wait for the day 'til I get there!
