I used to work at a Best Buy and we had someone come in and try and return an empty camera box (one of the big nice ones Nikon d5000 I think). She said that she bought the camera but when she got home the box was empty. The employee asked to see her receipt and it was from about 2.5 weeks earlier. The employee was trying…

I'm 5'4" and when I started MFP I was 200 pounds. This was down from about 240 right after I had my daughter (9 months prior to starting). I plan to get around 140-145 pounds and go from there to see how I feel. (145 pounds will get me at a normal BMI) If I lose a pound a week I'll be there at around November of next year.…

I'm currently in Tacoma, WA, USA. It's about 39°F (about 3.8°C I think). It's raining...or it was when I walked the dog this morning. We're going to Torrance, CA, USA for Christmas and it's 59°F there (about 15°C I think).

Thanks everyone. I had a suspicion I was doing something wrong. I'll try again soon.

Awesome job! I was the same way. I only hope someday soon i will have the same nsv.

I think you doing it the "right way" (ie eating healthier) is awesome and if you want a salad for Thanksgiving, why not make some and bring it? My family always does a potluck type thing so I would bring a large bowl of salad to share with everyone and then eat that. For me, I would also have a little bit of turkey/ham…

It depends. If I'm craving food and I'm hungry I'll have a little bit of what I'm craving, or tell myself I'll have it for dessert depending on what it is. If it's sweets and I wait, usually by the time I get to dessert I don't want them anymore. If I'm just bored I pull out my knitting, come on MFP/FB, play with my…

I'm 23 and 193.7 lbs. I have about 50 more lbs to lose and my rate of loss is set to 1 lb a week. I give myself 1,840 calories a day, 300 of which are for breastfeeding (so 1540 base and 300 for milk production). If I don't eat back my exercise calories my milk supply drops and my daughter gets upset (which is…

I make egg sandwiches. I put an egg in a bowl (sprayed with pam or w/e) and microwave for 45 secs (depends on microwave). Put egg on bread, add cheese if I have the calories, and eat in the car. Takes about a minute or two to make it, and I can't taste the difference in eggs (microwaed v stove) unless I were to eat it…

Hey! I know how it is to lose track of what you're eating. My 9m old takes up a lot of time! She always wants me to play with her, so when I get hungry I usually have to wait until she's napping. Then I'm so hungry I could eat the whole fridge! I started a few weeks ago and it seems to be going well. You can add me as a…

My little one is 9.5 months and after I had her I stopped losing at around 200 lbs (from 260ish when I was 9months). I finally said enough is enough at the begining of the month and started to lose this weight! I have about 55 lbs to lose before I'm at the lowest I've been since high school. Then I'll reevaluate and see if…

Last week: 195.8 This week: 193.7 Loss: 2.1 lbs yay :)

You should definitely eat more. I add an extra 300 calories to what MFP gives me to allow for calories burned from nursing. Besides that, if MFP says you should eat 1700 then you're already in a deficit and eating much less than that could keep you from losing, or at least slow your weight loss significanly as well as be…

Welcome! Just remember that it takes time to lose the weight. I know sometimes I want it all gone right now! But, you'll do great! :)

- what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large) medium - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 195.8 lbs and size 14 - what is your goal weight and why? 145 lbs at the moment. It's the lowest weight I've been in a long time so I want to make sure I still look ok at that weight…

probably a tuna sandwich on whole grain bread and half a peach.

On one of your days off you can make some meals for the week and then pull one out before work instead of trying to make food right before. It worked well for me when I was working right next to the candy at my old job. Maybe chew some gum at work so that you already have something to keep your mouth busy. I also agree…

I'm a SAHM too, although with my first child. I got up to 260 lbs when I was pregnant, and after I was flat lining at around200. I found MFP almost 2 weeks ago and have lost 4.2 lbs so far. Hoping I can lose the rest of the baby weight. I can't add people from my phone (it freezes for some reason), but you can add me if…

My original wake up call happened while I was still in highschool. My mom came up to me and said "Sam, I've noticed you've been gaining a lot of weight. You should come to Weight Watchers with me." I cried. Then I lost 40 lbs on WW and then I gained it back and have been battling the weight ever since.

This sounds like fun. Is it too late to join? I just weighed myself and last week I had just started MFP at 200 lbs. Today I'm 195.8!

You NEED to eat if you're breastfeeding. If you don't eat enough or drink enough water then it WILL decrease your supply because your body thinks there's not enough food and conserves energy for the mom (that's what I've been told). You absolutely must eat enough to keep your body running as well as produce milk. My…

I'm new too! I just started less than a week ago. You can add me if you want. I'll try to be encouraging!

Hello! I'm Samantha and I've just started MFP a little less than a week ago. My goal is to have lost 14 lbs by Feb 14. I'm 5'4" and 200 lbs. My journey re-started when I had my daughter in January 2011. When I was pregnant I gained over 50 lbs and flatlined at about 200 lbs after she was born. I've been fluctuating my…
