i weigh myself every day simply because i need a routine where i weighed myself once in a while to keep it logged and tracked but when i tried to do it once a week i would forget to do it or did it at different times of day so i had major fluctuations in my tracking. so then i decided i should do it every morning before i…

i of course have no knowledge of this but i figure my suggestions might help. what if you didnt run? what if you walked mostly. maybe small intervals or running in between because i feel like your muscles need to build up some more. i would also suggest maybe rebounding (mini trampoline) because supposedly its easier on…

hey i started at 327 & im down to 198 soooo you can do it! its not fun. it can be a pain.. but it can also be awesome. welcome to your journey! i have logged for 500 days. i have done things i never even dreamed possible. im willing to share a little willpower but you have to get some from inside of you too. feel free to…

starting weight 327lbs target weight is 163.5 lbs (i make mini goals at a time then re-evaluate. 300, 250, 200, half my starting weight) & then 150 for now) currently weigh 198.1lbs calories consumed: about 1200 on no excercise days & 1500 on excercise days started my journey on december 12, 2011 (500 days ago today)

first off. i totally understand what you are going through!! i have felt like this many of times.. i think i am getting better with it now. i did notice that the whole clothing transition can REALLY bring you down. i dont stick to one size.. i try a few sizes because even if its the same brand sometimes the clothes are…

well sorry you had a bad day.. tomorrow is a new day. start fresh. i agree that you really shouldnt fast.. please eat tomorrow.. eat what you are supposed to. dont let the binge get you down.. but try to fight the idea next time. good luck but hang on you will get there.

i tend to change my music choices every once in a while so i wont get in a slump.. but my latest have been cash cash, goldhouse, krewella, and radical something. check them all out on youtube. =)

anyone is always welcome to friend me.. i have at least 30something MORE to lose for my goal to lose HALF of the body weight i started with.. but i plan on always continuing to be here and i can surely lose a few more after my goal haha. =)

oh my goodness! that is so awesome! congrats. you are a rockstar!

you look exceptional!! i also agree that you totally do not look like you weigh 240.. i WISH i could look that good. anyways congrats and way to go.

AMAZING transformation! congrats on all that progress. you look awesome.

if its in your daily calories whats the big deal? you shouldnt deprive yourself of anything. sometimes your body needs a treat...and you work hard for it. enjoy it! now yes, i do feel guilty if its OVER my calorie limits.. but that can be fixed with a little extra exercise.

well welcome to myfitnesspal. i sent a friend request. best of luck on your journey! :)

i had TWO horrible binge days.. two double my calories days... and i did gain from it... but i also lost it back within a week. drink some water. let the guilt go. move on. and start again tomorrow. just do not give up now.

this was my feelings today as well. even after being at this for over a year.. even after losing 125ish pounds.. my excuse was that i have a cold so im excessively hungry.. but seriously.. i was totally binging. and i still wanted more even after feeling guilty. best of luck fighting your demons..

yes it is NOT timed. you will have to do timing on your own. its more of a "fun" run so that people can have the experience of a 5k at their own paces and try it out when they normally wouldnt have. you are welcome to run it and time yourself or walk it. whatever you prefer. its great fun. enjoy.

i have done it twice. its alot of fun. i walked it too. my advice would be spray your entire body NAKED with sunscreen before the run because it makes it easier to get all the color off. even under 4 layers i have gotten so much color on my skin haha. close your mouth in the color zones & possibly try to hold your breath…

welcome to myfitnesspal. :) feel free to add me as a friend. good luck on continuing your journey. glad you found us here. they really do have tons of foods in the database. my favorite thing is how you can use your own recipe and type in all the ingredients and it will tell u all the calories and u can save it for a later…

i weigh myself every day. i do this because i wanted to keep a record of my weight but i would tend to forget if it wasnt a complete routine that i do every single day. i know that weight fluctuates day to day and more but i seem to be okay with monitoring it like this. i do get upset if i see it go continuously up a…

i've strictly stuck to the calories. i do try to eat healthier then what i used to. i also eat back my excercise calories. i know alot of people dont agree with that but that is what works for my body. test out different options to find what works for you. best of luck on your own journey.

i'm glad that you at least see it in your pictures. i remember not wanting to take pictures in the beginning and i really dont have any from right before i started. i had one picture but i deleted it after losing 30-40 lbs because i still didnt see any changes but everyone else did. now i wish i had a million of old…

i'm female. about 5'5. pants size is 18 (us) & weigh 211.(as of today but was averaging at 214) & my tshirt size is XL

i actually weigh myself every morning. its not because im super obsessed over it.. but more that i wanted to do it once a week but i ALWAYS forgot to do it. so i do it every morning at the same time just so i can know and not forget to do it. i sometimes try to say oh im not gonna weigh myself for a little while but i feel…

i like them. i do feel like they aren't for everyone.. but to each their own like others have stated. its THEIR body. if you dont like it. close your eyes? your opinion doesnt matter to them. i dont like how people are judged for piercings or tattoos. when you judge them its just your ignorance. you dont know their story…
