I'd like to join in, too! I lost 70lbs in 2006 and gained most of it back in 2008. I binge at night BADLY and I have depression and emotionally eat regularly. I'm getting married on May 23rd so this group would be really helpful for me! CW: 180.8 GW: I have no idea...way less than 180.8 I hope!

Way to go!!! :smile: :smile: :smile:

I was overweight for my whole life until I lost 70lbs in 2006, only to gain a lot of it back last year. A lot of diseases run in my family and being overweight only ups my chances of ending up with them. I already have high cholesterol, so being healthy is a big reason for me, though not the only one! I'm getting married…

I just started here four days ago and haven't been able to have a good day since, so I've decided TODAY MUST BE THE DAY THAT I STOP MAKING EXCUSES. I guess this makes my weigh in day Sunday!

:laugh: This was really cute. All of my summer clothes are 4/6/8s, and I'm more like a 14 right now but I don't have anything above a 12 in my apartment. I relate to you with the whole NOT BUYING ANYTHING BIGGER deal! I feel like if I spend money on larger clothes it's like saying it's okay for me to be at this size.

I bought an F6 today and will be trying it out at the gym tomorrow! I'll be sure to post something about how I like it and how it works for me. Super stoked about it, though!

My fiance and I took "before" pictures of eachother this morning. I have a black bikini I wore in Mexico during a cruise in 2007 when I was only about 10lbs away from my goal weight, so I put that on for them. Putting those pictures up in my photos here was probably the scariest thing I've ever done in my life! Has anyone…

UGH I HATE BUYING JEANS! The vanity sizing in some stores paired with other stores having just totally unregulated sizing makes it such a pain. I was in a size 4 at my lowest weight, but now I have no idea if I'm a 14/12/10/what?! because every pair of pants fits differently! It's an even bigger pain being that I'm a giant…

You're not alone, and you CAN get back on track and lose the weight again (plus more)! I lost 10lbs from Jan 1st to Feb 1st, but got totally off track and weighed myself this morning...it's not fun to see 7lbs slapped back on. :( Don't worry, you'll lose it!

I definitely want to join in with this!

I used to buy the cinnamon ones, but they were so good I'd regularly binge on them so we can't have them in the house anymore. :laugh:

Hopefully I posted this in the correct sections... This is my first day using MFP. I tried planning out my meals, but everything I put in ended up putting my carbs/protein/etc too high while the calories were still under (MFP wants me to have 1200). Any tips on how to get this balance? I eat mostly fruits/vegetables/egg…

Good luck Dawnie! You look beautiful in your icon, btw. :)

Thanks you guys! :)

I've been struggling with my weight for a really long time, and I'm getting married in May so I figured now was as good a time as any to really buckle down. I've been using SparkPeople for about four years but I just felt like starting fresh with something new and this website looks pretty good so far! Hopefully this time…
