My mini goal is to hit 5 lbs down this week. I am hoping that the extra work I did over the weekend will help.

Hello all. I have come back to mfp after being gone for 6 years. Unfortunately I gained back all but 2 pounds of what I lost last time(course it took 6 years so guess that is a plus). Anyway, feel free to add me. I am 43 and looking to have some friends to push me through this journey.

It may be more of a CAN'T HAVE than a moderation thing. I have found there are some things I just can't have. For instance, I found last night I can not allow myself Cheetos puffs. Why? Because I said I was just going to have the 13(one serving). Well 3 servings later I finally stopped myself. I even counted out the…

I have it and love it. Use it for gym and swimming. Definately recommend it.

On an average I have lost about 10lbs per month over the last 2.

Didn't look at your diary...but, I am betting it is water weight. I had a 6lb gain one week and freaked out. It was TOM and 3 days later those 6 and one more was gone. Remember to gain "actual" weight you would need to eat an extra 2500 cals in a week plus your reduction each day back.

Hi. I am 5 2 and currently 208. Add me if you like.

Just don't let the stress of it get to you. I can't tell you how to make it better...but I can tell you not to let it stress you out. I have a teacher that doesn't know what she is doing. Seriously, she has had me so stressed out. I was holding on to that stress. I have decided I can't fix her...and need to work on me.…

Please let us know what you find out. I have an FT4 that I just bought and it does say I can use it in water...but I don't want to if I will have problems. I wanted to use it for my water aerobics.

Hoping it is not too late for me to join in. I have 100lbs to lose overall. Am down 16 so far. March was a great month. Lost about 10lbs in March. Hoping for at least as good if not better April. Goals for April...lose the last 5 needed for my first reward and another 5. Workout an hour at least 6 days each week. DO my…

I lost something similar with a breakup. Was too miserable to eat, think, do pretty much anything. Good luck and much happiness.

I eat fast food every day. But, I eat things like the fresco taco from taco bell that is 150 calories. Or a chichen salad that is around 300 calories. Once in a while I will eat something bad but not often. And yes I have lost all my weight on fast food. Starting in a couple weeks when life lets up around here I will begin…

Me too.

I have been married to my husband for 11 years. We still love each other. I was with my first husband for 7 years...I can honestly say I never loved him.

Hi. I am from AZ also. I have 3 kids 11, 9, 7. I have about 87 more pounds to lose(down 13). Add me!

I have a friend that decided in high school she wanted to be a vegetarian. Well, she was about a size 10 at the time. She is now probably a 26/28. Just because a person is a vegetarian doesn't mean they eat healthy. She eats a lot of junk food. She might eat a salad for her meal but then she has a HUGE piece of cake or a…

Count me in.

If you have been watching your cals and working out and know you should have lost then it is probably water. I gained 6lbs one Monday(that was weigh in day at the time). Well my trainer told me probably gained muscle. I was like ok. Well on Thursday I decided to weigh again(it was really bothering me)...not only was that 6…

I do an hour of cardio 7 days a week. Some days I do a little more depending on energy. I do the eliptical usually but sometimes I throw in the treadmill. Don't really like the bike anymore. I do my resistance 3 times a week(MWF).

Ask yourself the dreaded question that no one HERE wants to ask...and you will have your answer. If you put the weight back on would he be gone? If something happened and you gained it back would he still want to be with you? Maybe but, judging by his past actions...probably not.

Don't usually comment on success stories, but read them all, but I have to say you are my new inspiration. You looked about like I do(or how I think I look) and I can't wait to look like the new you!

Maybe I will try one...what flavor do you suggest?

My trainer is suggesting it. She would like me to eat one a day. So far I haven't found a single one I can stand.

I guess you are right. I just guess I kind of envy people that eat it. My kids love it. Plus I don't eat eggs either so breakfast gets kind of boring...was hoping to add some life to it.

Right now we aren't hurting but, we will be in a few months. I talked to my trainer about this and she said...eat the 99 cent hamburger helper...but pair it w/ a salad or a veggie. Lettuce is pretty cheap. And you can make your own salad dressing for pretty cheap. It isn't eating clean..but it will help you feel better…

Nope but I invited a IRL friend to join so I am hoping she will. Also would love to meet some of my friend IRL...maybe someday!

I don't get freaked out. But, I think I know where they are coming from(not the 200 calories ones but the ones that go over 1500-2500 calories). They are so afraid that they will let it ruin what they have accomplished. That tomorrow they will do it again...and the next day....kwim? I have this fear about the gym. I am so…

It can happen. For a week and a half I was stuck at 222 even though I had busted my butt working out 7 days a week...a day with my trainer.... and eating below calories. Then I went out of town and didn't do anything for 3 days. Came back to a 5lb loss. And then a 1lb the next day. I could say it was the doing…

I haven't tried it(allergic to blueberries) but one of the trainers at my gym said she does this with frozen blueberries. Let me know if it works!

My bet is that you are reducing the FAT on them and building muscle which is why they are not shrinking. I had a friend that gained a huge amount of inches in hers in a little over 6 weeks. So only lost 3 pounds in those same 6 weeks. She was so discouraged until she saw that her body fat had gone down 7%. Apparently she…
