Cashier at a convenience store. I work 10pm to 6am.

Definitely looking forward to this!

I'll be 25 in January and have a 10 week old little girl. Feel free to add me!

Don't give up!!!! So you had a bad weekend, IT HAPPENS! You just have to try to do better and keep going. As a tip (since I have a major sweet tooth), try looking for 100 calorie snacks with chocolate. My favorites are the Hostess mini chocolate cakes since they always cure my craving, but they also have pudding cups,…

Definitely disagree with this post. All I've really done is monitored my calories. I still eat "fattening" foods, just smaller portions and I've lost just over 30 pounds in about three and a half months. No one has to put up with hunger pangs as long as they have a calorie deficit at the end of the day. If you want to eat…

Thanks for all of the imput everyone! If it doesn't even out soon, I will go see the doctor. The thing is that I know beyond a doubt it isn't stress and I've always been like clockwork for the past 10 years UNTIL I started to watch my calories. Anyway, like I said, thank you all. It's really appreciated!

In one of the stories where I used to work, I used to be on the overnight shift. I would be in the back (the stockroom) on the net and could hear footsteps and boxes shuffling behind me even though I was the only one there. You could also feel warm breezes in the dead of winter (with no heat back there) and tickling on the…

Before anyone thinks all I do is watch tv lol..... I listen to most of these shows at work because we have cable. Once Upon A Time Supernatural King of the Hill Kitchen Nightmares Bewitched I Dream of Jeannie Mysteries at the Museum Facts of Life The Jeffersons Celebrity Ghost Stories The Haunted

Have you gone to the gym or even the workout section in the store and picked up 20 pounds worth of weights? It's definitely a lot!!!!! Be proud of every little bit you lose! And hey, if you're trying to lose more, know that you will. I'm just doing portion control too and working out every so often. Weight takes time to…

For me, it was both. As a child, I had no clue about what was healthy to eat and what wasn't so I just ate whatever my parents gave me. I was told to always finish my food and when you feed a child the same portions as adults, they're going to get overweight. I also remember going to the grocery store with my dad once and…

I don't have a problem with my legs or anything like that to stop me from wearing shorts, I just don't because they always ride up and I HATE it!! Who wants to walk around trying to adjust clothing all day long? But hopefully that will change once I lose some more weight :D

I used to gain about 5 pounds during that time but since I've been on mpf, it's only been about a pound or two. Really, it's more like I don't gain (since you naturally fluctuate a few pounds each day anyway) but it just doesn't come off as fast.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand why it would be a problem for you to stick to your weight loss plans. I just got over a cold a few days ago and my problem was trying not to eat too less since all I really wanted was soup and ice water.

Do what I do: Go out to dinner with your SO and sit near a table with children. Works EVERY time, whether I actually want a baby or not. I just don't understand how parents can let their children scream and scream and run around like little monkeys. I was never allowed to get away with that!

Let's see.... Age: 23 Height: 5'3 CW: 235 GW: Somewhere around 130 or so.

I'm also doing a pound a week. The slow results aren't so fun, especially after I lost so much weight the first month but I just keep in mind that it's a lifestyle change for me and not a diet. I'm going to keep watching my calories and getting more exercise whether I see great results or none at all for a while because I…

Yeah, I do know what you mean! I've never been pregnant before and I've always been overweight without paying much attention to what people think of me but now it's like... I'm MORE aware of how they see me just because I know I'm losing weight but know that to most people that see me, I just look big. Funny how that works…

I really have only had it once in the past month and a half BUT cheese fries. I know how bad they are for me but they're so good! Now that I got my fix tonight though, maybe it'll be another month and a half or more before I go there again.

Milk. It gets rid of the upset stomach anyway because it coats it.

You were very pretty before but now you're downright adorable :D Congratulations!!!

I know just how you feel. I've never been all over the scales but instead just steadily gaining through my life because I'm an emotional eater too. It IS an addiction and it's one that's incredibly difficult to overcome but it can be done. You have to find other outlets for your emotions and remind yourself that you can…

I lost 19 pounds my first month but it's slowing now, which I expected since I would've been shocked (but happy) if I could keep losing about 20 pounds a month. This is my second month so we'll see what happens. As of right now, it looks like it will be about 4 or 5 pounds.

I know what you mean too. I lost 20 pounds in the first month (or 19 anyway) and now the scale isn't moving. It does worry me sometimes that it won't ever move again and that I'll lose my motivation but just thinking that I lost almost 20 pounds so far and that I don't want to go back to the weight I started at is enough…

I don't have the playlist on me right now but it has a lot of LMFAO, Gaga, Katy Perry, things like that.

That's great! You look happier and healthier. Keep up the good work!

Amazing!

I've always been a little jealous of my husband because he NEVER works out and can sit there and eat things like an entire can of Pringles, go through a 12 pack of sodas in three days, eat a carton of ice cream in two, and never gains a pound! He's about 120 pounds and has been for his entire life. I'm really not sure how…

Normally I would say to leave it be but I think you should go ahead and have that beer or pudding cup. If you always feel deprived or like you're missing out, you won't be able to keep up with your weight loss plan.

I've been there before but the thing is that maybe you should stop waiting for "tomorrow" and start today. Instead of grabbing a soda the next time you go into the kitchen, get a glass of water. Instead of grabbing another snack, try to distract yourself with something else. Trust me, I know it's hard!! You probably FEEL…

I know what you mean. This is my second time on MFP and this time I haven't really added any friends and seem to be doing BETTER now. I'm sure it was just a coincidence because I'm more determined this time but it really makes you think. Surrounding yourself with a support system is always helpful.
