Feel free to add or message me too :-)

Lately I've been all about the greek yogurts. They're much tastier and Chabani has been my favorite! Especially in blueberry or pomegranate. But I'm usually a cereal junky.

I just bought a new car in February-2013 Honda Civic Coupe LX in white! I drove it off the lot with only 3 factory miles but now it's up to 1600. I love it! the features and design of the brand new hondas are beautiful! finally i'm in something reliable. I used to drive an adorable 2003 VW Bug convertible (manual engine)…

Thanks for sharing your story. Your struggle, although different than mine, really proves to me that anyone can do what they put their mind to. Congrats on your recent success and I hope you keep it up! I also see you finding success in a competitive environment-like someone mentioned above. I should involve myself more in…

Ha! Great intro. Thank you for understanding. And keeping OFF 20lbs is NOTHING to be ashamed of! You are doing something right. Congrats on all the success, btw! PhD Program is something to boast about. Unfortunately, I didn't find that miss-the-gym attitude present when I started going back. In fact, unlike bfore, it was…

Thank You!

Great advice too, thanks. I've done a local 5K the past 2 years here, and signed up for this year's. The 5K keeps me pretty motivated, especially in trying to "out due" my previous time. This year is different especially because my sister and cousin are running with me-two people who are in a lot better shape than me. So…

Thanks for sharing! Many people have started using those, actually, especially on campus! I try to take the stairs when I can there. And you are correct about sleep. Often times I completely lose out on it, and I know for a fact that's a very easy thing to lead to gaining.

Thank you for sharing. I know that so much of it is diet-like you said, nearly all of it. I just feel very disappointed that I don't have the reasoning I once did to pick out better things to eat. But I'm hoping that my experience last night is my wake up call. Congrats on achieving your success through your eating-maybe…

Thanks! That's why I always come back to MFP-to be with such a wide variety of people who understand the struggles. Good luck in school!
-
Thanks. I agree whole heartedly about diet. I mean, diet really is everything at the end of the day. I am in a bit of a situation where I tend to overeat, or "grab seconds". A result of a full time college student and being on campus nearly 12 hours 4 days a week results in me having to "purchase" lunch at food places…

vodka drinker here-and I will not give it up, but moderation is totally key ;-)

For Nokanjaijo: This quote from that article made me die laughing!!! All I want to do is watch ****ty television after a long week of school and work!!! "A long day of dealing with bull**** often leads to an evening of no-decision television in which you don’t even feel like switching the channel to get Kim Kardashian’s…

Absolutely. Thanks, I appreciate it!
-
Amen to that. It's good you understand what has triggered it. I'm also trying to do that-and not blame it strictly on work or school-but maybe on psychological factors. They always say stress weight is a suprise weight gain.
-
Thanks VeeBeth, well said. I appreciate those steps you look to. Maybe figuring out who I am and exactly what I want would be a great step into turning on the motivation.

Same here!! I'd love to do this!!! 5'6 1/2 Weight now: 179 Goal Weight: 159 Size: 10 pants Goal Size: 6/8 pants

I understand, totally. Losing weight is a DAILY battle. And to actually loose weight, (not maintain your current weight), you MUST put in every effort in every hour of the day. It's saying no to the thing you know deep down inside you are supposed to be saying no to. It's using every ounce of energy to workout and burn the…

I believe it's crucial-at least to have a little something within an hour of waking up. There used to be a period of my life when I didn't eat breakfast because it would make me feel sick-that was when I happened to weigh the most in my life! Now breakfast is really mandatory for me, and it absolutely gets me ready to go…

Absolutely incredible! Congrats to you!

anytime i eat anything high in fat/calories, i remember how hard it was to burn off that many calories at the gym..and it helps (not always, but sometimes) prevent me from eating it. or i will eat only half. it's not the journey, it's the destination. don't look at the struggles and let downs of not getting to eat your…

It's the story of my life. I've always been "chunky" or "chubby" as the family called it. For me, it mostly stems from eating. I live a pretty active lifestyle, meaning I love to go out, I do enjoy exercising, and I work 2 jobs and stay busy. But I always overeat, if you will. Whether it's grabbing seconds at dinner,…

Already on it!!!! Lol.

I totally know what you mean. I've ALWAYS had a belly line, meaning, a pregnant looking belly that cuts off. I see people who wear the same size as me who seem to keep a somewhat flat stomach. But I carry my weight at my lower stomach. It seriously looks like I'm pregnant, and I know people have looked at me before…
