Don't give p...I gained and lost the same 3 pounds over and over in November....right around the same loss you are at now. Maybe change up your food a bit, and are you strenghth training? I am really trying to focus on that as I see so many weight lifting success stories. I want to get to an 90-100 pound loss too, please…

I think you can create custom exercises, so maybe google a calculator for what you are doing and then add the exercise.

How tall are you? You may want to add some strength training to mix things up....lots of great stories on here about that!!!

maybe try going back down to what you were doing before you upped your intake? Perhaps you put yourself into maintainence mode...not everyone reacts the exact same way.

You ask your husband for weightlifting gloves for Christmas because you are getting calluses from the heavier weights.

feel free to add me too...I have 60 pounds gone and about 40 to go...started at a high of about 243...would love to support you and have some more support. Battling through these holidays right now...but keeping up my workouts!

feel free to add me...I am feeling the holiday cookie stress myself, but the MFP friends and forum are helping me stay on track. You can do it...new year, new you!

Spectacular...you are rocking that birthday dress!

feel free to add me, I still have a ways to go, and am battling christmas sweets right now...I try to do workouts on the xbox kinect when I can't get out of the house and it is helpful. Always looking for other mom friends battling the weight!

I have been the fat sister in a group of six....working hard to shed that feeling!!!

Awesome results!!! You shrunk all over!

Up 3.....and I wanted more pie but it disappeared!!

Fiber or protein....a bowl of high fiber cereal is nice at night....and a touch sweet.

I'm thinking of getting laser eye surgery.....sounds like a great splurge for something significant!!!

Sadly, there are so many overweight people in this country that I don"t think people have a good idea anymore of what weight looks like. I know i don't! I totally agree that frame and muscle fitness make a huge difference. My sister and I have very similar frames, last year she worked really hard and dropped 15 lbs and got…

Pick one scale and stick with it....obsessing over two scales is too much!!!!

I resisted white fudge Oreos at the store today....they only come out at Christmas....thought I had another month before I had to resist them!

Nice one!!!!

Ditto....soda stream water fizzed is awesome! We love ours!!!

Love this one!!! Way to flaunt it!

Cantaloupe and honeydew melon.....can't stand the smell or eat anything they may have touched!!!!!!

Upload!!! And show us your 170 self...seeing wha you did will help you get back there.

What has happened in the three months to cause the gain? Can't expect to drop it again in a week. This journeys such an up and down thing, have to dig deep sometimes to et myself back on track!!!

Good luck!

Just use MVP to jump start....stick with it the first 3 weeks and you'll be amazed how much you lose, and you'll have formed great new healthy habits.

I spend a lot of time in my upstairs room to stay away from the refrigerator. ;)

I am at 190 now, have lost 50 to get here, but hoping to get to 135-140. Eating tons of fruits, veggies, fiber, and trying to increase my exercise endurance, but mostly doing it everyday with small "cheats" only 1-2 times per month. You can do it, take pics now and measurements too...it really helps to see that progress…

Great to see what I will look like in another 40 lbs. I was around 135-145 most of high school and college, and I never felt really thin. 20 years later and that weight looks SO thin to me....weird how we put ourselves when we are young, but also what the new normal is these days!

Don't give up. It's not a problem to treat yourself, but think about how good the healthy eating makes you feel!!!
