A year ago, I tried doing 1250 net. It worked for a little while, but then the scale didn't seem to budge. Probably because I was cheating, which means I didn't like the program. I'm really into planning ahead of time, so I didn't like having to adjust my intake every day based on whether I was working out or not.…

Eating less, not eating until I was stuffed, not eating out of boredom.

Exercise: Would've gone for a jog this morning, but rain was in the forecast. So probably won't be doing anything active today. Food: Having a smoothie for breakfast, can't wait! And going to bake bread for dinner, first time, so hopefully that turns out well. And, my "gain" from this weekend seems to be coming off. I…

I was feeling lazy this weekend too, but had to put in about seven hours of work. And then also some chores. When work calms down in a few weeks, I'm going to have a true lazy Sunday and eat cupcakes and watch The Chronicles of Narnia. :glasses: I also went to a friend's bbq (which required a four hour round-trip drive),…

My HW was around 185, and I'm currently 145ish. GW is 135. Feel free to add me.

Run with a buddy for the first few times.

krnorris - I wish I could go jogging on a trail instead of on concrete sidewalks. Well, I probably could, but I can hardly squeeze in a jog around my neighborhood right now. I should try to make it happen, though. Have fun! My beta carotene and vitamin A come from: -dairy products -chicken -fish -the occasional sweet…

This week has been really busy work-wise. I've put in 55 hours since Monday, and will probably do another 15 this weekend. :( Trying not to feel bitter, and still staying on track - the scale is moving. I'm going to a friend's house and will probably have dinner there. Not too worried, though. It's okay if I over-indulge a…

Got to do a fair amount of work this weekend, which means more sitting than I'd like (job work, not house work). I'd like to be able to check a bunch of things off my list, but I don't think it's going to happen. Food-wise, I was good yesterday and today. Even managed to fit in a white russian this evening - chocolate milk…

13 - I try to order kids' sizes for desserts, especially ice cream. I've gotten over feeling silly asking.

You look slammin'! Love that dress. Good work!

Ran 3.67 miles today and plan to go to yoga tonight. Will also be going out for dinner and getting goulash. I'm going to do my best to only eat half and save the rest for lunch tomorrow. I hate when I eat *just* too much of my meal that it's no longer worth saving...and then just finishing it off. No! Not tonight. ETA: And…

Rough start here also - went over by 200 because I had a few extra bites at dinner. So goal #1 is to eat 50 cals less Tu-Fr to make up for it. Also, I only went to yoga once last week (goal is twice/week), so goal #2 is to go to yoga three times by Sunday.

queen - it's nice of you to put your dad first like that. Good job not using that as an excuse when making meal choices. This weekend was pretty good. I spent about 5 hours doing work in a cafe on Saturday. Had bagels and lox and lots of coffee with skim milk. Then a friend called, so we went out for ramen and popsicles…

Kashaas - New workout gear can definitely be motivating. I'm still running in t-shirts and running shorts I've had for maybe 5 years now, plus some moisture-wicking shirts I recently found at a thrift store. When I'm closer to my GW, I might invest in some newer cuter stuff. I also probably need some new sports bras - I'm…

This weekend was pretty good. I managed to stay under my calorie limit yesterday, despite going to the beach and not planning my meals ahead of time. Today I had brunch AND baked cupcakes AND watched the World Cup Final with a beer AND for dinner had a super cheesy pastry dish. And still managed to squeeze it all in under…

13: I know what you mean about sweet drinks. I drink my coffee with milk only. Sometimes at Dunkin Donuts they mishear me and add sugar and I have to throw it out. Way too sweet. If I do put sugar in my coffee, it's like a treat, and a tsp is enough.

Decided today to officially retire a pair of pants. They've been about two sizes too big for a little while now, but today they were just plain uncomfortable. But at least "too loose" uncomfortable is a lot more bearable than "too tight" uncomfortable! :smile: ETA: I'm going to the beach this Saturday and haven't worn my…

I'll be having a Boston Kreme doughnut with my Dunkin' coffee tomorrow morning, and an egg/cheese/turkey bacon sandwich for lunch :/ I'll be squeezing in some arugula and watermelon, but definitely not one of my better days. I really need to get in more fiber and protein. I find, though, that I can only get enough of one…

Hi all! Name or Nickname: "Farrah" or "Holly" or "Hey you!" Why are you on mfp: I went from overweight to normal after graduating from college four years ago without trying, and it felt great. But lately I noticed my clothes getting a little tighter, and I also just graduated from grad school, so I decided it was time to…

The difference is clear, way to go and keep it up!

Sounds good! I like the image. I started watching Disney's The Princess and the Frog last night and it seems to have a similar message - it's not enough to wish for something, you gotta actually work for it. (Yes, I'm 26 and watch Disney movies.)

Overnight oats with yogurt, chia seeds, and nuts. You can add honey or something if you like it sweet. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/03/14/overnight-oatmeal-recipes-_n_4965206.html

Hi! I would love some more friends. I'm 26, just finished grad school, and adjusting to work life. I have about 15 lbs I'd like to lose. I've been on everyday for the past 6 weeks or so and would love to see some more activity on my news feed.
