Okay, thanks horndave! I'll see what happens when I don't eat all my calories if I'm not hungry, but I guess I'll just stuff my face if it doesn't work! Isn't it weird that before doing this we ate so much crap, and now we're hard pressed to eat 1200 calories some days?

Good morning! Today I am at 178.4 :bigsmile: I'm so glad getting into the 170s wasn't a fluke! Woo! Mel - Hopefully you'll get some sleep and start to feel better really soon. Although, I know it's just the beginning of the week so it'll be kind of hard to get sleep in. I probably slept too much over the weekend and now…

Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I'm at 179.2 today! Wooo! I love being in the 70s!! Modell - I'd be so excited if the scale said I lost that much in a day! It would be my friend again :laugh: Nevermore - Happy late birthday! I'm glad you got to spend it with your friends, even if it was at work all day :flowerforyou:

Good morning Red Team! I am confused on my days because of the long weekend, and will probably try to go to my Monday classes at some point today :laugh: But, other than that, I am pretty frustrated with this little plateau I'm trying to break from. I am at 180.6 this morning, which is a 0.2 pound loss from last week, but…

I was on Yaz for about 3 years before it randomly started messing up my hormones and made me have like two periods a month. Not cool. Anyway, I did gain weight while on Yaz, but because of my habits, not because of the pill. Also, I lost about 10 pounds while on Yaz, so it is definitely possible to lose weight with it. I…

Awesome, thank you! I'll be sure to look those up :flowerforyou:

The scale was definitely not my friend this week. I fluctuated between 181 and 184 the whole week and finally came out at 180.6 this morning :grumble: It's not much of a loss, but 0.4 pounds is still 0.4 pounds, right? I hope everyone has had a better week than I did! :flowerforyou: As for the challenge, what about…

It's okay virginiakatie, I always make sure he knows when he says something wrong lol :tongue: I just think it's hard for him to understand what upsets me because he's never been overweight, always just above underweight really, so he doesn't know that him saying those kinds of things can upset me so much. It's hard for…

Oh how much I feel your frustration! I weigh 181 pounds, and my boyfriend weighs 130. He's super skinny (but muscular, he just has to bulk up too) and always eats whatever he wants. Since we're in college, it's hard to watch him get the pizza and cheese-filled breadsticks with french fries and two cookies while I'm…

I've thought about that but I have nobody to spot me while doing that, and that area is swarmed with football players this time of year and I wouldn't be able to get anything done.

I'm at 181 this morning! Yay! Just 6 more pounds until I give myself the gift of pizza and breadsticks :bigsmile: Also, I have a question: I, too, am starting school again today and will be walking from class to class and whatnot, so should I change my lifestyle setting in my goals? It is at mostly sedentary right now,…

My OMG moment was when I went to the doctor's for my yearly visit and the scale said 200 pounds. I knew I was that big (although I'd never really thought anything of it, I have always been big), but the doctor, God bless her, sat me down and said, "Kristy, you're obese." What? OBESE? Nope. Don't believe you. "You might…

184.6! I met my 'before school' goal of 15 pounds lost! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Hello everybody! I was on the dreaded vacation for the past two weeks. :frown: Usually I like going camping, but this time we decided to take my 7-year-old nephew, my two 4-year-old and my 3-year-old nieces. It was fun, but I'm just so so so tired :yawn: There is good news to be had from this, though! Even with s'mores and…

Oh right on! :bigsmile: I saw the previews for this show and I just thought to myself, "How redicilous!" People who are bigger usually don't have to stay that way, it's their lifestyle choice. I haven't watched the show, but the way you're describing it, it sounds like they're all just having a big pity party for…

Hooray for you!!! I just recently acheived this goal myself... it's so rewarding to know that what you're doing is actually working! :bigsmile: Congratulations, and keep up the amazing job! :flowerforyou:

189.0! Woo woo! I even got past my nephew's birthday where there was pizza, cake, and ice cream :happy: I hope you feel better soon though! :flowerforyou:

Thank you all for the kind words! It just makes me want to keep going even more now :flowerforyou: And this just reiterates for me how much I just love this site! Even the smallest thing is commended. It definitely helps to have such an extensive support system :laugh:

Thanks for the tips everyone! I'll definitely try the gum thing, and I'll start buying bags of baby carrots. I love carrots and they might be able to satisfy the constant want for something to eat while studying! :flowerforyou:

I would like to join too! MFP starting weight : 199 Current weight : 194 :happy:

Thanks so much for this thread :flowerforyou: I am that much more motivated now to get to my goal weight! I'm going to look good :laugh:

When my bra doesn't cut into my tummy when I sit down! I can't wait until that doesn't happen anymore!

Thank you all for your advice! I will enjoy my weight loss while it's happening :smile:
