I would like to join, please. Current weight: 223 lbs. Challenge goal weight: 195 lbs.

Shellfish boil w/ spicy sauce! Belgian waffles or Swedish pancakes?

I am! I figured that as long as I track all my food, that's progress. Feel free to add me as a friend!

Absolutely, except I managed to screw up over a year of good eating and working out. I gained back the 35 pounds I lost and feel miserable. What's frustrating is that I thought I'd finally gotten this "change of lifestyle" thing down and that the weight would stay off for good. I am so disappointed in myself. However, I…

A 30-pound weight loss is fantastic! Great job! Don't be so hard on yourself, and try not to think of how much you need to lose. Maybe break that number up into smaller goals. For example, I need to lose 64 pounds, but I'll drive myself crazy (and become unmotivated in the process) if I obsess about how much I need to…

We are weight loss goals twins! I am also 5'6", weight 213 and my ultimate goal is 155. Add me!

I'm right there with you. Lost 34 pounds then gained it all back. But I've been on track now for almost a week, and I feel better already. I'm a teacher, too. I know how hard it is to make time for yourself, but you need to do it. I force myself to leave school at 3:30 and stop at the gym before picking my son up from…

Feel free to add me. I fight the stress-emotional eating battle daily, and honestly, it's been kicking my *kitten*. I'm trying to get back on track.

I started my journey at 215.2 lbs. back in January 2013. Through diligent logging on MFP and 4-6 days a week at the gym, I got down to 184 in October 2013. Since then, it's been a real struggle for me. Reality set in when I stepped on the scale on January 1st a few days ago and the scale read 215.6. I feel sad, angry with…

Feel free to friend me as well. Once I start eating "bad" stuff, I just can't stop myself. I thought I'd broken this cycle a year ago (when I lost 36 pounds), but now I've regained most of the weight back. I refuse to give up completely, though. What I've found has worked for me is to avoid problem foods, which for me are…

You look great! Keep up the fantastic work!

I feel like I also could've written this post. I've suffered from depression since my teens, and I'm now 37. I was 184 in November. I stepped on the scale this morning at 205.8. I'm feeling extremely discouraged, but I don't want to give up altogether. Please feel free to friend me (everyone who has responded to this…

I want to prove to myself that I can become a fit,…

I am in exactly the same boat. Since Halloween, I have been eating uncontrollably, and I've gained 7 of the 35 pounds I worked so hard to lose. My problem is sweets. I can 't stop eating chocolate, cookies, cake. I need to stop eating all these sweets altogether because it is impossible for me to eat only one portion. It's…

I have a weakness for good bread: sourdough, baguette, bagels, rolls, cranberry and walnut bread, cinnamon raisin bread, croissants...It's gotten to the point where I can't buy a loaf of bread or else I will eat it all by myself. I have devoured the bulk of a loaf on my drive home from work. Bread is a dangerous thing for…

I aim to lose between 5 to 10 pounds between now and Christmas. If I can lose 5 pounds, I'll reach my 1st year MFP anniversary 40 pounds lighter.

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm around your age and height, and it's wonderful to see someone who has reached what my goal is.

You look gorgeous in your sparkly dress! Well done!

SW: 220 lbs. CW: 185.4 lbs. Goal for end of September: 180 lbs. UGW: 155 lbs. or less 9/6: 185.4 lbs

Yay! It's Valcor the Luck Dragon!

Yes, I often times do feel like giving up. I even hear that voice in my head that says, "Oh, it's not THAT bad being fat. Maybe I can just stay fat." But then the more reasonable voice tells me that it's not an option to give up. I'm in such a better place now than I was last year. I'm more energetic, more aware of how I…

I also struggle with binge eating and often feel ashamed of myself. I find it helps to avoid any "trigger" foods to begin with. There are certain foods I just can't have around me. For example, I can't buy a loaf of bread from the bakery because I will eat the entire thing by myself, sometimes in just one day. It also…

Wonderful job! You look great!

Congrats on reaching your goal. You look fabulous!

I only have one friend and would love many more! Add me: //www.fitbit.com/user/25TGK2

I am 36 years old and have a 2.5 year old son. I've lost 30 pounds but have another 30 to 35 more to lose. Feel free to add me!

I'm sorry this is happening. I agree with you: if he's leaving, then he needs to leave now. He can go stay in a hotel or with some friends. Take good care of yourself.

Bravo! You look wonderful!

Great job! Keep up the fantastic work!
