So I'm no stranger to MFP. I joined about 9 months ago and logged "everything" or "almost everything" for 2 months and really didn't notice any weight loss. I was going to the gym 4-5 days a week and was like "WTF, why am I not losing anything?!" Then I fell off the wagon and ended up every heavier than when I started.…

hot dang! bumpity bump bump!

Ugh. Well let's see. Broke up with my boyfriend of 4.5 years. Uncle's cancer came back. Grandfather in hospital. Did not work out, ate like CRAP. Put on 1 lb since last week. I guess I'll take it. This week WILL be better. Will restart logging, restart exercise, cut out soda and junk and get back to my 8 cups of water a…

Hey all, will bump to post later. Can somebody log my 187 to the spreadsheet? I can't access it on my phone and I'm in Houston for the weekend :)

I lost! I lost I lost I lost!! I'm down 1.5 lbs from last week and 4.5 lbs overall. Thank goodness cause I was starting to get a little disappointed. I kept a close eye on my calories this week (plus I went back to work after vacation so I can't think about eating as often) and I woke up every morning at 5am to exercise…

Woohoo! I finally had a loss this week! Down 1.5 lbs. Not a ton, but I'll take it! The scale does in fact budge :) ~H

No gain, no loss. Better luck next time I think... I'm guessing even though I'm staying in my calories I'm just not eating the right stuff. Will reevaluate for next week and just try something different! ~H

Well, I'm up 1/2 a pound now that I'm back at home at my home scale. I'm not terribly disappointed because a week of vacation at my parent's house has meant I'm eating EVERYTHING that they make and not watching my portions. I've kept track of my calories but I haven't been within my range or exercising as much as I should.…

Oh Snowflakes... Well, all of my good intentions went down the drain today. I've been staying within my calories, working out, doing well. I got some bad news last night and relationship troubles meant that today I totally binged. And you know what? I don't feel better, I just feel even more disappointed AND now I don't…

Wow! That is AMAZING determination! I'm pretty sure I would have scarfed that whole donut, way to go you!

Measure out blueberries and blackberries that fit your calories for the rest of your day, melt 2 tbsp of nutella in microwave and drizzle over berries Bet it'll be delicious and give you a chocolate fix without busting everything for the day - just know that 2tbsp of nutella is 200 calories

Well, after a great food week my first week I'm off to a rough start. I'm visiting my parents for the week so they are cooking and I'm eating what they've got...which included waffles and all the breakfast fixins and delivery pizza! Gah! I've also developed an awesome sore throat thanks to all the kids in the ER who…

Bump! i love this! I just ordered "Fix it and Forget it" so I'm looking forward to it :)

Gotta say, pretty good week all things considered :) Lost 3 pounds! I didn't even get to do the exercise I wanted to...not motivated and a weird work schedule worked against me. So, staying within my calorie goal worked out. Really measuring what I'm eating and looking up the foods I used to eat (like burgers!) before…
