Hi Lynn, thanks for the response :) Dropping the other major would make the other 2 useless for the work I want to get into, I would have been in school after my grant runs out no matter what though, it's just a matter of using it or losing it atm. It is too close to the start of the spring semester for me to swap or study…

In the same boat hun =( please feel free to add me, and GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

The dress I wore to my high school graduation, it's the smallest piece of clothing I can ever remember fitting in, and damn near felt hot =P that was 10 years ago /sigh

Hey, I'm sure that a lot of people on MFP (myself included) are emotional eaters, or we wouldn't be here. I've lost a lot of people that I care about and it's incredibly difficult, don't beat yourself up for making a mistake. You recognize it and know that you want to change it, that's more than some people do in a…

Do you have anything that helped you push through it? I'm at an extremely low point myself, already on antidepressants etc and just at the point where motivationwise I have nothing left... I just want to crawl in a hole and let whatever happens happen. Not meaning to be a downer on the thread, just want to know what ppl…

I have 124 pounds to lose >.< please add me! brittaura is my username

Haha thanks! And yes it does make sense, it's a lot easier to be on track if other people are doing it and/or poking you lol

I agree, thank you very much!

I see a lot of people on here telling you that it's going to be b/w 26-29 points, please don't assume that. If you're not eating enough points you're body will go into starvation mode and you will not lose, or you could even gain weight. The meetings are usually free in January b/c that's when everyone's after that New…

oh sorry I forgot to say that you should also check with one of the leaders in your group or call the 800 number to make sure you're at the right daily point goal, as you lose weight it should change with you... I'm pretty sure you already know that but it never hurts to double check! =D

One thing that you have to keep in mind is that weight watchers allows a lot of flexibility with the extra weekly allowance and the points earned from exercise. If you are underestimating the amount of what you are using you could be charging yourself the wrong amount of points, or if you're overestimating you could not be…

Wow ftw!! I also played D3 and SWORT but they got a bit old, going to check out the free version next week though :)

Captain & coke/cream soda Vodka cran w/ lime Baileys straight up Oatmeal cookie (made with Goldschlager not that nasty version with Jagger) :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Usually when I ask someone "wow how'd you do it?" I'm not referring to diet and nutrition... I'm talking about motivation and staying faithful to it. Weight loss itself is fairly common sense, but determination and motivation... those are harder in my opinion. Just my 2 cents :drinker:

Yes :cry: it blows too. Mine may just be b/c I still have so much left to lose that it's daunting and discouraging though. It is hard to be positive and proud when you've lost a ton of weight and still can't wear "normal" clothes and are ashamed of your weight. It's a tough ride.

PC gamer for life!!!!!! hehe were you horde or alliance? Nerdgasm aside, I'm just getting restarted myself and would be happy to join your support group if you'd like to add me.

I prefer the elliptical b/c then I can work out my arms a little bit too, I find it more challenging especially when you switch it up every couple mins and go backwards or something. But I hate the treadmill b/c I feel like the sound of my feet hitting the platform sounds like a baby elephant on a rampage, so I'm biased…

The only differences I can see b/w the FT70 and FT80 is that the 80 has a gps and an at rest test.... is this correct? There's a pretty significant difference in price....

Dunno if it matters, but my work outs are 35-45 mins of cardio (mostly treadmill, spinning, or elliptical) and a toning circuit my trainer made me (one is for cybex machines and the other is with free weights). I have 2 sets of each and I switch them around throughout a couple weeks so my body doesn't get used to a certain…

Thanks everyone for the suggestions I'm looking them all up at the moment. I had never heard of a fitbit so I looked it up, from what I read it seemed like the same thing?

Yes and no. Saunas make you sweat which releases salt and water from the body which is a loss of weight. It works the heart b/c of increased circulation and it can reduce pain and/or swelling to help with workouts and what not. But in general when you re-hydrate yourself after using the sauna you put that water that you…

Thank you everyone for the responses! Hopefully we can encourage each other, I'm excited that there's so many people on these boards, I didn't expect that :happy:

Good luck!! Everyone falls off the wagon, as long as you get back on you can always fix it!! :flowerforyou:
