I woke up last night eating almost half a jar of peanut butter with chocolate chips. (I have a problem with night-bingeing in my sleep.) I won't be logging that experience today.

You need to see a doctor, and you need to look around and see if there are any environmental factors that might be worrisome- for example, do you live under power lines, near radioactive materials, or in a location where dumping of toxic/hazardous chemicals might be present? Also, some older homes contain materials that…

Add me! I log in daily, may not comment much (nursing student), but try to at least "Like" good things. :smiley:

I LOVE Insanity.....but that said, I mix in Brazilian Butt Lift, Hip Hop Abs, or Zumba when I'm just not feeling it. Another handy trick is to reward myself with something non-food for finishing a whole week without missing. Good luck, and if you TRULY hate it, there is something out there somewhere you will love- just…

Your post made me full-on cry! Congratulations on such an important, REAL success! You look amazing, and your ability to hold on to your true self while dealing with how the rest of the world reflected "you" back to you is deeply inspiring. Thank you for sharing, and continued success!

Yes! Second semester RN student, mom of three, just starting clinicals in Med/Surg. I am making it work with MFP and relying on a combination of physical chores that have to be done anyway and Insanity videos. Failure is NOT an option.....!

Request sent! What a much-needed boost just at the time of year where I really start WANTING to eat less healthy.

It looks like loose skin to me. I am 40, have had 3 kids (gained and lost the same 75# with each one), and six months ago I could have taken a belly selfie that looks almost identical. I've lost 36# in six months, and there is improvement weekly. Wait and see if your body catches up and firms up before getting…

Excellent! WTG!!!!!

Great job on your loss, and you look AMAZING!! Can't wait to see the "I DID IT!!!!" post to follow- you're flying in the right direction. :smile:

I put on a pair of small vintage size 8 jeans I bought but was not able to wear comfortably, and they are now PERFECT!!!! (And may be pictured in my profile pic shortly.....)

If you posted things that were intelligent, insightful, or asking for feedback that would make a difference to you in some way, I would talk to you. In real life? Maybe. Depends on whether you seemed friendly/receptive. (And no, I'm not saying you DON'T, even in this thread.......) When you already have an idea of what is…

I haven't been to the gym in 5 years. I got a FitBit from my DH for Christmas, and in addition to the 3-6 miles I try to walk or run several times a week, I now can see how much movement I do in a day. I also do the Insanity videos, Brazilian Buttlift, Zumba, or anything else that sounds good. Usually you can get free…

Static forearm plank-120 seconds. Wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Not weird at all! I keep realizing I now put my fingers in front of my hip bone and hook my thumb behind, feeling how sharp and shallow it is. When alone, I used to grab the roll of 3-baby belly that was still left no matter what I did, but it's starting to flatten out, so I've stopped. Lying down I rub my hipbones and…

I'm in, starting 9/1! :D

I love it because it's a constant reminder to me to move more, and it generally tracks what I do. That said, if I am going to be pushing a stroller, shopping cart, using a treadmill or anything else where my arms aren't moving in response to what I am doing, I use a hair elastic to put it around my ankle so that it…

Hi! Muscle weighs more than fat, and as you tone up, you may weigh more. PMS is also NEVER your friend for weigh-ins! Just keep track of your intake vs. output in calories, watch your measurements for progress, and certainly your trainer would mention if he/she felt you weren't making any progress. It can be frustrating,…

Two most recent: 1. Just signed up for my first 5k. 2. My mother-who delights in giving me new clothes, but only in L/XL sizes- finally accepted that I am a M-going-into-a-S, and gave me a shirt that I not only LOVE, but didn't have to give away because I will never be that size again. This second one is a NSV for me that…

I adore this particular inaccurate function! Sometimes it is the only reason I keep logging. My favorite part is that if you're synched with a Fitbit (as I am), it continues to calculate even after you've completed your MFP logging day. So if you don't like the "future number" it gives you, it may even motivate you to go…

Pizza (as in EATING WHOLE PIZZAS) CHEESE (by the block) cookie dough homemade dinner rolls with butter spicy chips (like Doritoes or Takis) I manage them by specifying what I can have on MFP BEFORE I start, or I just throw it out to the dogs once I've had what I'm allowed, if I know I'm going to eat all of it anyway. For…

I am a SAHM to 3 kids, 10, 8 and 4, and have been since my job disappeared four years ago. I am now in nursing school as well....so I know staying home, raising kids and busy. But my husband requires a level of clean that is hard to maintain with three other people messing it up constantly. (He works away from home all…

5'7", 169# and I wear a size 8. At my thinnest, I wore a size 5 dress and had the "thigh gap", but didn't feel very healthy :(. The women in my family have awesome hourglass figures....but with those thighs you speak of! :D Just get fit and strong, and make sure your clothes fit correctly. No one can see your size or your…

Hi! I just turned 40 in October, and have lost up to 38# using MFP and walking. I am a stress eater, and have gained a lot of it back this holiday, with family issues and starting a new RN program on Monday. BUT I am determined to take control and get back to my goal weight and STAY THERE while still living my (busy) life.…

PLEASE tell me you found a way to mix it all together in some sort of MONSTER soda-sundae kinda thing!!!?????

Thank you for sharing!! I can't WAIT to make some of these dishes! Your posts always make me hungry......happy to have recipes to fix that. :)

I am mainly cheese, if one truly is what one eats. All my nighttime "sleep bingeing" revolves around cheese. *sigh* I love to make grilled cheese sandwiches using sourdough bread, muenster, Havarti, and habanero cheddar cheeses. Add tomato slices and sautéed Vidalia onions. Before frying or grilling, I thinly spread the…

Best. Food. Porn. Ever. *respectful, reflective silence* Even pupusas aren't going to make those images go away any time soon. *sigh* Do you, um, FedEx leftovers to the US?

You look BEAUTIFUL, and the difference is really clear. Congrats, and thanks for sharing inspiration with the rest of us!

Trying to get my food diary straight for tomorrow, so that I can keep "effortlessly" losing until my hubby comes home from work in September/October. (Bored, lonely) Unable to sleep before 2am, and have 3 kids asleep that wouldn't appreciate waking up and finding me gone dancing.....so here I sit. Glad there are so many…
