Welcome to MFP! We're a friendly bunch around here :drinker:

"Recovering WoW Addict" here, lol. After 6 years of easily playing 40-60 hours a week (on top of working full time), it just stopped being fun. I won't say WoW contributed to my current state, but it did me no favors either. I still have it installed on my computer, so there is always the reality of going back (because I…

In the long run, I wouldn't be jealous. Weight loss supplements and such isn't teaching you anything about properly fueling your body.

I've been at this month, and I've been up and down a bit, too. I literally lost 12 in my 1st week, gained back 4 my 2nd week, lost 7 my 3rd week, then have lost 4 over weeks 4 and 5. I can almost guarentee that the 1st 15 lbs was almost entirely water weight. Don't let the scale be your deciding factor of success; focus a…

^^^ Agreed, no...

Bring back cartoons from the 80's!!!

Between my normal activity at work and a half hour of combined dancing and walking, I had a MASSIVE deficit. I indulged way more than I should have, but I was STILL UNDER 1000 Net calories. So, I might have got jostled on the wagon train, but didn't fall off.

Yogurt

Started at 24, down to 22 in a month :) and still dropping! It's very possible!

I've always heard: The more water you drink, the less you retain.

Eat more dairy in general. Add nuts/seeds to your salad (I am a fan of sunflower seeds, mostly cos I was raised in a tree-nut free environment because of family member's food allergy, so the taste and smell of peanut butter/nuts is one of the things that kill my appetite quicker than anything). This is my estimated day in…

pasta or rice? PASTA!!! waffle or french toast? Pancakes or regular toast mashed potato or french fries? Roasted potatoes strawberries or cherries? Strawberries snickers or twix? Twix... or better yet, 100 Grand apple or banana? Apple coffee or tea? Green tea asparagus or spinach? Spinach peanut butter or caramel? Caramel

29 here looking to lose 100-130 lbs. Down 17, so that is a start!

5'7", 268 (down from 285), currently wearing snug 22's and very baggy 24's. Looking to get back down to 150-185... I dunno what that equates to sizewise... In my youngers years, it was 16/18... *shrug*

Kinda like everything is a hunter weapon... specifically staves with intellect and spirit?

Single here, too. And I am perfectly happy with it! However, I some how I get sucked into friends' relationship woes... Yeah, I am THAT single friend who gives the best relationship advice, lol.

Going off movies that are playing on Family Channel, anime, Disney movies and whatever else hits me... Raising Bacon Bacon Princess The Bacon and the Frog Bacon Story 1, 2 and 3 Baconed (Opposed to Tangled) Baconrella Spirited Bacon Lady and the Bacon 16 Bacons The Bacon Club Bacon Girl BACON-E Nausicca of the Valley of…

All of you are such an inspiration! It makes me feel like what I am doing IS attainable! I can only hope that my results are as AMAZING! I down 15, and not seeing a lot of difference in my appearance yet. Was feeling kinda discouraged!

I'm with you on including house cleaning on your exercise log. I am terribad about cleaning house; I work FT and work the occassional weekend, so all I REALLY want to do when I get home is fix dinner, get the dishes done and veg out the rest of the night! This past week/weekend, I logged probably between 3-4 hours of…

It was a number of things for me... One being the co-worker who was pregnant (and pretty thin) saying "Heather, I'm almost as big as you now." Another being I told myself that if I ever did hit 300 lbs, I would make a change... I had held solid at 285 for like 7 years, and never had any reason to lose weight other than…

First and foremost, I will try to maintain my weight. I have no desire to get back to where I am now... After that, go out and buy clothes that I wish I could have been wearing for the last 10+ years and hit up the lingerie stores/departments for items that AREN'T solid colors and full-coverage. Lastly, get a tattoo…

December 30, 1983... Hiyas! :happy:

I love sparkling seltzer water; all the fizz of pop, none of the empty calories. And before you say "Eww, seltzer water!!!" IT'S JUST FIZZY WATER! Not to be confused with tonic water, which IS eww! Coffee and tea can also count towards your water, just keep the caffiene to a minimum. There are also the individual drink…

You pretty much just have to let it roll off you like water on a duck's back. People are gonna pick; it's just how they are. In my case, I don't advertise loudly I am trying to lose weight; I tell my few good friends, but that is it. People see that instead of having oreos for morning break, I am having a container of…

I want to lose 100-130, but I am 29. Still, feel free to add me...

I'm having a bit of a rough time, but it's also a case of "If I don't buy it, I won't be tempted to drink it." But, like everyone says, everything in moderation. I like my wine still, just have to limit myself to ONE glass... but also have to have it finished within a couple days. Darn oxidation...

It's patience, a lifestyle change and a desire to really want it. Before deciding that I REALLY wanted to change this was my life daily: 2-3 bottles of beer/alcoholic beverages a night, a venti Starbucks everyday, tubs of ice cream, bags of chips, fatty cuts of meat, no portion control, not much fruits or veggies, very…

I'm somewhere in between 5'7" and 5'8" (depends on how downtrodden of a day I have in the lab). I am currently aiming for 185 (my pre-college weight). Ultimately, I want to get back down to 150 (high school weight)... But, as with many people, I will have to play it by ear. I have a large frame, so anything smaller than…

Welcome to the community! I've only been on here a week, and everyone has been super supportive. So, I speak for the masses when I say: "We're glad you came!" :smile:
