SW: 159 CW (6-1-14): 141.5 GW for June: 136

My goals are 31 blue days and 22 green days. I'm new to the challenge and I hope I'll stick to my goals and make them!

Last week: 142.5 This week: 142 Height: 5'5" 17 pounds down from 159, my starting weight, and 17 pounds to go until my goal of 125. I can do this! We all can!

Name: Priyanka Age: 18 Starting Weight: 159 lbs Current Weight: 142.5 lbs Goal Weight: 125 lbs Height: 5'5" Reasons why you want to lose weight: I guess right now it's mostly for vanity's sake. I'm young enough that health issues aren't really of any concern, so it's all about how I look really. And setting myself up to…

Spices have really changed my opinion of veggies. They can make a WORLD of difference. Even a bit of salt. Or a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella is good too.

Only if you are really obese, and just starting out exercising and things. Then I could imagine you MIGHT lose enough water weight. I've heard of people who start at high weights and lose like 8 pounds the first couple of weeks because of water weight. Since I'm guessing that is not you, no. Living healthy is a LIFESTYLE,…

I'm interested! I don't know how well I'll do; I'm kind of addicted to chocolate and Pringles, but I'd like to try :)

I'm definitely a pear shape, so it was my waist/stomach area. I started at 159, and my waist didn't really go in at all then. By the time I reached 154, you could see my hourglass figure coming back. I sort of have two rolls of fat in my stomach area (sorry if that's gross haha). The bottom one is still a problem area at…

Putting down the rice container after only having about half a cup instead of letting it turn into a full-on binge. Also, taking a big handful of Cheerios when I wasn't even hungry, stopping, thinking about it for a couple of seconds, and then dropping them back into the box. I'm starting to move from the point where I can…

This is something I'm struggling with currently. I think moderation is important. You have to be able to have some foods that you like while losing weight or else you'll give up and go back to your old habits. However, something I've discovered is that there are just some foods I can't practice moderation with - at least…

February 1 Did I exercise? Yes Did I stay within calorie goal? Yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes Side note: I ate out at an Indian restaurant tonight and couldn't find the name of the dish anywhere in the MFP database. I googled it too and couldn't find it. So I found something that looked similar and…

I really like this! I always like groups with spreadsheets. It seems so much more organized than posts in a forum. I've added my name and everything to the spreadsheet :) let's all do great this month!

Thanks everyone!! I think I'm going to try pre-logging my day. I used to, and but took a break from logging altogether and when I came back to it I didn't keep on pre-logging. And yes, maybe I need to identify what foods I just can't have in moderation and avoid them overall.

Week One: 141.5 Week Two: Week Three: Week Four: Week Five: Week Six: Goal Weight: 135 My ultimate goal weight is 125, so if I achieve this I'll have only ten pounds to go! I'm sort of hoping to get lower than 135 by Valentine's Day, but in the past I've grossly overestimated how much I can realistically lose in a period…

@Carly - that's actually an amazing point. it'll take some time for me to get to that level of acceptance of myself, but you're right.

I'm 5'5". So yes, I'm in the "healthy" weight range for my height, by BMI standards. But I still could (and should) lose some weight. On some level, I know that what I see can't be what I really am, because I know that a size 8 isn't huge or and neither is my weight. But what I see is still revolting to me, especially when…

Thanks for the responses everyone. It really means a lot to me. Maybe seeing a professional is what I need, although that terrifies me. It's nice to know others understand what I'm feeling though, especially since I don't really have anybody close I feel like I can talk to in my "real life" (don't know how else to describe…

-Get to 130 (or lower) -Stay on track over the holiday season -Run a 5K in less than 35 minutes -Run a mile in under 10 minutes -Work out four days a week -Regularly incorporate some toning/strength training into workout routine -Fit into my "goal" dress in a size medium instead of large (I own both sizes, and now only the…

SW 12/1: 143 GW 3/1: 130

Date: 11-1-2013 Exercised?: Yes - I thought I wouldn't have time, but I sneaked in a quick walk during my lunchtime! Calories?: Yes- barely, but YES. Tracked?: Yes!

Ice...

Hi there! I've considered doing this before but always found it too daunting. November is going to be hard month for me, with lots of eating out because of foreign family visiting, and obviously Thanksgiving! But I want something difficult. And as shameful as it is, I don't think I've actually exercised for a month. Every…

Hi everyone! I'm Priyanka. I've been trying to lose weight since February. I started out really well but I've been on and off for months now. I want to get back up on the horse and stay there! I need to start making better decisions now and I hope this group will help me to do that effectively. I haven't weighed in yet but…

SUSHI!

I third this. I love knowing that if I make the right calculations and adjustments, I can have the foods I want. But it isn't for everyone. If you find it to be too consuming for you, I would recommend taking a SHORT break from logging and stepping on the scale. If you find you can stay consistent with healthy eating…

MFP works if you do.

I just got into really terrible habits. Family dinners as a child became associated with very bad memories for me (I was yelled at for eating too slowly, for getting up to get more food, or for accidentally finishing something that my dad wanted (this was when I was like 6 years old)). So as I got older, eating became a…

Like Katep219 said, confidence! I want to be proud of my body, and to be proud of who I am. I'm tired of being the fat girl in photos, or being the person who can't take the turn of sitting in the middle in the backseat because I'm too big. I want to feel beautiful; to stand out for the right reasons and not the wrong…

Bump?
