I am not a student, but work at a university, I see people of ALL ages and ALL fitness levels at my gym! They sell family memberships, so anyone is welcome! I understand your feeling intimidated but really, you should feel empowered to be there just as much as anyone. Pop in some headphones and your favorite jam and get to…

You said you're a college student, do you get free use of a gym at your college? Assuming you are an on-campus student and not online-learning. I was just thinking maybe you could take your gym bag to campus (leave it in your car), pack a little snack, and workout while you're on campus to eliminate a trip out. I work for…

Thank you! :) Around your weight loss (for me) I was fixing pillows before bed one night wearing my same old shorts & tank outfit that I wear to bed always and my husband said "you're shrinking" that was really nice to hear! So keep going, you are doing wonderful and should be very proud of yourself!

At about 25-30 lbs people started to notice. For me, the people I see everyday (my husband, my co-workers) didn't really notice as much. It was the people who I saw less frequently who said "dang girl your face really thinned out!!" or "your arms look smaller!" All of my clothing has just gotten to the point where it's too…

Okay I will play :) That's about a 30-32 lb difference, and I'm not done yet!

Commenting because I have the same question, except with an FT4. I have a friend who has a different model than my FT4, and I will get half the calories burned hers says while we are doing the same thing. We are the same age and about 6-7 lbs difference in weight.

Thanks to all the posters on this thread, I like reading different people's points of view and seeing the different ways to look at situations like this....Truly, thank you! I loved reading through all the comments and thought a few were extra funny. :)

YES exactly it was like I was a circus act! In our first meeting of the new academic year this person announced to everyone that I've really taken "a turn down the healthy road" and made some snide remark in front of everyone...so now I feel like I'm really on display with my foods. Irritating as heck.

I'm going away for a family reunion this weekend, let's hope I don't gain! hahah!! I'm usually pretty good about staying on track. Just hard when you don't know what will be served at the function.

I'm 4 lbs away from being under, and I guess this is the first time that I thought of it like that.....I don't EVER want to see a 2 as the first number in my weight again!!!

We are both at 27 lbs lost and close to our Onederlands!!! Why are we not already best friends?! LOL! :)

We eat a lot of wild game, too! Some is already entered in MFP you can type it in and see what pops up! Bison burgers are delicious. We're having venison at my house tonight! I'm glad to see another female cooking wild game and enjoying it. Nothing like knowing exactly where your food came from!

This is what my mom did for us, portioned out our plates with mostly veggies and then a little protein & starch, but heavy on the veggies. I noticed that I really gained weight when my mom wasn't cooking me those nutritious meals anymore, I took that for granted for sure!!! College was cheap pasta, lots of carbs, and too…

Homemade pizza with a thin crust (make it yourself with flour & yeast - super cheap and easy) and lots of good toppings...? I know you don't like many veggies but maybe you like a few that go good with pizza?

Awesome for you, I'm so happy for you! :) I think you are right about #2! I noticed that only people who I see rarely notice that I've lost any weight! Keep up the awesome work!!

I think this is normal...I didn't weigh myself for like 3 weeks at first just because I didn't want to get discourage so I can't speak for myself, but I think it's totally normal. Your body is probably like "what's going on!!!??" keep at it!!

Is it a pizza place you would order from and take food home to eat? Is it something you really like? If the answer to either of these is NO then don't eat it. I have 1 or 2 favorite pizza places in my city that I find worth it enough to make room for the food. Otherwise Domino's/Pizza Hut pizzas aren't my favorite and I'll…

I've only been married for just under 1 year and we bought a home 3 months ago. I believe I have time to have a child, if my husband and I wish to do that!

"have you talked to your dr about this?" and my personal favorite...from a close relative..."if you keep exercising like this, you'll miss your cycle and won't be able to get pregnant." Because a baby is exactly what I needed right now lol.

Delicious, micro-brew beer. The nuttier the flavor, the better.

I say the same thing! I just told my husband "we used to be THOSE people who drank diet soda with every meal!" I don't even have a taste for it anymore.

I used to drink diet mtn dew, every single day - I tried a sip of it a few weeks ago and it was TERRIBLE. Awful, gross, tasted like chemicals.

I've wondered this, too. I don't know if psychological help is the right thing - is she thinking you have an eating disorder or body image issue? Because I was wondering it too, and I've lost around 23 lbs (I've never lost this much before!) I consulted my doctor and made an appointment to just go over everything and make…

hahaha! an average housecat AND a bald eagle. Or the equivalent of how much pizza an american eats in a year. But I like the two animals better lol!)

My diary is open, and I'm always looking for new friends. I'm in my mid-20's, active, and relatively normal healthy eater. In my spare time I like watching inappropriately funny tv shows. Sooo...feel free to add me!

YUM! This all sounds so good!! Thank you for typing all that out!

You guys are all so awesome thank you for helping me "think outside the bun" of the traditional burgers/brats/hotdog ideas! We are camping at what is considered a rustic campground (no electric or running water) however we do have our coolers and our portable grill plus the campfire. I'm loving all the hobo/foil packet…

I'm going to let myself have a beer or two! I was thinking of chicken bratwurst or turkey burgers (or turkey franks). Those would all be fair game!

This^ ! My office mates indulge in treats and always bring enough for everyone. It took a LONG time....months....of saying "no thanks" to where I actually felt good about saying no to the junk. Instead of thinking of how much you want the pizza/beer/chips/fast food, think of a healthy meal you already have waiting for you.…

I started to say the same thing "oh, that's nice of you, but I'm gonna pass this time" or "thanks for the offer, if I need a snack I will remember to grab a piece this afternoon". Sometimes I say "oh dang, I brought all my foods with me today, I don't need the extra but thanks anyhow." Also, if there is going to be an…
