Wow! Well done everyone! I wish I could do this but my working day can span from 7:30am to 12:30am with my shifts being from 3-10 hours so having a cut off point for food would be so incredibly difficult (today I had my dinner at midnight) but I wish everyone luck. And if anyone has any pointers for someone with a worklife…

It sounds like the effects of stress. The cravings for chocolate is because your body is wanting a quick burst of energy because it's tiring itself out with the increase of adrenaline in your system. There's a whole lot of psychobiological factors that aren't really necessary to go into but to me, based on your symptoms, I…

I'm in the same boat as everyone else. 21 next month and wanting to lose a LOT of weight by my graduation in July. Not helped by my 8 skinny flatmates who go out to eat and drink every other night. I've found myself slipping recently so maybe having more friends on here will kick my *kitten* into gear! Feel free to add me…

Detox your house!! Throw everything bad out and don't think twice about it. Try shopping on days where you're not craving so that you don't have the urge to pick that stuff up. If it's not there then you won't eat it. Good luck :)

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm a student so food is very heavily budgeted and sometimes one bag of frozen chips is a lot cheaper than all the ingredients for a salad. But as for motivation, the only thing I can say is that is has to come from yourself. People who rely on others to get them motivated tend not to succeed,…

I have really bad social anxiety. I'm learning to live with it and deal with the situations that come up. I still haven't joined the gym though, I just wouldn't want anyone to stare at me as I work out on the machines and it's a university gym so there's a lot of immature people who would just stare at you and laugh at you…

I'm 5"8.5 Start weight: 275 Current weight: 249 And I want to get to 200 by my graduation in July! From there I'm gonna try and lose another 25 so I'll have lost a solid 100 lbs, and I'll finally have a healthy BMI :) I'm looking forward to it even though it is a long way to go!
-
I feel the exact same way! You're not alone trust me :) I just imagine how great I'm gonna look when I'm at my goal weight and how fantastic I'm going to feel. As the weight drops off people will start to notice and will start to congratulate you and when someone finally pops the 'Have you lost weight?' question you can…

I have completely vain reasons too. I want to be able to fit into THAT dress that I've been looking at for months but only goes up to a size 16.

this is awful I'm so sorry :( I was maid of honour for my sister but she let me pick the design because not everything looks good on a bigger person and the other 4 were skinny so they could pull off anything. Once we had the design she refused to buy the dresses from anywhere that didn't have my size. it really meant a…

When I reach the end of my ticker I'm going to get a tattoo! I'm waiting until then so that not only will my body look awesome but so will my tattoo. You wouldn't put beautiful art on a subpar canvas! :)

Wow. Well done on the twins! They must be a handful. But good luck on your goal! The good thing about this site is that everyone wants to see people succeed so thumbs up to you!

PRINGLES :(

I feel your pain!!! I went on a rollercoaster. At first I couldn't get the belt around e me and one of the workers had to help me. But THEN as it was climbing and was nearing the top ... THE BELT POPPED OPEN!! I managed to get it back together before the first fall but it was a very close call. I didn't let go of the bar…

No thanksgiving in England, thank goodness cause I've no idea how hard it will be to not over eat. But for Christmas I've decided that it's going to be a 3 day eating celebration. I'm going to only eat crappy christmas food on christmas eve, christmas day and boxing day. Instead of pigging out for the whole 2 weeks.

I always feel like having snacks at night! It's really frustrating. But since I live by myself my solution is to simply not buy it. If you don't buy it then you can't eat it. If I want to eat at night the only way I can is to make a full meal and since that's a lot of effort for a midnight snack I end up not eating…

Your daily limit of 1480 cals is what you need to eat in order to lose weight because MFP has already calculated the deficit. For example In order to stay at your weight you need to be eating the estimated daily amount which (last time I checked) was around 2000 calories. Which is enough for your body to 'work' throughout…

This happened to me once. It was fine the next day though. How long has it been doing it? If it's just today then I'd say leave it and come back tomorrow like I did but if it's been happening for a while then send them an e-mail or something so they can look into the problem. But while we're on the subject of problems then…

A lot of these responses require you to actually say or do something to them. If you're like me, and I have severe social anxiety and shy away from ever answering back to some one who insults me (it happens a lot), then this is what I would do. If it's a class or something, like a spin class for example, then get in the…

It sounds so easy to 'just say no' but it really really isn't! I'm a student and I live with 8 other people and I'm the only one who is overweight and as much as I try my hardest to exercise and eat healthy I'm constantly getting nagged to - get a takeaway, get a pizza delivery, go to the chinese buffet, go on a night out…
