This past weekend, the family and I went to a buffet for an early dinner. I logged to the best of my ability, and wasn't a total glutton. After returning home, the baby went down for the night, and I sat on the couch. I realized I didn't just want to sit like a lump of lard, and told hubby I was going for a walk. I changed…

Which was better, the Left or the Right?

I'm 5'11", 36 years old, married with two kids. I'm 18lbs down so far, and still fitting the same pants. I just take solace in that they feel a little "roomier". ☺️

Every new day is a new chance to do better. A few weeks ago, I had a light breakfast (cracker snacks and nonfat low carb Greek yogurt.) The rest of that day, I was feeling hungry. I was munching at my desk after lunch (Mexican chicken salad bowl.) I couldn't understand it. Even after dinner (veggie burger) I was starving.…

I don't know you. I don't know your goals or your dreams. And I know this post is over three months old. However, at this time, in this moment...you are my hero.

Grabbed a salad for lunch.

Wow...I'm 5'11 and started at 302lbs. Your success is so motivating to me. Only 14lbs down so far, but your story is inspirational! Congrats!!!

Hello, I don't have any experience with anorexia...and I'm not a doctor. But I was wondering if your blood sugar/glycemic levels have been checked/monitored? Your symptoms sound a lot like hypoglycemia/low blood sugar. Wishing you the best & good luck!

Hi @FitGeekery! I think I stil[quote="geminiswede;32132855"Divergent series geek girl here, mainly gaming. Right now mostly focused on World of Warcraft and Bioware games (new Mass Effect news this summer at E3 please?). Also like Harry Potter, some Doctor Who, Marvel, Star Trek...and when it comes to listing things I tend…

Thank you for this! I've had rough time due to different emotional events/situations/losses that have occurred over the past few months. I recently got back to logging so that I don't completely undo the progress I've made so far. However, I find myself eating emotionally a lot. The kicker is, I'm usually fine at work,…

I signed up for MFP in mid-November (after a scary doctor's appointment.) However, I didn't start actively logging food & keeping track until mid-January. During the two month gap, I lost 13lbs. From there I lost 15lbs, 8lbs, 5lbs, and 5lbs each month. Looking at the rate I'm going for this month, I think I'll have another…

I can understand that. I usually buy the egg whites separately, since I mainly use them for scrambled eggs or omelettes. I love adding cheese, veggies, and chicken to them. I might buy a half dozen eggs for my baking needs, since that's the only time I really use the whole egg. But what happens to the unused egg yolks? I…

^Agreed. I currently weigh in weekly. If I reach a point where I plateau, I review my calories over the course of a week. If, over the past week, it looks like I was within my caloric range for there to be a loss, I re-calculate my TDEE/calorie goals for my current weight. From what I've seen of my progress, I have to…

Welp....I've lost an elephant's heart so far. Only have the elephant's penis + an average human brain to go! Yeah!!! LOL

I have been overweight since middle school. I gained the "freshman 15" and then some. When I was pregnant with my daughter, who turns 9 today, my weight reached a then-peak of 267lbs. I love my daughter more than anything, but I was unhappy during pregnancy & after I had her (single, low-paying job, became unemployed.)…

Fast weight loss often leads to failed maintenance long-term. Quite a few contestants on The Biggest Loser struggle with this. Don't try to lose that fast. Slow & steady wins the (long-term) race. When I first started with MFP last fall, I was 297lbs. So far I'm down to 274lbs (as of last weigh-in). Guess what happened…

I was randomly searching for info on egg whites vs. egg yolks when I came across this thread. I've recently started eating egg whites for breakfast. I've been having trouble with getting the proper amount of protein. I've been having scrambled egg whites with spinach & grilled chicken...I must say YUM! I get that the egg…

Shut the front door! They don't have English muffins in England??? Anyway, to make this post productive to the overall discussion, I LOVE Home Run Inn frozen pizzas. Since starting with MFP, I've just swapped out the Classic/Ultra Thick crust for Ultra Thin Crust. I just top it with PLENTY of spinach & voila! My pizza…

Hello MFPs! I'm a 33-year-old mother of one. I need to lose about 107lbs to get back to my high school weight (which would still be a little overweight, but would be a good place to tweak toning.) So far I am 23lbs down, and would love to make new friends that are in similar situations. Staying focused! *edit for grammar*

Not sure if this counts, but here goes... I had initially planned to have a couple slices of pizza (Home Run Inn Ultra Thin Crust Sausage) after my Zumba class last night. Turns out it was the instructor's b-day, so after class we had refreshments (fresh fruit, Chobani yogurt, juice, cinnamon loaf cake). After the…

First thing in the morning after using the bathroom. Although I usually weigh myself each morning, I only record it on Friday.

Couldn't agree more! I joined MFP a couple months ago, after a wake-up call at the doctor's office. As of my last weigh-in this morning, I'm down 23lbs! I know I've got a long ways to go, but I can't give up! MFP has given me the tools & info I need to succeed!

Hi Ashley! Our starting weight & height are about the same. I'm 5'11 and signed up with MFP in November 2013 at 297lbs. Although I've been trying to eat healthier since then, I've only been tracking my meals the past couple of weeks. So far I'm 20lbs down from my SW. I've set my goal for 190lbs, and I'll see how I feel…
