I'm 31 yo, 5'7 and was 172, now I'm 159 since starting in January. I aim for 1200 cal but I average 1300-1400 daily sometimes. I am mostly sedentary but I've been going for walks. Slow going but maybe when the weather warms up I'll get outside more to exercise.

I'm 5'7 was 172, now 159. I aim for 1200 but I average 1300-1400. I am mostly sedentary but I have been trying to go walking more often.

I am also a brave open-diary person lol, feel free to add me. Goal is 1200 but I average 1300 to 1400 sometimes so even my bad days are viewable. Was 172 now I'm 159, slow progress but it's going down :)

I am also looking for friends, nobody I know uses MFP. I keep a public food diary for people to stalk lol

Navy 2006-2010 after leaving the service lack of exercise and depression really hit me hard! I've been struggling with weight for awhile. I used to be 125 to 135 back in those days. Got myself up to 172 and so far managed to lose 13 by diet and walking. This app has been really helpful in keeping me on track so far. I keep…

Welcome back! Its definitely hard doing it alone, I am in this situation. My significant other eats whatever he wants which makes it challenging. I'm not a chatty Cathy but I leave my food diary public for viewing, which may give you ideas here and there, so add me if you like and Good luck!

Great point! As I am also dealing with rain today. Such crappy weather. I'd take snow over rain.

3 years. It is my motivation, what I want to look like again.

I agree with the above. Take measurements. This may help distinguish between muscle and fat. Make sure you switch it up with muscle confusion techniques. Never stop watching what ya eat. Its easy to become complacent after progress has been made. Btw I think ya look great! So don't give up. Maybe ya just hit a plateau,…

Thanks I never thought of starting against the wind that might help. I guess the only way to do it is layer and peel off. Wish it were spring already!

Same problem here. Can't stop thinking about when I get to eat again. Also hungry all the time, serious cravings. Anyway to distract oneself? Stop cravings?

Probably a silly question I warm up after awhile but what about getting cold because of sweat? I run, get hot, end up freezing when I get too tired to continue or start going back home. Any ideas? I would like to run in during the winter and too poor for a gym membership.

Just don't take any of the pills before eating it. Your body does need healthy fats to maintain itself. I tried alli for awhile but I quit because it is easier to just avoid the junk foods.

ahahaha! so true! French fries and alli mean you will not be leaving the restroom any time soon! Lesson Learned: No fatty junk food

I know how the meds are. I have gone from 140 to 167 on Paxil. I am switching to the generic of Wellbutrin as it is supposed to be weight neutral. I have heard people actually lost weight on it. Always take care of your mental health first

The leakage is true if you eat a lot of fatty greasy food. It's like pooping oil or grease with your normal stool. Also can cause diarrhea/speed up bowl movement if you are not careful. So bottom line it blocks some of the fat absorption, but it also makes you want to avoid fatty foods because of the consequences. It works…

I understand how it feels to be broken, down and out, but things can get better. Just have to make yourself do it! Even if you don't feel like it or don't want to get out of bed. Working out releases the endorphins and will help ya feel better as you reach your weight loss goal. I've been off the wagon a few times but not…

Up to the challenge! I am new here and also lookin for motivation, and some1 to yell at me lol

I am 5"7 , 26 years old, 167 lbs, female. I am also looking to get down to 135-140 lbs. Feel free to add me! :smile:

NO! DON'T DO IT! DON'T YA EVEN DARE! If I can't have that chocolate, you can't! lol

I'm new here so I need to start makin friends! :D

Totally agree! The 20s are a time to be rockin it and enjoying life! We shouldn't be wasting time feeling bad about our self image, we are young and we can nip it in the bud!

Oh and just wanted to add that if anybody is looking for a workout buddy or fellow runner, bicyclist I am up for the challenge. So PM me if you are in the Little Rock AR area. Not looking for a hookup, just some1 serious about working out and getting in shape. I find that I am more motivated when somebody is working out…

26!

I was on paxil for major depression disorder and went from 140 to 167 lbs. I am starting to wean off of paxil while starting Wellbutrin sa. I have gone up 2 pants sizes :( Alot of my clothes no longer fit. I will report back later to this thread if I have any luck losing weight on Wellbutrin. Just hopefully I can make it…
