^^ Took the words right out of my mouth! I just bought a new water bottle and I found myself drinking a lot more water than I used to just because it's around me all the time. I do it without even thinking about it. :D

I loved this post! I was just sitting in bed feeling stressed to the max and wishing I had some chocolate cake and buttery popcorn and then thought to myself... I'm such a pig for thinking that! But I'm an emotional eater and this is a journey that is shared with thousands of others! You really helped keep my spirits up…

Not everyone in this thread are people who need to lose that much weight. I asked for the support of anyone, including people who are already fit and even people who need to gain weight. Being healthy is being healthy. :)

Hey girl! I also just getting back into the swing of things. I'm partaking in my last weight loss journey ever, but I have to lose 100 pounds ( I lost 50 over three years ago and then gained it all back :( ) I'm going to school for applied exercise science and nutrition this fall and have a lot of knowledge and experience…

Hi! I totally know what you are talking about! I lost about 50 pounds in about a year when I was 19 and then I gained it all back in 3 years because I was being careless. I currently weigh 272 pounds (I was 280 when I started 15 days ago), I am 6 ft tall and would like to weight 180! I have 100 pounds to lose and will not…

HI! I'm not a nursing student but I watched my mom go through nursing school in Clinton County NY and girl it IS HARD! Keep your chin up, before you know it you'll be a nurse and looking good and feeling great doing it! You can add me if you'd like, I'm super encouraging and am going to college for Applied Exercise Science…

Hi 13Marsha, I am right there with you, I started myfitnesspal when I was about 19 and I lost over 50 pounds and then in the past 3 years I gained all of it back! I would love to help you out and support you! My goal is to lose 100 pounds, I'm starting college for applied exercise science and nutrition in the fall (next…

Hey girl, I'm totally there with you. I lost over 50 pounds and then felt comfortable with my body and let myself go back into eating all the cookies in the oreo container in two days and eating at fast food restaurants almost everyday... one day I even ate at a place like McDonalds for lunch and then Moe's for Dinner.…

hey girl, I have a similar story as you. When I was 19 I weighed 280 and I lost over 50 pounds and then I gained it all back within 3 years. I was back to 280 and I was so discouraged when I stepped on the scale because I was upset that I let myself get there again after all the hard work I put in before. And then I…

My family is almost the same way. I was reading this thing that was talking about easy steps to help you lose weight and one of the tasks was to "throw out all the junk food in the house... your family will understand." And I was like... not mine! I think it would be totally rude to do that anyway, because we all share the…

On a skiing trip in the seventh grade - we went on the ski lift together and I just turned my head and he surprised me.

Feel free to add me; I'm supportive and encouraging. I was using the site for about 3 months and I figured I didn't need to count my cals anymore because I got the hang of it- but I was wrong; I still have about 60 lbs to go and I've hit a plateau as well. Counting Calories really helps move things along and since I…

I totally understand. I was really into losing weight but I'm kind of falling inbetween the cracks again. I can feel it. This is what I do when I get like this is think about the following: -Next year around this time I would have wished I didn't stop this journey. -I shouldn't have this diet on my mind 24/7, its just…

I totally did that too. During that holidays I ate a couple of chocolates but at dinner I was cautious and I still lost weight. If we deprive ourselves of these things while we watch our families and friends eat and enjoy their dessert, we will feel like we missed out.
