Today in therapy I cried for the first time (been going for a year), which in itself is an NSV. Afterwards, when I was heading to the mall to go grocery shopping and kill time while I waited for rush hour traffic to die down, I thought about getting something nice and binge-worthy to eat, sort of like a twisted combination…

There's a great app called Cara that allows you to track your daily health and all the changes that might affect it - including bowel movements, what you eat/possible trigger foods, bloating, stomach pain, etc. It's really easy to use and might be helpful for tracking! I've got IBS, and used it before my official…

After losing 50lb three years ago and then stalling (though mostly keeping it off since then) I was beating myself up for not getting to my goal, for gaining a little bit here and there, for trying to get back into MFP but losing interest multiple times... I finally feel like it might be sticking this time. I've got a 33…

Thank you, you too!

I ordered a warm puffer jacket in a fitted style, and I happened to take it out to try on when my whole family was standing near me. When I held the jacket up, I thought it looked small. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to return it. Then my dad looked over and said "That looks a bit small doesn't it?" I didn't say…

I've logged everyday this week, and I've had every mug of tea with no sugar :smiley:

Hey everyone! I'm 24 and this ain't my first rodeo! Lost 50 pounds 3 years ago, mostly maintained, now looking to lose 20 more! I'm 5'11". I'd love some more friends!

I went to a music festival over the weekend, and forgot to put my Fitbit on before I got there. I realized at 8pm on the dance floor and ran back to my tent to get it. I still managed 12,000 steps before midnight! On Saturday, I did 30,000 steps. The best part about dancing and traipsing between the dance floor and our…

I'm 5'11 and would love more friends! :)

She's very charismatic, has been different sizes in the past, and posts fun workout videos and advice.

Chessie King on Instagram is lovely!

@TavistockToad lol I think maybe you misunderstood? I'm doing the same amount of cardio as my friends who are in the same class... that we've been doing for a year. Why do you bother posting sarcastic responses?

Girlfriend Collective - their clothing is made from recycled water bottles and fishing nets, AND they're beautiful and come in many colors! But most importantly, they're stretchy, compressive but not too much, high waisted, not see-through at all, and they're a great price compared to other, bigger brands. Oh, and they…

I saw the title of this thread and immediately wrote a list of all the foods I would eat if they didn't make me fat... then that made me sad so I rephrased it as just a list of my favorite foods! There are so many. SO MANY. I love food. Burritos, mac and cheese, Indian food with garlic naan, Thai food with rice, sushi,…

@jjpptt2 @SabAteNine Thank you for the responses! I think you're both onto something in regards to different strokes for different folks, and different people needing different kinds of support. I hadn't thought about it in relation to my boyfriend and I, but I definitely am the person who has to have a deadline and needs…

@TavistockToad I don't think I said it was anyone else's responsibility, I think I was mostly venting about the difference between living with a similarly-motivated friend who liked to share the healthy cooking duties with me and come to kickboxing with me, and a boyfriend who cares about his own weight gain enough to…

Dammit, I just checked and I actually weigh 165 now - guess I need to work extra hard now that I have 20lb to lose :(

I'm 23! I lost 50lb 4 years ago, and then another 10lb 2 years ago, and now I really wanna lose the final 10-20 (it fluctuates and I'm starting to get scared of stepping on the scale again ahhh). I'm 5'11, I weigh about 155-60 now, and my goal is 145. Feel free to add me, anyone!

I'm 5'11 23 years old SW: 214 CW: 152 GW: 130 I have a large frame! Mostly putting this here to save this thread for later :)

Hello! Anyone similar? Age: 22 Height: 5'11" HW: 214 CW: 167 GW: 155 (maybe? never been that low, maybe I'll want to go lower when I get there!) Feel free to add me!

Is it weird if I bump this thread now? I'm 22, 5'11, and currently weigh 167 - this is the lowest I've weighed since puberty, so I'm not really sure what my goal weight should be. Right now it's 155. Would love some more tall friends!

Last night when I came home at 3AM drunk, I "binged" on cucumber, baby carrots, rice cakes and dates haha. A little while ago I would have eaten every calorie dense thing I could find, and then fallen asleep feeling guilty. :smile:

Oh, there are definitely some red wine and gin and tonic calories floating around Thursday through Saturday, but I don't count those ;)

MFP gives me 1,530 to lose a pound a week, which I think it'll be hard for me to reach, at least right now. I will make an effort to reach 1,300 though, even if just with two tablespoons of peanut butter at the end of the day haha. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the responses! In the past when I've lost weight (I lost about 40 pounds in 2014, then gained back 10) something has sort of clicked and I find it hard to deviate from the routine. I've always had a somewhat obsessive relationship with food, mostly secretive binging, and so when I'm losing weight, it becomes the…

I also started Wellbutrin three weeks ago! I'm on it for depression. I started at 75mg, and noticed a a bit more energy. In terms of weight, I had just got back on the wagon a week before starting, and since then I've lost about 10 pounds. I've also started drinking a huge amount of water, though, and taking all my…

Really good added to oatmeal, or stirred into Fage yogurt (which is so thick and filling, and really low calorie for how much you can eat).

While eating out with my parents last night, my dad, who is known for being endearingly oblivious to most things, looked at my mom and said "Doesn't she look great?" (about me) "Just look at her!" And then made my mom take a photo of us. It was very sweet.

I live abroad, and I only come home twice a year. I'm home now, and one of my friends said "Every time you come back you're thinner! How do you do it?" I laughed and made some joke, but I love knowing people notice. My dad also commented on how small and delicate my nose is, and my mom commented on my cheekbones. My face…

I'm 20 with about 20 more pounds to lose. I'm active on MFP, so feel free to add me!
