11/24 183.1 This is 40lbs gained in the last year, after losing 100lbs. I have been depressed, and need to get back to it. 11/25 ** 11/26 180.1 I have really cut back on the mindless snacking. 11/27 180.2 Not really worried about that .01. lol 11/28 178.8 I've made a good effort to not eat a bunch of junk late at night.…

So, is our first weigh in the one that we already submitted? Or do we need to do another one by Dec 1st? My weigh in days are Mondays. So, that would put me past the Dec 1 deadline.

Is there a requirement to join?

I joined the group and posted my starting weight! I'm excited to start!

Username: Rawrbyn Starting weight: 181lbs Weigh in day: Monday I'm new and excited to get back on track!

Thank you for adding me to the spreadsheet! I go to Zumba 3-4 days a week for an hour, and I weight train 2 days a week. I'm toying with going to 3 days a week, starting next week. I'm excited to be this close to my goal weight. 43lbs is nothing! I can do this!

I'd love to join this challenge! I have 43lbs to lose until I'm at my goal weight! SW: 234 CW: 203 GW: 163

I would never eat too few calories. I know how that can affect you. Feeding my daughter is my priority. I know that I probably can't lose a ton of weight would I'm nursing. I'm just tired of gaining. I'm just trying to find a happy medium, I guess. Lol Thank you ladies! You actually helped out tremendously!

I've been eating just the 500 back and am seeing results. I was eating back ALL of my nursing calories before. That's where I went wrong!

Thanks for all of the advice! I finally found something on the subject that made sense. It takes 500 extra calories of food a day to make breastmilk. Any milk made over that 500 calories, comes from fat stores. Yesterday, I added 500 calories to my day, even though I made 600 calories worth of milk. I only ate 300 of those…

I'm 22 weeks, due May 15th. I lost 100lbs last year, but have gained 18. I started watching my calories again and have lost 4, so I'm at a net gain of 14. It is SO hard to pass up cravings! I'm just trying to make sure that they fit into my calories for the day!

I just don't understand how people like that can still keep getting jobs, yet people who have held jobs forever are having such a hard time finding work. Kind of makes me sick.

I am 22 weeks tomorrow. I fluctuate between +15 and +18lbs. I stopped working and moved around November 3rd. That's when I saw the +10lbs come on. I just started logging my food again today. I just wish it wasn't so cold so I could walk everyday! I'm really upset with myself for gaining. It's depressing when I see that…

I have been freaking out about weight gain. I gained 60 with my son, then kept gaining throughout the years. I gained about 30 with my daughter. I lost all of this weight last year and was so close to my goal weight! Now, I've gained 10lbs at 18weeks. Everything I've read has said that I should only gain 11-20lbs. It's…

When I was almost 300lbs, I would call myself fat all of the time. People around me would always say that I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I WAS fat, though. I look at pictures from back then, and think, "wow...I wish someone would have let me k ow how out of control I really was!"

Again....wasn't meant to be rude.

It's really sad to see the posts that say, "If you're hot, do it. If not, cover it up." Really? I think that if you are wearing clothing that is WAY too tight, and actually shows off your lady bits, then no, wear more. But to say that if you aren't toned, you should cover it up is just rude. You are at the gym to GET…

I was hoping she would see it before others did, so she could delete and change it. I was trying to help. Nice try on trolling me, though.

I would never listen to an MD about weight loss. They're pretty much idiots. Plus, eating healthy is objective. Okay....MD says to eat healthy...WHAT is healthy? I think that's where the debate lies. I have found that fasting once or twice a week for 24 hours helps me. I can eat 1800-2000 calories every other day, and I'm…

Are you weighing yourself after you wake up? If you are weighing yourself after workouts, or at different times of the day, then you won't get a consistent reading. Also, if you have recently bumped up your exercise routine, it could just be water weight. :)

Um....it's "half," not "have."

I was at 1240 calories and was always hungry.. I felt like I never ate enough, and was stressed about going over. I upped my activity level, and changed my goal to 1lb a week. Now, my calories are 1840! I started dropping weight again, and I feel so much better. It's not MFP, it's user error. :)

I am a 36F, and mine are nowhere near 25lbs. A 36DDD only weighs around 5lbs total. I'm 5'5", size 9 shoe. SW was 288+, CW is 198. I am getting comfortable now, so I think 160 will be just fine. I have wide hips, so I will never be under a size 12, probably. I'm okay with that!

Thank you all! You are so kind! :)

I know!! My daughter took a picture of me the other day, and I just KNEW it would look horrible. It didn't, though! I was surprised at how thin my arms are, now. I just wish I could get past the thought that I'm huge and hideous.

You DO have it in you, though!! It's not easy, but it's so worth it!!! What pushed me were the little milestones. When I hit 20lbs lost, I couldn't wait for 30lbs. When I went down a pants size, I couldn't wait for the next. (I went from size 26 to 16) When I was able to sit cross legged in a chair, I couldn't STOP doing…
