Hello and welcome. I've heard the same things when I've talked about my weight and height. I too am 5'10 and I've heard people say the same things trying to be nice, "well your tall so you can carry more weight". Also those digs from good ole Mom. Although my advice regarding that would be you have to do it for yourself…

Oh yes, the pressure of looking good in a dress, I know it well. I hope sharing that day with your best friend makes you feel as beautiful as you deserve to feel. I think you'll like MFP its been helpful to me so far. Good luck on you journey.

The dreaded plateau.... time to do something to mix it up and trick you body back to burn mode. Good luck, don't give up your soooo close. :smile:

Welcome to the ride and here is to success for us al! Never give up!.

I've struggled with this thought myself but I think I was thinking about this like there is going to be and end. Like when this is over and I'm thin I wont have to worry about it anymore. The thing is, its not every going to be OVER. I have to think about it every day for the rest of my life. After have a big success in…

I know what you mean, it's funny we see ourselves everyday looking in the mirror but yet sometimes we don't really see ourselves. The same thing happened to me when I was reviewing a security camera footage and thought! Who is that?? ... Ugh.. its ME!...lol Congratulations in taking your first step. Feel free to add if…

I not only fell off the wagon, I rolled down a hill, and fell off a cliff. Climbing up from that fall has taken me a long time just to get ready to ride that wagon again. So I feel your pain. Feel free to add me, I'm a fellow crash and burner.

Hi, I'm new also, but so far so good :) Feel free to add me if you'd like.

You may not be losing lbs but you may be losing inches and since muscle weighs more than fat your scale might not be your best judge at the moment. Just hang in there your doing the right things and you will see the difference if you just keep going. Perhaps take some measurements and see if that's where your making your…

Motivation is the hardest part, Of course I wish just thinking about what I need to do would count for something... I'd be a size 4 by now..lol I think we all need that cheerleader telling us we can do it if we just keep going. It also would help if some dragged my but out of bed and prepared all my healthy meals for me…

Thanks for the support, I am really having a hard time with my motivation this time around. I was so on track before, I thought YES, I have figured this out and nothing is going to stop me! I was sooo, close to my goal and now I'm scared that I will fail again. I was going to CURVEs for exercise and they closed the only…

I have found that I was the most successful when I eat throughout the day. This seems to prevent going into starvation mode, plus it keeps your metabolism up so your burning throughout the day as well. I also found that I wasn't walking in the door grabbing the first thing I can grab quickly. So like breakfast lunch and…
