Hi I'm just over 5 feet and have always struggled with my weight. I've used MFP in the past and it's a great support system! I was laid off from my job last November so I have a lot of free time and I LOVE to bake! Between the holidays and my love for food I've regained some of the weight I have worked so hard to shed :(…

OMG! I feel the same way! Sounds like we are in the same boat. I am 5'1" also, I'm currently at 140 but my goal is 135. I just finished the 30 DS and lost 4 inches but the scale remains the same. My clothes are feeling bigger but I'm not seeing the results in the mirror. I have gone through this before when I lost weight.…

Congrats!! I also love this site, it is very helpful! I'm doing Jillian Micheals 30 day shred, currently on level 3. I haven't lost a pound in months but am done 4.5 inches so far and I feel great :) I just wish those #'s on the scale would change.....

Agreed! I just tried a fiber one bar for the first time the other day and they are filling! And pound that water!!!!

Congrats!! Your story is truely an inspiration!! Thank you for sharing :flowerforyou:

Awesome!! Congrats :happy:

Welcome :) Add me if you'd like!

Great NSV!! Congrats :)

This is certainly a great place to get the support you need! Logging my food everyday has helped me to think twice about what I eat and made me realize how many calories are in all the foods I eat. Feel free to add me and good luck!!

I sooo agree!!

I agree! Drink.....drink......drink! You NEED to drink your water!! Don't give up! You will see results soon :happy:

Hi......welcome to MFP :happy:

I agree with others.....you look like a different person! Awesome job taking control over your health issues and doing something to better yourself!! You are an inspiration!!!!! Great work :)

You look great!!! Amazing will power.......I'm a scale junkie too along with everyone else! lol Keep up the great work!

Thanks for posting this topic! I am amazed at how everyones pant size varies!! I am 5 ft 3/4 inch, weigh 141 lbs at the moment and wear a size 8.

I weigh myself almost every morning but official weigh in on wed.

So true! We are all here for support and everyone is great!!

Welcome to MFP! I too have struggled with weight most of my life........add me if you'd like :)

As you said everyone is different and I've found watching my carbs along with my calorie intake helps me to drop the weight. My absolute favorite thing right now is hummus and tabouli in a low carb wrap! It is very filling and full of flavor!! I also make sure I eat every few hours so I don't get too hungry. It's all about…

That's awesome! What an amazing feeling!!

AMAZING!!!! You're doing great :)

add me....the support on here is amazing :)

I agree you can't weigh yourself mid day EVER!! I used to weigh myself every morning and even that drove me crazy.....now I rty to limit myself to a couple times a week. My scale hasn't moved since I started MFP but......I keep at it hoping it will change! Keep your chin up and don't give up, you have lots of support…

I only have 20 lbs to lose and can't seem to drop any weight right now so support definitely helps!!

We all need help....that's why we are on here....the more support the better :)

I love all the support on here!

I eat activia light yogurt and fruit a lot for breakfast or a snack and yes there is sugar but better for you than sweets!

I feel that anyone that loves you or is your friend would support you in your journey to gettting healthy and feeling good! As long as you are doing it in a healthy way then set your goal and go for it :)

What a great feeling!! Last summer I too went through my closet and drawers......I kept a few of my "fat clothes"....I try them on every once and a while just to remind myself of what I don't want to go back too. I'm still struggling to shed the last 10-15 lbs but it sure feels good to go shopping these days :) keep up the…
