So far I've lost a cinder block and I'm going to throw a party the day I lose an elephant's penis, just because it's funny. And, you know, because it's a pretty decent accomplishment in its own right.

MFP has a pretty extensive food database that includes a lot of foreign foods. I live in Morocco and I can usually find at least one entry for most of the foods I see here. Sometimes I have trouble finding specific brands, but if I'm just looking for a generic example of a type of food, I'm fine. Most hostels and hotels…

THIS. After a binge, I'm usually feeling discouraged and defeated and it's easy to fall into the mindset of today is blown, so I might as well go drown my sorrow in butter and cheese and start anew tomorrow or next week, but it's not always that bad. Say in a moment of weakness I eat an entire bag of chips or an entire…

Last time I flew, I also had to suck in my gut to fasten the seatbelt and my hip kept pushing the armrest up. The guy sitting next to me made huffy, annoyed noises the entire flight, and it wasn't a short flight. I'm flying again in August and I'm determined that this time, I'm going to fit comfortable in the seat and be…

If I'm hungry, I will always eat something, especially before I go to sleep and not eat for another eight hours.) I think mostly it's a boredom thing. During the day, I'm busy with work and not really thinking about food/around food,…

Hi, I'm 29 and have almost 100 pounds to lose. I'm not in North America, at least not for another six months, but I would love a support group. I feel like I don't really have anyone who can sympathize/empathize with my weight loss journey in my real life, and I'm too self-conscious to talk about it to my normal sized…

This is great advice. I have a pair of pants a size down from what I currently wear waiting in the closet. I probably need to lose another ten pounds to fit into them, but focusing on that ten pound loss is infinitely easier than focusing on the 110 pound loss I want to make. Set lots of mini-goals. Success breads more…

Yep, still drinking Coke. I'd like to eventually phase it out of my diet (or just drink it when I'm out at restaurants), but I've just stopped eating about 90% of the processed crap in my diet and if having a soda once a day makes that easier, then I'm going to do it and not feel guilty about it.

Hi! I'm 26 and since I started this diet on Sunday, I think my June goal might just be to still be dieting at the end of the month. I have a long history of giving up on a diet around day four. Also, I'm tentatively planning on running my first 5K on July 4th, so I'd like to start running at least three times a week.
