YAY!!! CONGRATS! Here at our base we have a virtual garage sale and I've been stocking up on my middle size pants (16s and 14s) whenever they pop up...but clearly this entire military base is a size 2 so they are like the base unicorns...hard to find. CONGRATS!

I'm IN! We aren't going to a ball or even the squadron holiday party (PCSing over the holidays yay) but I intend on "Rocking That Dress" When we celebrate our first anniversary together in November! My Husband is active duty Air Force and we're currently in the process of him finishing up his cross training to be a flight…

I had the same thing happen when i hit 22 lbs...i just took a weekend off and ate whatever I wanted (still tried to stay within reason but ya i had cookies so what!) then got back on the wagon again the following Monday. It got me out of that head space and then BOOM lost 3.6 lbs the next week! Just do what you need to do…

its very likely that its just clothing and water! don't stress about it just know youre losing and your scale at home is all that matters!

OH and i have introduced her to MFP but she wont use it....i personally think this is the best thing thats ever happened to weight loss!
-
Im not trying to not be supportive...Ive had her back the whole way and am so proud of her for what shes lost! I'm not comparing myself to her shes doing the comparing and shes upset. I worry she will go down an unhealthy crash diet path and want to help her see that what shes doing IS working and she just needs to eat…

I just know her and know shell quit on herself...she could do 15 lbs easy but 25?? with four birthday parties and her sisters wedding in the mix....i just dont want her to set her sights too high and not reach them then relapse like we've both done a million times before. I know she…

just keep doing it...keep up with your log...refuse to lie to yourself about what your putting in your body. those are the things i've done for myself. Be active on MFP as well. I feel guilty when I'm not on as often! Remember that thousands of people have done it so why the heck cant you! its not that hard if you just go…

My husband is active duty Air force and i feel the same way. I see the girls his friends bring around and im just like why did you marry me? but they do love us for us. I want to go to the gym with him but dont want to embarrass him in front of his friends/co-workers so i just dont go because what if i run into one of…

OH OH I ACTUALLY KNOW THIS ONE! I own(ed) a small pizza place and we had a cheeseless pizza...being in California we had to have our nutritional info available. an 8'' White out (cheeseless vegetarian) VS a Drag it through the garden (cheesey vegetarian) was about 350 cal difference. They had different veggies on them but…

I've got a significantly damaged knee at the moment (tears, fractures basically everything is screwed in there) and I've been doing leg lifts to strengthen my knees I can see/feel a HUGE difference. Doctor 3 weeks ago was convinced i needed surgery now he's on my age and says physical therapy should do. I do crunches, leg…

I would join a gym with classes because it gives you more options. Good luck keep up the good work!

Im in the same boat...well was a couple days ago. I did REALLY well yesterday and i go to hop on the scale this morning to see what damage I did over the past week and low and behold i'm down from where I was thursday at weigh in! Just get back on track and when you see that 5lb gain gone and it takes a friend or two with…

Diet juices or tonic water...NOTHING BLENDED....avoid mudslides (they can peak out at like 1400 cals EACH!! EEK!) light beer. A shot has about 65 cals in is (of anything but super sweet stuff like puckers, baileys, creamy alcohols in general) so if you do like a diet cran vodka you'll be around 120-150 cals depending. Wine…

Everyone is allowed to have days like this! Heck I had a whole weekend of that! it makes us stronger. just eat a healthy dinner and take today as a lesson. You dont want to feel this way again so do your best not to! If weight loss were easy wed all be super models...but its hard and we have lapses...take that and own it.…

I set myself challenges and to-do-lists. I'm very OCD lol. Like my August challenge was to go the whole month without going over cals for 30 days (one day splurge day but even then Im only allowed to go over 400 cals..never over more!) I have a daily to do list with my exercises on it and WILL NOT go to bed without…

Im netting 1220...sorry should have specified that haha. I've been measuring myself and theres little change in the last two weeks. like no change. I've gained 2 lbs this week alone (which im sure is just water weight or something and it wont stick.) Just overly frustrated. BUT NOT QUITTING! just want to know im doing the…

HA! Your cat looks like mine...only half the size and we put fatty fabio in tutus and girly clothes...to help limit the ego. He just hit morbidly obese (I think he needs MFP!) on our last visit to the vet and that was with a stomach issue...needless to say the little bugger is now on a diet (though he picks out the diet…

my hubs is military and his one big bit of advice if when hes doing his push ups and pull ups make sure hes doing them fully...all the way up all the way down...if they arent completely correct they dont count in his PT score.

I had my first malignant melanoma 10 yrs ago (when I was 14) and it was only stressful because the doc had to remove SO much (it had spread a significant amount and was he was almost unable to remove all of it due to its spreading) if the doctor had thought it was that bad you wouldn't have had a chance to say not today.…

I weigh in on Thursday mornings Pre-shower post bathroom. But whenever you weigh make sure its the same time every day...but mornings are the most truthful. i tend to weigh myself two or three times and average the weights if I dont feel they are right...normally it's "how did i lose that much?!" which is always a great…

Ahhh my favorite topic... Guinness is one of the best choices mainly because it's available nearly everywhere. AVOID Fat Tire! while I love a good amber like fat tire Ambers, DIPAs and Reds are ALWAYS a bad choice if your watching your calories. If you want a porter or stout Anchor is a good choice (160-170 per bottle) but…

Get it checked out...I had fractured my foot years ago and waited 5 weeks to go to the doctor...thought nothing was wrong...then the fracture turned into a full break and now i have constant foot pain from it. Check it out...worst case scenario it's nothing serious but then at least you know.
