THAT is SO TRUE, I felt so bad when I finally came clean and logged it in last night, and my stomach was so messed up eating all that grease and fat after eating pretty clean for so long. Exercise is always the best answer, no amount of pizza can give you that endorphin rush, I need to remember that! Thank you so much for…

*tear...Thank you for reminding me, it IS progress, not perfection. And yes, when I feel depressed and emotional, I do NOT want to exercise, but once I get off my butt and get out there, the endorphins kick in and I feel so much better. When I over eat, I feel guilty during and afterwards, and always wind up with a tummy…

The WHY. My Why was never big enough, as you explained. My why was always superficial and sad, it was to look good for a boyfriend who hated me anyway, but used my weight gain as his best weapon. My why was to compete with my best friend because I was so jealous she kept going and lost the weight, my why was to feel good…

Not a newbie, been on this thing on and off since 2010, but never stayed consistent with the process...until NOW. Anyway, I am 27 and 234, so I hear you! I love helping other people stay on track and having others do the same for me!!

NOT AT ALL ALONE....I have a terrible habit of having no problem dropping 20 lbs or so, but the problem is, when I do, I get this mindset like 'Ok I did all this work, I can have a cheeseburger' which in moderation, that is fine, but then it turns into, EVERY day I am like 'I can have these cheetos, this chocolate cake,…

My fiance is over a foot taller than me and 100 or so pounds heavier. I love him regardless, I was crazy about him from the moment we met. I dont think it should ever matter. If its right, its right!

I am by far, no expert. But I have been told that processed sugar is awful for you. I have heard that the best sugar to consume is raw sugar. But still in high moderation. Sugar quickly turns to fat, causes your blood sugar levels to spike, gives you that 'crash' feeling, etc.

The best advice I can really give you is that you have to find it within yourself. I have been struggling with weight for all of my twenties, and about 3 years ago my best friend managed to lose 120 lbs by using MFP. I knew everyone in our circle looked at me like 'She did it, when will you?" and so I began counting…

I have had a million ups and downs because of will power. I never 'WANTED' it bad enough I think. Last summer I completely quit MFP for a long time. I ended up at my highest weight (263) and was downright miserable due to that and other life circumstances. This time has been very different for me. I think I finally WANT it…

Thanks everyone! Yea, I forgot I had it set to be viewed by only my friends. I think I will continue with the 1670 a day for now and I do like that MFP will gradually drop your calories per 10-15 lbs so I think thats the route to go. I am such an impatient person, and I need to learn more patience I guess lol

My daughter will be 3 this Christmas Eve and is a picky eater. If it was up to her, she would survive on Chicken Nuggets and French Fries. I would never allow that. I make sure she gets her veggies and fruits, and fresh, home made meals daily. Does she get Mcdonald's as a SPECIAL treat once in a great while?? Sure! Because…

I am blown away that there has been ANY negative responses to this blog! All this girl is trying to tell you is that you shouldnt feed your children fast food all the time as a regular part of their diet. Enough said.

I struggle with Hypo-Thyroid disease and have Bipolar Disorder. Some of my medications with my bipolar disorder are very widely associated with weight gain :( unfortunately I am not in a place to change them because other than the weight gain, their benefits outweigh the disadvantages. I struggle all the time with this, it…
