Patience is a Virtue.
I've been doing good. I'm staying on track mostly, and I've lost 24.3lbs since Jan 2nd. I've gone from 265 down to 240.7, and I'm actually really excited about it. I have only seen a little bit of difference physically, but I'm not too upset because I know it'll happen as long as I keep going. I've lost an average of…

Parlor Pizza.
My fiance works at a family owned pizza parlor. I really like the pizza from there, but I never know what to count it as calorie wise. Usually we just get thin crust with cheese and sausage. The place he works for cuts it in squares, not triangles (pie cut, I guess that's called?) so I don't know which entry to use. Lately…

Not exactly new, but Hi anyway!
I've been using My Fitness Pal daily for a couple months now (since Jan 2nd). My starting weight was 265lbs, and my current weight is 249.3lbs as of this morning. I'm 26 years old, and 5'4'' and I'm looking for some friends who are kinda where I'm at now. I am trying this whole thing where I try very hard not to feel…

This Article
elitedaily.com/life/get-fit-44-small-changes-impact-health-big-ways/916455/ at least three of my friends posted this article on facebook, and I had to try very hard not to tell them that most of these 44 small changes are absolute garbage. I especially like the part where it tells people not to use fad diets, and then…

Is it time for new scale?
I have a weight watchers brand scale that's about 2 years old. I'm starting to question it's accuracy for a number of reasons: 1. I weighed myself yesterday before bed, and it said 255.5 2. I weighed myself this morning, after using the restroom, and it STILL said 255.5 I'll also notice that sometimes the scale will say…

Health Insurance Frustration
I'm a little frustrated at something my company is doing. I understand that it's for the benefit of the employees, but it makes me a little upset because I feel like it's being pushed on us. Every year we have what they call a wellness screening. They take our blood, and they weigh us and take a waist measurement. Usually…

Testing My Self Control.
This is a partial complaint, so I'm going to apologize for if this sounds whiny in advance. I love trail mix. I bought a big bucket of it. When I wasn't trying at all, the whole thing would have been gone in probably about 2 days. A serving of trail mix is 180 calories for 1/4 cup. I measured out a cup and I just about…

Just a little NSV for me...
Right after Christmas, I went shopping with my friend Katie and we checked out Torrid. I bought 4 shirts, 2 t-shirt style ones and 2 dressy ones without trying them on. When I got home I tried them on and the t-shirts didn't fit because I guess they run a bit small. Since January 2nd I've lost 12 pounds, and I tried one of…

What do you think?
I posted a similar thread in Chit chat, but I am genuinely curious: What do you think of McDonald's "Pay with lovin" thing they have going on. Basically at random they choose people for a chance to pay for their food with an action instead of money. Either it's a fist bump, dance, or they could ask the person to hug…

McDonald's Pay with Lovin'
McDonald's has this new thing where if you're randomly chosen, you can opt to "pay" for your food by doing a random act of "lovin" which is up to the cashier. It could be a fist bump, a dance, or it could be giving someone in line with you (like, from your own party) a hug/kiss. The idea behind this is that there's too…

I think it's too early for a plateau.
In order to stay the same weight, I have to eat 2,370 calories according to MFP. I have it set to lose 1.5lbs per week, so it gives me 1,620 calories a day. Now, I don't always stick to 1,620 but since I've started the most calories I've eaten in any day was 2076. I try to overestimate what I'm eating, but I think I'm…

Mindset is Probably 90%
They say when it comes to weight loss that diet is 80% and activity is 20%. What a lot of places don't take into account is a person's mind, and considering most overweight people have body issues, this seems like a huge wtf situation to me. I have a belief that if a person's mind isn't ready, they won't have lasting…

Steamed Meats.
I have a question. I have recently discovered that I can steam meat in my rice cooker. So since this is my new favorite thing, I've been eating a lot of steamed boneless skinless chicken breasts. I also just bought a digital scale. I found an entry on MFP for steamed boneless skinless chicken breasts, but I am unsure if I…

Not weight related but I really need to vent.
As I was driving to my parents home from work today, I got rear-ended. I had noticed this lady behind me when I was at a stop light previously and she was looking around in her car and reaching into the back while on the phone. While at the light she was looking backwards and her car started inching forward. I kinda…

Size Issues.
I've lost and gained a lot of weight multiples times. I consider myself the queen of the yo-yos. I've always heard about people saying "You'll stay motivated by how your clothes feel." This is my problem: When I weighed 253lbs before my last WW jaunt (I'm so done with WW btw) I wore a size 3X top and a size 22 jeans. I…
