Feeling down
I should feel on top of the world now that I have hit a major milestone...Onederland...but instead I feel worse than ever before because I am realizing its never going to be enough. I am doing this for myself but I am human and sometimes I just wish I could make him see what other people see. He will never give me a chance…

Onederland!!!
I made it to Onederland and I just want to say that this proves that anyone can do it if you have perseverance, faith, and determination! Please don't give up if you feel like quitting, no matter how much you have to go. You can do it! I started out at 283lbs 6 years ago in high school, yo-yo dieted throughout college and…

Hunger Pangs at night
During the day I am fine, but at night its like attack of the ghrelin. I have been eating lunch at 12, a small snack at 5 and then dinner at 7 or 8. And maybe a piece of fruit, yogurt, or granola bar before bed with a bottle of water. I eat 1200-1400 cals on days I don't workout or at least try to and 1500-1800 cals on…

I feel like I am losing way too slow...
So I've been on MFP before but I have never been this consistent for this amount of time. I've been on for about a year and six months now and I wanted to know if losing 60lbs in 15 months is too slow. I would have lost more had I not been binge eating this year :( and going through the motions with stress and my…

When will the intuitive eating kick in?
I have been back on strong for about a year now. Had some slip ups along the way but for the most part, I have been consistent but I feel like I could not eat normally or proportionately without MFP or a food journal. Even though I know people log on here for many years, I want to be able to eat without having to log…

How do you cope...(female question)
...with boobs deflating? Like I was never big chested to start but I am gradually entering B-cup/A-cup territory. I know by the time I reach goal, I will probably be a small A-cup. What's more depressing is that I have way more stomach to lose and just this little chest. I don't have much of a butt either but I don't…

Any Revenge Weight Loss Success Stories?
While I am beyond the phase of losing weight solely for revenge, I am human and do think about it from time to time still. I just wonder sometimes what it would be like to see the people who once bullied me or rejected me at my goal weight. Does anyone have a success story where that happened and how did it make you feel?

I am so scared...
I have been reading up on some articles that say the likelihood of regaining weight is greater than keeping it off long term, especially for those who have always been overweight or obese. I can't imagine getting down to my goal weight only to regain most of it back. I think that would kill me. According to some sources,…

My family just doesn't understand...
I love my family and have missed them terribly since I have been away but one thing that drives me up the wall since I've been home is how they don't understand my weight loss journey and all it entails. I asked my grandmother did she put sugar in the sweet potatoes for dinner because I wanted to add that into MFP, and she…

I was happy as a fat kid...
Looking back at old pictures, I see a significant difference in my weight then and my weight now. Even though I am still far from the spitting image of health, I am much closer to being at my ideal weight than when I was a kid. But what's funny is that I was more happy then than I am as an adult. I never really paid much…

Tylenol PM sabotaging my weight loss efforts?
In July 2014, I decided to get back on the weight loss horse and lost over 30lbs by the end of December. But in January things slowly began to change as I developed a serious problem with bingeing and depression that seemed to get worse as time pressed on. I gained almost 10-15lbs back during the time of January to April.…

Why am I gaining weight in my stomach?
So on the scale I have dropped a whopping 8lbs in almost a month and though some of it is water weight, I have been steadily losing for the past year. July 1st, 2014: SW: 272lbs Now: CW: 220lbs But when I look in the mirror, I still have a huge protruding belly and it seems to be getting bigger or rather wider. I have…
