My boss just pulled me in her office to talk about my toots.
Stupid high-fiber, high-protein diet.

One year of MyFitnessPal complete: 117 lbs lost, size 22 to size 8-10, 44" waist to 30" waist
Hey y'all, just want to celebrate my first year here at MyFitnessPal. Last year, after a lifetime of being fat, at a beefy 275 lbs I decided to lose weight in honor of my father, who had just recently passed away. I had always been too scared of failure to even try, but after seeing some great results from several friends…

Another goal down!!
In the state of Colorado there's a program called http://www.weighandwin.com where you can be paid money for losing weight. I signed up about 4 months after I started my weight loss journey after I'd already lost nearly 50lbs. The main goal of the program is to lose 30% of your weight (or to a healthy BMI) within 1 year.…

Super happy scale victory this morning
Guys, guys -- I'm so happy! Some backstory: this is my first time even trying to diet. I was always too scared, too sure I'd fail to even try. I was chubby as a kid and just spent my life getting fatter and fatter until last year when I joined MFP. This morning I weighed in at 158.5 lbs. This number is important to me…

My little froggy is in sunshine and rainbows!
MFP is a sneak and rounds up, I haven't quite lost 100 lbs yet. Hopefully I can make that post in the next day or two. But I'm really excited to see my little froggy out of the dark, stormy clouds and into the land of sunshine and rainbows. I remember when I reset my goal from 95lbs lost to 125lbs lost, I had just passed…

I hit my goal!!! *Kinda ;)
Well, not quite. Today I hit the goal I first set for myself when I joined MFP. I looked back on my life and 180 seemed like a really healthy time. I mean, I was always big, surely BMI was irrelevant and really anything lower than my high school weight was impossible. I've since realized that's likely a load of kittens and…

Half way there, but still feels like a huge success
As of the past week or so I'm half way to my goal weight. Not the goal weight that I initially put into MFP, but half way to the weight I "should" be based on my height (150lbs). If I got down to 150, that would be less than I weighed when I started high school. When I started this process I thought such a number was…

Iron supplements = 100s of calories??
I was considering going above and beyond and logging the supplements I take, one of which is iron. I even found the exact pill I take, Nature's Way Iron 18mg -- listed at 110 calories??! All the iron supplements I've found seem to be really high calorie:…

Help with bicycling goals?
Hi guys, I've recently been trying to get back into biking (something I did and loved as a kid/tween, am now 34) and I realize I've been really bad about trying to make goals. I'm hoping some more experience can help me make more realistic goals -- namely, I'm in an 8 week challenge and I want to have some idea of what I…

Super tasty orange chicken that's to die for, but won't kill you. Only 335 calories & $2.50/serving
I love me some sweet and spicy orange chicken, but unfortunately it's often about as healthy as eating a piece of cake. Maybe worse. I've cobbled together a recipe that has quickly become one of my favorites, working its way into my meals almost weekly now. It satiates any cravings I get for orange chicken, but in a low…

Another opportunity to befriend someone awesome: me!
Howdy folks! I'm Rachel, I'm 34 and I hail from the mean streets of Denver (where everyone's too stoned to actually be mean). I don't have any kids, kids are challenging and up until I started this weight loss thing I tended to avoid challenging things. I have a cat, she's not challenging at all, although sometimes I…
