A little motivation for those who need it. Down 52 pounds and counting!
If you've already started your journey, don't stop. Quitting is the worst disservice you can do to yourself. If you're contemplating starting, find your reason why--better health, to feel good about yourself, look better, or just plain tired of being tired. A year and a half strong and 52 pounds lighter. I've many mistakes…

Losing the last 10 pounds
Hello ALL! So quick run down. I've been on my journey for about 2 years now. I've lost a total of 50 pounds going from 191 to 140. My nutrition has been on point at least 70-80 percent of the time and I workout 6 days a week for 30-45 minutes. I've built some muscle definition and lost a lot of inches. With that being…

How to determine goal weight?
Hi all! Quick run down. I've lost 48 pounds in a little over a year. I'm actually close to reaching my initial goal weight of 140 (I'm like 4 pounds away) but my stomach is still kind of big. I decided to change my goal weight to 130 (I'm 5'5). I'm at the lowest weight I've ever been in my adult life so finding it kind of…

Eating in deficiency no longer viable??
So I've been eating in deficiency for the last 8 months now. I have lost a total of 39 lbs. Started at 191 lbs and now I weigh 152 lbs.

Down 37 lbs in 230 days!
Hi all! I felt it was time to share my story. Little bit about me. I'm 5'5, 26 y/o female. I found myself gaining a massive amount of weight right around the end of 2013 due to a million crazy things happening all at once. Life hit me hard with the end of a relationship, job loss, no income, and my only car got totaled out…

DONT START TOMORROW WHEN YOU CAN START TODAY!!
DONT START TOMORROW WHEN YOU CAN START TODAY!! I know what it's like! I made excuses too! I was either too tired. I didn't have enough time or the exercises were too hard. I almost tipped the scale at 191 lbs! Today I am 155 lbs and these results were not achieved in the gym! Who has money for a gym membership? Certainly…

Starting to feel "unsatisfied" food wise
Hi all! So I've been logging accurately on MFP for over 6 months now. I exercise practically everyday. I own a food scale and I weigh everything. Fast forward to now and I am down 34 pounds and 6 inches in my waist. Just within the last month, I'm beginning to feel unsatisfied food wise. I eat all my calories for the day…

What's with daily weigh-ins?
I have noticed a lot of people doing daily weigh-ins. Does your weight really fluctuate that much in a 24 hour period?

When to recalculate calories IN?
How much weight do you need to lose before you start recalculating calories IN? I have heard that it's after every 10 pounds lost or after your current routine stops working.

seeking more active friends
Just as the title says. I have been very active on MFP for the last 60 days. Very few of my current friends are as active as I am and I'm at a point in my weight loss journey where I need more active friends to keep going. Feel free to add me :) Stats: 5'5 @ starting weight 189. Current weight 178.

disappointed in my .3 pound loss...
Been logging everything in MFP for exactly 6 weeks now and I have lost 6 pounds so far but this week, I only lost .3 pounds. So disappointed with that number. It's not even a pound. I feel like I may have cheated myself as I had been working out much more the weeks before but felt extremely sore for a few days (more like 2…
