My mom is confusing me....
So when I came home from my shopping day today, I excitedly told my mom that I am down 33 lbs as of yesterady. She congratulated me and told me to keep it up. I thanked her and started to walk into my room when she was like "you know....for someone your height, you're supposed to be about 130 lbs" She said it all seriously…

Yes, I had a fat day and It felt great
I had my first "fat" day in 2 months. I think I deserved it, no? Let's see. My job is stressful, I take care of mentally handicapped adults with lots of behaviors, lots of verbal and physical agressions, a lot OCD behaviors...On top of that, I am attempting to study (procrastinating now) for my test on…

Birth control...
Hi guys. I am really thinking about going back on the pill. I have been on the Nuva Ring and Ortho-tri-cyclin in the past but don't recall if it ever effected my weight much. Has anyone ever had a lot of weight gain with the pill? I want the shot, but my Dr. said that it is the worst one for weight gain. If any of you…

A funny thought! Sex warning! Dont read if you're sensitive
I had a funny thought the other day when I was driving to my "special friend's" apartment. I was pondering how many calories I am actually burning during one of our "intense workouts". I mean, we get all sweated up, hearts racing, out of breath...And he's in shape so that says something ;-) HAHA. But anyway, As I was…

I never thought I would lose 30 lbs! The picture on the left was me on July 4th weekend 2011...The teal hoodie that I'm wearing is not that tight anymore, I don't even know how I wore that, hoodies aren't supposed to be that tight! lol...And the basketball shorts I am wearing, fall off of me when I walk...I, for the first…

Weight loss rewards?
I need some ideas! I don't really want anything like getting my nails done (I bite my nails anyway) or my hair done, a massage or spa day...nothing like that. I feel like I wouldn't want to waste my hard earned money on anything like that. Nothing terribly expensive either. Yeah, I kinda made it THAT much harder! haha.…

Weird, but great NSV....
So, last night....I was trying on some clothes and what not, kind of seeing how they fit. I decided to try on some of my sexy platform pumps....and guess what? They fit SOOOOO much better than they used to. Before my weightsexy loss, My feet were like litterally stuffed inside my shoesand they looked like fat sausages in…

Losing weight but not inches?
Hello all :) I have lost 23 lbs so far...That's great and all but I haven't lost any inches! I mean, yes my pants fit a lot better now but when I measure myself, it's all still the same. What is going on here? Anyone have any good references for measuring? Maybe I am doing it wrong?

George Foreman grills?
Hi, this may seem silly but, I just made a delicious turkey burger on my GF grill and quite a bit of fat came off of it. As I was making it, and the fat was dripping down the grill plate, I was wondering how many grams of fat were coming off of my burger....Would it be appropriate to subtract some amount of fat grams from…

Stupid qestion?
So, I bought a bottle of all natural coconut water by a company called "Zico" Should i count that toward my water intake or should i just count it as a regular beverage? I already added it to my diary, I would think it would be a regular beverage since coconut water isn't technically pure water? Haha sorry this is such a…

Couldn't stop smiling at Old Navy
Before I started with MFP, I couldn't wear any remotely tight clothing with my size 18 jeans because I had extreme muffin top. Why not just go a size up you ask? Well, my body is weird....The waist is always tight in my jeans, but the legs are huge making my body look weird. And it's always been that way. Even in middle…

Haters?
So, since i have lost about 25 lbs... (my tracker says 21, but my weigh-in day is tues!) people are starting to notice...I'm happy about that but I have had a couple people tell me "oh man, you're going to be skinnier than I am pretty soon" And it seems like they are almost upset about it? Has anyone else ever experienced…

Never did this before.
Does anyone else ever watch tv, and see all these commercials for food and think "omg! There's probably so much sodium in that!" Or..."omg! That looks like it would be so bad for you!" Something like that. It's funny because I have never thought these things before. This thought was brought on by these Frozen Pillsbury…

I do that for 15 min, then get off and do the elliptical for 15 minutes...get off of that and do the treadmill for 15 and will do the elliptical for another 15 min, all…

Obscured self image
I have just been thinking a lot about how thin (not thin in society's eye, but "thin" in my eye) I used to be. In high school, I was 150 lbs at my smallest (after losing 50lbs) I kept it off for maybe a year and started gaining and gaining, then more gaining....But my point is...At that time, I honestly thought I was…

Anyone else have this problem with jeans?
Hi, so ever since i can remember, i have had trouble finding pants, even in my "skinnier" days. I am a size or maybe 2 smaller in my legs than I am in my waist! Right now, I am wearing my jeans at a size 18. The waist is starting to fit better, but the legs are huge! I hate this problem. I really need to cut belly fat. Or…

Losing weight too fast?
Hi all. So, this morning I stepped on the scale and discovered that I had lost 6.4 lbs in one week! Last week, it was 4.6 lbs lost....I mean, I'm not complaining about it, I am just concerned because I was told that you shouldn't lose more than 3 pounds per week. I don't want to do this the unhealthy way....I do have a…

I can say maybe once just for human error but, i normally don't ever eat my workout calories back.…
