How I Broke My Plateu
Hey everyone! A lot of people have been asking me what my "new approach" is since I posted a topic about friends dropping you like last week's fashion magazine. The short version is that I posted a message on my profile that I was trying something new, something that didn't involve calorie counting, and as such, would not…

Kinda going through something - surviving a break-up?
From what I can gather depression always affects eating in one way or the other. Either you eat food to fill a void and comfort yourself, or the feeling of sadness is so intense it makes you feel sick to your stomach and all appetite goes right out the window. In my case, when I'm sad, I can't eat (or sleep). This is…

30 Days - NO ALCOHOL - Pics
Hey guys! So, recently I did a little experiment and said no to alcohol for a full 30 days. I was told I would see a HUGE difference and that my body would have an easier time of letting go of those nasty fat cells during this time. Well....it didn't work. At least, not for me. But I saw that "HUGE" difference in my bf…

Deleting Friends
I posted a comment on my profile about seend a nutritionist and trying a new approach. This approach was less calorie count oriented and more "what-you-eat-and-how-often." So, the result was that I didn't log on to MFP for a couple of weeks (two and a half) and today I log back in to find myself deleted from certain…

My First NSV!!
A couple of days ago I posted a few pics of myself to see if anyone could see the difference. I was discouraged because I wasn't feeling like I was making any huge strides in my weight loss and over the past 7 months, I've only lost 5 lbs. Well a lot of you really AWESOME MFPers wrote that you COULD see a difference and…

Can anyone see a difference?
I'm losing steam here, people. Week to week i'm down 1 lb, up 2 the next, down 1 lb, up 4 the next. It's exhausting. I'm working out 6 days a week. Eating well, doing Boot Camp twice a week...I am NOT seeing a change in my body and it's really starting to get to me. SO here are a couple of pictures of me when I started,…

Looking for friends in Denver
Hi all! I'm not looking JUST for friends in Denver, but wanted to know if anyone on this site, besides myself, was a resident of Denver, CO. It'd be nice to have some same-city support! Holla at me!

Only had 10-15 lbs. to lose? I need you!
I'm looking for before and after pictures of people who only had 10-15 lbs. to lose (like me) and I'd like to know how long it took everyone to get there! I've been on this site for three months and only this morning did I see ANY movement on the scale (0.5lbs). I'm just looking for success stories to keep my spirits up. I…

HELP ME
I work out 6 days per week and sometimes twice a day. I eat as healthy as I can. I drink alcohol sometimes, but I always stay as close to my calorie goal as I can. My diary should be public (for a short while) so please take a look and let me know. I am seriously going out of my mind. I can' stand it anymore. I just CANNOT…

Chai Tea Latte Recipe??
So I am IN LOVE with these dumb lattes, but I know they're really high in empty calories (they're also not cheap, even if you buy the ready-made consentrate). Does anyone out there have a good low-cal, low-sugar, or otherwise healthier chai tea latte recipe? I'd love to hear it, if you do :-) - B

Has anyone tried Apidexin?
Hey All, I've been on here for about 2 months now and in the last week or so I've gotten discouraged and stopped keeping track of my calorie intake. I lose a pound one week, gain 2 the next and so on. I haven't seen ANY results so i kind of gave up. Then I heard about this pill, Apidexin, that has helped a lot of people…

Protein Shakes in the AM?
So, I want to start eating protein shakes in the morning en lieu of actual breakfast, and also to keep me away from those stupid Starbucks Frappucinos. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good brand? I'd prefer soy protein and I'd like one that isn't a body-building one. Just protein and vitamins and low-cal, if possible.…

1200 Calorie/Day Minimum?
Hey guys! I have a question. Maybe you all can help me out. Is it more important that you CONSUME 1200 calories/day (at least) or that you AVERAGE out to a 1200 calorie/day intake? I'm asking because I've ramped up my work outs recently because I've not been seeing a difference in my weight or overall fitness. I'm now…

I've hit a wall, how do I break through it?
Okay, so week to week I eat my 1200 calories, I run 3 to 4 times per week (average of 10 miles per week), I walk, rather than drive, to as many places as I can, or ride my bike. However, one week I'll lose 1 lb., the next week I'm back up 1 lb. I can't freaking win. I've been at this for the last month and have seen 0 to…
