Confidence
I realized today I have gained a lot of confidence in my ability to lose weight. I was telling someone about a new dress I got for a wedding at the end of May and that I can zip it up, but can't breathe while wearing it. She replied that I could take it to an alterations place and have them let it out a bit. I said no, I…

NSV!
I have been pouty about my slowed weight loss and this morning I was measuring to see if there is any measurement difference and there wasn't much, while I realize it won't be as big of changes as when I first started since I have less to lose now- it was still sad. Then at clinic the receptionist asked if I work out and I…

I am overweight! =)
Sounds odd to be happy about, but considering I had to lose just over 63 lbs to be considered to have a BMI in the overweight range instead of obese I count it as a success! :happy:

How do I get started doing chin ups?
One of my goals is to do a chin up or pull up. I am going to get an Iron Gym or something like it, but right now I don't think I could even do the thing where you stand on a chair to start at the top and lower yourself slowly. Which is the only advice I have seen on learning to do one, aside from an assisted machine at the…

Do you have an Iron Gym?
Some people say they are fine, others say they mark up the walls/door frame. What have you experienced?

Beer battered halibut nutrition info
I am trying to find a restaurant that serves beer battered halibut - fish & chips style that has nutrition info. The place I am going to is the only location so they don't have info but I am guessing it would be similar at any sit down restaurant. Anyone know of somewhere I could find this info?

YES!!! or NO!!!
I've noticed lots of people on MFP like to argue about pointless things so i thought I'd open a forum for that. So which side are you gonna choose YES!!! or NO!!! ? I'm going with NO!!! :bigsmile:

Magnesium can help with "TOM" cravings & cramps
Chocolate cravings are a sign of a magnesium deficiency. Some researchers believe that women crave chocolate prior to menstruation because it contains high levels of magnesium. ... The best way to get enough magnesium is to eat a variety of whole foods, including whole grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables. Cashews, almonds…

Halfway
I didn't start MFP until the end of August, but I have a pic from a family photo that was taken Dec 29th last year. I have it next to a pic taken today. I am not trying to cover my face on purpose, I just have my arms up to cheat and hide my now deflated spare tire. I have a MAJOR issue with loose skin due that never goes…

Not eating ice cream right now.
Just finished a final. It was online and crashed in the middle so I lost a full page of answers and had to wait for it to come back up and panicked a LOT. I am done now and i was able to finish it, but not really look over my answers like I normally would so that is kind of disconcerting. And while I don't think I am an…

best scale ever!
I was at a thrift shop today and stepped on a scale. It said I weighed 3 lbs more than my scale at home did. The difference being that I was fully dressed, including shoes, a winter coat, purse and 12 oz water bottle. I almost bought it even though I don't need a scale! I know it's just a # blah blah blah, but I still like…

opposite of an nsv...
I know everyone is different and we all start at different places, but when I read success stories from someone my height or taller and they mention they are almost too embarassed to post the before pics cuz they were such a huge disgusting fat cow cuz they weighed 145 I just want to cry and quit. My lowest weight ever is…

I hate that sucralose is in everything!!!!
I know some people like or have to do lower sugar or sugar free stuff, but I don't and I have a bad reaction to anything with sucralose in it. Recently I have been finding sucralose in more and more stuff that isn't listed as less or no sugar. For instance bought some hot cocoa, nowhere on the box did it say less sugar and…

What if we could block people like on fb....
I was just thinking it would be really fun if we could block people like you can on FB and then you wouldn't be able to see any of their super helpful posts on the msg boards.... No it wouldn't be a nice friendly thing to do, but it'd be fun!

Mountains are better
I have lived in Meridian - which I am pretty sure is part of the snake river plain. Now I live in North Central Idaho (Idaho County) in the mountains and it is way better. =)

Pulling out the box of "fattest skinny" clothes
Over the past few years I have given up on weight loss and got rid of all my skinny clothes except the fattest ones (XL/L). Today I came across a shirt I love and thought why don't I wear that anymore? Then I saw the tag it is a L t-shirt (men's sizes) and was like, oh that's why. But just for fun I put it on anyway and it…

NSV- sort of...
I have been trying to figure out what coat I wore last winter because none of mine seem warm enough now. Today i finally realized it is because I weighed 35 lbs more last winter and fat=warmth.

Need help with winter running gear
I need help to figure out what I can wear while running in 30ish degree weather that will keep me warm until I warm up, but not make me too hot part way in. My face gets really cold and I know my normal long sleeve shirts aren't working well. I have seen lots of wicking fabric shirts, etc., but I have no idea if they will…

Exercising less. Losing more weight. 30ds
I did 30ds last month and didn't lose much weight (like 6lbs). This week is my first week off of it and I am losing more weight (actually 3+ lbs this week). I have been doing some exercise this month but nothing that feels as hard as 30ds and I am eating less than I did on 30ds because according to MFP I am burning less…

NSV
I haven't had many people notice that i have lost weight and I am not sure I really want them to cuz sometimes it feels like they are saying, hey I just realized how fat you used to be. Anyway I have really only had 2 people mention anything abut it so I was thinking it really isn't that noticeable even though I have lost…

30ds results
I did 30ds for October. I went straight through everyday though I was only able to do 1/3 of it one day due to my on-call job. I don't think you can see any difference in my before and after pics - poor clothing choice. And I only lost 6lbs but my measurements got LOTS better. Lost 3 inches off my waist 2.5 off my hips 2…

30ds is annoying but it works
I lost .5 inches off my waist & .5 inches off my hips the MONTH before I started 30ds. I have lost .75 inches off my waist and .5 inches off my hips EACH WEEK of 30ds so far.... Still don't like Jillian Michaels but she does deliver results... :happy:

Can I change my start weight?
I know that MFP will allow me to but I am trying to decide if this is cheating or not. I lost 8lbs before starting MFP and it would be nice if my little tracker thing said more weight lost than it does right now. Though it won't put me any closer to my goal weight.

NSV
I tend to lose weight from my face pretty quickly so it gets very frustrating when I can't see any results but last week I had to get a new Costco card and in the crappy blurry picture I realize I can kinda see my cheekbones again. It has gotten even more defined since then. It's nice to have a visible change and reminder…

How does the weight work if you lose gain then lose again?
I usually don't enter if I gain weight but if I weigh 582lbs then 585 then 582 again will it tell people I lost 3 lbs or will it wait until I get below 582 again to say I lost weight?

Midwifery - on-call job with random hours. Suggestions?
I am a midwifery student and can be away from home with very little notice for a few days. I am finding it rather challenging to eat well when I get called away from home in the middle of the night and don't return for a few hours or a few days. I have some food in the fridge I can grab and go but it is only 1 meal and 1…

I am on MFP more than FB now!
I realized last night that I spend way more time on MFP than on FB now. It might be in part due to FB changing this so it sucks now but I think more of it is that I ♥ to read what people have posted here to get more motivation!

30ds too hard on knees?
I am not a huge fan of 30ds but I am ok with it. I have done it for 4 days and it is getting easier except I still think it is kinda hard on my knees. My arms aren't as sore today because I am used to it but I am worried my knees won't get used to it. How do I know if I am just being a pansy pants or if it could be an…

Fitness not weight goals.
Anyone else have goals based on being able to do things instead of weight? I have a tendency to get hung up on the #s on the scale so I made my goals be things I want to do instead of what I want to weigh... Has anyone else tried this? Does it work for you? I want 6 pack abs again - I miss them so much! I want to be able…
