The last darn 15 pounds!
I have 15 pounds to go until my goal...and from what I read, these last 15 pounds are going to be the death of me. It SEEMS like what I did to lose the first 20 pounds is no longer going to work. I've been stuck at the same weight for a week or two now and with my wedding fast approaching, I am beginning to get…

What Is your ideal weight?
As a tall woman, I know sometimes it's tough for me to figure out what my ideal weight should be. I am 5'9 and looking to get to 145 and then go from there. I originally thought 135...but that's on the low end of healthy, so we will see... How about y'all??

A coworker sent me a link about this...apparently it helps to aid in weight loss. Now, I am going to disclaim this by saying, I have never used weight loss supplements and probably never will, but curious if anyone has tried this.

Runner's HELP! Foot/Heel/Arch Pain
Hello to all you runners! I have been running for about a year now. Nothing long distance...only about 5 miles a day (averaging about 7mph). I got married and went on my honeymoon and thus, took a month or two off from daily running. Since I've returned to running, I've developed this sharp pain in the bottom of my right…

Post Wedding Weight Gain, Words of Inspiration needed :)
Hey all! Like many brides, I was very motivated to drop weight for my wedding. With the help of MFP, I was able to lose 22 pounds before the big day. Since my April nuptials, 9 of those 22 pounds have crept back up on me. I am trying to get back on the wagon, but it's hard without a direct goal and date (like a wedding) in…

What part of planning stresses you the most?
I gotta be honest...trying to appease his mom and my mom has been hell-acious. They both have COMPLETELY different opinions and both are COMPLETELY stubborn. People tell you "don't let it bother you, this is YOUR wedding", but really...it's not. Blah!

Who has before/after pics of 35-40 pounds loss?
It is fabulous to see all these people on here who have managed to lose 50, 75, 100+ pounds. You all are an inspiration to all of us. However, my weight loss goal is 36 pounds. It seems hard to find people with similar goals and it would be great to see people's before/after pictures as comparison! :)

What is your biggest weight loss struggle?
For some people it's eating right on weekends, or saying no to that darn midnight snack...for others, it's getting their butt to the gym or the inability to refrain from the drive thru when time is short. I know, for me...it's special events. I simply cannot keep it together at weddings/birthdays/parties/thanksgiving/etc.…

What is a cordless elliptical?
So, I am in the market for a new elliptical, but I've come across a question during my research. some of the ellipticals are said to be cordless...how does this work? Does it work by simply you moving your body, moves the machine? Is it battery powered (I assume no)? And, for all you who own ellipticals, which do you like…

So, I got this idea from a friend of mine...but my goal for October is to run 50 miles! I think this is a great short term goal to keep me going towards my final weight lost and fitness goals. As of 10/4 I am 2.5 miles down and 47.5 to go! oh boy....

You know what aggravates me?
When other people feel like they have a right to comment on how much weight they think you should lose. I was just in the office kitchen making lunch when a co-worker asked how my diet was going, I said so far so good and that I was down around ten pounds...then, she asks me how much weight I plan to lose....when I said 36…

Super Exciting Wedding NSV!

Small (and slightly embarrassing) NSV
Over the past year... I've gained about 20 pounds. However, being in a state I denial...I refused to buy new jeans as I kept telling myself "Oh, you'll lose it, it's not worth spending the money for new clothes". So, over the course of the year my "skinny" jeans became to small....then, my "fat" jeans starting becoming to…
