Slight NSV.
I haven't lost a whole lot yet but I am certainly starting to notice my clothes fitting better. My jeans are hanging off of my butt but I can't fit in the next size down yet, hah. Put on a winter jacket yesterday too and it was noticeably looser. I forgot how good loose clothing makes you feel.

Question for the men (or ladies!).
Do you consider large tattoos on women un-feminine (is that even a word? Hah.)? I know that's an odd question, but I have two tattoos that cover the back of my calves and sometimes I wonder what men would think if they saw me in shorts or a dress. I know I shouldn't care what others opinions are, but I'm genuinely curious.…

Hungrier on days that I work.
I've noticed on days I work that I am ravenous between lunch and dinner, compared to perfectly fine on days that I am off. I'm not eating more or less when I'm not working, so all I can think is because I'm up moving around more and I suppose burning more calories on days that I work, that is making me more hungry. I'm a…

Can't change ticker picture?
Anyone tried to change their ticker picture lately? When I click upload photo it does nothing, just takes me back to the choose a ticker style page.

I want to be able to..
What is something you want to be able to do when you lose weight, that you feel you can't really do now? I want to be able to wear HIGH heels (can't right now, they kill my feet with too much weight on them) and dress super cute!

Do you tan?
Kind of off topic for this board but no board really seemed appropriate for this. But just curious, do any of you tan? Naturally? Tanning beds? Spray tans? I am pretty pasty pale and I'm considering doing something about it when I get closer to goal. Not all Jersey Shore style or anything, but a little bit of sun. There's…

Varying reactions to hunger.
I've noticed that sometimes when I let myself get too hungry I'm like a raging lunatic and will eat whatever I can get my hands on. Sometimes though, I can be hungry for hours and it doesn't even phase me mentally. What gives? Does this happen to anyone else?

Anyone GAIN weight alarmingly fast?
I noticed between about September - January I gained 20 pounds. That seems alarming to me. The funny part is I really don't even notice it's happening. It seems when I really don't pay attention to what I'm doing I gain weight at a very fast pace. Anyone else have this issue?

If you can't build muscle with a calorie deficit..
Then what are the benefits of strength training while losing weight? Maybe I'm over thinking this. Strength training has always been a weak spot for me, so perhaps I am just not educated enough on the subject.

I don't really understand the concept of 6 small meals per d
I know this sounds silly, but for some reason I get a little confused when I mull this over in my head. I am so used to just eating 3 normal sized meals, with maybe a snack between lunch and dinner. I've always heard it's better for you to have 6 small meals per day, because it keeps your metabolism working, doesn't let…

Is it possible to lose this much in a year?
I want your honest opinions, good or bad: Do you think it is possible to lose 100-120 pounds in a year? I'm female, 26 years old, and would be willing to do moderate exercise on a regular basis, 3-5 times a week, and open minded to increasing exercise as I lost the weight. I am just mulling this over in my head. Lay it on…

For those with a lot to lose, how do you stay motivated?
A little background on myself: I've lost and gained 186 pounds total over my life (give or take some). I'm only 26 years old. My last round of weight loss I lost 56 pounds and got down below 200 pounds. Since I've lost that I've gained every bit of it back + about 10 pounds. How do those of you with a lot to lose stay…

Help with my food log.
I am going to start tracking on Saturday 11/12 using MFP instead of Weight Watchers. I pre-tracked my food for that day, but I can't seem to get my Fat/Carbs/Calories/Protein right where they need to be. I've never used any sort of tracking that's been this specific, so I'm not sure what should be tweaked in my menu for…

Do you feel too restricted?
Hi! My name's Natalie and I just had a question for you guys that use MFP. Do you ever feel like you're too restricted on this plan considering you have a certain calorie range to stay within? I currently do Weight Watchers which allows for a bit of splurging, and I'm just worried that I'd have a hard time adjusting to…
