I did it before I'M DOING IT AGAIN
Ok so I fell off the wagon pretty much as hard as you can. Back in 2011 I joined this site. I was 116kg's. I didn't want to be any more. So I decided to change that. Within six months I lost 18 kg's and was resting at 98kg's. Then life hit me harder then I could possibly have expected. I lost my IT job and with it my…

Fat Logic
I used to use something that I like to call now as 'fat logic'. It's the only way I'd be able to explain the thoughts I'd have in the past. I believe a huge part to my 'half-way mark' success boils down to segregating who I once was with the person I want to be. The person I used to be was Fat Collin. The person I am now…

Confused? Then experiment!
After 6 months of using MFP I found myself depending on this website to the point that I was almost terrified of the day I reach my goal. I didn't like the prospect of being 'stuck' on a website every time I wanted to eat and I wasn't sure I would be able to control my foods without using this website. I know this may…

I KNOW THE SECRET TO LOSING WEIGHT!
The secret is there is no secret. It's hard work and commitment. Humuahahahahahaha! *I should edit this and say I put this up because people would always ask me 'what's your secret?'. Like it's some kind of hidden scroll in a mountain monastery written by the fittest Shaolin Monks ever known... what's their deal?

For anyone who needs help :) May this help you
I was going to write this in someone's post just now, but once I started typing my fingers just wouldn't stop. So please, if you feel weak or feel that you can't find the courage to lose weight and get to your goals, then please listen to my story. I had a food addiction. I would eat when I was bored. I wouldn't be able to…

Thread-WARRIORS post HERE!
Hi Guys, Just noticed that almost every day I jump on MFP I'm seeing flame WARS between people over topics that have absolutely nothing to do with the original thread topic. Usually goes like this: OP: "Am I [enter random state of mind here]?" Response 1: "Yes!" Response 2: "No!" Response 1: "I said YES!" Response 2: "I…

I can't believe I'm scared?
This is gonna sound nuts. ABSOLUTELY nuts. But I'm scared big time of losing weight. Don't get me wrong, more than ANYTHING I want to reach my goal weight. I want muscular tone. I want to be that 'trophy boyfriend' to my girl, so to speak. But I'm scared of the change! I'm terrified that when I reach my goal weight, get…

You never stop!
I was talking to my sister the other night and she was saying that she's jealous of the weight I've lost (in a supportive way) and is so happy for me but really wants it for herself. Her exact words were: "I want to lose weight but I always stop and can never stick to it..." It got me thinking about the reason behind my…

Sharp stomach pains after long run
I've been running 5k's once a week consistently for 4 months. Last night, after a night of binge eating I did a 'mercy run' to burn the excess off - 8.6k's in just under an hour. This was at about 11pm-to-midnight. However since I got home, stocked up on about 2 litres of water and slept I've noticed some pains in my…

I'm proud of you
Hi All, Been on this site for about 4 months now and thought I would mark it with a post. I've been seeing a lot of people posting threads about 'needing more support', 'not getting support at home', 'help! i need motivation!' and the like and I thought I'd say to all of the ones who have posted anything like that, but…

My shirts flap in the wind!!
I know that's a bit too enthusiastic, but I can't help it. I've spent so long walking with shirts that snug tightly around my waist that I forgot how amazing it feels to have a loose shirt flap in the wind. This is one of the things for me that proves there are countless reasons to continue losing weight, far from the…

Do you pre-log your exercises?
Sometimes I've found that by logging in my exercise BEFORE doing it, it's practically been chiseled into stone and one way or another it will be done. Curious if its taboo for some peeps to ever log something that hasn't preceded it?

Do you still eat bread or breathe?
... please, please, PLEASE stop discussing the 'Do you still drink milk?' thread! Moo cow is facepalming now!!

Need advice on exercises
I've been doing consistently well in my weight loss. So much so that my sister took notice and decided she would like to tone up and lose a little weight (I'm the overweight one, she's fine but a little exercise never hurt anybody). She's asked me about some exercises she could do but the problem is this: I know my…

How did you go this Christmas?
I was tentative this Christmas. So the story goes I did not want to, nor do I believe I should, log my food on festive days. I feel Christmas is a day to enjoy life and be thankful - and that's hard when you're nose is buried in your phone counting your calories. My first goal has always been to get under three digits, at…

Standard Weight for Machine Plates
Hi guys, Does anyone know the standard weight that one metal plate in a standard exercise machine weighs? I find it difficult calculating the amount I lift on machines and find myself estimating at 1-2kg a plate. Anyone know a standard I could go by? Thanks.

Not sure I'm doing this right...
I never go over my calorie limit for the day, which is 1920. However I've always been confused about the 'extra calories gained from exercise'... Is it wrong for me to run a 5k run, gain 600 calories that I can consume, but still feel full after eating 1600 calories on average a day? (I looked at my reports, and found my…
