MFP 1 Year Anniversary
As of yesterday, I have logged in 365 days in a row. I'm not going to say it feels like it was just last month, or how it's just flown by. It really hasn't. I have felt every single one of those days, for sure. For those interesed in pictures, I made a post with progress pics a few months back:…

Before & During - 35lbs lost in 7 months
During the first month or so of my weight loss, I took a couple "before" pictures. As I was leaving for work this morning, I realized I was wearing the same dress, and took a couple "during" pics. I had a deal with myself to wait until I had reached my halfway point before posting any kind of pics, but since I've been at a…

Wearing smaller clothes... But not sure I should?
Lately I've had to renew and replenish my wardrobe after losing about 35 lbs. Mostly cute, twee dresses, but with summer heat and humidity abound, I'm looking for shorts and tiny skirts too. In the past week I've worn a tiny rumper and now this tight little mini skirt. Both are new and both are in sizes i haven't fit into…

NSV - Managed to fight off the urge to binge for once!
I had a terrible day at work (on top of general PMS insanity), so on my way home I followed my messed up instincts and went to the grocery store, all ready to have a massive "let's eat all those feelings and see if they go away!" binge. While there I realized that doing so would only make me feel worse. So I left the store…

NSV - 30DS
I first tried the 30 Day Shred back in December when I was home for Christmas and new I'd be gymless for a month. At that point, I had been using MFP for about 7 weeks, and had been seriously exercising at the gym for about the same time. I was losing weight and fast, and felt better about myself..... Until I tried the…

Is your diet making your skin better or worse?
I've only been at this for about 7-8 weeks, but I wonder if now that I'm eating better, I should expect to see changes in my skin? I've always heard that eating better will make your skin better, but always felt it was just a myth. I'm 27 but I still have very bad skin, which I try desperately to keep at bay. It's not easy…

Having doubts about the 30 Day Shred...
I'm started the 30 DS this week, as I am gym-less for a month, but I'm not so sure about it... Obviously I was incredibly sore the first two days, so I took the day off yestersay, and did an hour of cardio (3mph on treadmill with 7.5 incline, walked 2.5 miles) and 30 minutes of strength, and while I did feel the burn, it…

Gym-less for a month, need tips!
Hi! I'm still relatively new to both MFP and serious weight loss, I think my 3 weeks here have been my most sucessful "diet" yet! However, in three weeks, I'll leaving for TX and spending a whole month at my parents' house. Resisting all the delicious food will be a challenge of its own, but most importantly, I'll be…

Fatty foods and hangovers
Any idea why my body craves all sorts of junk after a night on the town? Not only am I constantly hungry when hungover, but it's not exactly lettuce I crave... Right now I'm having a frozen pizza for breakfast. At 10am. Seriously. This would never happen on a regular day! I get that alcohol is basically poison for your…

I guess it's about time!
I've been half-heartedly dieting and excercising for a while. I'll be good for 2 weeks, then bad for 2 weeks. I'm a 27 year old grad student. I've been heavy for years, my weight usually yo-yoing naturally. But the past couple years, it's only been going up! Recently I got the idea that tracking my exercise and food intake…
