65 pounds lost
Just wanted to share my story, in hopes it might inspire someone. I reached my highest weight of 200+ pounds in February, after having my first child. I was always overweight, even as a child, and had yoyo dieted most of my life. After having my son, I got serious about my health. I started eating healthy (lots of protein,…

Don't know how to delete. Changed my mind about the post.

Looking for friends! :)
I haven't used MFP in a long time. I was doing really well back when I first created my profile and had a few members that I met via this forum who were so kind and supportive. It helped me stay on track and be accountable, and I also like giving encouragement to others who are working toward their goals! Unfortunately,…

Do you tell people you're losing weight?
Another thread got me thinking about this. Since you started eating better, working out, etc. have you told people? Or are you keeping it to yourself? As for me, I haven't really told anyone. I've lost around 30 pounds so far, and only a couple of people have commented. The few people who know that I'm losing weight, how…

Alone all weekend...what am I going to eat?
I'm going to be alone this weekend. In the past, I've always gone for fast food and it takes care of the problem. But I don't do fast food anymore. I don't want to have to cook and waste a bunch of food. And I'm trying to avoid frozen meals. Any ideas as to what I can make or buy (for lunch/dinner) that is single serving?…

I need to STOP emotional eating! Tips?
I've been doing good for the past 5 months, but something happened recently that's triggering my emotional eating. Getting to that point where you just don't care about calories and you want that temporary satisfaction. Does anyone have any tips/ways of thinking that helps avoid this problem?

What did you do on your 21st birthday?
I'll be 21 this month. I don't really feel like going out or anything though. People are shocked :huh: Am I the only one who doesn't care about the legal drinking age thing? How did you celebrate your 21st?

what do you put in your coffee?
I've been using coffeemate french vanilla, but the calories add up way too fast! Looking for a better alternative... What do you use?

craigslist - missed connections
I'm curious what people think about this: Creepy or just another resource to contact someone? How would you feel if someone posted something about you on there? I'm on the fence about this. There's someone that I met at a previous job that I lost contact with. I have no way of getting ahold of this person but would like…

Why do people weigh themselves naked?
This question isn't weight loss related, I'm just curious. I've seen a lot of people mention this on here. Typically "in the morning, after I use the bathroom, naked." Morning and bathroom is understandable, but why the clothes? I'm going to assume when you first wake up in the morning, you're not wearing snow boats and…

WHY am i so bloated??
Not sure where to post this at, so hopefully this is okay. For the past few days I've been really bloated. I haven't changed my eating habits much, drinking water, exercising, etc. I don't see what's causing this & how to make it stop. I really hate this feeling. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this…

"Black Swan" movie?
Yeah, I'm a couple years late. I haven't seen this movie, but I'm thinking about renting it. Is it any good? I hear it's pretty creepy? Anyone care to tell me what you think?

Do you have to keep cutting your calories?
This is something I've thought about for a while, but never addressed it. MFP gives me 1200 cals/day. That's cool. I've been sticking with that for about a month and a half with no problems. I've been losing the weight pretty slowly, but it's still coming off. But my question is - will I keep losing weight until I reach my…

Why lie about wanting to hang out with someone?
Why do people do this? I don't mean when old friends are like "We need to hang out soon!" and then never do--whatever, that happens all the time. I mean when people say they should hang out and then never follow through on the plans because they don't actually want to. It's like that episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. where…

Do you take the time to get to know someone?
They say you only get one chance to make a first impression. Do you believe first impressions are an accurate representation of a person? Or do you take the time to really get to know someone and base your feelings/opinions on that? I'm talking about new people you meet, that you choose to associate with. (Not like…

"Have you lost weight" comment...
Am I the only one who DOESN'T like hearing this? A couple of people have asked me lately, and it feels really awkward. It's not a compliment, it's just kind of an observation about your weight. Anyone know where I'm coming from?

I should probably stop eating ____?
Is there something you eat that you should cut back on? Even though you're allowed to (calorie wise) you still feel a little guilty? Mine right now is blueberry bagels with honey butter. Like 400 calories, so I can make it work for breakfast (every morning this week, ugh.) Anyone else in the same boat?
-
Does what time you eat matter?
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but I would like your opinion. Does timing matter when it comes to eating? For example, some people say its bad to skip breakfast. What about skipping lunch? What about eating all of your calories in one meal? (Just giving random examples) As long as your meeting your calorie…

Ladies, what's your favorite perfume?
I've been using D&G Light Blue for a while and I'm interested in getting a new scent. SO......What's your favorite perfume & can you describe what it smells like or why you like it.

What healthy food do you LOVE?
Is there a healthy food that you love to eat? My favorite thing right now is fresh, juicy pears. SO GOOD! :) I think I prefer a good pear over chocolate. Yeah, the sugar is there in fruit...but it's still fruit so it's on my list when I go shopping. Anyone want to share what you're favorite thing is to eat? I'd like to get…

Please help me understand this...
I joined here last year, but I only recently started using this site. I've been working out 5 days a week for the past month and a half and I wanted better results, so I decided to count calories and watch what I eat. I've been reading through the message boards and I keep hearing people talk about how 1200 calories isn't…

If you don't know the calories in something?
Do you avoid it all together? If I forget to bring my lunch, I usually go to the store. I've had a habit of grabbing something from the deli, that's made and ready to go (usually a wrap) but this means I don't know how many calories are in it. I suppose I could guess, but my guess could be way off. So..my question is....do…

Adjusting to portion sizes?
Hi everyone! I've recently started getting serious about losing weight and learning to eat right. I always knew that I ate too much (hence the weight) but I had no idea how many servings I had been eating! Now that I'm starting to eat the 1 serving when it comes to snacks, measuring my cereal in the morning, pre-made…
