i've been on this journey so long with some amazing people on my friends list, but some have left and others don't talk as much. i don't have facebook so this is my social media site of choice. i like seeing people post, and have little conversations with them if they post something. i'm here for support and i would like…

why am i so sensitive?
I lost 28 lbs last year with a deficit at about 1700 calories. I now eat 1200-1400 calories per day, and if i stay true to this, i do lose a pound every week/week and a half. BUT if i go over by 200-400 calories one day, the next day my scale puts me a pound or two up and it takes me SO long to lose it, pretty much a full…

eating at certain times.
okay, so I mentioned i have a couple stomach issues and i'm constantly going for tests and scopes. but i don't really eat at work because i can't afford to get sick at work. i spend hours sometimes unable to run to the washroom if i needed to. so sometimes i find i have 1000 calories left over from the day due to my fitbit…

please help me - toning at home
I have lost 33 lbs just by walking a bit more and counting calories. though it has been a long journey, about 2 years all together. work and school left me exhausted. I'm finding myself with a bit more time, energy and motivation lately. I have seen numerous people lose weight and burn fat like crazy just by weight…

whoosh weight loss
I find I stall for months and months on end, almost a half a year sometimes but then all of a sudden i'll drop 10lbs in a month. no changes in anything. I always eat below my calories, some days i'm more active so i eat about 1500-1600. days i'm not active i eat about 1300. it's all according to my fitbit. Does anyone have…

do you have cheat days/meals?
if so, do you eat at maintenance for a day or do you just have a cheat meal but stay within calories? do you find it helps or hurts? answers please! :smile:

questions about my lifestyle and losing weight
I do have a decently active job, most days i do about 7000-8000 steps, an active day is about 1100 steps. on that note, my fitbit says to lose a lb a week i usually need about 1700 cals per day. there are some days (maybe about 3-4) where i only eat about 1100-1400 a day, due to me working some night shifts. will this in…

I went from 182-187 for about a year, i was on and off due to school and working full time for practicum. I decided to really try again this year during school. I got a…

any ideas on why it isn't working this time?
before the summer from about feb to may i have used myfitnesspal every day. i was using 1500 calories a day and on weekends i was eating about 2000 which is my maintenance. it worked great! i was losing about a lb a week and sometimes even 2 lbs. i would have weeks where i didn't lose but then the next week i'd lose about…

NSV of the month!
i've been wanting to goto the gym for years now, but was always WAYYYYYY too terrified. there's probably been atleast 4 times in the last 2 months that i committed to going to the gym, but always chickened out right before. i finally went tonight. it was ABSOLUTELY terrifying at first. it's a smaller gym so very enclosed…

snide comments
I went to visit my friend at the bar she works at, and we were talking about the weight we were losing and how it stalls sometimes and just general stuff like that. the guy sitting next to me chimed in and said "you girls are crazy. losing weight is EASY. if you don't find it easy, you're not trying hard enough" i just…

dealing with frenemies
you know, like betty and veronica. i had a friend who was tall, skinny and beautiful but very shallow. she constantly made remarks about my weight. every time she went out, she would say things like "i'm the hottest one in this club" and if i liked a guy, she would make it her mission to hook up with said boy. she would…

just used a pedometer and i have a question
mmk so i didn't do much today but it did say i had 5162 steps and i burned 121 calories now my confusion: i know my bmr is like 1570 and my tdee is 2070 so does the pedometer show just the calories counted toward my tdee?or is that an extra 121 calories i burned on top of my tdee?

where did your weight come off first?
people are saying it's in my face. i've also lost 4 inches on my stomach, but i think unfortunately it's more on my sides and not the front. you? when did you start to see it come off everywhere?

what do you guys think of metabolism "reset"
k, correct me if i'm getting anything wrong here. but i'm on week 3 of no weightloss and am i wrong in thinking i should try to up my calories for a couple days? i was thinking of just going on maintenance for 2 days on the weekend to kick start my metabolism. is this wrong? sorry if this is stupid, but this is what i've…

motivation
i've been at this for almost 4 months now, and the last 2 weeks have been a little harder than usual. i just find counting calories so daunting, and wishing i could just eat what i want and not worry about it. i'm a little worried because i don't wan't to fail. but i'm keeping with it. today i feel a little better and a…

someone posted this on my sisters facebook:
you can imagine the comments :laugh: the girls are basically flipping out and all the guys are saying "it's so true" i don't get why we can't agree that it's difficult for everyone! if it was so easy, half of us girls wouldn't have been so big our whole lives. guys, i know it's difficult for you too. smh. edit: ah it got…

FINALLY getting noticed
i went out with a bunch of friends last night and ended up seeing a lot of guy friends. i haven't seen most of them for about a month. anyway, one of them kept telling me how he want's to kiss me, and other awkward things... another was saying how "different, but really good" i look. and the best one was an old flame of…

inches gone with just 16lb weightloss.
sometimes i feel like the weight loss if going slowly, so i decided to check my measurements i've lost 4 inches on my stomach! i've lost 4 inches under my chest! i've lost 2 inches on my boobs! things like this make me happy, and make me realize that goal i'm working towards will happen eventually! :)

things you've improved.
say somethings you've improved on during this journey! mine would be that i'm a fast food addict. like once a day, SOMETIMES twice a day. now: i have fast food once a week on Saturdays. but only if it fits in my calories. this was a huge step for me. :)

the concept of losing weight.
i've told some close guy friends i wan't to lose weight. they shrug it off like it's easy. "just eat less and move more" and "just eat healthier" yes, that helps but i find it frustrating that they don't realize how difficult it can be. when i told some of them i lost 10 lbs in 2 months (which is great) they kinda looked…

that little voice.
when i'm having slow weeks or weeks where my weight fluctuates up, i can't help but hear a little voice in my head saying "you'll never reach your goal" it's so frustrating. discouraging. i try to remind myself how far i've come and how it'll take time but it just almost seems impossible to me sometimes. i refuse to give…
