26 months after joining MFP in pictures
I posted this in the wrong forum at first. :/ This was my original success story post when I made it to my goal, before gaining back any weight: "I have had a history of binge eating and bulimia since High School and I finally figured out why I was doing it after a few years of therapy. Soooooo I had already been eating a…

Passed MFP goal! Lost over 1/2 my body weight PICS
I have had a history of binge eating and bulimia since High School and I finally figured out why I was doing it after a few years of therapy. Soooooo I had already been eating a little better and working out a little and that was just the push I needed to keep me going in the right direction and to do it the healthiest way…

Extra skin vs fat?
I'm starting to notice my skin seems sort of... (for lack of a better term)... 'empty' in some areas. It's not really a lot and I'm probably the only one that notices and it's only when I sort of pinch my skin together that I notice. I'm just wondering if there's a way to tell the difference between if this is just still…

I need easy to eat HIGH calorie/nutrient meal ideas
I'm starting to get a 'tiny' bit worried. I've hit my goal weight, passed it and the scale keeps moving down faster than it probably should at this point in time. I'm on anti-epileptic medication that makes my appetite pretty much nonexistent and my stomach feels like it's going to throw on the reverse switch about half…

From a 4XL to a size 8!
I'm pretty stoked right now. I'm less than 9 lbs from my medically ideal weight, according to my Doctor, but my measurements are within a healthy BMI range. I was 308lbs and a 4XL when I was 18 years old. I was 298 and somewhere between a 24-28 in December of 2011. Today I am 157.4 and most of my size 8 jeans fit PERFECTLY…

Starvation mode question
K so I'm posting this here because I don't want to deal with people eating like 2,400+ calories per day jumping my crap even more. I posted a question about my medication before so I don't wanna do it again on the boards lol. I started taking Adderall again last Thursday (2/23/12) and I find it sooooooo hard to freakin'…

8 months ago today I was 101lbs heavier (PICS)
Short little note: I've had a binge eating disorder for as long as I can remember. Through therapy and dedication to myself and my goals, I've managed to keep that under control. I'm 5 million times happier and I'm a more complete person now. I can run, I can smile and I can feel comfortable in my own body for probably the…

Coffee mug cake (with Nutella)
I LOVE this for something quick when I'm craving cake. The calories differ depending on what type of cake mix you use and if you put anything on top of it or not. Take 1 box of Angel Food cake and 1 box of whatever other flavor cake mix you want (I chose double chocolate) and mix them together in a big Tupperware…

Just passed 1/2 way to my goal! (pics)
I'm down to the point where this is pretty much the lowest weight I've ever been in my adult life. I get to this point and stop or give up or whatever. Buuuuuuuut not this time. I'm so excited that I'm refusing to stop until I've hit my goal this time. Even then I will maintain a healthier lifestyle. Who knows, maybe I'll…

NSF (non scale fail)
I got ready to go running today and my usual running capris were in the laundry. I picked up my yoga pants, put them on and asked myself, "Hmm. Are these maybe a little too loose now for me to run in? ... Nahhhhhh." So I just went for my run like usual. Passed by a construction crew, took a hard right while still…

4 1/2 months = almost no double chin (pics)
I can still make myself have a tiny double chin if I try but it's nice to know that it's not just hanging out there saying what's up to everyone I smile at. :)

NSV - Down from 3X/24 to L/16
Friday night I asked my friend if she had a big shirt I could borrow and the biggest size she had was a Large. I thought it was going to be super tight and NOPE! I haven't been in a Large shirt in sooooo long. January to today.

Turned 25 - had an NSV
I bought these yoga pants a few months ago when I was 24 and they were so tight and had to be pulled up so high that the lettering on the thigh had my fat stomach hanging down on top of it. I tossed them aside and forgot about them. Yesterday I turned 25 and put these on... they are a little saggy in the legs and *kitten*…

My booty went from front to back! (pic)
Haha I posted this picture on facebook this morning and my cousin pointed out that my booty went from being in the front (my fat *kitten* stomach) to being where it should be... on my *kitten*. rofl Yes, I know I need to clean my mirror. Shut up.

I'm so happy that I could...
I'm so happy that I could shi!t rainbows! I bought a 4X bikini when I was 18 so that I could take before and after pics since I was going to start losing weight. I only lost like 20 lbs then stopped. Well, I bought an XL of the same bikini at the same time telling myself I'd fit into it someday. Well, friends, TODAY is…

Need birthday 'cake' ideas!!!
I'm turning 25 next month and my husband is going to be 28 a few days before that. We're both working at getting healthier but here's the key difference: He wants a full on birthday cake for himself. So whatever. He can have his cake lol. I want something low cal. We're going to have separate birthday parties this year…

Jan. 2013 Disney Marathon
Does anyone on here have any interest in doing the Disney World full Marathon in January next year? Registration opens April 10th and I will be signing up. I'm just wondering if there's anyone that wants to do it as well so that I might know some more people that will be there. :)…

Me? Run a full marathon? Yes, sir!
I've been walking for a few months and recently started jogging/running. As of now, I can maintain a solid 14 minute mile. As long as I'm not running up steep hills (which is almost all I have in my neighborhood), I can keep going for a while without dying. My goal was to complete a full marathon before I'm 30. So a little…

Absent menses?
I had no clue where else this should go... hopefully it's seen here by people who may be able to answer. My monthly cycle has stopped occurring naturally due to my weight. Sure, it came when I took BC or something else hormonal to make me have a withdraw bleed. But it won't come on its own. I can't even remember how much I…

NSV - Mah multi-chins!!
I'm not posting pics because I look really, really, super-duper retarded trying to do this buuuuuuut I thought it was hilarious. I tried my absolute hardest to push my chin into my neck and make as big of a double chin as I could. Then I looked at a picture of that compared to a picture from December when I was just…

Bodybugg question
I use a bodybugg and I'm wondering if slipping my iPhone into the arm band, far enough from the device itself so that it still has proper skin contact, will cause any issues? I was at the gym and I kept knocking my phone off the thing it was sitting on or it kept falling out of my pocket. Soooo I did that but I don't know…

I'm a Debbie Downer with determination
What I mean by the thread title is that I'm seriously being a Debbie Downer lately. Like... so much that I should probably actually change my name to that. I've been so depressed because of a few things and all I want to do is sleep and cry some days. I have also just wanted to give up for a few days just so I can sit…

I am worth too much to quit on me.
I have had a really bad couple of days. I went through some stress and then partied a little too much yesterday making it the first time in six weeks that I had gone over my calorie limit. I pretty much destroyed that by going over by about 1,000 calories throughout the whole day, with 600-700 being alcohol calories. I…

Personal goal - NSV
I completed my first ever walk for charity this morning. It was a 1 mile walk to raise money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. I set out attempting to raise $150 for it and ended up with $250. Not only that but the team I walked with received an award for being the "most spirited team." Our team leader…

Diet and exercise tips from my Sister-in-Law, the fitness mo
So my Sister-in-Law is a professional body builder, fitness model and personal trainer. I asked for some guidance with what I've been doing because, I may have lost a lot of weight in less than three months, but I could be doing it more effectively. So I thought I'd share her wisdom. I'm just going to copy and paste some…

Laxatives, stool softeners, water or nothing? (TMI?)
I know this is TMI for some but I don't give a crap... literally. I haven't gone to the bathroom in 3 days. My fiber intake was super high, I didn't have ANY red meat or much meat at all really. I only started taking a medication again yesterday and it never caused an issue before so I'm assuming it's not that. But damn!…
