Why I love MFP vs other logging sites
I was using a different food logging site for like 5-6 years off and on. I could never figure out how to use it to its full extent, apparently. It never 'yelled' at me to eat more when I ate too little and I didn't have a phone app to take everywhere with me. With the combination of my own determination, not being a doofus…

NSV aaaaaaand scale victory!
In 11 weeks, I have lost just over 1/4 of the weight I need to lose to be at a healthy weight. From 298 down to 259.8. I'm super excited to no longer be 260 something... even if it is only 0.2 lbs out! The NSV... I think I need to buy new running clothes soon.

Adderall question
I have no clue where to put this. Soooooo it's going here because I need some nutrition help. I started back on 20 mg of Adderall today after being off it for a year. Before, I didn't really care that I had no apatite and never wanted to eat or drink anything. I figured that since I'm being all super healthy with my food…

Pretty sure my face dropped 10 lbs in a week
My jaw just dropped a few minutes ago when I was looking at my face. Well, yesterday my friend stopped me mid sentence to tell my that my face is just looking so much thinner. I smiled and said thanks but I didn't really think much of it. I know I've lost weight so it was expected that it would look thinner after 2 1/2…

Something motivating turned into such... blah
So one of the friends I'm working out with a few times a week asked me to do a walk for Muscular Dystrophy with her. Well, knowing that I only had 2 1/2 weeks to bust my butt to do the fundraising, I started out with a goal of $150 (not even much at all) and I was all like, "I GOTS THIS, YO!!!" Now I have 10 days left and…

I need a little pep talk (probably a little negativity in he
I'm not sure what my deal is today but I'm not as excited as I usually am. I mean, I'm still in a great mood and I'm happy but I started to think (oh no!) about things this morning. I have never seen myself thin. Maybe when I was three years old, but then I turned into a fat kid who turned into a fat adult. I've never been…

YESSSSS! 30 pounds GONE!
I really wasn't sure where to put this so I hope it's in the right place. I am just super excited today! I started my weight loss 11 December 2011 and I was 298 pounds. Look what I saw this morning! I'm so close to having lost 1/3 of 100 pounds and I just couldn't be happier and more proud right now and I needed to share…

Fasting?
I started doing a once a week water fast a couple weeks back for a couple reasons. The main reasons are to detox and cleanse, I feel energized and more productive when I do fast whether it's water only, juices or protein shakes and it seems to make me concentrate more, not only the day I fast, but the rest of the week as…

Always FREEZING since starting this diet. Anyone else?
I used to always, ALWAYS be really hot no matter what I was doing. My AC was set at 70* and sometimes I would still be hot. For the last month (I've been eating better since December), I am constantly freezing. Not even just a little chilly but down right freezing and sometimes even shivering. I keep my AC around 75-78 now…

2 months using MFP - first time posting
Hi! My name is Christi and I'm 24 years old. I started using my fitness pal December 11th, 2011 and, as of today, I've lost a little over 27lbs. It's amazing what eating the right things, the right amount of those things and working out can do in such little time! I use this app with my dad, mom, grandmother, husband and…
