110lbs down... and done! Working on the fit bit (with pics)
Hi everyone, So I stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in a while... and I've officially reached my goal weight! Eeee! Thought I'd share the excitement with you all... Still some left to do- I'm not entirely happy with my fitness levels, and would love to tone up some more. But hey, I lost a whole person!…

From 275lb to 182lb (and 20lb left to go) with PICS (hopeful
So I'm relatively new to MFP, but definitely not new to losing (and gaining) weight. I'm at a point now where I'm feeling pretty close to my end goal and wanted to remind myself how far I've come. It's so easy to get discouraged when you can't run any faster, or your clothes fit the same, or the scale doesn't move. These…

Separation of the sexes...
... when it comes to attraction. So, I do occasionally get compliments on my looks- almost always from women. Guys just don't seem to think that I rate. Anyway, I was curious as to whether any of the people that you guys think are pretty damn sexy (male or female) would generally be rated by a member of the opposite sex.…

Favorite physical sensation...
... that doesn't involve sex? (c'mon, that'd be waaaaay too easy) Mine would have to be that first stretch when you get out of bed and your whole body goes ahhhh. Or hot showers. I could happily spend my life in the shower if I had unlimited hot water and no conscience :) What's yours?

Portion sizes are EVIL
Hey everyone, was just wondering if anyone else struggles with stopping at a recommended serving? 'Cos to be honest... if I open that block of chocolate there isn't gonna be any stopping at 4 squares. Actually, that kinda sums it up. Who else out there finishes the packet? And how do you stop?

HELP! Remedial dating advice...
Hey... so, I'm going to admit to being totally lame here. I've never had a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend for that matter : ) I've never really had any attention from guys for a variety of reasons- I was a late bloomer, being overweight, being unbelievably shy, the list continues on and on... Anyways, I now find myself at the…

any cooks or chefs about?
Hey... so, at the moment I'm the cook on a small farm in Italy. I cook healthily, but vast amounts (which I can deal with) BUT ( a big but... and butt) I also have to bake pastries and desserts every day as well. And I have the sweetest set of fangs in the world. How on earth do you deal with this? I just do not have the…

Breaking the habit of food rewards
Hey everyone... one thing I've been struggling with is rewarding myself with food. Getting through that last 15 minutes of jogging, or finishing a long hike and then having an enormous piece of cake. Any strategies that you've come up with?

Any other cooks/bakers out there? Hikers too.
So, I've been on MFP for almost three weeks and have only just gotten around to introducing myself. At first I just wanted to keep track of what my body was doing, but the forums are so great that I wanted to start using the site properly. You guys are so inspiring! I've always struggled with my weight and gone up and down…
