One Year on MFP (with pics)
I posted this on my blog..but I think one solid year of healthy choices deserves a forum post too IMO :-) Tuesday marked the exact day I logged onto MFP for the first time. 365 days of change. I remember the events leading up to my "enough is enough" moment like they were yesterday. I was overweight, always tired and…

My Journey in Pictures
Good Morning MFP! I put together a photo timeline of my body since I started MFP almost a year ago. I lost about 15lbs and stalled before starting MFP and I've lost almost 30 more since :-) I love the way I look now but I've gained SO much more. Eat less..move more..so simple..but it took me FOREVER to get it. I started…

Major NSV!!!
MEGA NSV for me today!!! Just for fun tried on my goal jeans this morning..my 7 For All Mankind jeans that I got Summer 2008 and haven't been able to fit in for almost 3 years. THEY FIT!!! No muffin top, no obscene tightness!!! I didn't think that would ever happen! They're 4 sizes smaller than the jeans I was wearing when…

Dress Difference
It's a slow day at my office and I was looking through my best friend's wedding pictures from her wedding in June. I was her Maid of Honor. I'm stuck in a plateau right now but there is a silver lining..I've made progress. Here's me at her wedding and me last weekend out at a play..I can see a little bit of a difference..I…

Just Needed to Vent
The woman who sits behind me at work is rude in general. Lately she's been mocking me for making healthy choices. Today my work is catering in Olive Garden for our "holiday lunch" (I say that in quotations because they won't let us stop working to eat it). I'm not even a fan of Olive Garden, so I brought my own lunch. The…

The Plateau From Hell
HELP :-( I've been stuck at 158lbs or somewhere close to there for almost a month. I'm getting reallllly frustrated. I started this site at 174lbs in August so I've made progress..and I hate to see it stop.. I've been good about tracking calories (and even when I don't I make good choices). I've upped the time on my…

Lunch Time Small Victory
Having lunch with Mom today..she suggested Panera. I've spent 30 minutes planning what to order to not blow my day and I've done it. Chicken Cobb Salad, No cheese, no bacon and substituting the light buttermilk ranch for the high cal dressing they usually use (250 cals and not bad or carbs and fat at all!) :happy: . The…

HRM Issues!!
My HRM keeps tweaking out..it doesn't start right away when I hit start..it doesn't find my heart rate for like 5 minutes..which messes up how many cals I've "burned" . It doesn't do it every time but it's frustrating. Anyone else have this problem? Have any suggestions? I have a Polar F6.

Hi, I'm Shannon
:smile: I'm 26 and I'm in the middle of my weight loss journey. I joined Weight Watchers but my results slowed and I felt it was time for a change in website and what I was tracking. I weighed 188 lbs in December so I'm about halfway to my goal. My biggest challenge I think will be continuing to improve my workout…
