Losing Weight for a Wedding
Hi! I started MFP in 2012 and lost around 60 pounds doing so. I got divorced, met the most wonderful man, and gained 20 pounds back. I don't want to lose all of it but am looking to lose 15 pounds before the wedding May 4th of this year! Nothing like waiting last minute. I started a week ago and lost 7 pounds the first…

feeling fat...Christmas blues
I have maintained for two and a half years. I fluctuate about five to seven pounds through out the year. I am in the higher part of that fluctuation right now and I feel REALLY fat. I know it is mindset and the fact I haven't exercised in ages. I am also going through a divorce so I am sure that doesn't help. How do you…

Hi All, I am going on my 7 year anniversary trip in a little over a month and I feel mushy and my jeans are getting tight.

I…

Retaining water, is it an issue?
I really think I have realized that my body can't get by with just 8 glasses of water. I really need 8-13 glasses of water a day. This is the second time I have used water to try to "heal" myself when I see my weight a little higher. I always feel so much better drinking more water and last time seen a loss, hoping for…

What Is Your Go To Food for a Meal?
I really like to make veggie omelettes made with one egg and half cup of egg substitute along with a ton of veggies and 1/4 cup of cheese. Usually around a 300 calorie feast and oh so good. I also like to do quesadilla's. I really like quick things when I am in a pinch for time or don't have much in my fridge. What do you…

Goals Not working on MFP?
No matter how much excerise I put in on my "goals" it calculates that I will lose 1.1 pounds a week. I can not work out at all to working out two hours a day for 7 days a week eating the same amount of calories and still shows that I will only lose 1.1 pounds a week. That is wrong, right?

I felt I was supportive and she was supportive of me. The only reason I could think that I lost her was that I was not eating all my…
