An update! And a personal challenge.
Well; after being gone for awhile, I've decided to update everyone. Though most of you probably don't know me from the boards all that much, I figure that any significant loss is motivational for those who are just starting the journey. :) My name is Erin; I began the journey to weight loss in March of this year after…

22 pounds gone!
Finally hit the 20+ pounds lost mark, setting a new LW record. :smile: Last year, I got down to 245 and gained it all back... but this time, I'm 240 and don't plan on going back up. :drinker:

Overcoming a Plateau - Help! :(
Well, since March I've lost 20 pounds; which I'm extremely happy for! But unfortunately, I've hit a snag. For about a week or two, I've hovered around the 242 lb mark. I'm glad I'm maintaining... but I desperately want to get back to losing again! Is there any way to jump start the loss again?

Sodium Issues
Okay; after tracking my sodium intake for a week or two, I've realized that this is my primary problem area. Day after day, I either come extremely close to overshooting the 2,500 sodium limit or go waaaaay over. Does anyone have any idea as to how to fix this problem that always rears its ugly head? Also... it's kinda off…

Just a question - Excess skin?
I haven't quite lost enough for this to be a problem, but I couldn't help wondering about it, seeing as it's pretty much inevitable. Has anyone here lost enough weight for excess skin to be a problem? How bad is it? I'm thinking that if I lose the weight I hope to lose... I'll need to get some health insurance and get…

Purevia
I can't get over how wonderful this calorie-free sugar is! If anyone hasn't tried it, I highly recommend it! :smile: It's not only limited to health food stores either. :wink:

Found the greatest snack today!
Frozen bagged fruit from walmart. Only 70 cals per cup, absolutely no sodium. :)

Resistance bands
Does anyone recommend these? And if so, what are the best ones to grab? I've been looking into getting some, but with so many choices... it's hard to decide.

A Question Regarding Running
Hello everyone! I figured that we have more than a few seasoned runners on MFP, so I figured that this would be the best place to ask a few questions. :smile: First off, I will admit that up until recently, I have never run much in my life. Or exercised really. It is only in the past month that I've woken up and snapped…

Working in a restaurant and dieting?
Is there any way to resist the urge of eating on the job? I know deep down that it is just setting me back... but I just can't seem to tell myself no to eating calorie-laden things at work. :frown: The guilt always hits me afterwards, though.

New! :)
Only found this site just recently by clicking on a ticker. Imagine that. Haha. My name's Erin; 22 years old and sick of not being able to wear "cute clothes and skinny jeans." I will get there someday! I only this month began exercising extensively after a life of being lazy. Haven't felt this good in a long time. :)
