Starting Over After Grief
Hey everyone! So around this time two years ago, when I was 20 years old, I was incredibly motivated and doing very well at living a healthy lifestyle. Within around 6 months, I went from 238 to 193, and I was feeling pretty great. Losing the weight more slowly at that point, because that's what happens as you get smaller,…

Looking for HONEST friends to start over.
Hello again MFP. So I've got quite the back and forth streak, and what I REALLY need is someone who's going to be honest and up-front with me about my habits. In return, I'll be honest right back. Last year, I lost about 25 pounds (though I was already down about 15-25 pounds from my starting weight which was, I believe,…

Anyone struggling with emotional eating?
So I'm trying to get started again. My weight has yo-yo'd more than anyone that I know, and it's time to bring it down and keep it down. When I got down to 192 back in June, I told myself I'd never be over 200 pounds again, yet here I am, 207 pounds and feeling terrible about my body. A little back story might help,…

Grief and getting back on track
Hey all, So I've been struggling these past few weeks with staying on track. If you checked out my diary right now, it wouldn't tell you much because I rarely ever log EVERYTHING I eat anymore.

So I finally got to my first goal weight last week (199 lbs--I actually weighed in at 198.4 lbs). I was super excited and motivated. To "celebrate," I guess, I ate at what is SUPPOSEDLY close to maintenance, but NOT over. I ate probably around 1800 calories that day, as opposed to the 1400 I was normally eating (while…

What's your favorite COMPLIMENT since starting?
Let's get some POSITIVITY from family/friends. :) So I finally broke my 2-month plateau this week, and I've been feeling great as is. Those 2 months weren't wasted--I actually gained a bit of muscle, so that running doesn't hurt my calves or my ankles anymore. But anyways... I was with my sister-in-law and she looked at me…

New, and looking to lose BIG.
Hey. :) I'm new, and looking for all the support I can get. :) In return, I promise I'll offer up the same support right back. A little about me: I'm 18, and still in high school with a 4.5 GPA. I'm attending the local cal state next year with a double major, so my life is hectic. I'm (well, obviously) from California, but…
