Weight Loss Hypnosis?
Hey All! I have been doing weight loss hypnosis CD every day for almost a week (the program requires you wait 2 weeks to weigh yourself so I am eagerly and curiously awaiting Tuesday Feb. 25!) so I can't say for sure it is working or not.. However, I am using this because I am a recovering emotional binge eater. Hypnosis…

Losing Weight When...(Need Advice!!)
You are in a "normal" BMI... My first 40 lbs came off so easy, by eating what I wanted in moderation, with some working out and mainly just with walking everywhere.. It took a while, but it came off and I could still enjoy my life without being very strict at all... But now that I am down to this weight, and I guess my…

Does hard Exercise...?
Cause extra water retention? I have had a busy busy weekend, we have been rebuilding our deck, so on top of doing my daily jillian and jogging in place through at least one tv show a day, I spent 4-6 hours each day since Friday lifting heavy boards and using muscles I didnt even know I had. On last week's episode of…

BMR and minimum Calories..
Ok all, apparently I am not as "off' my plateau" as I thought, my almost 2 lb loss was just part of the fun as this week with good eating and exercise (also unfortunately TOM--who just left and may still be the cause of this) I am up 1 Lb! Which has prompted me to ask this.. I eat 1200 a day, usually around 1350 when I…

30 LBS Gone (pics)
I am me, so I don't really see the difference much, I feel much ,much much better, but I thought 30 might be a good milestone to post some pics and see if others can tell a difference.

Lower Body?
So, with 27 lbs gone, it seems like it must have all come from my top half, because even though I am in size small tee shirts, and a 7 in most dresses, my pants size is STILL at an 11/13. I know people say that area is the last to fall off, but I was wondering if there are any exercises or tricks that people have found…

This horrible junk is everywhere! And I KNOW is horrible junk, my logic is telling me to run the other direction so WHY WHY WHY do…

Meat?
Does cutting out meat really help with health and weight loss? I have heard both sides of the arguments, but was wondering from people who had tried it first hand?

Mucho Gracias Finland!
So I have just finished (as in hop on a plane tomorrow) a full month and 4 days living in Finland with my dearest friend. I have counted calories only one day (to make sure I was on track) and exercised not because I was forced to or forced myself.. most of the time because it was FUN (something I NEVER NEVER think). I had…

CRUMBS
Ok, so I was a member over the summer, and it did wonderful things for me... Since then, I switched jobs (I now work at Crumbs which is a DELICIOUS bakery in NYC) and have been moving from Brooklyn into manhattan and just dealing with MANY MANY MANY other things. Needless to say I fell off the wagon BIG TIME. I didnt even…

Who Knew??
When you are used to being on this site logging everything you eat and how often you exercise, one week without the internet is incredibly difficult.. And I regret to say, I binged a little. But I am so glad to be back on here, and getting everything back on track. :D

I am currently on vacation to visit my family, and within seconds of walking in the door, there was a caramel cake practically placed in my hands. True, I did not say no.. BUT my question is, what is a POLITE way I can make them understand that I am serious about eating healthy this time, and don't want their junk food,…

Skinny *****?
Ok, so I read the book Skinny *****... and it sounds ideally wonderful, and I am sure it makes people very healthy.. but is there anyone out there who actually follows the book? Is it setting unrealistic standards of eating? My biggest worry is that I do not cook well...

Support needed!
Hey there MFP, Ok, so I'm 21 and I weigh 185 lbs. That number is not something I am proud of or OK with, but my family and friends insist that I look fine the way I am, and shouldn't worry about my weight at all. But I know that my eating habits are aweful, like really aweful. For example, today I have eaten a cheeseburger…
