A handful of successes :)
Today makes my 100th day on MFP! I have lost 46 lbs. I started at 222. My goal is 150. When I started MFP I wore Large shirts, and some larges weren't big enough so I often bought XL's. I have been buying mediums and leaving them in the closet with tags on them because I knew I'd fit in them someday. Yesterday I was…

Day 57, 30 lbs down!
I am so pumped. Nearly half way to my goal. Not even two months into it. I credit it all to being obsessive. I nearly never go over my calorie goal. I will obtain from eating at a restaurant that doesn't accommodate my (plant-based) diet the way I prefer. MFP is such a great tool, and I promote it all the time. My goal is…

For the first time today, I felt like quitting...
I read posts all the time about someone gaining a pound or two and being upset because they thought they were doing so well. In my brain I say, condescendingly " Oh how little you know, gaining a lb happens all the time, don't obsess over it, you're being irrational." and then today I gained 1.5 lbs. And flipped out. I…

My first NSV
I used an elliptical machine today for the first time. Burnt 620 calories in 65 minutes (which as I understand it isn't a lot for 65 minutes on the elliptical...) I'll never be able to consume my remaining 1100 calories by the end of the night, but I'm excited just the same about my progress and actually going to a gym. I…

Newbie question
MFP has a caloric deficit built in for weight loss, I get that. Working out burns up some of those calories and can widen the deficit to an unhealthy level. We then are supposed to eat back those calories. Why then should we do the exercise? (I know people are going to respond with "to be healthy" but I am speaking…

I've lost 13 lbs in 10 days (starting weight was 222.2lbs.) is this too much? I'm haven't done anything extreme, just followed the 1740 calorie guideline the app gave me (which got lowered to 1600…
