I have "only lost" ..... (Insert pounds here) BUT!
So many of us have a bad habit of saying, I have only lost 5lbs, 10lbs, 20lbs etc etc when we haven't hit our goal yet. I'm guilty of it too! So I was thinking we could encourage each other by playing a bit of a game and at the same time, remind ourselves of how far we have really come! Share your Successes behind your…

What does everyone use or recommend? What would you definitely NOT recommend? (Mainly looking for ear buds to work with my shuffle & my HTC. But post about whichever ones you love!)

May-June, Can you see a difference??? (Pics)
Hey All :) So I started hitting the gym 4/5x a week at the beginning of May when my Fiance joined. The top row of pictures were taken at 183lbs, and on May 1st. The second row were taken a few minutes ago, (June 8th?) and at 186/187lbs today. I've been feeling really frustrated as I've been bouncing between 183-188 all…

Does anyone else just feel desperate?

I know this is just water weight, and whatever and that it will be gone in a few days as per the usual, but I'm still really friggin upset. I just want…

Plateau Help needed :(
So, I lost my first 50 or so pounds purely by diet changes alone, maybe exercising slightly more than I did before but I certainly didn't join the gym. I didn't restrict calories in any way either, and have been tracking on MFP for only about 25 days straight now. I hit 181 for the first time back in Late March, and I…

Actual Honest Results from Eating More?
I am seeing a lot of people posting about making progress by eating MORE, whether eating their BMR or their TDEE - 15 or 20%. Apparently this is good for breaking a plateau, but I am curious about short and long term results. For those of you that did this, did you lose weight immediately, and consistently lose weight for…

NSV! Body Composition Win! (Ignore the scale!!!)
Just got dressed to go meet my Fiance at the mall, and I decided I would try on a top that I last wore about 4 years ago and about 15lbs lighter than I am now, (I think I was about 165lbs then, and right now I'm 181lbs) and..... IT'S TOO BIG!!!!! The last time I wore it I was constantly tugging it back down and pulling it…

Introduction!
Hello! I am very excited to find this group, I have been on MFP for, awhile, but haven't actually been using it to lose weight, and hadn't actually logged on for months before a few weeks ago when I decided out of curiosity to track my fat/protein/carb intake daily to see what I was actually eating.
