Vacation
I'm going on vacation on Friday; the first vacation since I started my weight loss journey. I want to enjoy myself and truly be on vacation, but I don't want to completely fall off the wagon. Its a beach vacation and we're renting a house. I have never watched my calories on our beach vacation before so I'm not sure how my…

Before/After with Pics
(eek this is nerve-wracking to do!) Before, July 18 2010, 162 lbs. After, July 15 2011, 128 lbs. I still have a little tummy I want to get rid of. But I think I pretty much met my goal.

Trying to Tone Up
If I want to tone, but I am happy with the weight I am at, should my calories be in "weight loss" mode or "maintaining" mode?

My pants literally fell off
I finally pulled out my clothes from last summer this past weekend. I threw on a pair of capris made out of, like, sweatpants material. And they literally FELL OFF OF ME!!!! Down to the floor, around my ankles. And I loved it.

I just got Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD. I was wondering, how do you record it on MFP? How many calories do you typically burn?

How do you react to people who don't support you?
Since I've lost weight, I've been getting a lot of reactions. Most people are supportive, tell me how great I look, ask me how I did it, etc. But some people are unsupportive, make nasty comments, and are rude! For example, my boyfriend's family starting questioning why I thought I needed to lose weight, how much I used to…

Now that you've lost some weight... what do you love about y
I have struggled with body image for years, and it is what spurred my weight loss journey in the first. Now that I have lost some weight (27 pounds!) and am within 5-10 pounds of my goal, I find that I am really starting love my body instead of being hypocritical. I love my... legs! I can't lie, when I'm at the gym on the…

Don't know what to eat, limited choices
I am currently away at college and most of my meals come from the dining hall. I have no choice in the matter. I do cook on weekends, and therefore can choose what I am going to eat, but that just isn't practical for everyday. Plus, since I'm required to have a meal plan, its a waste of money. Anyway, my dining hall is…

The scale hasn't moved, but the inches are still coming off!
I've been working on losing weight since the end of August. I started off great and quickly lost the weight. But I've stalled around 140 ever since the end of November. I was super frustrated. But I just bought new jeans--size four!!!!!!!!!! Even though the scale hasn't moved, the inches have still come off. I am so happy…

question for the ladies
A friend and I were discussing the other day how our menstrual cycles affected our weight. First, during a certain week every month, our weight inexplicably goes up and then goes back down again after. Since I weigh myself every week, I have noticed that this happens every single month, so I've attributed it to my…

Standing=Burning Calories???
I recently read online that just standing (like a work) burns between 3-10 calories per minute (depending on your weight, etc.). At work, I stand for almost my entire shift (anywhere from 4 to 8 hours) and I will be starting an internship on Monday where I will be standing for about 5 hours every day. Therefore, the…
