We all want what we don't have.
The other day, my friend came out of a convenient store, and was complaining at the fact that women are constantly attracted to him. He has a good physique. I can see attributes that women find physically attractive. It drives me nuts to hear this from someone. I dont think he has any clue what it means to be on the other…

Body building, protein/nutrition &supplements. Advice?
Okay, I have been on MFP for a little over a hundred days. I've learned how to maintain a balanced diet. I very rarely will binge eat anymore. I have changed what I eat as well. I'm cooking more than ever. I get this. I believe I have my nutrition down, but I know there is this whole world of supplements, and protein…

102 pounds lost. Still not enough.
I swear. Losing weight is great, but it doesn't mean **** in this world where we face fierce competition from much more attractive guys in the dating world. I'm not losing motivation. I still work out 5-6 days a week, and eat pretty healthy, but I had to let go of the one I was with, and now face the world alone for the…

Fitting clothes I never thought I would ever fit again.
I had a box of clothes that I kept. Sizes range from 36 waist Tommy jeans, 38 Pepe Jeans London pants, 40 Gap jeans, 40 Khaki slacks, some brand new 2x Tommy button up shirts. I have lost so much weight that I have actually shrunk beyond the 2x shirts and been in 1x for a while. Those size 40s are fitting loose. Not quite…

Looking for very active friends
It says it all. Looking for very active friends. No half stepping it. I work hard, play hard, and train hard. Looking to add some people with similar attitudes.

Finding stuff on the go that's Paleo.
Okay, today, I left my pre-made lunch at home. Bummer. I'm going Paleo with my diet, but sometimes finding stuff on the go that's Paleo is damn near impossible. I know fresh fruits and veggies are easy stuff, but Pre-cooked meats? It's damn near impossible. Everything has Soy in it. If you have ideas as to what I can get…

Too fat to ride roller coasters at theme parks.
Not too long ago, I bought a year round pass for myself, and my girlfriend bought one for her and her son to Busch Gardens, Tampa, FL. We had a wonderful time looking at the animals. I ended up walking up to Shreekra. They have a seat at the beginning of the line to make sure you can fit the seat. Boy I was not squeezing…

Anyone not consuming less cals on days they don't work out?
Hello, I have changed my diet over a Paleo lifestyle, and strength training to crush my plateau. I still include cardio in this lifestyle as well. I run, and road cycle. So far, I've been able to keep the loss going. Since I lost 70 pounds(49 here on MFP), I notice that I'm not that hungry anymore on days I don't workout,…

On day of binging = one week of recovery.
The other day, I had one hell of a bad day with binging. I swear I ate the house out of food. Okay, maybe not the whole house, but you get my point. The very next day, we do this over the top potluck. All the food was spread out on tables right behind my desk. We even had a whole cooked suckling pig there. I'm saying, it's…

What's the dealio everybody?!
Hello everyone. I started this journey of weight loss recovery back in April of this year. I lost about 20 pounds by myself, but fell stagnant. Since I got on MFP full steam (95 days ago), I have lost 44 more pounds. 65 total. I still have about 113 to go before my goal of 185. I'm a third the way there. This site, along…

Can someone with a thyroid condition still lose weight?
I have a family member who has a thyroid condition. They have been over weight as long as I can remember. I'm trying to get them on here with me, but they make up every excuse including their thyroid condition. Can anyone share their experience who has this condition and their weight loss success?

You are beautiful
If you are a healthy weight, you are beautiful. If you are overweight, you are beautiful with a built in winter coat. If you are under weight, you are beautiful and have survived the long summer days. If you are a healthy weight, and you body build, you are beautiful, and carried everyone else with you. Remember, you are…

Calories, and the food choices we make to fill them.
I just want to say I am a mostly reformed person. I once was in a weight loss program called Shapedown when I was 10. I lost 10 pounds over 10 weeks. (134-124). I swear I was the best kid in that class. When I stopped going to the meetings, I was able to maintain 125 for a 3 month check, but not losing weight. I used to…

First 50 lbs gone YAY ME !!!
Hello all. I have achieved my first 50 lbs gone. I started this project back in April of 2012. I was 357 at my highest. My girlfriend was on the verge of breaking up with me, and I don't blame her. I worked my butt off, and achieved some success, got down to 329, bounced back up to 336, 341, back down to 336 when I was…

So the life changing transformation has begun.
Hell everyone. Let me say this. I have been obese all my life. At one point, I did reach a healthy weight, but it was not the correct way. Back in 1999/2000, I eventually reached 185 lbs. I never felt better. Something bad happened, and I lost everything in my life. Depression set in, and so did the weight gain. I reached…
