I wish life had a DVR button...
...so I can look back on the way I feel right now and use it to kick my own *kitten*. I've been super slacking at working out and eating for the last couple months and the scale shows it. I went to the gym this morning prepared to get back on track... And my god...that first workout after you've been slacking is like…

Halfway there (with photos)
Hey, MFP friends! I am sure I am not alone in that I'm feeling a little "grr, holiday weight!" recently. Which is my own fault, but still. A friend recommended I put two photos next to each other to see how far I've come, so I thought I'd share it here. MFP SW - 232 (heaviest was 243) Before picture weight - probably high…

Home workouts in an apartment
Do any of you have suggestions for DVDs or other workouts (other than yoga) that don't have any jumping or anything that would cause the guy below me to get mad? He's actually a pretty chill guy, but the people below him have a newborn and if I started jumping around...if I were him I'd be pretty irritated. I can sometimes…

NSV: Running into the ex...
Ran into the ex this week. He couldn't stop telling me how good I looked and how he almost didn't recognize me, and on and on, ending with him asking me out to dinner. I was holding back laughter the entire time because, while I know I still have a long way to go, I wanted to be like, "DAMN RIGHT I look good...too bad you…

NSV: Jeans!
I don't wear jeans that much anymore, so even though all of my clothes are firmly in the "regular" sizes now, I still had 2 pairs of jeans that I bought last year that were plus size (on the small end, but still had that damn W after the number). I put off trying on jeans because a) I hardly ever wear them and b) I didn't…

Swimming 101: what do I need to know?
I'm a little late to the game, but I made the decision to finally learn how to swim. I am a TOTAL beginner - I don't even know how to float. I emailed the aquatics director at my gym and she is setting me up with someone for private lessons, but before I go... What do I need? Swimsuit, obviously - any recs? I haven't…

I know you can't spot lose weight, but...
Seriously, this fat roll on the top half of my stomach is bothering me! I know, keep at it and it will disappear over time. But right now it's the only thing on my body that is not getting smaller and it just sticks out and I feel very self-conscious about it. Just venting. I'm sure some of you feel my pain.

Feeling good, and then...not so much?
Have you ever been feeling good about your weight loss, and then had a day where you just felt like you'd made no progress at all? I'm down 11 pounds (6 since starting MFP) and I've been feeling good. Clothes are fitting better, noticing small changes, etc. I had a wedding this weekend and felt like I'd GAINED 30 pounds in…
