21 pounds lost! Pics included...hopefully :P
Hi MFP community! This is my first time posting pictures so I really hope it works. I am 23 years old. I started off at 228-230 pounds(103.8 kilos) and I began my weight loss journey in March 2012. I went to the gym for 2 months but I developed some health issues along the way(plantar psoriasis and endometriosis) so I had…

NSV!
My form of exercise has mainly been walking to office with a heavy bag that contains a laptop. So yesterday I grab the bag and it didn't feel heavy at all. I obviously thought I forgot to pack my laptop in...but it was already there! Either I am getting stronger or my laptop's getting lighter...haha :D

5'4"/Female/207 pounds. How much do you eat?
Hi MFP community! Any people with stats similar to mine...could you please tell me how much you eat in a day? And also how much you lose on an average? I started off at a MFP-set number of 1430. Saw the famous Road Map topic and realized I was eating too little, so I bumped up to 1530. My BMR is supposed to be 1700-ish. I…

Exercise Options
Hi, I started at 228(HW). Joined MFP at about 220 and I am now 209...so close to one-derland :D I have always had very sensitive feet(I have plantar psoriasis and eczema) and if I put too much pressure on them, which isn't tough because I am this fat/obese, I get these horribly deep cuts that take days to heal. Till now,…

How long does it take your body to adjust?
Hi, I have been on MFP since July but I committed to it only in September. My starting weight was about 100 kilos(5' 4") and I have lost about 9 pounds with an intake of 1400-1430(this is what MFP set for me). However, I calculated my BMR and it turned out to be 1700 so I thought I'd up my intake to 1650-1700 atleast. I am…

Is this even an NSV?
I have lost about 7 kilos now...3 after joining MFP. Went from 104 to 97. And my ultimate goal is 70 kilos. Sigh seems so far away. Anyway, the other day I was trying to put on my shoes while standing. And I realized...I didn't fall over. Neither did I need to hold the wall to support myself. I just put them on and then I…

Are looks all that matter?
Hey guys...I am 23, fun, adventurous and have a great sense of humour...am I allowed to say that about myself? :P My question is...till now no guy has ever shown an inkling of interest in me. I mean...I am not desperate or anything, but is it all about the looks? I know I am not Penelope Cruz or anything(oo la la) but I am…

Am I losing very little?
Hi guys. I started my weight loss journey sometime in April. I went to the gym religiously for about 2 months, worked out really hard but had little or no control over my diet. Sometime in July I found MFP. And I started logging. That's when I realized how much I was eating! Anyway, now my net intake is about 1400-1500 and…

LADIES! Very long period?
Hey ladies I could really use your help. I am 23 and I weigh 98 kilos. Up until now, I have never faced any problem regarding my TOM. Heavy bleeding but it gets over in about 5 days. However, since I started losing(5 kilos in 3 months) I have noticed my period is getting heavier and longer. Infact, my last period and my…

NSV...one I love :D
So I started at 104 kgs. Down to 98 kgs. It has taken me quite some time...3 months to be precise. But hey, what the heck...progress is progress, even if it's at snail pace. Anyway, my NSV is...I can see my collar bones :D And I don't have to strain to see them. They stand out! Hooray!

How do you keep going?
I have been on MFP for a grand total of 10 days. I check the scale everyday and 3 days back I saw that I had lost 3 pounds...that is, in a week! I was ecstatic! However, when I checked the scale yesterday(I am a compulsive scale checker lol) I saw that I have gone up a pound. Now, I know weight fluctuates with water…
