Kicked the Caffiene Habit!
I'm feeling pretty upbeat today. I'm at a month and a half since I had my last soda. I started out with a 2 liter a day Mountain Dew habit and now all I drink is water and sparkling water! And juice occasionally. I think the hardest part was the calorie drop. My body thought I was starving it without the Dew. I had to…

Weather
There is a nasty weather system moving through where I live right now. I could barely move when I woke up this morning. Does anyone else cease to exist when bad weather comes through?

Dreaded Desserts.. Daunting dishes done deliciously!
I got a little carried away on the Subject. But we all know that pang, the urge to have some tasty little sweet. For those of us trying to lose weight it's a terrifying siren's call that threatens our balance on the wagon. For those of us trying to gain weight, it's a perilous food topic, wondering if it's "good" calories…

Saw a photo of myself having lost 20lbs
So, I'm down a total of 21 lbs. which I didn't think would make a big difference, then I saw a photo of myself from Tuesday evening. I may be the only one who can see the difference but I am proud of myself. So here's the shot, we were getting dressed for a prohibition era murder mystery dinner. Start weight - 250lbs…

Trying not to get excited
So, I'm 20lbs down. I'm trying not to get excited. But this morning I pulled out a shirt I haven't worn in a bit. At my largest I had to move this shirt to the back of the wardrobe because it pulled and you could see between the buttons. Today, it doesn't pull at all! I'm sort of frustrated though, because just before I…

Assistance with calories/day please!
I know we're all really good at hazing conversations when we get into the good and bad of Calories. So please, be patient. I've been expirmenting with my calories and eating trying to find a sustainable pattern for my weightloss. And for a little bit, I was aiming to eat 1500 calories a day and discovered I was having to…

Fibro and sickness
Having a rough day today. I was sick yesterday and today I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Does anyone else lose their appetite when they are having a high pain day?

SO trying to gain weight.
Hey, my SO is 6 feet tall (183Cm) and weighs 118lbs (54Kg). He's trying to put on weight. He wants to get to 140lbs (64Kg). I'm currently trying to lose weight so our dinners are quite entertaining these days. We're doing fine with balancing foods when we are eating at home. Our problem is that he works 8-9 hours a day,…

Carrrrrrrrbbbbbs
I had cut out most of my carbs recently, not all the way or anything. I just limited it because it was a lot of calories for not a lot of food. I've been eating mostly veggies and fruits and cheese and things like that. I didn't particularly miss bread and such. The thing is, Sunday through this morning, I've eaten more of…

Adding Exercise (Do you have an app for that?)
So, I've started this weight loss Journey. I kicked it off pretty nicely with a 10lbs drop because I stopped drinking soda. That loss is now petering out and it's down to the good old grind of getting my focus up. I decided that I need to add exercise into the mix, not only to help the loss along, but to tone and get my…

100 lbs to lose and time is not on my side.
I'm 5ft 5in as of the last time a doctor made me press my heels against a wall. When I started this journey I weighed more than I ever had before, a whopping 250lbs. I'd been on MFP for a while, but I just started focusing on my life since the end of february. I feel like I am making real, sustainable changes. I finally…

That jerk friend.
So, I've been quietly changing my life. Not mentioning it to anyone, I totally quit drinking soda (when I started over a year ago I was drinking a 2 liter of Mt. Dew a day minimum). And in the last couple of weeks I've really buckled down for the dietary changes. I haven't been able to get to the gym yet regularly. I feel…
