6 Weeks - advice needed!
Eek! I ordered my bridesmaid dress last November and tried it on yesterday. The zipper goes about 3/4 of the way up. I have 6 weeks to get into this bad boy. I am reigning in my eating and had already begun that before I tried on the dress. I am adding in cardio. Lots of cardio. I go to my personal trainer twice a week for…

Frustrations - What does everyone do?
I had lost a little over 80lbs and was still doing good. 14 lbs from goal. Then I let myself use 'rona to slide off and gained 20 back. I am having such a hard time finding the motivation again. I went to put a dress on tonight and most of them no longer fit. I was furious with myself and I am hoping I can take that anger…

Excitement and Frustration
Let me start by saying, I have lost 56 lbs since November and I am ecstatic about it. I have not been at this weight since I had my first baby, who is now 15. I hope to hit my goal weight before I turn 35 this coming winter. I am struggling at seeing the number that I have lost now. How did I get to the point that I could…

The Shyness
I think that is why I love MFP so much. I can hide behind my computer screen and still be social. I have tried Weight Watchers but put in me in a group setting where I have to speak in front of people.... I die a million deaths each time. Once I am comfortable I don't shut up. I love talking to people getting to know…

Mid-Section

On the days I run I also do some weight machines focusing on lower body and the upper body on the days I do the bike. I do a…

Up all night
The only time I can make it to the gym is after 9... so 10/10:30 before I am home...by the time I clean up and unwind it is well after midnight and I am wide awake. Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix that without giving up my gym time???

New to running
Good Morning! I began training to run a 5k and I am using the Couch to 5K app. I am also in the process of losing weight and have been losing steadily. Does it make sense to lift weights on my off days? I am a little concerned with lose skin and had been doing some strength training prior to starting to run.

This time it is a journey
I have sporadically tried losing weight over the last 15 years. It has always been successful... for awhile, but I always end up going back to old ways and gaining back what I lost and then some. This time I am approaching it different. I allow myself to not be perfect. This last weekend was rough. I fell completely off…

Repeating to self "No Self Destruction"
Had a meeting with my coach this morning (Doing Profile diet). I am closing in on my goal for the end of March. This is the point where I start to get nervous. In the past I do well and hit my goals and then I self sabotage and everything implodes and off the diet I go. We set my goal for end of April and it will be tight…
