Over 60 pounds down from 228 to 168!! Pics pics pics!
Hi MFP family. I have been on here since 2008 I believe, lurking, watching peoples success stories, and peeking through their diet journals. All without ever implementing any of what I was learning. I cheated, not faithfully logging the bad things I would eat. My weight went up and down but never did I ever take control of…

Do you think it makes a difference...?
I've been doing low carb interspersed with periods of ketosis for about 3 years now. I've lost 70lbs (even with a pregnancy tossed into those years) with 30 more to go til goal weight. When I do keto I find myself hardly ever hungry during the day and then trying to just make it to over 1000 cals when I have dinner . Is…

Anybody Else?
I'm the smallest I've been since high school (166 and 5'3) and I just want to run through all the stores in the mall lately and try on anything and everything I never could fit into before. It's definitely hurting my wallet a little but hey I really don't have any clothes that fit! (In a good way!)

NSV-I Can Share Clothes with My Bestie Now!! (pic added)
I've always envied my drop dead gorgeous best friend. Her heart is as beautiful as her face and I love her to pieces. When we met in college she was a size 5 and I was a size 16/18. I went up and down but never could we share clothes. Now we've been best friends for 10 years and hit our dirty thirties and we both weigh…

My First Goal Achieved Today...Onderland!!!
For the very first time since before I was pregnant with my first son in 2011 the scale reads below 200 lbs. and I just had my second son in December! I am eating low carb and have not yet begun to exercise but that's coming soon. I restarted my weight loss just over 3 weeks ago at 215 lbs and this morning my scale read…

Carb Cycling Without Exercise?
So I am very excited to announce I have hit my first goal weight of Onderland this morning weighing in at 199.2 (I'm 5'4) I lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks by eating low carb (Not induction low either just under 100 g per day) but each week I would inevitably have a "cheat" day and eat well over my carb limit. The day after my…

Eating while sick
Hi all, Just wondering what everyone's take is on what to eat when they're sick. I'm a low Carber but the past 2 days I've had a stomach bug and I ate crackers and drank coke and really just craved carbs to settle my stomach. Do you guys agree with following your sick cravings or stick to the plan no matter what?

I'm Starting to Slip....
I have been so dedicated and good for the past 50 + days but this past week I have been neglecting my logging, cheating more than I should and not exercising. I feel hopeless with this weight loss thing. Like no matter what I do I will be overweight like all the other women in my family. Always have a gut, fat touching…

Hi
Hello just joined the group and after having a binge session the other night after 45 days of being "good" I realized I have an emotional tie to eating and my immediate response to stress is to cram as much food in my mouth as possible until I feel sick and then of course feel horrible and disgusting for my lack of…

So Close to ONEderland!
I started a low carb (mostly) clean eating diet on February 8th after having scarfed down a whole bag of gummi bears before promptly going to bed. I woke up the next morning, looked at the bag that had about 5 gummis left in it, and felt so disgusted with myself. I threw what was left away and vowed that I was I going to…

2 Questions....
Hi MFP'rs I have 2 questions I'm curious about, First I found myself not all that hungry today and found my calorie intake for the day at only 500. I really do not feel hungry at all and my average daily intake is usually 1400-1750. I should also say that I am on a low carb clean (mostly) food diet, Lots of meat, veggies,…

NSV My "Fat" Pants Fit!!
I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy on January 15th of this year and when all was said and done I was 60 lbs heavier than before I was pregnant. Even before pregnancy I could stand to lose about 40 lbs so I was looking at needing to drop 100lbs. I am 30lbs down from January and I managed to squeeze myself into my jeans…

Losing inches but not lbs?
So for the past month and a half I've been hitting the gym pretty regularly (3x a week minimum sometimes more) and have been doing cardio and circuit training. Its only been for about the past 3 weeks that I've done very well staying within my calorie range (1200-1500) and I have seen no difference on my scale. I know I've…

I don't know how many calories I'm supposed to eat??
I have my calorie limit set to 1200 and sometimes I'm on target and other days I have between 1500-1600 which I'm fine with and I thought I was doing really well keeping to my goals but my weight loss has been very slow. I was on a website calculating what my intake should be and it said 1850 for average and 1700 for…

Planet Fitness Express Circuit
At PF there's a 30 minute express circuit kinda like what Curves has and I regularly do it on top of the elliptical, cycle, and treadmill but unlike the aforementioned I have no way of knowing how many calories I've burned on the circuit. Does anybody know? I could even substitute what a Curves workout burns if anybody…

evil sugarcookies!
I splurged at work today and wasted 570 calories on 3 awesomely delicious and evil sugarcookies. I don't feel too bad though seeing as this is my only holiday slip so far. What are your holiday "slips"?

Jillian Micheals The Shred
I just bought Jillian Micheals the shred dvd on Amazon and I should be receiving it within the next week. My question is what should I expect? I never watched the biggest loser but I've seen clips and it looks tough! I'm 5'4 and 180 lbs. I don't work out often but I'd really like to and definitley need to. I did curves off…

Bad day.
I am a total emotional eater and today for a variety of reasons is not a good day. I'm seriously restraining myself from chowing down on a bunch of chocolatey goodness that will temporarily soothe me til I realise what I ate and then feel worse than before. Does anybody know of any healthy mood boosting foods? So I guess I…

Night time sweet tooth
I need help controlling myself with night time snacking. I do so good all through the day and then at like 8:00 at night I'm overwhelmed by the urge to eat everything in sight particularly anything sweet and sugary. I don't know what triggers it but I'm wondering if there are things I can try to do to minimize the damage…

WTF!!!!??? (What the Fudgers!)
So it's my first day tracking and I was so gung ho to start this. I ate a super healthy breakfast (egg whites, fruit, cottage cheese) and soup for lunch and it's not even dinner yet and already my protein, sodium, and sugar are way over!! I'm severely disappointed and hungry :( What can I do to balance all these? Doesn't…
