Has anyone changed their goals?
When I was 251lbs, 150lbs sounded AWESOME. Now though, I think I want to go farther. I am going to keep my goal as is until I make it. (which will hopefully be about a month or so from now.) I randomly picked 150lbs because it sounded good. I am now thinking 130 - 135lbs. I am still going to celebrate when I hit the 150lbs…

Question about 30 day shread weight gain
So as the title suggests, I have now gained weight for 3 straight days and the only difference in my routine is I started the 30 day shread. Before anyone tells me the obvious, "you are building muscle and muscle is more dense than fat" I understand that. I am wondering if anyone else has gained weight from this program. I…

Small Success
This morning I weighed in at 169! I haven't weighed one sixty anything since I started high school. Only 19 more to go until my goal. This is just insane to me. I'm really doing it this time!

Scary, HAPPY, then pretty cool!
SCARY: I got up this morning around 05:30 to go to the gym and I heard my 8 month old son struggling to breathe. I internally freaked out and calmly and purposely got ready as fast as I could and took my son to the ER. Long story short, 7 hours, 6 breathing treatments and 2 doctors later, we were released with an inhaler…

Would you redo high school or college if you could be healthy/skinnier the whole time?

Silly Question
I have been very sick for the past 3 days. (still sick, but I think I feel like I am starting to get better) I took 2 whole days with absolutely no exercise. :( I think it is just a bad cold. Anyway, I have been taking a lot of medicine. Do any of you log medicine as food? I haven't eaten very much, but I know that it is…

Restaurant's want people to stay fat!
Sorry, that was a bit melodramatic, but to a degree I stand by it. I went to Chili's last night and asked the host for a copy of their nutrition information. It was sad, really. This isn't news to any body I know, but what's going on? My options for eating "healthy" are eating about 1/8 of one of their dinners or eating a…

Has anyone completed Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred?
I am looking to buy it. On amazon it has a couple thousand 5 star reviews. I probably will try it, but I am looking for people who have completed it as it advertised. Did it work? What were your results? Is it worth buying?

Confused by MILK
I really am confused by milk. I a lot drink 2% milk. I have a husband and 2 sons and we drink milk daily, almost every meal. I am troubled by the calories and basically all the nutrition info in milk. I am fairly new to this site and since I have been tracking what I eat I have been doing really well, except milk. The…

Phrases or sayings that really irk me!!!!
I want to try to say this as tactfully as I can because I know that different people find motivation in different places. For me, I really get miffed when I hear or read people say, "if I can do it, you can do it." Or any variation of that phrase. Most of the time I feel like I can't do it or it serves as anti-motivation…

You shouldn't eat that...
I don't know if this will help anyone, but I am hoping it will hit home to someone. I read in several posts that people want to eat something they "can't". Or, the feel that they shouldn't be eating something or feel bad after they eat something that is bad for them. I want to share what works for me. I don't think that it…

It's all on me now!!!
4 years ago I hadn't had any children yet. The lightest I ever remember weighing as an adult is 174lbs. I weighed this when I found out that I was pregnant about 4 years ago. AND TODAY, this morning, I weighed in and I officially weigh 174lbs again! From this point on I will never be able to say that I am heavy because I…

I tried on clothes last night **gasp**
Last night I went to the store and I wasn't going to buy any thing, but I wanted to see how I was doing. I picked up a size 12 dress and 2 different jeans size 12. (Wishful thinking) I knew I wasn't going to be able get the jeans zipped, but I felt I would be really happy if i could get them pulled up. That would have been…

Exercising 7 days a week.
Is it really that bad to start my day with an hour on the elliptical everyday? I wake up at 0530 everyday and I go to the gym and come home and get ready for work. I give myself a day or so "off" a month. Usually the days i don't go to the gym I have a bad day. I know that is probably a mental thing. But, my body doesn't…

Not Specifically Weight Loss Success But....
I had a break through this weekend. I live in Japan and am generally a day ahead of most people, so it is Tuesday morning here. I watched Oprah on Friday and her show was about the 5 things you need for this year or something like that. The 1st segment was with Dr. Oz and losing weight and getting healthy. My weight loss…

Standing = exercise?
I am a school crossing guard as part of my job and I was wondering if it can be considered exercise? I am on my feet for about 1 hour when school is let out, but I don't move that much. I am just guiding people and cars around the school. (I have a normal workout regiment in a gym and I am not looking to make exercise…

Weight loss or Fitness Books
I love to read, but I hate wasting my time reading bad books. (I usually feel that I need to finish a book once I start it.) Can anyone recommend a weight loss or fitness book that is a really good read? I have been looking around and can't find one that spins my brain wheels. Suggestions?

Repetative Calorie Burn Question
I have only been a member of MFP for about a month now and I have seen the question about eating back your exercise calories asked about 1 or 2 times a day. I know that there is a stick post that explains this, but is there anything else that can be done to stop the exact same question being asked over and over? Maybe when…

Smaller Ring Size
My wedding set has been pretty loose for a bit now, but recently I have been afraid that it was going to fall off. I finally made it to the jewelry store last night and I went from a size 8 1/2 to a size 7! I get to pick them up on Thursday and I am so happy!! My wedding set was a size 7 when I picked it out and I had to…

reaching out for motivation :)
I have been on this site for a couple of weeks now and the few friend that I have have given me a great deal of motivation. I was hoping to reach out to a few more. I am a married mother of 2. I am 30 years old and at the start of my journey needed to lose 101 pounds. I have 30 more pounds to go, but I don't think I will…

Awsome Hot Drink! (Not terrible for you)
I discovered Swiss Miss Sensible sweets and while ago, and about a week ago I added a peppermint tea bag and low and behold...It is Awesome! I know this can hardly be classified as a recipe, but it is a nice chocolate drink that only has 100 calories (if you use 2 packets like I do. 50 calories if you use 1 packet)…

Your Shape (Video Game)
Just got the Kinect today! Woohoo! I also got the game Your Shape. I am actually in the middle of a cardio kick boxing workout and I started thinking I needed to remember to log this exercise on MFP when I am done. It also got me thinking, who else has this game? Does it work/Has it worked for you? So far I like it, but it…

I seem to be stuck!
I have been at 183lbs for about a week now. I am so frustrated! I workout every day and eat pretty well. I have been losing at a decent pace but now I have just seemed to stop. What the heck is going on?
