How to handle breweries?
I am pretty sure a decent portion of my weight-gain relapse has been from brewery hopping. How do you all handle social drinking? I live in a town that is flooded with great breweries, my boyfriend and friends, as well as our families, love to go and get at least 2 drinks over a couple hours, sometimes more. Recently I…

Lost 70+ pounds, gained back 25+ and don't know where to start again!
Hey everyone! I am looking for some friends to motivate me along this new journey. Back in 2012/2013, I was in my late teens and weighed in at around 220 lbs. Over the next few years, as I went to college and adopted a new lifestyle, I got down to the high 140s. At that time, I was spending 2 hours at the gym, was only a…

18 months - 62 lbs - 20 more to go (or something like that)
Hey everyone! I posted a while back when I had lost almost 40 lbs (back in January) and now I have officially lost 62. I got my motivation to start losing weight from this forum, so I hope that my pictures can inspire some of you! I'm 19 and 5"1, and I'm a full time college student. I live on a major budget and not a lot…

40 pounds lost in 1 year - over halfway there!
In January 2013 I set out to finally start losing weight. I honestly doubted that I would be successful, seeing as I would be graduating high school and starting college all in the same year. I had tried before, but I never seemed to stick with it. I have also been heavy all my life, so having that in the back of my mind…

When I first started I logged every day and then slacked off and quit. I still lost, but not as much. Now I am back to logging…

Losing Weight in a College Cafeteria?
Next week is my second semester at college, and I'm going back with a different game plan. I wanted to come here, though, and ask if any of you have had any experience eating healthy/losing weight when dealing with university dining halls. I managed to lose about 15 pounds my first semester to add on to what I lost this…

If I haven't needed a HRM yet, do I need one now?
Hello all. In 2013 I was able to lose 40 pounds on my own - no HRM, no DVD's, none of that, just trying to eat better and exercising regularly. I still have about 30 pounds to go, and I'm realizing that the more I lose, the harder it is to lose more. So, I figured I would try out a Polar FT4 HRM. I haven't bought it yet…

Anybody Use Wal-Mart Protein Powder?
Hey all! I'm back on MFP now (old username was renahope... ha) and I've decided to change some things around this time. Protein powder. I need to get started on this, but seeing as I'm heading off to college in August I don't think that I want to swing $50 bucks on a bucket of protein powder just yet. Today while I was at…
