My One Year Progress- Almost 80 Lbs Down! Pic Heavy!!
I'm not gonna pre-face this with a lot of text. I've posted some success stories during my 1 year of weight loss, most of which were pretty wordy, so I'm gonna let this one speak for itself. I will say though that I'm incredibly amazed in myself and what I've been able to accomplish... I'm young but I have started a weight…

Chair Gym- Anyone tried it?
https://www.chairgym.com/EMCG/22.0000/Index.dtm The video starts playing automatically for some reason but does anyone have any experience with one of these? I saw it at the store I work at and was curious. A gym membership is not an option for me so I was wondering how close this would come to strength training?

Last Ditch effort to get the scale moving again. Thoughts?
After going from losing 2lbs a week to not having lost anything in the past 2-3 months, I'm doing a last ditch effort to get my weight loss back on track. My diary is open and for the past week or so I have concentrated my efforts on eating closer to my goal without eating back my exercise calories. I have just adjusted my…

MFP Settings really low for me? What should I be at?
I've been adjusting my own goals for a little while now because eating the 1200 calories a day that MFP sets for me sounds nuts, with 55% carbs, 25% protein and 20% fat. I still have 65 lbs to lose to get to my first "trial weight" goal so I'm not really sure why it's setting me so low? Currently it's set at 1650 calories,…

Common Prices for 2kg Whey Protein Powder?
I'm trying to figure out what brand to buy, but I'm on a relatively fixed budget (not employed currently). Is $40 for a 2kg tub a pretty reasonable price, or should I look online for something else? Also, which is more versatile chocolate or vanilla as far as not only shakes but baking/other recipes? I'm new to this whole…

65 lbs down and Half-way to goal! Pics!!
Although the past month has shown me no progress as far as the scale goes despite eating at a deficit (come ON scale!) I'm still really proud of how far I've come in such a short period of time. 9 months and 65lbs down... crazy! I'm hoping in the new year to be around 100lbs down, if I can ever get past this plateau!…

Ugh... this really &^#*es me off!
http://www.oddee.com/item_98687.aspx This is one of my favorite "time wasting" websites... so when I go there today I see this Fat celebrating article basically saying that if you're fat you're pretty much invincible. Actual quote from the article: So, the next time anyone tells you that you're getting fat, just look…

65lbs Gone! Half-way to goal!!!
Not the most flattering of photos, but was feeling a bit depressed this morning so needed some self-motivation. I haven't taken any full body shots lately, but I should do that soon. I'm 65lbs down and half-way to my first goal of weighing 150lbs for the first time since highschool. I don't know if I will stop there, but…

...MFP Suddenly switching to German?
lol I logged in this morning to "amyuniversal hat sich 185 Tage lang hintereinander angemeldet!" Which as far as I can figure says "amyuniversal has located 185 days in a row logged in!" so, not even their translation is completely correct. Guess they're reminding me of my heritage :)

Loose Skin :( Help!
I'm trying to lose weight slowly to avoid sagging skin, and haven't had much of a problem with it until all of the sudden my chest has a lot of extra skin. I'm only 23, and it's absolutely mortifying.. I can't wear anything with a lower neckline or anything tighter across the chest because you can see the skin bunching up.…

Anyone else have trouble eating at least 1200?
I have a big problem in the summer with forcing myself to eat at least 1200 calories, when my goal is 1520. Most days I don't make it to 1200.. usually end up around 1100 or a little less. Even when I exercise which is becoming much more frequent, I struggle to eat 1200 plus at least some of my exercise calories. I ate a…

Losing Weight, Yet More Pain?
Has this happened with anyone else? I'm 23 but I have a long history of back, hip and knee problems along with arthritis that are genetic but were exacerbated by being overweight. When starting this, I assumed that the more weight I lost, the better my joints and hips would feel but it's actually the opposite. I know I am…

Twice Baked Potatos! SOOO Good!
Just look at it, so beautiful with it's potato-y goodness! It was very simple to make, and would be easy to substitute other vegetables and meats into. Around 300 calories, 21g protein, 10g fat and 45g carbs. Ingredients! 1 or more small - medium russet potatoes (150 calories each) 2 slices turkey bacon (around 70…

50lbs Gone In 5 Months! Pics!
I'm so excited! I have lost 50 lbs (well, 49 as of Monday but with all my exercise and good eating yesterday I'm sure I'm up to 50 by now) in 5 months! I never thought I would be able to lose even 10 lbs.. never knew how to begin. All I did was log on MFP every single day, and log honestly. I still allow myself junk food…

Hit a Plateau, almost 40 lbs gone, but so much more to Lose!
I still have 90lbs to lose to be where I want to be, but I keep going in this weird cycle. One week I stay the same or gain like 0.2 of a pound, up my exercise level and eat super healthy the next week to make up for it and manage to lose 2 more lbs, and then the week after while doing the exact same things as the week…

Something no one tells you about Losing Weight.
Chairs are NEVER as comfortable as they were when you had extra padding >.< It feels like my tailbone is sitting directly on the chair now and it hurts! I didn't realize this chair was so crappy before. What are some other things you didn't realize would happen??

Almost 3 months and 30 lbs down!
I'm so excited that for once in my life I can finally stick with something that works for me. When I put on clothes that I haven't worn in a while and they're way too big it feels amazing. I can't wait to continue on and lose more!!

12+ pounds down and 2 pant sizes! 2!!!!!
Just had to share because I literally jumped around for about 10 minutes when I looked at this pair of pants and said to myself "these are NOT going to fit" and then slide them on with no problem what-so-ever. No wonder I couldn't keep the old pair up.. they were 2 sizes too big!! Plus since the pair that does fit is an…

Ladies- Best sports Bra for medium impact & larger chest?
I'm quite chesty (DDD) and am having trouble finding a sports bra that will fit that is within my price range. All the ones around here are around $89 - $120 before taxes. Can anyone recommend a good one that is around $20 - $45 that will fit and is encapsulation rather than compression? Thanks!

Is it selfish to admit to being proud of yourself?
I joined this website on December 27th after feeling so miserable and upset with myself for what I had been eating over the holiday and how big I've let myself become. I have tried dieting several times over the years. The earliest I can remember feeling like I needed to lose weight was in 4th grade.. I have never had…

Any Canadians around, looking for friends/support?
Hi! I'm a 23 year old living in Atlantic Canada and am wondering if there is anyone out there who is also from around here that would like to be friends and support each other in our goals. I'm new to this but I honestly think that with some support from others who know what I'm going through will help me a lot in sticking…
