Thinking about giving up? Cheating? Need encouragement?

I looked and felt great. I wasn’t at my goal but I was getting there quickly and was bound and determined to get there. At the same time,…

4'11" - can't find clothes anywhere.....help
Hi. I'm a new mommy finally ready to loose the weight for good. I'm 4'11" and weigh 179. My biggest problem is that NOTHING fits me. I try on a large or XL or even an XXL and it's too long, huge everywhere, but is too tight around my belly - the biggest part of me right now. This has always been a problem for me, even…

I know I shouldn't be bummed (because I'm changing my lifestyle and all...) but I'm really :brokenheart: and :mad: . I am currently at 170 which is where I started in July. Just last week (on Wednesday) I was down to 164 which is a number I haven't seen in years. I was so proud of myself and felt incredibly motivated and…

Burning feet while "ellipticizing"
Does anyone else have this issue on the elliptical? It's like the balls of me feel almost "fall asleep" when I'm ellipticizing. I try wiggling my toes around and lifting my feet up to no avail. I also have tried shifting my weight to my heels.... no relief there either. The dull pain and discomfort is totally distracting…

New'ish' to MFP - looking for friends and support system :-)
Hey there - I've been on MFP for 7 months, however, I have been seriously using it for about the last 2 months or so. I really enjoy how it works! I feel so much more accountable and have started seeing some progress. Not a lot, but some, which is better than none I suppose! My weight has always been something that I've…
