Does your menstrual cycle affect your weight loss?
Sorry if this is a little TMI, but I am curious. I really started eating better/working out around the first of the year and I've lost 4 lbs. so far (which I am proud of!), but I was a little bummed this morning to weigh myself (I weigh in officially every monday morning) and not see any loss - actually a little gain. My…

Staying motivated after goal weight is reached?
Hey guys! I started my weight loss journey LAST January and hit my goal weight (down 50 lbs.) sometime back in October. It was quite a ride, but I accomplished what I set out to do and I'm happier than ever. Yay, right? Since October, I've basically spent the winter trying NOT to regain any weight, and struggling to become…

Before & During. 57 lbs. gone! *PICS*
Looking back at how far I've come, it's hard for me to believe even now that I've become what some would call a "success story". But that's exactly what I feel like. I never thought I would get here. (Also, sorry for the craptacular photos!) I've lost 57 lbs. total, but 45 since joining MFP 7 months ago. It's been a long…

Scentsy - Anyone a consultant?
I just recently found out that Scentsy offers the opportunity for people to become consultants and sell scentsy products. I've been considering trying out a direct selling venture, but Avon and Mary Kay were the only two companies that I knew of (and I'm not interested in either.) So I did a little Google research and…

NSV - Jeans shopping!
I stopped by Goodwill today to pick up a couple of pairs of jeans since my usual size 12's are FINALLY way too loose (it's taken me losing nearly 30 lbs. to go down a size...weird, huh?) Anyway, I picked up a size 10 and a size 8. I picked up the size 8 mostly to see how close I was to being able to fit in them. And what…

NSV! I can do SEVERAL regular pushups!
So, I have several Jillian Michaels/Biggest Loser DVD's that I've been doing multiple times a week for a few months now. I can definitely see and feel improvements in almost every aspect. However, I've always done 'girl' pushups. And anyone that owns a JM video knows that pushups are one of her favorite things to make you…

What do you do for a living? I'm at a crossroads.
My husband and I were having a conversation this morning about some changes that will be happening in our lives in the near future. In a few months, we are going to the beach for vacation. Fun, right? I know, I'm so excited! Anyway, when we get back, I'm going to start looking for a new job and/or career. And I am so…

For those doing the 30 Day Shred...
What size weights do you use? Right now, I'm still on level 1 and using 2lb. weights because that's all I have right now, but I feel like I'm not getting the most out of the workout with them, they're too light. I'm gonna pick up some 5lb. weights tomorrow while I'm out, and I was just curious to know what size weights you…

I've had a set back...
Hey guys, Well, I had a minor set back last night and it's really been bothering me. I can't stop beating myself up over it, even though I know today is a new day. I've been doing pretty well tracking my food. I don't usually complete a daily food diary on here, though I'm trying to get in the habit of doing it every day.…

Hello from KY! :D
Hi everyone! So this is my first time posting in the forums, though I joined MFP on January 3rd. I suppose putting myself out there like this makes me a bit nervous... Anyway, a little bit about me - My name is Kristie, and I'm a 22 year old from Kentucky. Happily married, mother of 1, generally happy person. But just like…
