Week 2 plateau!!??
I need to vent/ask for advice. I have been going strong for about 2-1/2 weeks now. A friend got me into doing Zumba, and I've been doing C25K, walking, and doing my elliptical machine on other days. My diet is in check. I've been weighing/measuring/counting everything and know that I'm sticking to my calories. Now I don't…

pregnant!
We found out a couple of weeks ago that we are expecting baby #2!! Let me tell you, I felt fat before, but I feel about 10 times fatter now. My goal is to gain no more than 15 pounds so I'm still using MFP to track my calories and exercise. I think this is the best motivation to finally get this weight off after the baby…

Fat and Pregnant
Hello everyone. Just fishing for some opinions here. Any ladies been over 250 and pregnant? Everything is right in our lives to start trying again for a baby, EXCEPT for my weight. With my first baby I was 245 when I got pregnant. I'm over that now, but was just wondering. Also, If I take the time to try to lose weight it…

Mousse Temptations
I tried the new Mousse Temptations today- the dark chocolate indulgence. Oh man!!! This is the best low calorie dessert ever! It tastes just like a hershey bar without all the calories. I definitely recommend!

Wii Fit FYI
I know several have asked about burning calories on the Wii Fit. Well I reactivated my bodybugg today and tonight I did the Wii Fit for 30 minutes and it says I burned 300 calories during that time. I did all of the aerobic activities (running, hula hoop, step) and did them vigorously. Bodybugg is pretty accurate. Now I am…

I exercised!
I know this probably sounds silly to all you who've been doing this awhile, but I just "started again" and made myself exercise tonight. I worked out for over an hour! It's been over a year since I last exercised, so needless to say I'm pretty proud of myself. Now I just have to keep it up.

Coming back (during the holidays-of all times!)
I've been on MFP on and off over the last few years. This time, it's been awhile and I've ballooned to the heaviest I've ever been. I haven't gotten the courage up to weigh myself yet, but I know it's close to 300 lbs. How in the world did this happen???? My 4 year old has been very concerned about me dying lately. This…

bodybugg
Well just when I said I was back, I got a bodybugg for Christmas. I finally got it up and working today so it looks like I'll be logging my foods and exercise on that program instead. I still love MFP but very excited about using my new bodybugg. I still plan on checking in though. Anybody else used the bugg??

I'm baaaaaack!
Just wanted to say hello. I have been on a horrible break from watching my weight, and have gained 20 lbs back. I used to be here on MFP quite a bit, and I see tons of new people. I'm feeling so tired and fat that I've decided it's time to get back with it, and the week of Christmas-isn't that going to be hard! I just…

I did it!
I got up early this morning and exercised!!! I've been in such a funk for the last month or so, and this morning I broke through. I'm soooo happy. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you finally break through I guess. If I wasn't there, I was pretty close. YAY for me, hope to keep it up!!!

Any volunteers?
Ok I've been struggling for soooo long now. I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who can really commit to being my buddy-message me daily to make sure I'm on track and I'll do the same for you. Although group support is great, I'd like to have someone to really check in on me everyday and chew me out if I haven't…

Taco Bell Fresco menu
Went to taco bell tonight...I had planned to just have one thing in order to stay in my calories. When I got there I discovered the fresco menu with calories listed!!!! I thought they wouldn't be as good, but it was pretty tasty. And I still have calories left for the day!!! It feels GREAT to go out to eat at a fast food…

2 day binge...must be better tomorrow!
I wish I had you all here to watch me everyday and kick my butt when I mess up! I have gone on a 2 day binge. I swear I've probably gained 5 pounds and I feel like crap! I'm not really sure what triggered it, I think it was probably stress and depression over something that happened with my friends this weekend. Let's just…

Beating the Weekends
Weekends are ruining my weight loss efforts! It seems like I do so good all week and lose weight, then undo it all on the weekends. We always end up eating out on weekends. We also go out with friends quite a bit and the beer really adds up those calories. We are having a party July 4 and I've already entered my beer…

30 Day Shred
I just got my new DVD, Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I'm so excited to try it. I am curious if anyone else has any idea how many calories you burn while doing it. Its only a 20 minute workout, but from what I understand it really kicks your butt. I don't have a HRM, so I'm going to be clueless how many calories I'm…

Slip N Slide WOW
Oh my goodness. My son and I just played on his slip n slide for a little over an hour and I can feel every muscle in my body throbbing-and I work out regularly! That thing wore me out!!!! My abs are so tight now. I have no idea why, but that thing did me in! And it was so fun to see my son so happy. It was his first time-…

I've fallen and I can't get up!
Well I've had a bad past 3 days. I haven't followed my diet and haven't exercised. I feel like a bloated cow. It's amazing what 3 days of eating fatty foods does to you. I literally feel like a big bloated whale. It's so disgusting. I HAVE to get back to watching what I eat tomorrow and exercising. It's such a struggle,…

how can this be?
I told myself I wasn't going to go shopping until I had lost another 25 pounds. Well my mom called and wanted me to go with her so I went. I just don't understand how I can lose this much weight and not change sizes. My first 30 pounds took me down from a 24 to a 20 and I've been there ever since, even though I've lost…

I can feel it coming...
Ok I can tell I'm on the verge of a binge. I'm so hungry and it's only 4:20. I had a small snack but that didn't do it. So I've decided to go ahead and eat dinner and hopefully that will do it and I won't be hungry later on. I hope this works. I really don't want to mess things up again!

New motivation
Something I started doing recently...I have a DVR which means I can record my favorite TV programs to save for later (think TIVO). Well lately I've been allowing myself to watch them only while riding my exercise bike. I can't wait to watch my shows, and if I have to exercise to do it, it's motivating me to move. I have so…

For those who like to read!
I just wanted to share a few books that I've read that have helped me with my perspective on food. They aren't about dieting at all, which is what I love the most. But they will definitely open your eyes and make you think differently about the way you eat. Go to the library and check them out. Happy reading! The Omnivores…

Fat Fathers Day
Why did my family decide to celebrate Father's Day with food??? It's been a horrible food day already and we haven't made it to dinner yet!!! My weight hasn't moved in weeks:mad: Ok...tomorrow is another day. NO MORE HOLIDAYS please!!!!

Some things I've learned...
I've been trying to lose all this extra weight for about 15 years now(and I'm only 24)!! I've been doing a lot of thinking about how far I've come lately, partly because I've been struggling so much. I guess you could say I'm an experienced dieter. Thought I'd share some things I learned along the way-and I'm still…

Teachers on summer vacation
Ok so this has been my first week of summer vacation. This is so hard. I went from doing great to wanting to eat all the time. When school was in I didn't have time to eat during the day. My schedule didn't allow it, and only having 20 minutes for lunch made a small meal seem so much more filling. Now that I'm home I want…

Nyquil
Ok so I've gotten sick, again!!! I really try to avoid taking medicine. Was wondering if Nyquil has calories. It seems like it's loaded with sugary syrup. How much will that affect my weight loss?

Starting Monday
Hello! I am planning on really watching what I eat starting Monday-after the big super bowl party. I found this online and am really excited about it. Is there anyone out there in Southwest Missouri who is trying to lose as much weight as I am- 100 pounds or more? I always need motivation and would love to find some…
