Weight Watchers group
I haven't been very happy with the results that I have gotten from MFP but, I love the message boards, it's free and you can talk to people about struggles. I'm just wondering if anyone else has done weight watchers? I did it abou 3 years ago and lost 50+ pounds and kept it off for a while until stress and parenthood…

Anyone else on weight watchers?
I am just wondering if their is anyone else who is on weight watchers? I have been told that the price is too high, they don't allow you enough calories etc. but, I had wonderful results a few years back and I am interested in starting it again. I am going to the weight watchers building and getting my monthly membership…

I've never paid attention to B.M.I?
I have never really paid attention to my B.M.I but, apparently right now as it is, I a considered "obese". I would need to lose 57 pounds to be in the "overweight" category which would make me be 179 pounds. In order to be healthy, I would need to lose 90 pounds. My goal weight is right in the center of the healthy…

C25K question...
I really want to start running but, I honestly am a couch potato... ok, so I sound great for the C25K program right? Right! :) I have a few questions though- 1) Is it an app? I just found an app on my phone so, I downloaded it thinking that might be it. 2) Did it work for you? Thanks everyone!

I'm not finding the support that I need
I don't think this site is really working for me in the support department. I have 200+ friends and I think a handful of them are truly supportive and encouraging, they talk to me every day and really seem to care about what I am going through mentally and physically. I like those friends that I have. The other couple…

Master Cleanse
I am planning on starting the 10 day master cleanse on Friday. There are a lot of benefits from doing this diet and I am excited to get started. I am not only doing it for weight loss but, I am doing it more for detox. I have been eating badly for a week now and I feel so sick to my stomach. I believe that this will help…

3 different occasions today...
First: "WOW, Paige. You look like you have been losing weight" that's what Journey's nurse said this afternoon. Second: "You look slimmer". My great grandma said that to me while we were eating supper. Third: "Damn girl, you look great for just popping that kid out 3 months ago" That's what my neighbor said today. I must…

Looking for a texting support buddy! :)

Here is the real me. (Mental illness)
I am here to tell a million strangers about my life and to pour my heart out to you and confess that I am no longer in denial. Trust me, I know this will be long and half of you who look at this first line will say "screw it" and click back to the motivation and support page. That's fine. I just need support and someone…

I would love to have a friend to text and talk about when we do the daily challenge and how we are doing. :) Anyone out there? I am also doing 30DS so, it…

My opinion (don't read if you're overly sensitive)
I am so sick of hearing dumb excuses from people who "really want and need to lose the weight". If I had a dollar for everytime someone complained about something or had an excuse as to why they can't work out or eat right that day- I would have enough money for a gym membership to 17 different gyms all over the country…

Minnesotans?
I have come to the conclusion that I need more "real life" friends. You see me on this website with 200+ friends and doing very well but, I have really had no one to turn to when I need to talk other than my fiancé. I have had a handful of friends my entire life but, being overweight made it very difficult to be social and…

Pre pregnancy body- any other mom's out there?
I will start this off with a letter- Dear pre pregnancy body, I know that I was never very good to you. I actually hated you if we are being honest. You were 220 pounds of barely any muscle and a whole lot of fat..... but, now after having this "new body".... I miss you....a lot. I miss the 220 pounds. I am currently a not…

I want to get back to...
I hear people say these phrases all the time. "I am trying to get down to X number of pounds like I was in high school" "I was so fit 5 years ago, that's where I want to be" "I remember when I fit into these pants. these are my goal pants" etc. I weighed in at 204 pounds when I was in fifth grade. I didn't go to any school…

My strange motivators.
I find motivation from certain things that seem strange when I really think about them... but, whatever works right! ;) 1) Skinny girls fighting. I use to be a bad fighter (this is not something that I am proud of) and I was very strong. Now, I watch fights between girls and they seem so dainty.. it makes me wonder what I…

Broad shoulders?
Did any women have success through out your weight loss losing your broad man shoulders? I absolutely hate mine and I worry that when I lose the weight, my shoulders will seem larger.

Hey you!!! Yes you, read this!
Hello, winners. Many of us struggle with the stresses of changing our lifestyle (some may call it a diet, I choose otherwise) and many of us aren't solely struggling with that alone but, with financial issues, relationship problems, mental health or even all of the above. I just wanted to remind you that you are amazing!…

I THINK I WAS IN STARVATION MODE?
I think that I was in starvation mode eating 1300 calories a day but, I really would never exceed 1200 calories a day. I did a lot of research about calories and now that I am a waitress, I changed my activity level. In order to lose 2 pounds per week, I am now starting to eat 1630 calories per day and I already feel much…

Calorie question for those who lost 75+
First of all, congratulations to those of you who have had success with your weight loss! :) I have been confused since day one about calorie intake. I have heard people have more success with 1200 calories and other's with 2400 calories! What has worked for those of you who have lost a lot of weight? How long did it take…

Confused about calories?
I was allowing myself 1300 calories and not exercising. Now, I am a waitress so, I decided to change my exercise level and in order to lose 2 pounds per week, MFP tells me to eat 1,690 calories a day... I am confused how I can lose that much weight eating more calories than I was? Maybe someone can explain it to me.... I…

Does it ever get... easier?
"Things only get better when you get better" "Never give up, your dreams are right there" "Pain is temporary, quitting is forever" Those quotes make it seem so "real" or easy when you think about being motivated or being determined to lose the weight. I know that nothing is "easy" in this life but, things do get easier…

I thought this was neat...
I found a picture earlier this morning and since I am not tech savvy, I can't figure out for the life of me how to upload it here to MFP but, I can explain it to you all! It was a big hippo running on the treadmill and sweating heavily. He was looking up at a picture that was taped to the wall above the treadmill and it…
