New Group - Summer Lovin'
So perhaps the name of this new group isn't completely right, but we can fix it! I've noticed that there are so many groups on here, but most of them are already 3 or 4 weeks in, not really a good point to start. So I figured I would start my own, and if anyone wants to join, perfect! I personally like encouragement,…

For the Women: TOM bloating
Do you bloat the week before your TOM or during? I went to the Dr this morning and weighed at 182.8. My shirt was fitting good, it's new shirt I bought since my flubby stomach went down a bit, now this afternoon it's sticking back out just like before I lost any weight. I haven't eaten ton, I've drank my water, I've worked…

My Story with an NSV
I'm posting this more to get it out in the open and to make myself feel good. I've been off for a few days with everything and I felt like I threw everything off. I'm 21, I'll be 22 May 18. Ever since at least 8th grade I can remember being bigger, no huge, but I wasn't as little as other girls my age or size. In high…

Can you do something nice for someone today? Even if it take
If you've got a Facebook this will be even easier! So I've entered my adorable puppy Andy into a photo contest. It's being held by Rich Blessing Photography. A local photographer here in Sevierville, TN. The winner receives a free photo session and a few other cool things! I want to win this, not just for the session BUT…

Nice little NSV to get my motivation back!
So a bit of a back story. Before I lost 15lbs I felt horrible seeing myself in the mirror. I didn't like how anything looked and I HATED going to buy new clothes. Well, I am officially 15lbs down from where I've started and today was a great day. I'm going to the beach in about 5weeks and I've got about 10 more lbs I want…

Turkey Tacos?
I'm making dinner tonight and I want tacos...like really bad...and I figured instead of heading to taco bell OR making an unhealthy taco at home I'd make some yummy healthy turkey tacos. Does anyone have any good recipes? I was just going to get some turkey, taco seasonings, wheat tortillas, cheese, lettuce, tomato..

How would you suggest doing this?
Okay so maybe this is the right place to post this. I would assume so. My goal is to be about 160-165 by my beach trip in May, I've got two months to do so. I know it is possible, 10lbs a months it's possible. I just was wondering how would you go about it? I've been doing the obvious, eating right, lots of water, and…

NSV? Yes, I love them!
I went shopping yesterday, which I told myself I wouldn't buy any new clothes until I was out of the SEVEN size 13s that I found, most with the tags still on. Well, sometimes shopping is like therapy to me, I just like to do it! I went into a store and picked up a pair of 14s (i'm still wearing the 16s right now) They…

Hips..how to get rid of them.
I'm a curvy girl. Not just the fat parts, I mean if I didn't have the fat I would still have hips and boobs, my shape would be hourglass, just because of my mom. (gotta love her!) However, I'm having problems with my hips. It's hard to explain, but when you look at them you can clearly see the spot where the fat has…

Re-evaluating and confused?
So I asked my MFP friends this as well, but I thought I'd ask the general public too. "I'm going start eating most, if not all my exercize calories. I'm going to make sure my NET is at 1200 each day, maybe some days go over, some days under, just to do the zig zagging. I re-did my goals with MFP, it said that I would lose…

Calories Burned Question!
I just bought a Billy Blanks Bootcamp, Cardio Inferno DVD. I was wondering if anyone knew what I should log it under. Or maybe if there is a site you can go to and enter your weight and age and get how many calories you'd burn. I don't have a HRM I'm still working on getting one. I want to get one! Thanks in advanced!

Where's my motivation? Support? What happened?
Today has been just one big drop for me! I just needed somewhere to vent and I figure since everyone here is trying to do exactly what I want to do, this was a good place. plus I don't know anyone here, so I am more open to spilling my guts, ha! I was working out with a friend at her gym, she can bring a buddy for free, so…

My First Ever B&A, but I'm not seeing it....
So I have officially hit the 10lbs mark. I told myself when that happens I'll post B&A pics. Well, I've got them. I'm not seeing a difference, only just a bit in the side view...maybes it's just me because I'm used to seeing myself haha! but here they are, never done B&A before. **I think it might have been just an…

I wanted to share my NSV!
I have yet to have a real NSV other than my PJ pants not being AS tight. Well, let me begin with I am currently in a size 16 jean. I found about 7 pairs of 13s in my rooms not long ago, most of them with the tags still on. Mixed in those was also a 15. I tried them on a couple weeks ago and could barely button them.…

Trouble with Superbowl menu? Any advice?
So, I'm heading over to my boyfriends house to watch the superbowl with him and his large hungry family. (lol) They are ordering a MASS amount of pizza and someone else is making the little BBQ weiners with bacon wrapped around them....that's it! Im at work now and I'm about to try to fill up on some yummy good chili and a…

Caffeine?
Okay, so I admit. I have drank coke for the longest time..giving it up has been hard. So, now I don't get caffeine.....wellllI'm tired.. To others out there who were basically addicted to it, like me, what do you do? Ive cut back to about 1 a week. I think that's good for me right now, so I won't have horrible headaches. I…

In need of some motivation..
so today hasn't been a bad day, I think I ate pretty well today. This little thing at the bottom said in 5 weeks I'd be 176 if I ate this way every day (we all know how accurate that is..haha) I took Zumba tonight, which was AWESOME! I looked in the mirror, and everything just went down. I'm a lot bigger than I have every…

Lowering suger?
So my recommended sugar intake is 29 and I've already gone over by 15. I eat fruits, which I know has sugar, and I eat yogurt (usually just plain mixed with the fruit). Is 29 really a realistic number to have? Or did MFP just throw that out there. I'm not sure what I could eat to get less sugar. I LOVE fruits, I don't want…

Shopping on a Budget
Okay, so I'm in a pickle. I am on an extreme diet. Things are slow at work and my paychecks aren't as high as usual, go figure. What are some good things to get at the store that can be used in multiple meals without breaking the bank? I usually get veggies and fruit, but those are gone within the week since I eat them. I…

NSV- had to share!!
I had to share this. In my eyes, this was big! So I usually don't pass up when someone at work orders out. Before I started I'd order whatever I want, then when I started I began ordering a bit healthier. However, it was weighing on my calories and my wallet! Today, they went to taco bell. I am a sucker for taco bell!(…

This one is for the ladies....
(and I realize that guys will also read this too) This really has nothing to do with weight loss, basically nothing at all. However, I know that sometimes you just need a good little laugh to make your self feel better. Most of the time i can think of this and giggle. I thought I would share with everyone else as well. We…

Anyone tried the Yoplait 2 Week challenge?
I know it's not really a challenge, it's more of a plan. I'm going to be doing my grocery shopping tomorrow and I want to get some things to do the Yoplait thing for two weeks. I want to know if it has worked with anyone first though. You eat Yoplait Light yogurt, a fruit, and a grain (like cherrios) for two meals…

Just starting with MFP, HI!
Hey! I just started MFP on my phone and decided I'd go ahead and do it online too! It's always good to have others around to motivate you and to read their stories. I want to lose 50lbs by May! I've got my birthday and a vacation this summer and I want to feel good! I'm not only doing this for the summer, I'm doing this…
