I'm back here
EVERY TIME I say "This is it! I am going to lose this weight!" I fall back into my old habits and gain it all back. UGH! I am trying to find out why I am failing. I've narrowed it down to: 1) Motivation - I get to the point I just don't want to do it anymore. I just want to overeat high calorie foods and pretend like it's…

Feeling like a failure
I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. I constantly go back and forth. I've lost the same 15 lbs 3 times now. I am back to it today though. When I get to a rough spot I just need to keep going and that's when I say "screw it" and I throw in the towel.

I've lost 10lbs without exercising. Now, my sister and I want to start walking. Today we've signed up for a Make Yes! Happen race and we are going to see who finishes it first! The one we are doing is 22 miles. I think it will be a fun motivator!

Facebook groups
Are all Facebook groups full of people trying to sell stuff??? All the ones I join are filled with sell posts and hardly anyone posts actual weight loss. My inbox also fills up with BB and Itworks sells reps. It gets annoying.

My coworker belives in magic! :(
I accepted a FB friend request by a coworker. I don't normally do it, but I went ahead. Every post this person makes is about selling some magic weight loss supplement. I'm pretty sure I was only friended to be marketed to. This person also brought in samples of a product into the office yesterday. I obviously declined. I…

Lost lbs but not inches?
I have lost 11 lbs so far (yay!). I measured myself for the second time since I started losing weight. The only place I have lost inches is 1/2" off my thighs. While I am happy about losing the lbs I REALLY want to lose off my stomach and face. I know you lose fat where you lose it and you cannot target it, but it was a…

So much bad info!
Every time I join a Facebook group I get frustrated and leave because of all the bad information. I just want to join a FB group where I won't get told to "eat clean" and "go on a detox." Someone actually told another woman that 2% milk was bad and not to drink it everyday. I also see "eat 5 meals a day." When I said I…

How long did it take to get to your goal weight?
I am 40 lbs overweight and I want to lose it all in 1 year. Is that doable? I know it didn't take me a year to put on (more like 5), but I wasn't necessarily trying to gain weight either lol. I am trying to set realistic goals.

Not enough calories??
I am a 30F, 5'3" and weigh 169lbs. MFP says I should eat 1320 calories to lose 1lb a week. Is that too low? I have a desk job so my activity level is low.

Are prenatal vitamins good enough?
Hello! My husband and I are wanting to start having a baby after I lose some weight. My OB wants me on a prenatal at least a month before we try to conceive. I had a miscarriage last year. I was wondering if I could take a prenatal now instead of a regular multi-vitamin.

No motivation to go to the gym

Paleo for IBS
I want to start eating right partly to get my IBS under control. I was talking with a coworker who is Paleo about it and he recomended me doing it.
