Does anyone else not lose much over the week, then next week drop a lot?
The flip-flop of my weight really gets on my nerves at times. I am only needing to lose about 5 more pounds before I meet my ultimate low goal, and getting there has really been hard the last three months. I only weigh in once a week. I've found it the best for me, and it keeps my spirits high. I am very dedicated to my…

Lost almost 70 lbs, now I'm losing my hair too?
Hello out there. :) I've been doing my diet since March of last year. I got to my goal weight back in September of 2013 and I've been maintaining since then. However, my hair has been falling out the last 3-4 months and I'm not sure what I can do to stop that? I've started taking this Vitamin called Biotin, along with…

Officially Horrified of Gaining Weight
So I've noticed something that I'm not sure is good, or bad. The last three or four times before I get on the scale I feel as if I am going to have a mini panic-attack. I am horrified of gaining weight now. I think it scares me more than horror movies did when I was a child! I recently bought a lot of new clothes for my…

Suggestions for snacks?
Even though I'm always under my calorie goal, I'm having a hard time staying under my sugar goal for the day, which is currently set to 24. When I exercise this changes a small bit of course - but on normal days it seems everything that I eat really pushes that number. I've been using almond milk in my cereal in the…

30+lbs lost, still haven't dropped a pant size!
So how much weight did everyone lose before they were able to fit in smaller clothes? I am down over 30lbs now, and I still fit in my jeans loosely, but when I try on a size under they are still too tight to button. I have to admit it discourages me a little bit! *grumble*

Birthday Food
So I've been on my diet for a month and a half and doing well so far, however my birthday is coming up next month. On your birthday if you celebrate with family and friends, do you allow yourself that slice of cake or that one cupcake or do you bring along something to snack on that won't be sugar overload? I went to a…

Using rewards to stay on track?
Does anyone have a sort of reward system put in place to help them keep pushing forward with weight loss? The other day I was browsing some forums, and a girl had a signature that looked like this: 10lbs lost: Manicure 20lbs lost: New running shoes 30lbs lost: New bathing suit etc.. and the list went from there. I have a…

Are some workouts just not for everyone?
Hello all :) First of all I am pretty new to the community. I'm 26 and a mother of two, and I'm trying to get back down to my pre-baby body size which is a grand total of 60lbs less than what I weigh now. I don't know if it helps, but right now I'm at 206lbs and I'm 5"6. A few of my friends that inspired me to really get…
