Emotional state affects weight loss?
In the past few months I've been struggling with my personal life, or my life in general actually. At any given time I'm either sad/angry/frustrated/insert any negative emotion here. Since my weight is something I (thought I) could control, I decided to lose weight I gained over the last couple of years (almost half of…

Losing everything
In the past few weeks my life completely changed. Well, fell apart. First, I lost my job. A couple of weeks later the guy I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, ended our relationship. Since we lived together, I had to move back in with my parents, single and unemployed on the week I turned 27. Now I…

I used to be on the success stories board.
I used to be on the success stories board. Not anymore. I still login everyday, and still have an amazing streak (almost 1100 days), but I stopped logging food a long time ago. At some point after that I also stopped working out (the regular excuses - no time, no energy, skipping "only one" won't change anything, etc).…

Having a hard time fitting in workouts.
So I've been maintaining succesfully for about a year now. I'm not doing such a great job both with my food or workouts, but I'm hanging in there. I used to work out 6 time per week, but since I started working full time, it's just not happening. During the week I'm absolutely exhausted, as I'm out of the house for around…

300 days later (pics)
Today is my 300th day on MPF, so to celebrate I decided to share my success story (though I don't actually feel I'm a success). On August I weighed in at 158 lbs (72 kg), not my heighest ever, but high nonetheless, and being 5'3 (162 cm) I did not carry the weight very well. I never thought it'd be possible for me to…

Afraid to gain after starting a new relationship
Since August I've lost over 40 lbs and in the past couple of months I've been successfuly maintaining. Around the same time I went into maintenance I started dating someone, and I've noticed that as time goes by I feel as though I "care" less and less about my food intake. I've been eating out more, been drinking more…

Feeling weird about a NSV
I don't usually post topics, but I just really needed to share. I just touched the sides of my body, and realized I have nothing to grab. I've always had love handles, always. But apparently not anymore. At first I felt really proud, but than I pretty much freaked out. I just felt like I wasn't myself anymore, because in a…

Vegan + active but gaining.
So this is actually about my mom and not myself. She's 50 y/o, and has always been naturally thin. A couple of years back she switched to a vegan diet and started working out 4-6 times a week (mostly low impact) and was in great shape. A few months ago she quit smoking, and even though her nutrition and exercise regimen…

100 days but struggling
Tomorrow will be my 100 day of logging, but lately I've been finding it really hard to motivate myself and keep going. Also, I don't have much more to lose so it's becoming harder and harder. I'm 23 and my goal is only 8 lbs away. I would appreciate more supporting and motivating friends if any are out there! =]

Knee problems
Hey everyone, This is the first time I'm writing. Today I completed day 40 of my first round, and my knee is killing me. I've never had any knee or joints issues before, so this is a first for me. Taking an unscheduled rest day (or days) isn't an option for me since I sort of have a deadline (the day after I finish my…

What if no one will notice?
Next week I'm going to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in a couple of months. Throughout this time I've lost 12 lbs, and honestly, I'm scared no one will notice. I've worked so hard to get these results, but I'm not done yet, and I'm nervous that if people won't notice I'll become completely unmotivated and won't…
