Diet Pop
Yet another question haha. I've sort of fallen off the wagon lately and need to get myself motivated again! Does anyone here drink diet pop? I keep reading that artificial sweeteners are awful for you because they make you crave to binge later, but what if you resist that? I know I need to stop drinking so much diet…

YES! I hit my original goal!
When I first downloaded MFP onto my android I set my original goal at 280, not really thinking it would last and didn't want to set myself with a bar too high. Now, 5 months later, I hit that goal! I've been stuck on a plateau for what seems like FOREVER trying to hit this measly goal, but after eating at a buffet TWICE…

Meltdown.
Today I had a complete melt down about my diet/healthier lifestyle. Those of you who are bigger will understand hopefully, and I feel the need to rant since the friends I have are not very overweight and didn't understand why I got so upset. I went to an amusement park with some friends today and they begged me to go on a…

Splurging

It's not as downhill as some people, but I still break almost every day with a treat and have gained 2 lbs back :( Anyway, what do you all do when your cravings get out of control for more than a…

7 lbs in a week
I dropped 7 lbs this week and wasn't really trying with my diet! I feel fantastic because I don't have to TRY so hard anymore, it's starting to come naturally :D Has anyone else experienced this? As someone who was eating at Arbys or BK every day (large curly fries, chicken sandwich AND those potato triangle things WITH…

Goodbye 300 Club!!
I stepped on the scale yesterday expecting the worst (I had chinese food the night before, and steak tacos the night before that!!) only to realize I am no longer in the 300lb category!!!!! This is the lightest I've been in my adult life! :D

Arm Exercise
I HATE my arms, but even more than I hate them I hate doing arm exercises!! Does anyone have any good tips on making arm slim down easier? So far I'm just lifting 4lb weights every night for about 10 minutes, but I don't feel like it's doing much.

Starving yourself
So, I've lost about 30 lbs so far (I dropped a few before using this site). I know I'm a bigger girl so it's hard to see the difference, but I can sort of see the difference in myself... The other night at a company dinner I was walking with a girl who noticed our friend (whose "average size", so her weight loss is very…

Help me stop binging :(
So this week & last week all I have felt like doing is binging. I thought it was a phase that would pass, but it hasn't!! Maybe I'm missing something nutritionally? (I already always go over on my protein, so that can't be it... I'm always under on carbs.) What are some foods that fill you guys up for good? Or some tactics…

What's everyone's favorite BAD meal?
Everyone has one. That favorite meal that you know is HORRIBLE for you, but you just can't help yourself. Mine was beef ramen with italian sausage cooked and cut up in one giant bowl (ramen minus the water, just pour the salty mix over the cooked noodles!) I look back on that meal (which I ate every day for like.. a year…

Whining

I've been using MFP since late Feb and have only lost 26 lbs (about 32 since mid feb) but I feel like I should have lost more by now. Blegh. I'm just having kind of a bad week and hope next week will be better. :)

Running Tips Please?
I honestly don't understand how people jog for 30 minutes straight. I am happy if I can jog all the way to the gas station! I want to be one of those people who can jog straight for long distances, but I don't know how to get there! So far I am trying interval training (walk fast, jog, walk fast, jog, walk fast, jog,…

Dieter's Tea
Has anyone ever tried following the dieter's tea regiment (a.k.a the ballerina diet... I think)? Does it work? Is it healthy? I know you're not all professionals, but I'm just curious to hear your opinions :)
