Scales aren’t moving
Okay, so I know it’s not smart to rely completely on what the scale says but I’m just trying to understand some things. For the past 3 weeks I’ve been consistently losing 1-2 lbs a week. But I’ve noticed now I gained 2 lbs last week. I know our weight fluctuates but I have a considerable amount to lose (over 150 lbs) so I…

Hopeless
Do you ever just feel like there's no point? That you're just destined to be fat? I've always been the fat girl and while I have had success before (60 lbs. loss) I gained it all back and more. I'm quickly approaching 40 years old and I've never known what it feels like to be healthy. I have extremely low self-esteem and…

Not really new, but decided to finally introduce myself.
Hello, I'm Betsy, 28 yrs old and I've been using MFP since around February or March. I've lost 45 lbs. so far, but I've really hit a wall.

Another NSV
I remember being in junior high and my most dreaded day would be when my gym class would go to the track to "run a mile". I hated it. I couldn't even run a quarter of a lap, let alone a whole mile. Today, about 15 years later, I still can't run a mile, lol. However, I DID just run 2.5 laps. I have never in my life done…

Small NSV
I wore a tank top in public today for the first time in 13 years. I was very nervous about it, but I did it. It might not be a big deal to a lot of people but, it meant a lot to me.
