Hello! Returning after a long break.
Hi everyone! I have just returned to this site after realizing how much I have gained. I had my second baby last year, and I did not take care of myself. Now that she's a bit older and life has returned to a new normal I want to start taking better care of myself. Having been gone a while almost all the people who were on…

Clothing NSV
I haven't gone clothes shopping since I started my journey to health. I've refused because I was afraid to find I still needed a XXL or a size 18 . When my mother came to visit, she couldn't stand how baggy my clothes were. So the first night here she forced me to order some clothes online. I was more afraid than anything…

Having Issues
Okay, I started my official weight loss journey Jan 4th of this year. My goal was to lose 50 lbs, and to hit onederland. I made that goal about a month ago. And I was so ecstatic. However lately I've been having issues. With the changes of a move, a new puppy and my grandfather passing, I stopped logging, and stopped…

Help Me Name My Puppy!
That's him. He's a stubborn, smart, playful and sweet German Shepherd mix. I found him by the side of the road the day before yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't know what to call him! We've been playing around with names, but some haven't felt right so we resorted to just calling him "Puppy!". Failed ones being Jett and…

Onederful turn of Events!
So, the month of Aug. was not good for me. I had to find a house without seeing it, my grandfather passed, and I had to move 8-10 hours away from my family. I had also not lost more then a lb. And then the second day at the new house, our plumbing backed up! However I can't stop smiling today. Today I weighed in at 199.6…

Grief and dieting...
I found out about 10 minutes ago that my Grandpa just passed. I'm still in a bit of shock, but I knew it was going to happen soon. I know that I have been dieting for myself, to better my life and be happier and healthier. My Grandpa had diabetes, and lung cancer, as well as coronary heart disease. He was overweight for…

How much did he lose?
I started my dieting/working out this year on Jan.4th, as part of my new years resolution of losing 50 lbs. My boyfriend was very supportive. I had tried losing weight the year before, and gained all but 5 lbs back. Still, he was right there when I needed him, and I count myself VERY lucky to have such a supportive…

1st Month Completed!
Okay, so I really started my weight loss journey Jan 4th 2011. And I only really started MFP the 1st of June. Before MFP I used to look up foods and keep a hand written journal. I've been very happy to compare recipes in both and find that they are very close and accurate. But today is July 1st, and exactly 30 days after I…

Small NSV - Jogging
Okay, so in High School *cough*8 years ago*cough* I wasn't much of a runner, I was in pretty decent shape, and I weighed about 170 lbs. I could jog a quarter mile in a 1 min 45 sec ish, but I couldn't keep the speed for long. Usually only 2-3 mins tops. That was 40 lbs lighter and 8 years younger. Last night at the gym,…

How do you deal with cravings?
The day has just started, and already I have the worst cravings. I want to go out for brunch. Cheeseburgers and fries, Taco bell, deep fried tangerine chicken, starbucks. My mouth is watering as I write this, but those are the things that have popped into mind. All sound delicious, all much too high in calorie. I've been…

Chicken Enchiladas
I'm allergic to onion, so that's always been a huge detriment for me when going out to Mexican restaurants. So I took a classic favorite, and turned it into a healthy and delicious dish I could eat. I hope my recipe will work for you as well! You'll need: 10oz Chicken Breast 2 Cans Safeway Tomato Sauce 1 Ear of Corn 1/2…

New Here, but not to weight loss.
Hello everyone. It's nice to meet you. At the heaviest I weighed 255 lbs. I am 5'4". I have already dropped to 223 as of this morning (Hooray!) and I look forward to losing some more weight. I originally did this using a different set up, where I kept a hand written food journal, and really tried to work out 3 days a week.…
