Question for those of you who've had success...
Sorry if this doesn't belong on this board, but I figured who better to ask than those who've had success! I came to the realization tonight that a major reason I have trouble losing weight is because I can't imagine myself losing weight. Being able to lose a large amount of weight, like I need to lose, is something that I…

Overweight mommas!
Hi all! I am looking for other mommas who are overweight and beginning a weight loss journey while trying to balance a family. My daughter is 19 months old and I am a stay at home mom. I have been off and on MFP for a few years but I need some motivation to keep going, and I think other moms that are in the same situation…

binge eating?
I am beginning to think I have an issue with binge eating. I really think this is the reason why I struggle to lose weight. I will find myself super motivated to eat healthy and work out. Then I will be placed in a situation, such as going out to dinner with family, or finding chips in the cupboard, and suddenly any…

FitBit....worth it?
Hey everybody - I have recently started going to the gym (again). A few years back, I was trying to get into running and I got a Garmin to help keep track of my heart rate and calories burned. Now that I'm back at it, I am doing more weights and cardio mixed, and not running. I have been interested in a fitbit, but I'm…

Food Matters
So I have been researching the Juice fast, and I have gotten all sorts of suggestions for different documentaries. I'm currently watching Food Matters. Anyone seen it?? What did you think?

Half Marathon in a Year?
I keep reading all about everyone that ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon this weekend, and it seems like an absolute blast. My family and I are planning a trip to Walt Disney World next February, and they're willing to schedule our trip around the race, if I decide to run it. I am not a runner. At all. I got through…

Has anyone had any success with the Wii Active?
I have had it for a while, and only really done it a few times. Is there anyone that does it on a normal basis, and had any success with it? I plan on doing other types of exercise, I just want to know really how affective it is.

Do you give yourself mini goals/rewards?
I have started my "final" weight loss journey (have started many times but always quit....this time I'm determined to make it to my Goal Weight!) so I have never actually set mini goals or rewards for myself. I am on the fence about whether or not to do the whole reward system. Part of me feels like setting mini goals will…

Figuring out Pizza calories?
My husband works for a locally owned restaurant, and he frequently brings home pizza for dinner. I haven't really tried tracking it before, but now I'm trying very hard to track every single calorie that I eat. But I'm having trouble figuring out how much to track. Since it's a locally owned restaurant, the pizza isn't in…

Your "Aha!" moment
I am beginning to think the reason why this whole thing is so difficult for me, is because I haven't had that moment that a lot of people have, where they say "I saw this picture of me, and I just knew I had to change!" or "I went to the doctor and saw the scale, and something just changed in me where I knew I had to do…

Starting back up!
I've been a member here for a few months now, and I was finding myself discouraged and wanting to quit. I took a couple of weeks off, and now I'm back and excited again!!! Anyone have some tips for keeping my spirits up and staying focused?

Anyone having a hard time believeing it?
Today I hit 8.6lbs lost, which doesn't really seem like much, but when I did my measurements, I've lost 3inches in my hips and 3 inches in my waist since I've started this journey 35 days ago. I can't see it, so I'm having a hard time believing that with only just under 9lbs lost, that I'm losing inches. 6 inches total!…

Looking for friends!
I've been a member of MFP for about a week now, and I would love to have some friends who have the same goals as me! So, I'm looking for people who are about my age (26), looking to lose 100lbs, and who are currently at about 250, fairly new to counting calories, and eat around 1600 calories a day. I wanna find some people…

Just a couple questions...
I'm still kinda new to this, so I have a couple of questions... First, I don't know what to track when I go to a restaurant, and it's a local restaurant, and they aren't in the food list. For instance tonight, I had vegetarian fajitas, with no tortillas, about a 1/4 cup of rice. I don't know how to enter it in, because any…

Working out more than once a day
I know that all exercise is good, but is it better to do it all at once, or can you do it twice a day? I already did a 30 minute video for today but I kind of want to do some yoga later, maybe after lunch. Should I do it all at once, when my heart rate is already up? Or is it okay to do it in two separate times?

Body Bugg.....?
So, I know that the people on the biggest loser wear them, and I had a friend who has one and likes it, but has anyone else had any luck with them? Is there another heart rate monitor or something like a body bugg that you've had success with?

I just have a question for all of you that have lost a large amount of weight. Did any of you have success by working out at…
