Cheat Day mess up
So, since I started like two weeks ago I had lost almost 4lbs. It felt great; I felt so in control with measuring all my food and being healthy. But I ended up having two cheat days in a row; One was due to a friend I haven't seen in three years visiting and he wanted Qdoba... I got the lowest calorie item on the menu, but…

Gaining Weight Again, Want to cry
It's been a while MFP... When I started my journey back in 2013 (I believe) I was 180lbs. I worked really hard and lost so much weight... it took a while, but I made it to my goal, 120 lbs. I was so happy. At one point I had extreme anxiety, which prevented me from eating, so I went down to 114lbs. As I got more comfy…

Extreme Bloating After Workout
So I recently got back into working out this week and decided to work on weight loss and building/toning muscle (which i've never done). I did A LOT of ab work today and was really proud of myself for doing so much.... I felt great (sore, but great). But when I looked in the mirror I was HUGE (stomach, abdomen)... I looked…

Job Causing Weight Gain?
So for the past three weeks I've been working at a daycare... I was really nervous about working here for a few reasons. I saw how huge the other women there were, and was worried that somehow I'd adopt their unhealthy habits that they picked up while working here.... ya see... the kids here get 5 meals a day: breakfast,…

Fat? Can't lose weight?
Okay so maybe the title is a little exxagerated. I've lost quite the amount of weight since the start of my journey (Jan 2014).... But I still haven't reached my goal of 120 lbs. I've been STUCK at 132-134 pounds since December 2014. I've changed up my work outs a few times, in fear that maybe my body was just getting too…

Weight loss from sickness
Ok so at the start of the summer i got really sick and lost 6 lbs over night. That weight loss lasted for a few days, and even though I was eating healthy, i gained it all back. Because I was sick, did my body store most of the food I ate? Since then, I've lost 5 of those pounds again. This means I truly lost the weight,…

What do you hate most about losing weight?
I mean, losing weight is great! Being healthy is great! But sometimes.... there are just some things that are annoying. What I hate the most is the fact my breasts are getting smaller and my body has developed stretch marks.

That Heart Breaking Moment when....
You've lost about 40 lbs and your mom says "Honestly, I can't even tell that you've lost any weight".... </3 I'll never be good enough for my mom haha I was stupid for thinking she'd notice and actually praise me for once.

Mom is bringing me down
My mother has ALWAYS called me fat... even when I was actually a healthy weight in high school I was still "too big for any guy to find me attractive" (which I know wasn't true at all, considering quite a few guys had asked me out). But it still got to me. I always thought I was fat.... ... now looking back i realize I…

Does it ever bother you when...
... you know someone who can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound? Now, now... I know most of you are going to throw a fit and say something like "Oh well they are obviously very active", "They probably don't eat crap", or "how would you know you're probably not around as much to see everything they eat!" Nah man.…

How long does it take usually
Okay SO my goal is to reach 120 lbs. I started at 180 back in January of this year. I've lost 27 lbs so far. Although I know some progress is better than no progress, I still feel like this is going by too slowly. I go the gym 4-5 times a week and exercise for 30 minutes before I have to go to work and stand at…

Is yogurt good or bad
I keep seeing different things.... it ranges from "Eating yogurt makes you gain fat" to "eat yogurt everyday to lose weight" So which is the truth? I'm on a smoothie diet, and I use strawberry yogurt for some of it (meijer low fat to be precise).... so I'd really like to know whether I need to cut it out or not...

Thigh Gaps
Okay, so I'm sure we all know what thigh gaps are.... i used to not care about having a thigh gap or getting one. But my friend "Lynn" has been obsessing over getting one, and she basically believes if you don't have a thigh gap, you're fat. But when I was in high school and a healthy weight, I still didn't have one.... So…

Dont starve yourself they say
I get super angry when I hear people say "Oh don't starve yourself" "Oh, it'll make you gain more weight" Yet my friend, "Lynn", does just that. And she's lost 27 pounds in just 3 months.... It's taken me six months just to lose 26. I exercise and watch what I eat. I have a standing job. She sits at her computer all day,…

Does standing too long do this?
So I've had a standing job for about two months now.... In the morning and the start of work, I'm a bit slim. But after five or more hours of working, I come home to see my belly pooching out.... does this happen to anyone else? is this normal?

Can someone explain this?
Okay SO ... I went to the gym today and did my weekly weight check.... I seemed to have gained five pounds since last week... Is that possible? Should I believe that?

What song or band helps you work out
Panic at the Disco!'s newest CD (Too young to live to weird to die) has a lot of bouncy-happy music... really helps me out when I'm running. Euro-pop also helps me out due to the beat being so energetic.
