When Did Your Weight Loss Slow Down?
So as of today, I am down 95 pounds. I have 20 more pounds to go until I am the normal BMI range, and 30 more pounds until I'm at the final weight I want to be. I have been losing pretty consistently since October 2011. I'm just wondering when the weight loss started to slow down significantly for others? This is just out…

Back to the basics
Hi folks! I have been on MFP for a few years now. I did very well in the beginning. Started out at 260 pounds, and was able to get down to 149 pounds at the beginning of last summer. However, life stresses started to affect me, and I started to pack on the pounds. I am now back up to 199 pounds...which I discovered this…

Up Band
I have searched the forum, but have not come across any recent updates regarding this. I have my UP Band and MFP synced. Does anyone know if the calories the band transfers to MFP is correct? It doesn't seem to be...If I add exercise into MFP, the UP Band always reads "0". I'm not sure if I should log my exercise calories…

Yet Another Fresh Start
Hello! I have been on MFP for well over two years, possibly three years now. I am trying everything I can to motivate myself, and I hope writing down my feelings might help. Here is a little background on myself. My highest weight was 259lbs. I started losing weight, and for one day, the scale said I was at 149 lbs! Only 4…

Gained 20 Pounds Back
Hi everyone. This is a sad story, but I need to hold myself accountable. I was MIA from MFP for a couple of months. During that time, I ate horribly. No good excuses for that. I also gained 20 of the 100+ pounds I've lost, back. I was avoiding the scale and finally got on this morning. I'm in tears while I'm writing this.…

Dating Rules
Okay so I'm bored at work, and purposely left my phone at home today. I need entertainment! Anyways, I'm new to the dating scene (last year or so) and really the only rule I have is regarding sexual relations. The earliest it would happen is the 4th date (and that's if I'm feelin it). Do any of you have/had rules regarding…

2 Week Hiatus from C25K...now what?
Okay so I lost my motivation for the C25K and it's now been 2 and a half weeks since I've done it. I stopped right before I was about to start week 5. I was doing really well with it until that point (I've completed the program once before). My question is, should I pick up where I left off, or go back a few weeks and…

Wasting Away?
I was just told by a customer that I am "wasting away." I still have 6 more pounds to lose before I am in the healthy BMI range. Has anyone else received a comment like this? How did you take it? I know I have, more than once. I've also been told that I should "be careful", "don't lose too much weight", and that I should…

Cooking Dinner Date (Cheap & Easy?)
Hey guys! I have a date on Friday and I will be cooking a meal for the guy. I'm always on a budget, and I'm not a pro in the kitchen, so does anyone have some cheap, easy dinner ideas that will somewhat impress him? Don't so much care about calories or anything like that, just something that tastes good and isn't expensive…

Question about Body Fat/Goal Weight
Right now I have my goal weight set at 145...which is the high side in the normal BMI range for me. I know the BMI chart isn't always realistic, but regardless, that's my goal. However, I know once I start focusing more on body fat, I may gain some muscle weight. Which is fine, but I still want to be at or under 145. I…

An ex attack
I just want to start out by saying that although I'm 28, I've never been in a real legitimate, long term relationship. That's the curse of being an unconfident fat girl for most of my life. That being said, I did just get out of a short term relationship (only 2 months). It was nowhere near serious and we decided to be…

Bikram Yoga
Has anyone tried Bikram Yoga? I am really interested in giving this a shot. I'm not usually a yoga fan, but I read that you could burn up to 1000 calories in one session. Yay or nay? How did the class go? What did you wear? Thanks!

Sauna Benefits
At my gym, they have two saunas. One is a dry heat, one a wet heat. I could simply google to find out the benefits, but I'm more interested in hearing from people who have used a sauna regularly. Have you noticed any benefits relating to weightloss/fitness? Is it just for relaxation? Thanks!

Weight Gain After Weight Training Days
I'm pretty sure this is common, but I just want to see if anyone else has noticed this. I'll describe my routine first. On Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, I do C25K and maybe a cardio class like Zumba. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I do 15 minutes on the elliptical and then use the weight machines (I don't feel comfortable using…

How to move on
Hey guys. I know this is a weird spot to post this, but I'm going through something I'm hoping someone here can relate to and/or understand. I've lost 100 pounds and I've never felt more sad in my life. Sometimes I feel like losing the weight was the worst thing that could have happened to me. I get more attention from…

Birth Control (Patch)
Hello! This is obviously directed towards women. I am looking into birth control methods and believe I have settled on the patch. I have heard many things about weight gain on birth control and would like to hear from those who have had the patch. I was also considering the shot, but it specifically states weight gain is a…

How to get back on track?
Hey guys! I feel like I seriously have fallen off the lifestyle change wagon the past couple of weeks! Just this past week I have gained about 5 pounds (yes, I know it's mostly water weight...I'm trying to increase my water intake). I desperately need and want to get back on track and I'm wondering if there are any tips…

Losing Drive
I'm sure similar topics have been posted, but oh well. I've noticed the past 3 weeks or so, that I have been slacking on the gym. Thankfully, my weight loss has not been effected (YET!) but I'm sure that if I keep going in the same direction, it will be. Anyways, I used to go to the gym 5 times a week (jogged for 40…

Should I Stop Jogging?
Okay I know this is really a decision only I can make, but some input would be appreciated! In the middle of February, I started the C25K. I completed it around the beginning of May. I've still been jogging 2 to 3 times a week, just working on speed. However, I DESPISE jogging! I really cant stand it. I find it boring and…

Extra Attention
So I'm kinda excited to be posting this topic. However, I have some questions. I have lost 85 pounds and I feel like I have entered a whole new world. Guys are paying more attention to me...and not always the good kind of attention. I feel like I'm getting addicted to it and I'm putting myself in positions to get it. My…

Bringing Dessert
I am having dinner at a friends house tonight. We are both watching what we eat and she asked me to bring a "healthy dessert." I'm stumped! I can't think of anything to bring! And the thing is, I didn't have time to make anything, and I'm going right after work, so it has to be something I can get at the grocery store. And…

Healthy Lunch Ideas?
So this week, I am trying to stay away from the frozen and canned foods. So far, so good. However, although I'm usually okay for breakfast and dinner (I usually have a salad or eggs for dinner), I'm usually out of ideas as to what to have for lunch. I need something I can bring to work with me. I've been having to go out…
