Not enough for MFP
So I have found that I have a REALLY hard time meeting my 1200 calorie goal for MFP. I am 100% honest on my log so I don't want to add food I didn't eat just to get it to log...I eat healthy..and I feel I eat enough...I don't get dizzy or sick or weak...I eat my fruits and veggies and meat and protein...go as low on carbs…

peoples comments
Am I the only one who feels awkward when people mention my weight loss? I see my MIL at the very least two times a week and she is constantly commenting on it..it was so nice to hear the first couple of times but I don't lose so much weight in 3 days that it needs to be brought up every time. I had a bday I went to for my…

why i feel this time is it
Hi everyone :) I am sure I am not the only one here who has dieted 100 different times in their life and fell back into their old habits. This time I feel like I am on a journey not a diet. Changing my life...not just my jean size. The number one reason this time I feel its going to work is my lack of desire to drink…

How often does everyone take their measurements? I didn't take them at the beginning (20# ago) but I took them last Thursday....I was thinking every 2 wks but is that enough time to see a difference?

Month Long Vacation starts TODAY!
I board a plane at 3:30 today and will be out of state for a month, surrounded by friends, family, booze and temptation the whole time.

putting the scale up....for today
So, yesterday I decided I was going to UP my calories, because I have come to a huge plateau. I had 1693 calories and only burned 287 which left me 206 over my desired calories.....I know this in no way "hurt" me, but I also know that the scale is going to be the same or a little higher, and i feel guilty about having so…

before and during..............eh
so here is a before 218 lbs and a during 200...don't think there is too much of a difference, i do think the clothes i am wearing make me look smaller. But....i thought i would put the two next to each other if for no other reason than having it to look back on :) Let the journey continue

Just got back on mfp after about 6 months...logged my food /exercise for the day and after exercise my cal intake was lower than 1000 so it said it would not post it or anything? This must be something relatively new?

crossfit ...... good idea?
So I bought a groupon for 10 beginners classes in crossfit. I am scared, but determined to do this. I've seen video of people over 300 lbs doing it, and all though I am over weight, technically I am about 40 lbs over the high end of what I should be, I am certain that if I go in there I can do it...maybe not well...but I…
