Plastic baggies...
I have been out of town working for the past three days, and I have brought food along with me. I portioned everything out into plastic sandwich baggies (yay me lol) but I have a major issue...well it's major to me. All of my food tastes like the plastic baggie it is packed in. I have had this issue before, and have tried…

So frustrated....
I just need a minute to vent... I have worked my butt off for the past year and a half counting calories and exercising, and as a result I have lost 98 pounds. A co-worker/friend of mine had gastric bypass surgery in December and has lost approximately 60 pounds. She claims she didn't do it to lose weight, she did it to…

Skin issues...
I have started developing some major back acne over the past few weeks, and I need some help. I have some huge pimples on my back, from my neck to my butt, and on my shoulders. When I work out, I wear a heart rate monitor chest strap, sports bra, and shorts. I thought that these things could have been the cause, with the…

Taking a break...
I have been very consistent with my workout routine since May, working out between 5 and 6 days for 30 to 120 minutes each session. My workouts typically burn anywhere between 200 and 1100 calories (per my HRM). I have lost a considerable amount of weight since May. Here is my question: Would there be any harm in taking a…

I'm wearing my "skinny" jeans!!!
Okay, so they aren't really "skinny" jeans...they are a size 18 lol. But still, they fit, and I haven't been able to wear them in at least 5 years. It was a nice way to start the day :)

Ranch Dip/Dressing
I love ranch dressing, I can't give it up. Tonight I had chips and dip. I made ranch dip using skim milk, regular mayonnaise, and ranch dressing mix. I'm not a fan of the sour cream recipe, and I don't like the bottled versions of ranch dressing. So here is my question. I was thinking of making dressing/dip with nonfat…

OMG I have elbows ;)
So as of this morning I have lost 22 pounds...YAY!!! But as I was getting ready for work this morning, I noticed something I haven't seen in a very long time (if ever). I have elbows lol. They have always been there, I know, but they are more pronounced and pointy. I know, it seems kind of silly, but it's a big deal for…

So mad right now...
Okay, so I know that a loss of 18 pounds in 8 1/2 weeks is something to be proud of, and I am. I don't want to sound conceited, but I know that I have worked hard to get where I am. Here is why I am so upset right now: Lately, people have made comments about my weight, and it's really making me mad. I know that I'm not a…

Feeling Discouraged
I have been using MFP since May 25th. I have logged my meals faithfully every day, and I usually end the day 200-400 calories under my goal. I always eat at least 1200 calories a day. I have gone over a couple of days, but only by about 100 or 200 calories. I exercise every day for 30-90 minutes. I have a goal to lose 105…
