IIFYM
To all of my fellow IIFYMers: When it comes to counting sugars while following IIFYM, does it really matter if you go over for the day? I've searched all over the internet for information and have had zero luck finding anything on this. Currently I am set at 45 grams (seems a little high), just wondering. Also, if you eat…

SCREW the scale!!!
I weighed in yesterday and according to the scale I gained 2.5 pounds. Well after that I took measurements and lost 2 inches on my waist! So yeah, I think I'll go with that over the number on the scale.

Side by side comparison photo
I've posted one of these before, I just wanted to do an updated on just for the simple fact that I am FREAKING proud of what I have done so far. I still have a ways to go to get to my goal, but I like that I see!

Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer
Ok, so I want to start this program but I'm a little embarrassed about using weights in the gym. The reason being I fear people looking at me like "What does she think she's doing?" I know I shouldn't care what people think, but this has been a fear of mine for quite some time when it comes to weights in the gym and the…

3rd shifters
After a year and a half I finally got a job!!! For the past few years of doing shift work I have always had first shift, but now I want to make the switch to 3rd if the new job allows me to pick. My question is this... For those of you who work 3rd shift, how do you log your calories? I wake up at 9:30 p.m. to start my…

60 pounds gone FOREVER!
I can't figure out how to post pictures on here, so I'm just going to paste a link and hope that works. My heaviest was 320 pounds, currently I am at 260 and I am freaking proud of that number! I have been overweight pretty much my entire life and have tried everything you can think of to lose weight. Finally I have a…

How many grams?
I was wondering how many grams of protein people eat each day? I talked to a trainer at the gym and he said that 100 grams is a good number to hit.

NSV at the gym
I have to get the bulk of my cardio in on the bike because of my knee and ankle issues. Today while I was peddling away and wanting to give up, two of the trainers at the gym caught a peek at my progress on the screen and said they were very impressed to see me going for 20 miles. One of the trainers said that he couldn't…

NSV
This happened on Sunday, but I wanted to share anyways! :) I went shopping at Old Navy with hubby and since they don't carry the dreaded plus-sizes in store I usually never go in. Well I decided to scope out their "normal" sizes to see what they had. I really didn't care for anything I saw, but for giggles I tried on their…

Cheat meal/day
For those of you who have a cheat meal/day, do you log the food you ate anyway?

I think its time
So I've been on here for quite some time, but have yet to really add any friends. If you would like to be friends please feel free to send me a request.

Lost some, but...
Ok, so I'm really proud of the fact that I have lost 40 pounds and kicked my binge eating habit out the door; but even with the weight-loss I don't feel as though I have lost 40 pounds. I look at other peoples before and after photos of losing like 20 pounds and I see a huge difference, but when I compare pictures of…

Sick feeling?
Has anyone else ever experienced a nauseating feeling after walking? I've been walking at an easy 3.0 pace for just a little over an hour lately and each time I'm done and in the house after drinking some water I feel sick to my stomach. Can anyone explain this?

Eating your calories
Is it just me or is there anyone else WAY under their calorie goal? MFP has me eating 1,590 calories per day. I have a lot of weight to lose and thought that was too much for me since I want to lose. Anyways, I feel like I eat enough to fuel my body, I'm never starving nor do I feel weak. The problem is that 95% of the…

Two NSV's in 2 days!!!
Since I was super hungry and knew I still have a lot of calories left for the day I decided to stop by Burger King and just get a spicy chicken crisp sandwich. After I got home I took the top part of the bun off and took 2 bites. Then I logged on to MFP to log in the calories for this thing.... 460 calories!!! I put it…

NSV
There are no words to describe how I feel at this very moment. I went shopping today to look for a graduation dress and I found the cutest dress ever! I tried on the size that I usually wear and it was too big. They didn't have the next size down, so I went down another size just to see how much further I would be from…

Pics after losing close to 30 pounds
This is my first time posting pictures on here, so I hope this works. The first picture of me was taken with my brother and his wife on 7 Aug 2011. I weighed right around 320 maybe even a little more. The second picture was taken on 1 Oct 2011 and I believe my weight was right around 297. I weighed in today at 291.9. I…

Trying to make him understand
My husband knows I am working on losing weight and he supports me 110% I'm just having a hard time getting him to understand that I don't want junk in the house. He's a naturally small guy and doesn't have to worry about anything he puts into his body. I feel bad if I tell him he can't have chips and other junk in the…

Day started off crappy, but then...
Ok, so I weighed myself this morning and was totally bummed that I was up 6 pounds; so this afternoon I went out for some retail therapy. As usual whenever I step into a store for "plus sized" women I get p*ssed. I am the reason I am standing there looking for clothes. So anyway, I was looking for some cute dressed for the…

Not sure what to do.
Ok, so I talked to my doctor about my weight and asked him his thoughts on a 1,200 calorie/low carb lifestyle. He said that would be perfect and he usually eats between 1,200-1,400 calories per day. He told me that it will be harder for me to lose weight because of my genes. My brother was 400+ pounds before he had gastric…

My first NSV!!! :)
So 2 nights ago my husband and I were shopping and what have been my favorite shorts for a while kept sliding down my hips! I kept pulling at them. My husband asked what I was doing and when I pulled him to the side I showed him how my shorts didn't fit anymore! :) I can actually pull them down without unbuttoning or…

Need ideas how to eat during...
Ok, so here's what's up... I will be making a big move across country next month and I was wondering if any of ya'll have tips on how to eat healthy while spending most of my day on the road. It will be hard for me to pack a cooler considering my car is super tiny and going to be jam packed with household stuff. And you…

Binge eating... SOOO P*ssed Off!
It is just like a freaking revolving door with me... I lose a few pounds, then when I weigh myself I see that I gained a pound or two, maybe even three. I get so fed up I go on a binge; and this ain't no small binge either. Not only do I feel sick afterwards, but I am so totally disappointed with myself. The only time I…

Newbie!
Hello all! So I have been doing this thing for a week now. I have tried just about everything in the past except for the one thing that actually makes sense... Lifestyle change! I am a firm believer that you can't just cut out a food group all together... I am referring to CARBS! Anyway... I am not getting any younger and…
