Not Overweight anymore!
This journey started 2 years ago, at 238 pounds. After losing my first MFP account, a good weight loss on deployment, and some backsliding, my BMI is finally back to normal and I am over halfway there to my final goal... at least final until I make a new one. Today, I am feeling pretty good. I'm not there yet, but I am a…

Thank you for being here.
I finally got the courage to put up a picture of myself... In a bikini. It is in my profile (hint, I am the girl in the bikini) That was me 10 pounds ago... I am beginning to realize that I wasn't that bad to begin with... but I can be so much better! Normally, a picture of me in a swimsuit would horrify me, but being here…

Not there yet, but I am happy today.
I tried on my favorite pair of jeans that I bought about 3 months after my last deployment. ( Aeropostale 9/10) They have been too small for *mumble mumble* months. I tried them on this morning. They fit with no muffin top and totally comfy... Given this was at the very beginning of my day (at my lightest) but it means…

Body image and acceptance...
A recent thread reminded me of something that always made me laugh... I have a challenge/dare for anyone here. Go to a nude place... nude beach, nude hot springs, just nude and water focused. Odds are, after 15 minutes you will feel 200% more comfortable and more accepted than if you were on a standard beach/pool. Naked…

Knowledge isn't always power...
I'm just in a slump. We went TDY, and I fell off... hard. Little exercise, southern food, and enough alcohol to drown a fish. So I need to get back on... I know this. I know how to eat healthy, I have great workout routines that I love, and I have a job that means I HAVE to workout. Help me find my motivation, because…

Fit Deck?
Has anyone purchased these? I just bought a couple off of Amazon, because I am looking for a way to spice up my running... well, once I start running. I am an elliptical girl, but I need to run to be able to run faster. Sucks how that works. So anyway, anybody a fan?

Eating enough food...
How in the heck can you do it? I have real problems getting my minimum calories unless I eat pure crud. How do you get all of your calories in and not resort to eating bad food?

Crytal Light Fiber water..
Otherwise known as "Even a camel gets sick of plain water" I bought it. I tried it. I usually drink at least 3 liters of water a day (usually more) and I wanted to try some Crystal Light to switch things up a bit. I accidently bought the fiber version, but fiber is good for you, right? The moral of the story is... don't…

Foods that burn fat?
Saw this mentioned in another thread... Do such things exist? Do they mean negative calorie foods and just foods that allegedly boost metabolism? Just confused and curious... any answers would help.

MFP Flunkie... they always come back
Heh, last time I was here I was losing the baby weight and trying to get a passing PT score (75 minimum) Now I am back with a brand new challenge! Our shop started a Biggest Loser contest, and I have some poundage that needs to go away... and I have to beat my friend Karl. I scored an 86 on my last PT test, but we have new…
