I can't believe my ______ got smaller!!!
As I have said in previous posts, this is the first time in my whole life I actually committed to losing weight and having success with it. There have been times where I have lost 10-12lbs here and there without trying (I was sick, or super busy at work) but that was very temporary and not a product of any effort on my…

Just Lost All Feelings of Accomplishment
I am literally posting this bc I am at work and about to burst into tears and I feel like if I don't vent, I will lose it. To begin with, I am exhausted from my event yesterday and I am pre-menstrual, so I am sure that doesn't help me. But there were a lot of pics taken at my event that I managed yesterday and my co-worker…

Giant Eagle Shopping
So is anyone here in the Pittsburgh/Ohio/WV area, and gets their food at Giant Eagle? I religiously read the circular cover to cover each week and clip coupons because, let's face it, eating healthy is a commodity in the US and the economy isn't great, so every dollar save helps. Each week, I make a list of groceries that…

Batman Filming = Bonus Exercise!
Ok, so my office building is right in the smack middle of the batman shenanigans! I did some stalking before I got in this morning, and will be "going to get Starbucks" in about 30 mins.

I think I prefer...
...MFP.com to Facebook at this point. I mean, I know I do. Besides the fact that I am basically over Facebook anyway, I realized now that it is my lunch hour and I am sitting at my desk eating a Smart Ones meal, I went to check MFP immediately, and not Facebook. I prefer chatting with you all so much more and seem to…

Two Things That I Am VERY Stressed About
I feel like I now live on this Motivation and Support board, particularly on the weekends when I don't have much to distract me from boredom eating. Here are my two questions/issues: 1. Is anyone going through a situation where what you are losing now is weight from a really big weight gain and your accomplishments don't…

I wanted to be sure first...
Hi, everyone! I have been using Myfitnesspal.com (aka the Miracle Worker) for about 6 weeks now. I didn't want to share my story until I was sure I was really ready to commit to losing weight.
