84 Pounds gone, 4 more left to hit my goal
I wish I had done this 10 years sooner, but given my own tendencies, (Translation: I'm lazy as hell when it comes to taking care of myself.) it makes sense that none of this would click for me until now and with today's technology. It's taken me a year and a half to lose this weight and the journey was totally worth it.…

30 pounds from my goal!!
A year ago today when I started MFP, I weighed 240 pounds, wore a size 20 and had a 45" waist. Today I weigh 185 pounds, wear a size 14 and have a 37" waist. By my birthday this October, my goal is to weigh 155. I used to think that getting to that weight would be impossible, but now it is completely in reach. Thank you,…

Useful weight loss studies
I heard about these recently on NPR and thought I'd pass these on as I found them insightful: Avoid Potatoes, Eat Nuts and Yogurt http://www.npr.org/2011/06/23/137376133/trying-to-lose-weight-study-says-avoid-potatoes Why it's so hard to keep off the weight…

This used to be easy...
When I first started using MFP, I was amazed at how easy it was for me. The weight just kept coming off each week and I hardly worked out and didn't feel deprived. But lately it's become a struggle. I started exercising regularly and seemed to suddenly hit a plateau. Then my calorie allowance dropped below 1800 calories…

A lot of struggling and a little NSV
At the end of last month I was thrilled at having lost five more pounds and I was feeling great about how things were going. And then my progress seemed to stall. Funny how last month I hardly exercised, but I was shedding pounds like crazy and then this month I starting doing this 10,000 step challenge and suddenly no…

A sudden series of NSV
I've been very slowly losing weight over the past three months and while the scale was giving me good news, I couldn't tell otherwise that I'd lost any weight. Clothes seemed to fit pretty much the same and I didn't see anything different in the mirror. My boyfriend kept saying he could tell I had lost weight, but I wasn't…

Favorite workout song?
What's that one song you have to hear when you work out or, when it pops up on your player, re-energizes you even if you are exhausted from a tough workout? Right now for me that song is "Discipline" by Nine Inch Nails, but I'd love to hear what you all enjoy. I love adding to my playlist. :smile:

Exercises to strengthen bad knees
Anyone know of some good exercises that can help me strengthen my knees? I love to go cycling and hiking, but my weak knees keep me from going as far or as hard as I'd like. I've been doing leg presses and leg curls at the gym and some stretches that my doctor recommended, but would love to know if anyone else has dealt…

Just realised there's a website for this app...
I just wanted to say hello, especially to my fellow Angelenos. A trainer at the gym recommended this app to me to help me and just now realised there's a whole website for this. It's kind of nice knowing there's even more to this than just typing in my weight and food intake. I'm very inspired by the people I've seen who…
