It's like I've hit a wall
I started on MFP Jan 2, 2012. Since then I've dropped 52 lbs. That was all lost in 2012! In 2013 I have managed to stay the same weight, but unable to break out of the 150's. It's like I have completely hit a wall. I know what works and I know what I need to do... I'm just not doing it! I'm not gaining - so that's great,…

Making up for the weekend
This weekend I ate around 3,000 calories over my goal. What are your thoughts on netting below 1200 a few of the following days to help make up for it? Afterall, your body can't tell time right? Just looking for thoughts on this. Does anyone else do this?

Lady interested in lifting heavy
I have heard of so many amazing results from lifting. I have no idea what I am doing or where to start. I'd like to be able to do something from my home and I'm not opposed to purchasing equipment/weights.

I do plug my calories in from my HRM reading and I do eat a portion of them back. I typically net anywhere from 1300-1500 calories a day. Lately I've…

How do you move past the horrible comments
Today I was reading about everyone’s most embarrassing fat moments. It made me think about growing up overweight. I have been heavier since I can remember. I cannot forget the mean/negative things people have said to me. When I was around 10 years old I overheard my brother (who was in high school at the time) talking to…

Eating out?
Well I have been on my "serious" weight loss journey for 10 days now! =) This isn't my first go-around, but I am pretty excited about this new lifestyle change! With that said, I have been under my calorie goal every day and have been sneaking in some exercise when I am able. It seems like life creates many obstacles - I…

6lbs in four weeks ??
I started MFP 4 weeks ago. I have lost 6lbs total. I have been reading several success stories and I was wondering what the others weight loss time frames were? I am happy about 6lbs in 4 weeks, but also bummed as well. I wish it was coming off faster... I have so far to go!
