Looking for fellow MFP'ers on Contrave...
I have used MFP on and off for years now and had a lot of success a few years back with weight loss. I am back in the groove of tracking calories and moving more - and my doctor also put me on Contrave. I was hesitant to start it, but so far, so good. (It's only been a couple of days!) I am looking for fellow MFP'ers who…

I love to eat out and I live in a city that has awesome food so I usually go out 1-2 times a week. I know all the usual tips of scaling down and I have been doing them (dressing on the side, skinny…

Realistic to lose 50 lbs in 5 months?
I am getting married on October 10th (yay!) and I really want to get back to my "fighting weight" which was (sigh) about 50 lbs ago. I used MFP with a lot of success in the past along with running multiple times a week - but life changes, stress and injury got me sidetracked. Now, I don't have the time or ability (knee and…

Regained weight and feeling down
Hi everyone, I have been a MFP member for a few years now and starting in January 2012 I made the promise to myself to get fit. I did not want to live the rest of my life as an overweight person.

Scared to reach goal weight?
Hi everyone, I know this might sound crazy (and I still have another 30+ lbs to go!) but I feel like I am getting a little scared of *actually* reaching my goal weight.

The Fast Diet - thoughts?
Just read about this on NYTimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/03/fashion/england-develops-a-voracious-appetite-for-a-new-diet.html?src=me&ref=general Any thoughts? You eat what you like 5 days a week and then very low calorie (almost fasting) 2 days a week. I might try it just to change things up.

-20 LBS and a NSV, too!
I have reached my first goal of losing 20 of the almost 100 lbs I'd like to lose by the end of 2012 - 20% down! Yay! The real highlight of my week, however, was my NSV which was NOT having to wear spanx under a dress that I would have had to just two months ago. Double yay! Thanks to all of my friends on here - as well as…

Lean Cusisines, frozen meals in general
Hi all - just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on lean cuisines, smart ones, etc. I usually have them maybe 3-5 times max per week. I know the sodium count is high, but I do like hot food for lunch and these help me control my portions. I noticed on another thread where someone asked for grocery shopping tips most…
