Another NSV
Ok, little TMI.....I'm 5'4" and wear a 40DDD bra. When I bought these new about 6 months ago they fit very nicely (one was a little snug). I've been doing MFP since the end of July and I've notice my bras getting a little bigger and gapping a little. Today I hooked it on the 3 row of hooks (last one) to make it fit right.…

How to.....pictures?
I don't know where else to post this.....How do you guys make the composite pics of your befores and afters? What program are you using to do this? I'm doing the 30DS and would like to show off my results (if any) at the end of the 30 days. Please let me know how you did it!!!

I'm feeling really bad about myself
I know I'm sad because this is the 3rd night I'm sleeping alone this week and I still have 3 more to go before my husband comes back home from his business trip. And then he's only one 2 nights before he's gone again next week. I'm on Day 7 of 30 DS and I'm committing to it. I've gained 3 lbs since I started and only had 1…

WTF?!?!?!
I've been diligently watching my food. I know that on Friday my experiment failed. I can only eat cheese in small moderate amounts (like a topping) and not the bagel with cream cheese and small pizza (350 calories) I ate on Friday. I'm bloated and constipated still. I did go out to eat on Friday night but was relatively…

I know the problem, I know how to fix it, now how don't I gi
Before this weekend I had lost a total of 12 lbs. I went out to dinner with a friend but made healthy choices. Okay, the drink she bought me (before I had scanned hers to see the calories) was a little much and I wouldn't have drank it if she hadn't bought it. But I've been trying to experiment with adding more calories…

Do you ever......
Feel like giving up because you've tried to lose weight, tried to exercise, tried to change, etc. in the past with minimal changes and so you just don't feel like doing it again because you don't think your body can actually change? Am I the only one? I know I'm just discouraged because I have this darn belly and even when…

Feeling Heavy.....yuck
Somehow I just knew that 185 was going to be my first plateau. And I was right!!! Almost a week ago I got down to 185.2 and since then am 'up' to 185.8. Not a huge difference or even statistically significant but in almost a week I haven't lost either. My calories are always low so I started wondering if they were too low…

What am I getting myself into?!?!
I have lost 12 lbs but I'm still all flabby. I've started exercising 3-5 days a week on my elliptical but I want results. So what am I planning on doing?!?! Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred!!!! What am I thinking!?!? Day 1 is on Comcast On Demand and I will use that until my video starts and so I watched a little last night.…

NSV....and my first visual success!!!
This journey is really hard for me and even though I've lost 12 lbs already it's hard for me to be excited because my first goal is still 15 lbs away (this discourages me). But I finally had a NSV that I can share!!! Last year I bought a pair of size 16 jeans that were really really tight on me (but how do you pass up Levi…

Trying not to be discouraged
I have always been the short fat one in my family. My dad's 5'11", mom's 5'7" and sister is 5;8-9". I am a whopping 5'4" with the right shoes on. My mom put me on my first diet at the age of 13 because I was fat. She continued telling me I was fat all through high school even though I graduated high school weighing 117 #s.…

Yo Yo's suck!!!
I have started paying very close attention to what I eat and how that affects me and my weight. Before I thought I was eating healthy but I wasn't exercising and what I thought was healthy eating was in reality way too high in calories. I finally broke through my first goal....getting out of the 190s and then the day after…

My Journey
My journey is not pretty. And its a road that I don't like being on. Let's be real....I have issues with food. As a therapist I'm introspective enough to know where they come from. From a mother who gained a whole LOT of weight after she quit smoking and projected it on me, being put on my first diet at 13 because I was…

My husband is home!!!! HELP!!!
My husband is home after 3 weeks of business travel. The first weekend he had to stay in Miami (I know, poor him) and I joined him to deal with my deceased uncle's estate (and time with him). The 2nd weekend he came home (and we ate out almost every meal) and then the left again and came home last night. The help part is…
