Water Temp!
So I have recently been trying to drink more water since I got back into the swing of things. I have noticed ever since I started drinking more than 9 cups a day, I almost prefer room temperature water as opposed to cold water. Anybody notice anything similar?

Water weight question
Mmkay, so this last week, I'm averaging 10-15 cups of water a day. I eat lots of fiber. Yet, I lost no weight this week. But I think I'm holding on to that water. Don't get me wrong, when I'm thirsty, in usually go for water, but I'm suspecting my body is clinging to it. Should I consider trying a laxative or some other…

Is my goal unrealistic?
I currently have a goal to lose twenty pounds by New Years. Once I achieve that, I want to do a month of maintenance to try and maintain what I have done. I'm not a fitness guru, in fact, I only consider myself proficiently sarcastic. Do you think this goal is reaching too high? It will ultimately put me at 40lbs down, and…

I could scream
When signing up for Bodyspace- which is essentially Facebook for body builders, I was forced to take before photos. You guys, I am nearly in tears. I can't believe what I look like. I know I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life, I don't know what I expected, but it's like suddenly realizing how high this mountain is…

Not fit but funny.
So I'm not new, and I'm not fit either, but I'm reasonably hysterical. If you want someone sarcastic as a friend, add me and I can make you laugh. This is a long journey, and everyone needs a good laugh once in a while to break up their feed.

Fresh Start
Hey guys! So I've been on MFP on again and off again more than Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake in the 90's. I need to get back on track. I have a few friends on here, but only one of them is really actively supportive. I would love to have a little more support, if you guys are willing, I will support you guys as…

*face palm*
If I were to describe to you a person who never felt pretty, who never felt beautiful or sexy, I’m sure you could relate. I mean, that’s why we are here, right? To change to be something else- to be someone we have always wanted to be. Honestly, I have no idea what else to do. I’ve been here off and on for several years,…

My sister is harsh. But right.
I just came back from a visit from my family, where my sister (who is adopted from eastern Europe and can be a bit on the harsh side) told me that I had gotten fat. I would like to say she wasn't that harsh, but her exact words were, 'You know Steph, i hate to tell you this, but you've gotten really fat since I came back.…

To Cosmetologist on MFP- HELP!!!
I'm sure this is really specific group of people and I have no idea if any other Salon Professionals are on here, but I need some advice! Ladies, (and gents) you know how it goes in the Salon. You could be on your feet for hours straight, no breaks, no lunch, just working hard to make the money. I'm still in school, so all…

Women Problems- Gentlemen enter at your own risk.
Ok, ladies, i need some advice. You know how it is at that lovely time of the month, the scale seems to decide to jump up a few pounds here and there to just add to your hormonal issues along with chocolate cravings, crabbiness, and overall charming demeanor. Now, I am one of those fortunate ladies (take that sarcastically…

Weightloss Take Two
Okie dokie, so last year I started my fitness pal to get smaller before I got married. It worked and I lost fifteen pounds (no where near my goal, but I felt great!) Over the course of my new marriage I have gained back all the weight I had lost. I am pretty ashamed of myself. I came back to try and fix the issues. I've…

Another Backhanded NSV
I know we’ve seen this a thousand times on here- but it happened to me and I had to share this. As I was walking back from the break room (after refusing an unhealthy breakfast of bacon and French toast provided by the drug reps) I was stopped by one of the nurses. “Oh, Stephanie, you’re losing some weight aren’t you?”…

A Surprising NSV
A few weeks ago I found an old pair of slacks in the bottom of my drawer. I remembered them being a size 12 and just for kicks and giggles I pulled them on to see if I could squeeze into them. They fit, sorta, there was a serious muffin top and they looked like they were tights in the thigh area, but it gave me some hope!…

NSV- Time to invest in a belt!
I'm only down four pounds, but I thought I would share a small compliment I received from my boyfriend on Sunday. I had bought a pair of jeans at Lane Bryant (a huge blow to my self-esteem) and wear them very rarely. We went to go look at dogs so I was changing out of a skirt ( I like the elastic waistbands, they don't…

Kitchen Scales- Pro or No?
I was at Ross the other day when I saw a kitchen scale for sale at about 15 dollars. I knew this was a good price for one, and I remember that when I was on weight watchers they really encouraged the buying of a kitchen scale. (Of course, theirs were the best.) This morning I was discussing with a friend the actual purpose…

Hello all. I started MFP almost two weeks ago. I've been lurking in the shadows, reading your success stories and man are they inspiring! I have some IRL friends on here, but I'm happy to be friends with anyone now. I'm noticing I how much success people have when they are surrounded by supporters. So the call goes out.…
