Progress Report...with accompanying bar story
So...there is a bar in my home town that my friends and I go to whenever we are all home at the same time. Behind our usual booth is a plant. Sometimes I happen to be sitting just in front of the plant and something wonderful happens...its looks like it is growing out of my head! The first time this happened 5 years ago…

Ok, what is HAPPENING to me?!
I have just been for a 5.5K run and when I got home I had swelled up like the Incredible Hulk. Not only is my ring stuck on but my Pandora bracelet is cutting into my arm (its one of the "loose" leather ones) and my face is so big that I cant get my eyes all the way open. Oh yeah and when I poke my skin with my nail the…

I'm taking up a challenge
My challenge is 20 in 20. I want to - I am going to - lose a pound a week for the next 20 weeks which will hopefully bring me to my goal weight and the least I have ever weighed within my adult life. I am completely determined to look smokin' hot for the summer! I would massively appreciate some company though so if anyone…

More before and after photos
This is me with my Dad in Jamaica last August at my starting weight of around 210 pounds This is me on Tuesday - I haven't weighed myself recently because I prefer to just see how I look and feel but I would guess that I am around 185 pounds at the moment. Throughout my diet I have had problems accepting compliments and…

What do you guys think?
I work in the emergency department and a children's hospital and this occasionally involves working through the night ( 9pm until 7am). At the moment I am just temping for them - I used to come and help out when I was home from university but now I have graduated and haven't found a 'proper job' just yet I have taken on…

Small Victory!!!
I have to run into town this afternoon to buy a new dress for my friend's birthday tonight because all of my other clothes are too big! I think this is a cause for celebration! I would love it if you guys would share your small victories too - I'd love to hear about them!

I can see it now - sort of
These are my first before and after photos. The first one was taken at a friend's 21st birthday party just over a year ago when I weighed a bit more than I did when I first joined MFP and the second was taken during pre-graduation celebrations last week. I can't find a 'before' picture that is full length because I didn't…

Last week of uni
I am finding it very hard to turn down the pints and kebabs and the moment and VERY hard to drag myself to the gym with a headache! I am determined though and while I don't expect to lose any more weight this week I will make sure that I stick to my calories and don't put any on. I am just wondering what situations make…

The neck thing is weird!
When I first started logging my measurements I was puzzled as to why MFP asks you to record your neck measurements - surely the progress won't be that noticeable in that area? Well I have just taken my measurements and have lost an inch around my neck in the past two weeks - that's the same as the lost from around my…

Hangover days!
I was always a lightweight but now I've started eating much less, exercising more and drinking a lot more water I find that I cannot hold my alcohol at all. I end up with the worst hangovers ever! Now while I know the easy solution would be to stop drinking so much I am determined to make the most of my last month at uni…

I was in my allowance but I just feel like I am eating so mu
This is probably me being paranoid but I did a lot of exercise today - this being my first day having joined the gym and it was really sunny so I also walked the 2.5 miles home afterwards - so I was allotted over 2300 calories and I ate around 2000 of them. It just so happened that I met friends at a bar on the way home…

Does anyone else feel like this?
I feel enormous. Huge - worse than I ever did before I decided to do something about my weight because before I was in denial about it and now its all I can think about. I literally weigh and measure myself everytime I'm in the bathroom and check MFP every 5 minutes. I realise that its good that I'm really getting into my…

I need help!
Hi, I am a size 14-16 (US size 10 - 12 I think) and while at my absolute smallest I have only ever been a 12-14/8-10 I have been about 24 pounds lighter and that is the weight that I am trying to lose. On one occasion where I weighed myself in week 2 of my plan I had lost 4 pounds. However, I appear to have put those 4…

Super Noodle Warning!
I thought I had really lucked out with Bachelor's Super Noodles - theyre tasty, ridiculously cheap - which helps, because I'm a student and keep me filled up in the daytime. All this at only 175 Calories per pack - or so I thought. The pack weighs 100g and the nutrition information gives the calorie content at 175 per 100g…
