This is NOT a selfie thread!
Because apparently we talk too much in the selfie thread.

Who loves musicals?
I know you're out there. Favorites?

I had a random thought! Start a new thread, or let it pass?
I just don't know you guys. What do you think?

51 down, 110 to go!
I *finally* got back down to that magical 50 pounds down number! Last time I hit this weight, was over 2 years ago! (September 2014) I got to 50 pounds down, then moved. Moving is super stressful to begin with, but my husband is a pastor and we moved so he could start at his first church, and everyone there was super crazy…

Riding the Weight Roller Coaster
When I got engaged in July 2010, I weighed 300 pounds. When I got married in May 2011, I weighed 270 pounds. When I moved to South Carolina in August 2011, I weighed 250 pounds. When I moved to Texas in August 2012, I weighed 280 pounds. When I moved back to SC in August 2013, I weighed 330 pounds! (I hated my job in Texas…

Getting it right this time. (100+ to lose)
I'm down 44 pounds from my highest weight, and have 117 to go. I have been down this road several times, always giving up after a few months, because I've always - in some part of my brain - felt like trying to lose weight should be like a punishment for allowing myself to get so heavy in the first place. Like I have to…

100+ lbs to lose w/ dreams of being a runner
Something I've always wanted to do was complete a 5k run. It's been on my bucket list for years. My weight and endurance have always been my biggest (no pun intended) obstacles, and every time I've managed to lose weight, I've moved (literally, half way across the country multiple times) gotten super stressed, and ate all…

Getting back to it after having a baby!
Hi everyone! I've been on MFP for a while, but went inactive for a while when I got pregnant back in January. I had my monster of a son (9lbs 11.5oz, 23 inches long) on October 22 (after 36 long hours of labor, but a quick 45 minutes of pushing!), and 2 months later, am finally able to get back to some activity. I got a…

50 pounds gone! :)
On Mother's Day this year, I realized if I want to be a mom, I need to lose some weight. I was 330 pounds. That was May 11. I set an ambitious goal date of my 31st birthday to lose the first 50 pounds. Over the last week and a half, the scale seemed stuck. I couldn't move past 282. This morning, my scale said 280. My…

I am back!
Hey y'all! I joined this group a while back and them promptly went pretty silent. I was in the process of moving from South Carolina to Indiana, and didn't really post all that much on the forums. All of my regular groups/threads got neglected. Well, I'm all moved in, mostly unpacked, mostly settled, and have internet…

I LOST weight on vacation!
And... it put me at 40 pounds gone. I'm not sure why that's such a big deal to me, but it is... So I wanted to share it. :) I still have a long way to go, but this puts me at about the quarter-of-the-way mark, and I did it while on vacation (for almost 2 weeks!) That's all. Not sure it counts as a success story, but I…

Salmon Recipes!
Would you guys believe I've *never* had salmon?! I want to change this, but I don't have any salmon recipes in my arsenal! What are your favorites? I try to eat fish twice a week, but usually it's tilapia, and I wanna change things up. :)

Moving companies...
Hey all! My husband and I will be moving from South Carolina to Indiana in a few weeks. He will be starting as a pastor, so the church is picking up the tab for our move, but the church coucil wants us to get the quotes and pick our preference. We are looking for a company that will drive the truck (my husband and I aren't…

Question about my first time...
I'm doing it tonight, guys. After seeing so many comments about how wonderful it is, I can't resist. I just need some help making a decision. WHICH ONE FIRST?! (Yes, you're reading this correctly... I have never actually tried Talenti before.)

Why I shouldn't listen to my husband...
"You should make those cookie dough truffles," he said. I said, "No... I shouldn't" "They will be so good, and we can take them with us on our trip!" he said. I said "I will eat them all." And he gave me that LOOK, those sad puppy eyes that I can't say no to, and he knows it. So I made them, and they are ~160 calories…

Progress picture frequency?
Hello everyone. :) I'm just wondering how frequently you all take progress photos (if you take them). I know the scale isn't always the best indicator of progress, and photos can be helpful. So do you take them monthly? Every time the scale says 10 pounds? 25 if you have a lot to lose? When you hit a fitness goal and need…

Diet Bet (Friendly competition)
Have you all seen the website dietbetter(dot)com? I'm not advertising for it or anything, I was just wondering if It would be possible to do a little no money or pictures involved, honor system based, friendly competition. I want to see if I can do this (without money involved) before I go put money down. :) I don't really…

What is it about the first 10 pounds?
Today I hit 10 pounds lost, and I am so completely excited and proud of myself! It's great motivation to keep going, and makes me feel like I can actually DO THIS. Which is good, because I need to do this about 15 more times (I think I can handle losing 10 pounds, 15 times... doesn't seem as scary as looking at "I need to…

Tracking gadget help and info, please!
I currently have a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor (which was purchased after getting feedback from here, so thanks!) and have used it in the past to track my workouts. I really like it, and am using it again after replacing the battery and battery cover, but I'm also curious about other gadgets that track activity other than…

No more lurking!
Hello. I've been using this site (again) for the last 2 weeks, and thought it was time to stop lurking about the forums and introduce myself. I wanted to wait until I was sure I could stick with it this time. I realized on Mother's day that if I was *ever* going to celebrate as a mom, I needed to get the weight off, and…
