Im from Sotland but currently live in The Netherlands, just wondering if there is anyone else living in Holland on here? My friend thebomb4 and I are adding some Dutch foods on here as there doesnt seem to be much and its hard to compare calories and fat with the American and UK brands. :)

Why do all the non-dieters around you, have all the answers?
Constantly, at work, in social situations...anyone from colleagues to acquaintances who are not trying to "diet" or eat/exercise always seem to be experts? I have heard so much from these "experts" about how I should eat or what fad diet I should be on. And it's funny cuz most of em are overweight! But yet, they are always…

Motivation
What was/is your motivation to loose weight? I have a few things that keep me motivated: - My 10yr reunion from high school is in 2 years and I don't want to be the same "me" from high school - I read an article before the holidays about people carrying around a lot of extra weight/fat have a 13% chance of dying after…

Back problems, can we talk.
I have Firomyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. For the most part, these things do not bother me. I treat myself with a mostly clean, balanced diet. I also don't EVER let pain keep my butt from moving. The best thing for these things, is movement. I do confess to pushing myself too hard and often times do more harm than…

Does anyone use/heard of Light Therapy?
I have been in a funk for weeks. I think I might have Seasonal Affective Disorder. I need my sunshine (and my husband to get a day job so we can be home together at night - but that is another story). I have been very emotional and tired recently. I live on the East Coast where we are having a yucky winter. Anyway, I did…

Light bulb moment?
Don't know if many of you have ever had that lightbulb moment - but today something just hit me. In my entire adult life I have been the person that others can count on - me doing for them, helping them out. I thought things would be give and take in a friendship but that is where my problem began. Guess being bigger most…

Discouraging morning
Friday is weigh day. A week of being good, calorie wise and exercise wise, and the scales show no change. Lost 6 lbs the first week, 4 lbs the second, and none this past week. I know the loss slows down after the initial 10 lbs, but I wasn't expecting it to stop. This is my first time to diet and now I understand a little…

Still in the game-June Starters (2009)
So I thought I would move us down to motivation and support but I have no objection if anyone wants it moved back up. I thought since we have so many of our missed members returning this year we might want to change things up a bit. Hope to see lots of updates from my fellow JS. I need a little hand holding. :wink:

Tough to kick the Sweets!!
My war with my addiction probably started with the first cookie or brownie I had. The addiction I'm speaking of is the sweets/sugar addiction that many of us knowingly and unknowingly battle with or give in to daily. Pre-diabetes has been called America's largest health care epidemic. I'm not a big candy eater (i.e.…

Unique Challenges of being 40 Something
I really appreciate all the support that is given on this site. So many different people and unique stories. However, age is a factor in our personal stories. Being 45 years old, I am interested to hear about the particular challenges and successes others are having at weight loss and fitness training while in their 40's.

Soul Destroying moments
Hi folks, I've hit a few soul destroying moments over the last two weeks. I've been spot on almost everyday with my targets, with only a couple of days being slightly over (50-100kcals) but seen no loss after the initial fall. It's usually at this point in the past I have gave up and returned to the takeaway food and…
