JUNE STARTERS
Ok, this group came about from one of my posts.... It seemed that a lot of us are in the same spot (I'm in the middle of my second week) so we thought how fabulous to start a group for all of us on the "same page" so to speak. So, for now, I am identifying us as JUNE STARTERS becuase we haven't came up with a name yet…

Just an FYI Regarding Your Period and Weight Gain
I see this question come up quite often and thought I would help out. Maybe we can thumbtack this to help the people that join in the future. I know it can be a frustrating time for women. PMS causes bloat which in turn causes your weight to fluctuate, which is why a scale should only be used as a guideline during weight…

food buffets
So...yesterday my hubby and I went to this dinner/play thing we had gotten as a gift. The dinner was a buffet. I tried desperately to stick to healthy options (but come on, let's be serious...) and wound up eating much more than I needed to.

just a bad day all around. ):
I'm not happy right now, I just ate my weight in beef stew, I've been stuck on the same weight since months ago, my sisters friend passed away this morning, and I think I'm getting the flu back. I need motivation or something, the whole "tomorrow is a new day" thing isn't a good quote for procrastinators like me.

I know this has been beat to death. . but
I KNOW that this subject has been brought up a "zillion" times already, but I never really paid attention because I didn't think I'd ever need one. I'm talking about the HMR's. I'm so close to my goal weight that I figured "why spend the money?" But, I just keep yo-yoing with my weight, for like the last 6 months at least,…

Aunt Flo...
So it is always a given that you retain water during your (ladies) TOM? Or is it possible to not be bloated, or to not retain fluid? I am checking the scale, and only see about 1 lb difference from my current weight... so could that mean that I am not bloated/retaining water, or that I am, and could actually be a little…

Liquid Fasting
My friend has recently came off a liquid fast (he is 119 lbs so he did this for other reasons) and I became quite interested in reading up on this. I've heard and read a few good things about it. But I also heard that once the fast is over that you will gain all the weight you lost back,almost automatically. I guess Im…

Serving Sizes
I eat healthy most of the time and exercise 4 times a week, but sometimes I want to eat what I want. So does it matter if I have like pizza,as long as I have the appropriate serving size and I don't go over my calories for that day?
