Monthly loss . . . anyone else have this??
So I got on the scale this morning to find that I've lost a pound virtually overnight. This is my week (grumble, grumble) and I'm about halfway through. Last month and this month both, I found that I gain weight the week before my period and then it drops off and then some the week of - it's so wierd! It's almost enough to…

Someone Slap Me.
I knew this was going to happen and i'm so freakin' pissed about it. I was doing so good with my weightloss and being on track and then BAM, the month of Ramadan came around and I had to fast and couldn't go do my workouts. I was so afraid I would lose track and guess what, I have. I am so scared that I won't be able to…

Stop beating yourself up please!
Seriously... I realized today that I get really drained after reading posts on this site now. It seems that every other post contains a person bashing themselves because the scale is showing a pound higher than the day before. This site is littered with posters constantly telling people 'That pound is NOT fat', 'It's water…

Does anyone have any suggestion about a reliable brand of scales??? I have gone through two so far and literally can't stand on them twice in a row without getting a different number! Ah, it's so frustrating! I actually have the nerve to get on them and they won't give me an accurate reading! :sad: Please help...

A few smart mouth days, a few groundings, you know the typical teenage stuff. Then, and im not exagerating, suddenly its like he did a 360…

hmpf, Jillian on Biggest Loser
I have to vent!! I LOVE to watch The Biggest Loser while I'm working out! It's funny how it really gives me the incentive to keep going b/c I'm watching these people pour their hearts and souls into it on television. I have to say though... Jillian's tactics of breaking her team down (and maybe hoping to build them back…

calorie counters
Does anyone know how accurate the calorie count from a LifeFitness gym machine might be? I can't currently afford a heart rate monitor, but I'd like to be as accurate as possible when I'm entering my calories burned. The university had all LifeFitness treadmills and ellipticals and what not and they will tell you "how many…

Grocery Shopping
So I must say that I am very proud of myself for the simple fact that I went grocery shopping and didn't buy anything bad for myself. I so badly wanted to buy the sugary cereal, the chocolates, the cake stuff, the tater tots, pizzas, and anything else that was bad but I didnt. I found myself getting hungry towards the end…
