Corruption is complete!
So, I posted last week about how I discovered I like yogurt--still can't believe that one! But now, I have indeed been thoroughly corrupted by MFP and healthy eating habits! I can never return to the dream foods of my youth :sad: What brought about this complete corruption? SOY MILK! Yes, soy milk. I had also posted about…

Taking Things Too Far?
My mother has been obsessed with weight loss since January. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of her for losing what she has, but I think she has taken it too far and it is starting to worry me. At 5'6" and 53 years old, she started at 166 lbs. and starved herself throughout the winter (800-900 calories a day) to reach…

Parents, please help!!!
It all started last Thursday, my 6 year old Tyson was with my brother in law, who decided it was cool to watch a horror movie with my kid around.

BBC Show--"I'm a Boy Anorexic"
Did anyone else watch the BBC Show tonight "I'm a Boy Anorexic"? Those kids just about broke my heart! The one boy said he had been eating 200 calories a day! :frown: One of the kids was just 11.

Perspective?
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone else finds that perspective can affect your weight loss? What I mean is do you find that concentrating on what you have left to lose to get to your goal can sometimes affect your current progress? Is it better to concentrate on the your past success? I recently added a ticker to my…
