Here I am again :)
How is everyone? I am sorry I've been so absent lately. My sister left yesterday, but I have started back working again at my father in law's store 3 days a week, so I've been a little busy! :) I've missed everyone though and hopefully I'll be getting some internet time on the days I'm not working. By the time I get up in…

Burned more calories then ever!
Okay so I went rock climbing (at a rock climbing gym ) today and burned about 400 cals, then I went right to the gym for an hour (didn't work real hard since I was tired from climbing) and burn another 400 cals! So total cals burned...800!!! That may not seem like a lot to some people, but I started two months ago with NO…

Stuck on the last 10 pounds, any advice?
Hello, I have lost about 20 pounds recently (some before MFP), and I have about 10 more to lose. The first 20 came off pretty quickly, but now I feel stuck. I am on a 1200 calorie plan (1.5 pounds per week). I have heard to change my work out routine, or increase my calories. Anyone out there with advice on how they broke…

Confession: I haven't...
Please forgive me. Today was the first day that I've been to the gym in almost 2 months. I have been losing weight still, but I feel like it's been a lot slower than if I would have been going to the gym these last 8 weeks. I have been walking a lot more and wii fitting a bit too, but it just doesn't match a good sweat at…

never thought I'd have THIS issue...
So, I'm baffled (and happy!) at the position I've found myself in the last little while. My cals have been reduced as I'm shrinking (yay!) and at first I thought 'I'm going to have to work out all day every day to survive this!' since at first, I NEEDED my exercise calories because without I would really feel starving. Now…

OT - Have fun!
This post is inspired by recent events, a certain girl in my life, and an episode of Scrubs. We all spend so much time focusing on our lives that we often forget to take time and smell the roses. We focus on losing weight, eating right, going to work, picking the kids up at soccer, cooking dinner, paying bills, getting in…

Loosing Inches?
I decided to ditch the scale a couple of months ago and I am just measuring myself. I figured with water retention and muscle gain that the scale would just disappoint me, but my tape measure never does. I was just curious if anyone out there is judging their weight loss by the inches instead of the pounds? Also what are…

I'm coming back
I know most of you don't even remember me but I certainly remember all of you. I lurke around the message boards all the time. Life has been extremely hard lately and I just haven't had the energy needed to count calories and watch what I eat. But that is going to change. I have gained back all the weight that I lost at…

OT: Bathroom Design Opinion
Hey all, we are updating our main hall bathroom in our condo and put black and white floor tiles in. We are trying to figure out what color to paint the walls. White would look fine but we are trying give it a warmer/soothing feel. It's a pretty small bathroom, no window, but super high ceilings and a skylight so there is…

The guilt...
I know you are supposed to eat a set amount of calories, plus exercise ones too. I do eat them, BUT I cannot get over the guilt of eating them all! SO WEIRD...I am seeing results (well on a plateau right now). What is wrong with me?? Grrrrrr....I need to get over this mental issue! :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

It's Summer time...

With the summer comes tons of outdoor activities , and with my son and daycare kiddies, it is MUCH easier to be out and about than stuck inside all day. So we try to have a new adventure each day. The splash pad (think HUGE water…
