Trouble Staying Focused.
I have been on a roller coaster since October of 07. Never dieting though. I have lost and gained 10 lbs. My goal is to shed 50. I am consistent and then work gets in the way and then I am out of it for 2-3 weeks. So I am never on a great point. I am Maid of Honor in my best friend's wedding October 25 so that is my new…

Never Eat Out Again
while this may seem unrealistic, i think that with enough planning it can definitely be done. of course there will be instances where it cannot be avoided, but i am wondering what strategies you have taken to avoid falling into the eating out trap? not only is it unhealthy and expensive, but alot of times you really don't…

Help: water retention/period/TMI warning
Yes, I'm drinking lots of water. Is it possible that it won't help and I have to wait it out? I did eat some carbs today (some sugary stuff) but that can't explain why there's no poo (he he) even though I have downed over 100 oz of water. Also not peeing as much...and I generally pee all the time. (Esp this time of the…

Speaking of clothes sizes
Anyone having trouble shopping for new clothes?? I have always always....even since birth, worn plus sized clothing. I am just now fitting into 16 to 18 misses and a regular xl or maybe still a 1x top. I am seriously having a hard time going into my usual stores and knowing what the heck to look for. I AM NOT…

Back on the "Wagon"
Ok, so I joined this site like 2 or 3 weeks ago and had lost ZERO, yes count them, ZERO pounds!

And even though I had to eat cheapy fast food, which, FYI, I hate (GROSS!!)....which is good I guess because that caused to…

Is one week that important?
I have been trying to stay motivated and working out for the past couple of weeks but I am still only dragging myself to workout sessions a couple of times a week ( and doing the bare minimum). I am still keeping track of my calories but just not hitting the gym like I should. Would it be a good idea just to take a week…

size 8 pants fit!!!
I am so happy. I've lost 20 lbs and was complaining that I hadn't really change pants size. So, I placed a pant order (I nead to wear talls, so I couldn't just go and try some on) and took the chance that the size 8's would fit. And they do!! I haven't worn size eight in about forever, at least since I was pregnant with my…

nutrition guidelines
I sure wish that at restaurants and fast food places next to the price of the item they showed how many calories things were- It would make things so much easier you think they would do that considering that America has so many obesed people. You would be able to see how many calories you are getting at a sitting when you…

Protein
I am having a hard time getting enough protein in my diet. For me, dinner is the easiest place to add protein. I know eggs for breakfast would be a wise choice, however, I really don't have time in the morning. I also add a 100-calorie packet of almonds or eat sunflower seeds during the day, but other than that, I'm…

My stomach was feeling slightly off yesterday morning, but after being in the sun all day and having a regular cheeseburger from mcdonalds (I tried not to get anything but everyone wanted to stop and I needed something to tide me over till dinner) I really wasn't feeling well by the end of the day. So this morning I was…
