At that point.

I constantly catch myself saying " i don't want to", "i just don't feel like doing it anymore"...I think support is more helpful than any thing.

Respect Yourself
Has anyone noticed that once you say the words "now I'm serious" everything converges against you?! It is amazing how people and events can really get in the way of your plans. I need some strategies for working around the 'interruptions." I don't have kids, so that's not the problem, but I do have family and friends and…

SO CLOSE to giving up!
Ok, first off I have to say I'm thankful I'm not gaining more weight. But I'm still ticked off that I'm not losing any weight!

When did you notice?
I'm down about 5lbs, or so I think, (I think I need a new scale) and really the only difference I've noticed is that I moved up a belt hole in my work pants. So I was wondering, How much weight had you lost before you could look in the mirror and actually notice that your body had changed?

Changing your profile pic to a childhood pic...who's in?
I was thinking, how about for atleast one week during the month of April, we encourage all our mfp to change their profile pic to a picture of them as a kid. I think that would be fun to bring out the kid in all of us. Its a reminder that as a kid, we rode our bike or played tag for hours. If we could get back to that…

I have always only drunk water or tea. I don't eat processed food, or meat, I don't like pizza especially, we don't get take aways, I don't eat cake or chocolate or biscuits.
