Need friends!
Hi all, I'm sort of new here but loving it!! I feel so much more accountable, I'm even flossing my teeth every day! Ok every other day but that is still impressive for me. I like how tracking your food/exercise makes you more aware of, well, everything. BUT I feel weird searching through users and adding random people, so…

What have you done right today?
So often we focus on what we didn't do or what we could do better- and there is definatly a place for that, but so often we don't give our self credit for the good things we do. So share (or think of something) that you have done right today ONLY positive, no but then's or negitive thought-comments to take away from your…

Looking for a workout buddy in my area.....needing a little
I think that MFP is a nice website, easy to use and has pretty much every food in the data base that you can think of, which is the main reason that I enjoy it. I am not really new to the area that I live in but am not from that area either. We have lived there for almost 4 years now and since neither my fiance nor myself…

Bariatric Surgery coming up
So.. I jumped through all the hoops, and now have my bariatric surgery scheduled for June 13th.. thus far. I'm incredibly anxious and excited. I am by no means using this as 'an easy out'... having this surgery is only a tool to help me get to my goal. The work that is involved afterwards is insane!! But if I can stick…

I'm Back!!!!!!!
Well, I've been off of this list for about 2 weeks. I was mega sick and now I am back. I am taking it slow, I think more because I feel like I am sticking my feet in the sand than because I was sick and off my plans for a while. Anyway, it is good to be back.

What have you accomplished this week?.... Celebrate the smal
It seems that there are a lot of people that are down about not being where they want to be, either with weight loss or fitness. So, I think its time for everyone to take a look at the small stuff! What did you do last week that you would have never of done a year ago? It can be as small as walking up the stairs without…

damn emotional eating
Well, yesterday I was told I'll be laid off work July 1. My MIL lives with us and is on hospice. Yesterday was a really bad day. She was in alot of pain. I finally got her to swallow some liquid morphine. 4 months ago we moved her in with us. Her doctor said she probably only had a couple of weeks to live. Since she's…

Peeps lets get together and drop a dress size ... :)

I am tired of looking at clothes that I really like but not even considering…

Military spouses supporting each other
Anyone with a deployed service member on here that wants to support each other, or anyone who has been in that boat. This isn't my first trip on the merry go round, but it doesn't seem to get any easier. I have done pretty good over the past 7 months or so, but I am faltering a bit now. I guess it's a busy time of year,…

What have you done RIGHT today? Day 6
To often we ONLY reflect on the things we didn't do or could have done better - there is a place for that but we also need to reflect on the things we have done right. ONLY positive comments- so tell me what have you done right, last night or today? * mine is* Day 2 of INSANITY complete. Had the GNC AMP Protein with in 30…

Thanks :)
I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone who posts. I was having a rather down day and thinking of skipping my usual lunch-time workout. Then I logged on to MFP to log my lunch and stuck around to read a few posts. Y'all motivated me to get to the gym. Some days it really helps to know that you aren't in it…

Sleep Apnea
OK, So I just CANNOT sleep with the stupid mask, and it's not like I have not tried. I have tried almost every night consistently for over a year. Even if I do fall asleep with it on I rip it off at night. I have only 3 times in over a year made it a (almost) full night sleep with the mask on. I have also tried a different…

Motivation and Mini Goals
Up until about 2 weeks ago I was doing really well. I had lost about 8 pounds with myfitnesspal, and about 20 total since I started my weight lose journey. Unfortunately I've gained back about 12 pounds and I am not at all happy about it! I have been eating bad and not working out. Today I am getting pack on track but I've…

Next step...breathing!
I bought a few new items of clothing recently because my old size 28 were falling off. But I don't want to buy too much because I'm still losing. :) I recently celebrated my 40th birthday and I got a gift card for clothes. SO I decided I won't go shopping again until I am comfortably in an 18. I'm wearing 22 right now and…

horrendous decision
Arrgh. Overindulged to the tune of 700 calories yesterday!!!!! I've been so good for the fortnight I've been trying to sort my life out - running 5 days a week, watching what I eat... and then I had to go and eat 4 slices of pizza for dinner. Why? What is it that makes me do this? And most of all... do I be honest and keep…

Need some pointers and advice!!!
Hi, I realize that this is really annoying to read but I was hoping to get some feed back. I'm trying set up a well balanced healthy plan to stick to for a couple weeks or so to reset myself. I'm a total sugar addict. Trying to focus as much as possible on veggies! I'll be adding some veggie snacks throughout. These are…

Plateau... Already?
I've been a MFP since mid-January, though I didn't really start taking it seriously until the begining of February. I have been exercising regularly and eating reasonably well since then and I lost 13 pounds in the first 5 weeks or so. My scale has been stuck for two weeks now and I cannot figure it out. Coincidentally, I…

Inspiration!?
had a friend tell me yesterday I was their silent inspiration. She said she has watched how dedicated I have been in exercise and eating habits, that when she feels like giving up, she thinks of me. Wow, I needed that! Do you have a person who inspires you to keep going? Mine is my husband!:happy:

Motivation
So... yesterday didn't end well. Wayyyy over my calorie goal. Today I have a plan. Today will be better. I couldn't resist the 100-calorie bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. Not part of the plan. Now I will have to work 100 calories harder at the gym this evening to come out ahead. What I need is the motivation to GET to…

Am I hungry or bored?
I notice one of the biggest issues I fight with is that feeling between being hungry and being bored. I will have eaten a nice filling meal and shortly after I'll be watching TV and sitting on Facebook or even with nothing to do at work and I'll feel hungry. So then I start snacking. Maybe I'll start with a banana and then…

Well what the heck.
so I've been pretty annoyed with myself lately, because I've been stuck at the same weight since November! I got an elliptical, and have been trying to raise my endurance on it. However within the last 2 weeks I've somehow managed to gain 4 lbs. So as i said I was pretty mad with myself about it. That is, until just now.…
