The Late Night Snacking Thing...
Okay, so I can go almost all day without eating. Especially if I get busy. (I'm not saying this is good, I'm just saying that I can). I know I like to snack at home at night, so I try to save my calories for when I get home. So for breakfast I have some yogurt and am recently adding an apple. Lunch I sometimes skip, or I…

Binge eating, another form of self harm?
I am one of those people who have self harmed in the past and still struggle. It has increased lately since I told my bf that I was raped about four months ago, he didn't take it well and so decided that we go on a break. Why I dunno, I assume it's a guy thing or maybe he's just a selfish coward. I have binged for the past…

5 for 7 challenge
Okay, so I see a ton of challenges on here and I decided to make my own. I had a really bad week last week and tomorrow (Monday the 21st) will mark the start of my fourth week on my "I SWEAR I'M GONNA DO IT THIS TIME" plan, which means that Monday March 28 is the day I told myself I'd be taking progress pictures AND is my…

A&E's "Heavy"
Anyone else watch this show? I love it. At first, I really didn't want to watch it, but I find it so much more motivating than something like "The Biggest Loser" because it's not a game. I always feel so inspired while watching it and think, if these people can do this, so can I! I think it had a big hand in me finally…

I am Fat...

Birth Control Woes...
I've read all the recent studies that say that birth control has such low levels of hormone that they don't actually make you gain weight. While I understand that, since I have been back on the pill for the last two months I feel hungry constantly and because of this have had an extremely hard time keeping to my goals.…

I am so disapointed with myself.
Today I couldn't face going to the gym so I decided to walk to Smithy Bridge (a small town near my home). I took the Rochdale canal and had a nice walk lasting just over an hour. Unfortunately the train from Smithy Bridge to Rochdale was delayed so I decided to walk back (even more calories burnt right?). WRONG! On my way…

OTR Truck Trivers
I know I've seen a post or two from long haul truckers here. My SO just joined and drives a truck. Was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for healthier eating on the road for him that I can pass along. Maybe healthy snacks and stuff he can keep in the truck. He has a small fridge and will be getting a cooler. Some…

Hi! I have been on MFP since January, and have been having some issues with staying under my calorie goal. My goal is to lose 30-40 lbs.

Weight GAIN
The scale shows I've gain 1.5 pounds-in four days!!! How discouraging!! What do you do to keep motivated when your gaining weight? I know that weights will add poundage but it makes me want to give up.

Any one else feel this way?
About 7 years ago, I was about the same weight I am now. I did WW and in 6 mos lost 55 lbs. Yay, right? Everybody in my family was ecstatic. My parents and my brothers all told me over and over that they were proud of me. Here's the problem, the more they said that the more I started to feel like my weight and my…

Not achieving your goal but still being successful

In the first 3 weeks of being on MFP I lost 2.5kg, at the start I was logging every little move I made, in order to gain more to eat, so I was logging cleaning etc LOL. I've stopped that in the last week and am only logging proper exercise, I've jumped back into C25K at and I'm on W4 (I took a few weeks off due to…

MOTIVATION RESTORED!!
I was desperately searching for motivation this morning. I have successfully lost 10 pounds. And another 2 or 3 pounds can't make up their mind as they have been on again, off again... I try to log in everyday if for nothing more than to read inspiring words from other bloggers. Something is still missing for me tho. Then…
