Looking for inspiration?
Read this young man's story. The way he wrote it, and how he did it is just so inspirational. Cool Running posted this on Facebook so hopefully you'll be able to follow the link, but I really like the way this guy lays it all out for you, how he did it and what it took. So I thought I'd share.…

Take a pause for the cause!
Do you ever wonder why most of us are always racing against the clock trying to get to that appointment on time or rushing to get through the stoplight? Not only are we in a hurry to get to that “important meeting” but it seems like we are rushing our whole lives, trying to thrust ourselves into a never ending fast-forward…

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!
Remember this shared message on a daily basis: Law of the Garbage Truck One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just…

weekends kill me
I absolutely undo all my hard work on the weekends. It's time to socialize, eat something new...how can I not let weekends ruin my progress? (without sticking to a "normal" day as that would be too depressing and not sustainable)

I'm recommiting myself! You with me?
I've decided to recommit myself to diet and exercise as a part of my daily life. I went from 195 to 168 by exercising and doing Weight Watchers. I kind of got comfortable in those size 12's and got slack. I now weigh 175 - still in my 12's but they are getting a little snug! I am recommitting myself today to get down to my…

Observation that I have a hard time controlling

However, if I eat bad Monday or if I miss my workout Monday then the rest of week goes down hill... Why do you think this is??? Or…

I feel like Hedonism Bot
To be frank , it could've been much worse than it was, but I derailed a bit last night. I was in a foul - FOUL mood and as a result promptly covered my feelings in in cheese and consumed them. I've been doing well and I know it isn't the end of the world, but looking at the scale this morning - even though the change was a…

I know this doesn't really fit this website or thread, but I need some advice & don't know where else to go. I am almost positive my husband is and has been suffering from depression for a couple of years. For a long time I didn't know what was wrong with him, he was just "different" than normal.

OUT OF SITE - OUT OF MIND
Things I do to help stay focused… At Home • I make dinner for the evening and extras for lunch the next day. • I clean the kitchen so there are no residual dishes out to remind me of food. • I keep all food/drinks/condiments in the cabinets so the reminder of food is not present. • I keep my son’s snacks in an opaque…

21 days, and it's a habit!
Hello fellow MFPers, I'm on day 22 of my lifestyle change and using MFP. I woke up at 6AM, and instead of staying in the bed sleeping in the first thing I thought about was getting my workout on. I think I'm finally hooked on this workout thing, and it feels exhilarating! Anyone else having that feeling? :bigsmile:

I binged yesterday.
:angry: I'm so mad at myself. We hosted a weekend house party for a friend who was visiting the UK from New Zealand. I cooked so I knew the food was healthy, and I managed to avoid the beer! But yesterday, once everyone had left & I was tiding up I found the half eaten bags of crisps (potato chips) and the opened packets…

Hello! So before the summer rolled around I had lost about a stone, I was so much more toned, I was healthier and a little happier! But life happened and I stopped journalling my food as I became totally obsessed with losing weight. I overdid it at the gym big time and wore myself out. So I had a 'break'. I have had to…

Don't get discouraged
Don't get discouraged when you not encouraged... Others may not see you, but as long as you see yourself and encourage yourself you can stay focused on YOUR road.

What Will You Do With Your Fat Clothes?
I think I'll give them to good will. Not sure if I'll keep at least one thing to remind me where I was, or if taking a picture will make the memory last longer. haha :laugh: My sister, when she lost her weight, gave me her fat pants. Tables turned a bit on me. lol Let's hear it.
