Need to stop losing.
When I joined MFP I had already lost about 15 pounds. I am 5 ft tall and weighed about 135-140 at the beginning. I was exercising and cutting down on my portion size and as a family we ate out A LOT!. Since I was frustrated that I lost a lot of inches but couldn't get the scale to budge so I started tracking calories...in…

YIKES! Time for a wake-up call...
I've been spiraling out of control lately, until now. Because as of this moment I am now back in control. I haven't been tempted by Halloween Candy all day...and sweets are tasting too sweet today...so I think my willpower is beginning to strengthen. This is definitely a force I need do build up to get through the upcoming…

Desperate cry for support
Have you ever been so sad & discouraged that you just wanted to give up? I am so heartbroken, gut wrenched & soul crushed by someone who means so much to me.

My Mother-in-law
My mother-in-law told me recently that I had a big *kitten*. I told her that it was preferable to HAVE a big *kitten* than to BE a big *kitten*. I see this woman three times a year when my husband drags me there, kicking and screaming, caveman style. My next visit is scheduled for Christmas week. (I don't spend Christmas…

Does anyone know what happened to me last night?
Getting ready to maybe do day 2 of 30 day shred. But I'm nervous, because I had a scary experience last night long after the workout.

How can I help him??
I love my husband dearly, and I'm really concerned about him. He's always been a bigger guy, when we met he was around 240 lbs. He has, however, over the years gained 40 lbs. He's now nearing 300 lbs, and I'm really concerned. I keep trying to talk to him about how concerned I am, but he feels that I'm attacking him.…
