cheating = Stomach ache
I have been using this sight for 25 days now and wow what a great tool. I love it. I am down 11lbs and still on great track. I don't usually give myself a cheat meal. I know some people do once a week or once every other, but I wanted to hit the 10lbs loss before I did it. I wanted to feel like I earned. Well I hit my goal…

Looking for Support Group
Hi everyone, I've done a bit of searching and I'm a little lost. I am looking to join a support group on the boards here. I am trying to lose 10lbs (at least). I have yet to start my workouts (waiting for shoes & orthotics). If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great! T.

Motivation= dreaming about my chubby thighs!
So last night I had a dream about my chubby thighs...aaahhh! It was awful! It motivated me to NOT have chocolate for breakfast. I think the reason I had this dream is that last night on fb, I posted that I wanted to lose 10 pounds by my bday (April 16). Several people posted...from where?! You have no excess weight on your…

What a day!
I set a goal earlier this week to do 10 miles in a day. I wanted to do this within 2 weeks. I hit that goal today, only a week after setting the goal. I'm so proud of myself. I've never been happier with myself. I have a new found confidence. Just wanted to share this success with you all. :)

Not happy! :(
I've been at this for about a week, and I know not to expect things fast, but seriously I've gained two pounds :( !!! Having a rough day!

Thank you MFP!
Although I'm not even close to my goal number, I feel like I have reached something much better! I feel FANTASTIC mentally and physically. Eating healthy and working out on a daily basis has become part of my life, not " until I get there". If it weren't for MFP I don't think I could have found the motivation to keep it…

WHAT! A GAIN! UGH then Okay.
I weighed in this morning and was very upset to see a gain of 3 pounds. I know I didn't eat 3 lbs up this week, I even worked out an extra day. I want to contribute it to my monthlly friend but...it is hard when I am sticking to it. Ididn't even give in to a craving for greasy salty food or really sweet stuff. I am going…

Time for a new hairdo!
I've decided I'm going to chop my hair off! About 3 years ago I had a cute little pixie cut that I loved and I was in great shape then (back when I started teaching). I also dressed nice pretty much ever day. Here I am three years later and I've kinda let my hair go a bit (it just kinda does it's own thing/not really got a…

huge rant
I just have to complain and get it off my chest my motivations are mostly negative. When I am trying to motivate myself to exercise I don’t think about my health, happiness or being a good example for my children. I feel like I have to prove something:grumble: I think about my mother who is 44, 5 7 and 130lbs. She had 2…

Adjusting Mental Body Image
Okay, so I've been overweight most of my adult life, and after being a plus-sized person for almost 25 years, I'm having trouble adapting to my new smaller body. I'm so used to wearing loose fitting clothes, that anything remotely fitted makes me feel very uncomfortable, even though there's nothing wrong with the fit. I…

HAL 2 0 1 0 Team (new small group)
Helpful......Accountable..... Life-changing The focus of this group is to get 7 to 10 folks with some serious, life changing fitness goals for 2010. I consider this the next class of 20 to 50lb losers here on MFP, and there are plenty of inspirations wandering these halls. Personally I’ll be doing a hybrid of P90X,…

My anniversary present
My fourth wedding anniversary is coming up on April 20th. Of course, just like last year about this time, I was determined to lose weight before that date. I think I lost a few pounds, and have since put it back on plus. My husband also has gained weight in the four years, and only being about 5'5", it shows. I put in an…

I do 4 miles on the elliptical every morning plus a mix of strength training depending on the day- yesterday i was at a loss of 2 lbs but today i gained and…

I fell off the wagon and it ran me over...
In October I was at my lowest weight that I can remember since my early college years, 141. I couldn't break past the 140 plateau and got frustrated. Alot of things happened in November (most not good) and I pretty much threw in the towel--and here I sit now at 149 :( I start training in 2 weeks for my second half marathon…

Please help me encourage a family member!
I am looking for some suggestions on how to help my father get on the road to healthy eating. Usually I am pretty good at starting someone off but were talking about my stubborn meat and potatoes only father here. He does not like to cook for himself so he ends up at Dennys 3 times a day. He is prone to have strokes due to…

Having a rough day
I'm usually a very positive person with a ton of energy but not today. I'm very much down in the dumps. I hate days like today. I just want to go back to bed and hide from the world but that is very much not an option. I know I have to work out today but I just don't have the energy right now. HELP!!
