Low blood sugar...
Let me start by saying that I have a doctor's appointment (although not until October 20something) and am just looking to see if anyone has any advice for me in the meantime.

Finally, cold weather.
I have always been the type of person to love winter and fall solely due to the fact that I can wear sweaters and pants and be comfortable. While I've mastered the art of sucking it in, I can be free for awhile during the cold weather. :laugh: This will be the last winter I will feel this way. Next year, I will be mad that…

So bummed!! Need to vent!!
I am so bummed out and can't find the motivation I need to get back on track. I'm bummed because I got laid off on Sept 16 and haven't been able to find a job. I know it's only been 2 weeks but it feels like an eternity. I haven't been without a job for over 20 years and it's driving me crazy. It's making me feel really…

ARRRGH
I am having a terrible day in every way :( I have that "binge" feeling and I just can't shake it. So I'm here, instead of devouring everything in the kitchen. How ridiculous is it that frustration and anxiety can cause us to hurt ourselves with food?? I had an awesome workout this morning, was all set for my day, and about…

I need ideas
My husband and I have the same goal of 60 lbs before our anniversary on April 4th. If I reach my goal, I get to go to the Lucy Desi museum/home in Jamestown, NY. If he reaches his goal, he gets to go on a hunting excursion. We are still trying to decide on an extra incentive for the person who reaches the goal first. Any…

Losing weight AND quitting smoking
I noticed that some people include on their tickers their number of smoke free days. I think that is awesome! Congratulations! Stopping smoking is the single greatest step you could take toward getting fit. The media is currently fixated on obesity as the number one health threat, and sure it is a huge problem. But think…

Totally Losing Motivation
The change in season's is really putting a damper on my motivation. I did really well from March - September. The past few weeks it's been getting darker earlier, which cuts out my nightly run and makes me want to sit on the couch, watch tv, and bake. I'm scared to start gaining again!

desperate for any help you can give me!
I did MFP last year around this time and lost 15 pounds. Then I gained it back plus 5, and since then, I've gained 15 more pounds. I have been depressed for about 9 months (and am now in therapy and on medication), and I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I think both of these things led to my weight gain. My weakness…

Therapy?
Okay so I have a question unrelated to weight loss. I've recently realized that I get really upset about stupid little things, like really upset about things that aren't a big deal at all. This isn't something new but it's something I've been trying to control lately with limited success. I also have some major insecurity…

So, I think I'm PMSing worse than I have for a while and not only am I not wanting to work out, I don't even want to get out of bed. What the hell can I do to get my mind back into working out?

For those of you with thyroid problems
I had my left thyroid removed last January and my family physician says my levels are "normal" on my medication but I feel really terrible all the time. I cannot lose weight even though I am doing the "right" things. I got tired of feeling bad and went back to my endocrinologist yesterday. She told me that just because…

I really need other parents opinions!
This is totally not about health or fitness, but the stress does interfere with all that for me! I really need some other parents to tell me what you think. Heres the story.

Poofy belly = (
I have been complaining (to myself) about the extra skin on my belly. I am 48 and lucked out with all 3 kids to have a flat, flawless skinned tummy after all three. But now after abusing my body for 15 years, I dont think the skin will snap back again. That is really ok.......I am healthier and much much MUCH…

30 Minutes to a Better Mood http://www.realage.com/blogs/doctor-oz-roizen/30-minutes-to-a-better-mood In the time it takes to fast-forward through two TiVo’d sitcoms that aren’t all that funny anyway, you can lift your mood.

I believe...
I recently attended a "Money Workshop" at my work. We were given those sharp pointy things that you cut paper with (I'm not even going to try and spell it, I can't) and magazines to "shop" through. Basically creating a wish list of the things that we want in life. I have kept mine on my desk at home because it has more…
