Coping with stress?
Hey all - I just started a new job and the transition is probably going to entail some stress. In the past few months, I've been doing great with making self care a priority in the past few months, which has included better nutrition and exercise. I'm hoping I can stick with it - I'm trying not to predict failure or expect…

Discouraged before I even begin....
ok, so here's the "pity me" post. I've decided I want to loose weight by Halloween to look extra hot in my costume. I'm currently 260lbs and I've never been this heavy. I feel so unprepared to do this. I've been to the gym twice this week but I can already see it becoming incredibly boring. I've done the ellipitcal for 15…

Where do I find the motivation?
UGH! I am so frustrated!! When I joined MFP I was in a good place mentally. I was motivated, was running at least 5 times a week and watching, for the most part, what I was eating. My daughter, who is my running buddy, is not at home for a few weeks. I hate walking/running by myself, and simply stopped. I do have equipment…

I have talked to several people on here and they have told me what works for them, but for some reason nothing is working for me!!!

Not only is it just peanuts...but then ya just have to have the beer to finish it off. And I wonder why the scale did not…

Muscle loss and the affects of aging
Have you ever been to a hospital rehabilitation facility? They are used mostly by older people who have lived inactive sedentary lives and it finally caught up to them. Combine an inactive life with the passing of time (aging), the inevitable is certain to happen. There is a saying, "Exercise now before you have to" and…

One day at a time
Hi. I’m Sherri, and I’m overweight. There are many issues leading to the place I currently find myself; but the most important for me to realize is that I did this to myself.

Help - the weight loss is too slow!
What on earth is going on with me! :frown: I have been trying really really hard for 6 weeks now and there is little or no difference. Monday to Friday I do everything perfectly - diet and exercise. I eat my allowance less the calories earned by exercise. I walk about 30mins each day. In other words, Monday to Friday I…
