Daily Check In Thread (The Beginning) 5/26/09
I'm always looking for a board or thread to join, but I decided to start my own. We all obviously have bad habits that need changed and good habits that need to be developed sometimes doing it on our own can be overwhelming. So why not support each other and take one day at a time. Here's how it will work. Each day we will…

bad week so far
Ugh, I thought this week would be easy because I am on vacation (just from work, not going anywhere) and I would have ALL the time in the world to work out. Wrong....I never did get to work out yesterday between running errands and going to family BBQ's, and even though I did work out both days over the weekend, I know I…

Black Team week 2
We are going to go back to basics and weigh everything and LOG it. I know some of us have been going at this for quite sometime and some of us not but we need to remember that our eyes are bigger then we think and that serving size might not really be what it's supposed too. GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK!!!

The Narrow Path?-- Words of Wisdom -- May 26, 2009
Good morning. The scripture says.. “Narrow is the path that we must walk.” (What does this mean?) You'll always have to squeeze through a narrow path in life in order to get through to a happy place. Sometimes its budgeting when everyone else is splurging. Going to the gym when they're going to the movies. Going to church…

I'm slipping
I am losing my motivation. I have not done a hard workout since last wednesday. I am still trying to watch what I eat but the motivation to workout is not there. Anyone have some tips or advise to kick my own backside back into working out. I am afraid I will never break this stupid plateau I have tried changing my workout…

I need help breaking this plateau!
I am getting really frustrated and feeling kind of hopeless here. I started my diet on Jan. 5th @ 165lbs. and was down to about 151 by end of March/first of April. I have since (finally!) broke the 15 lbs. mark but it's been almost 2 months and I'm only down (on a low day) 4 lbs!! In 3 months I lost almost 15 lbs and in…

Why are weekends so tough?!
I usually do pretty well during the week, but come the Saturday and Sunday, everything goes right out the window! It's like I can't control myself, or, even worse, don't want to control myself! I really get tired of all week counting calories and weighing and portioning and cooking and making and keeping such a conscious…

I need some help
ugh... I am fairly new to this site. The first couple weeks I wrote everything I ate, now I am starting to slack. I need some help I think...to stay dedicated and focused. When I first joined I weighed 165 pounds and I wanted to lose about 20. In the last two weeks, I have suddenly gained ten pounds and I have no idea why.…

Ever have days you just want to chuck it all?
Ok, so for the past two weeks I havn't been doing as well. Instead of sticking to 1200 I have been eating more like 1500-1700 calories (not including eaten exercise calories). I have still been exercising but today I got on the scales and gained 3 pounds.:grumble: The frustrating part is the thought of how few calories are…

My body is rebelling
We had a potluck at work yesterday and I ate like I did before I started MFP. This morning at 2am I was in terrible pain. It was quite unpleasant, but it makes me feel better knowing that my body doesn't want me to eat like that. I just wish my brain would catch up with my stomach. My biggest problem is that my stomach…

Not the changes I want
Now I know Rome wasn't built in a day...so no sarcasm please. I made a post over in sucess stories today about an unofficial weigh-in (Tomorrow is my official weigh in day). It said 199....so I'm out of the two hundreds. I was really happy, until my husband took my picture (just after a workout...so be kind). Plus I was…

Memorial Day Picnic!
A friend invited me to a picnic today. OMG! There was burgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad, cole slaw, beer and all the yummy things I enjoy. I completely refrained!!! I ate before I went and had a diet soda while I was there. I am sooooo PROUD of myself!! At one point, I wanted to eat just cause everyone else was - but I…

back on track
I've been on a plateau for a couple of weeks - bidding my time waiting for things to move again. Yesterday I got on the scale and it had gone up one pound! I was sooo discouraged because I've been trying so hard. Then we had to go to visit my mom - who always has to "feed me". Normally I can resist but I was so discouraged…

Could you reccomend...
a challenge, team, group to be a part of? Every week I tell myself I'm going to join one to help with motivation, support and accountability. But then I start looking at all of them and can't figure out which one to join. And on some of the challenges it seems like I always come in after it's started. Which one do you…

Do NOT give up!
I started here last year after 2 years of feeling sorry for myself. When the doctor advised me I would be on cholesterol medicine for the rest of my life for a level over 300, and gave me the list of side effects of the meds including liver damage (my mom died of liver disease at 54) I decided to get off my *kitten* and do…

Life starts now
While in high school I always thought to myself "Oh life will get better in college" (i.e.. meeting new people, getting healthier, getting better grades, etc etc) Well now that I'm in college I realize that life will always be like high school. There will always be those people who don't like you and try to make your life…
