T.H.E. Team April 24-30 - Week 12
~CHANGE ~ It's inevitable ~ For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin — real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these…

Weight loss due to recession
Ever since I have been watching my pockets I have slowed down on take out, fast food and restaurants. When I had the extra cash I would eat it all away. I would buy groceries and stock up and never cook it because I was lazy. Now I have no choice but to cook every meal. I love it and I hate it kind of miss the food, but I…

Something to think about...
I am currently watching Oprah, and the man that won the Guinness World Record for most weight loss (he lost over 1000lbs then gained it all back), made a great comment. He said he knew that weight loss surgery wasn't for him b/c his disease wasn't in his stomach, it was all in his head. Boy oh boy that made total sense to…

Family Photos
My mother-in-law insisted on family photos before my husband deployed and I just got them back. I despise having my picture taken with a passion and let me just say, these will make fabulous before pictures! Looking at them makes me want the "easy fix" but I know that it's not the way to go. Sometimes I just hate how long…

objectified at the gym (rant)
Dear members of MFP, I have never posted a rant/soap-box post, but today at the gym I got so frustrated and I thought this might be a good place to let off some steam.

Eating Calories from Exercise
Hi Everyone, I've been lurking here for a while, but haven't posted much yet. Anyway, I go to bootcamp twice a week now, and I'm finding it impossible to eat all of my calories from that workout. I'm burning around 600 calories, and if I try to make up for that, I get too stuffed. Tonight, for instance, I'm showing that I…

confused
I started my "lifestyle change" on April 11th. Since then I have lost 6 lbs. But I feel like I should've lost more? I have completely changed my eating habits and I now regularly exercise for at least 30 minutes to an hour everyday. I know the MFP site says I should only lose 1.0 a week recommended but I can't help but…

Why can't my family understand?
My mother is telling me that I am "scary" thin. "Looking way too thin and fragile." She says she's not the only one concerned. Here are my stats: I'm 5'2". My weight bounces around between 110-115, depending on the day. But it usually stays in the middle. I run. My carb/protein/fat ratio is 45/30/25. As a runner, I need…

PCOS, anyone else?
I was recently diagnosed with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). For those of you that don't know what this is or why it would cause a weight problem... the long and short of it is that it is both an endocrine and a reproductive disorder. It often causes insulin resistance and infertility. I could go on and on about all…
