I just can't get started.
I'm trying so hard to drop this weight, but the one thing I need to do, I can't get motivated about. Exercise. When I got out of the Army in 1993 I weighed in at a whopping 143 lbs. Now 15 years and 3 kids later I weighed in at 231lbs. I used to run just for the sake of running. I used to have the flat stomach. Now, I…

added unexpected bonus
I've never been the kind of person who loses weight when I'm sick & not eating. In fact I often eat more when I'm sick. :huh: Some people can lose 4 pounds after a week of flu - but not me. Never ever. :grumble: So I had some oral surgery done this week & was unable to eat. I just didn't feel like it. That never happens to…

Fasting from a Biblical standpoint
Okay, so I know that not everyone on this site will understand this, but I am considering doing a fast for spiritual purposes, but obviously it's going to affect me physically. The last time I did one, I went 6 days, allowed myself plenty of water and herbal, non-caffeinated tea, and ended up losing like 8-10lbs. I have…

Its not the fact that I've lost mass there as I have in so many…

Share Food Diary
Does anyone want to share their food Diary with me? What I mean is, to have a person that I can send mine to at the end of the day and vice versa? I know it may sound silly but I think that it would help me be more accountable for what I do. Writing everything down certainly helps, but I think the 'newness' of that has…

Motivation and support. Do you Twitter?
Just wondering if anyone uses Twitter. I can see how this could be useful for motivation and support. Just imagine sending a Tweet saying "I am tempted to get that piece of chocolate cake for desert" and then getting several tweets from friends telling you DON'T DO IT!!! Or, tweeting "I know I need to hit the gym but I am…

There is an app on Facebook that allows you to upload a full length pic of yourself and they will alter it to show you what you might look like at up to 50 pounds lighter.
