REDS - SATURDAY 1-10
Good morning Reds! I didn't see a post for today so I figured I'd start it. Jennifun said in the goals for the week to do something different and report back. Even though I'm a native south Floridian, I have never done this before. I got up at 6:00 went to the beach and jogged/walked 45 minutes and watched the sun rise. I…

lady help!
Hi all. I joined MFP a few weeks ago and the first week and a half I was doing great! I was able to meet my 2lb weight loss goal in the first week! Part way through week 2, I came face to face with the bloat, tiredness and moodiness that comes along with the most dreaded monthly visitor. I never realize how much of a toll…

Do you have a favourite quote?
Do you have a favourite quote you tell yourself when things seem to get bad?
