Anybody else an emotional eater?
I've been having a really hard time lately eating clean even for one day. :cry: I start each day with a perfectly clean and satisfying breakfast, which I really enjoy. Usually plain oatmeal with 1 TBS ground flaxseeds, 2 TBS sliced almonds, fresh fruit and either fat free yogurt or milk. Lunch is usually a salad with some…

BWL Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 10/7
Good Morning Team, I feel a little better today after my email fiasco yesterday. Yesterday was busy. I picked the kids up from school and then took them popcorn selling for over 2 hours and then had cubscouts and then went right to Zumba. I only did 30 minutes though.

He should have more info today when he comes home from his physical, etc. I want him to do whatever he wants to in life to make himself…

hungry, cranky and discouraged
I think the title says it all - hungry, cranky and discouraged. I don't mean to be a downer, but I'm hoping I'll feel better if I vent. This is at least the 2nd or 3rd time my ticker has gone in the wrong direction. It's my own fault. I guess I don't want to lose weight enough or be healthy enough to starve or spend every…

Lap Band
:smile: Ok here it goes. 3 years ago I had lap band. I lost 100lbs. Over the past 6 months I gained 30lbs back. I recently had some issues and had saline taken out of my band. This gave me no restriction. For 3 years I was unable to eat bread, pizza, hamburgers and stuff like that. Well now I can eat anything. This gave me…

day 2 of beng accountable
So I fell off the wagon back in July and gained 10lbs since then. 10lbs that I can't afford to gain since all my clothes are for my 10lbs lighter body and if I gain anymore I will need to buy a size bigger. So yesterday was a fresh start for me I vowed to drink 64 oz of water eat within my calorie limits and track…

Alot of you may know my bigtime goal is to fit back into my prepregnancy…

Craving chocolate
Yaa.. the lighter version. I have 15 days in hand, before the engagement party. My scale has just begun to move. I would be well under my calories, if I grab one small chunk. It feels good to get my rings loose and be comfy in what was tight fitting jeans. I don't wanna get it with all my heart, but am not able to…

Frustrated....

Goals
**I know I am on more then normal....but struggling here. Is it better to have "mini-goals" rather then going for a "BIG goal"? Would I be better off setting my MFP for a small goal, to keep it manageable and less overwhelming? Is seeing the amount loss as a whole, more motivation? Do you change your goals or do you just…

Hey everyone.....anyone?? Well I hope everyone is out there doing something to get healthier. I find that working toward mini goals is how I get my best results and it helps me stay focused.

Why I Study Scripture -- Words of Wisdom -- October 6, 2008
Good morning. I've seen my share of disappointment. The loss of my DJ Jamaster Jay.... Right after that, the loss of my Father.... and then shortly after, the loss of my new born daughter Victoria.... Just to name a few...... BUT the reason I love the Holy scriptures is because it forces you to shift your focus from YOUR…

I'm back!!!!
Hey there all fellow MFP family! I took a break from calorie counting and regular exercising for about six weeks. Partly because I got pneumonia and couldn't run and then I felt like I needed a break from the strict regimen since I had been at this since January. The good news.....I have basically maintained where I left…
