New..."assisting" challenge
Morning my fellow MFPers!! :flowerforyou: While getting ready this morning, I suddenly realized that Thanksgiving is coming up and it will be the first I've had as a married woman and I will most likely be going to the in-laws for dinner with all of the friends and family. Seems like nada, right?? Maybe to the average joe,…

Control Freak here...out of control
Well, the weather has changed to colder so now it's time to pull out those big baggy sweaters that I can hide under and my last year jeans. The only problem is, my last year jeans are tight. So today I'm having to do what I have been trying to avoid...go out and buy new ones (or run around in shorts all winter - not going…

Fell off the wagon...and back again.
Hi all. Again. I think I've finally figured out my difficulty. It's not that I binge or get cravings. I trip up whenever it gets so busy with work that I'm up through the night. Then I'm too tired to do anything for something like three or four days, by which time I've lost the motivation. I lost it this time for about…

I really hate weekends like this!
I went away with my hubby on Friday morning - for our 17th wedding anniversary, supposed to be coming back today, but we ended up coming home a day early. :cry: We went camping, hubby told me I was not allowed to take anything to cook on, as I always do the cooking, so we went to a chinese takeaway on Friday evening,…

I want to cry:(

BMI and weight loss
My BMI is 22 and I was always healthy. I put weight on during 3 pregnancies. Just 30 pounds every time, and I'd take most of it back off after. I'm down quite a bit now but my goal was to lose 20 more lbs as this is my last little one. Since I started doing shred 1 week ago I have lost 2" on my butt and 1" around my belly.…

Already broken my 1st weight loss goal!
Just thought I'd check my weright loss goal, by 25th September i'd hoped to be down to 231 lbs. Sadly, I'm still 5lbs away ! :sad: Maybe I'm expecting too much? I was going by the assumption that I'd lose a steady 2lbs a week - but I guess that was expecting too much :sad: M next target was for 31st October to be 224 lbs,…

Having a hard time...
So I'm having a really difficult time staying motivated. I'm trying so hard, and I know that I want it, but then at the end of the day when my husband leaves for something to do with his band (which has happened increasingly often), I almost ALWAYS binge on something. And it's very rarely something I really want. Why is…

I can't get over this guilty feeling....HELP!
So I started eating healthy on September 1st and have not broken until today. It was at my sister-in-laws baby shower and I pretty much ate what I wanted. We had finger sandwhichs, meatballs, two types of some sort of cheesy dip, nuts, punch and cake. And I ate it. Now I feel terriable! I don't even know how to log in it…

Having a hard time staying on track.
Like, seriously. I'm an eating machine. I think I've gone over every day and I'm not doing the exercise that I should be. :sad: I'm so bummed because I think that it's starting to catch up to me.

Doctor reduced my calories and now I'm ALWAYS hungry!!!
I've been steadily gaining weight the last two years, with no change to my diet. I lived overseas for a year with no vehicle and walked my butt off but had no loss of inches or weight. My doctor checked all my levels and my thyroid and everything is running correctly but I just keep gaining. Now she has asked me to cut…

I need to be yelled at!
I was doing awesome working out 6 days a week and eating really great. Healthy foods and good portions. I lost 10 pounds and then I hit a plateau and am slowly reverting to my old ways. I need to be smacked upside the head before I put it back on!

BWL Smurfettes and Papa Smurf 9/26
Happy Friday, Smurfettes! Sorry I haven't been around the past two days, I've been in meetings. I went a little bit overboard at lunch yesterday--ribs, bbq wings, and buffalo wings with tiramisu for dessert. Then, one of the guys in the office's wife made the most delectable chocolate chip bars and caramel bars. I had a…

Bad day
I just really need to vent right now & you all are the lucky recipients. First of all, I should say that i got about 3 hours of sleep last night which is contriubuting to my "near tears" state. Also, I had to drop off food at our church for a funeral lunch, which is always depressing whether you know the family or not. So…

What a difference a day can make
:sad: What a difference a day can make, I was so happy yesterday and today I am so sad. I was at work a few hours ago and just sitting typing on my computer when the damn chair broke, usually I would have just laughed with everyone but for some reasons I started balling, the office was full of people and it embarrased me…

Hi everybody! I started out doing pretty well, things are slow, but still going in the right direction. This morning, I had laser eye surgery :glasses: done which went really well. However, any exercise, strenuous activity, yard work, any dusty environments are all off limits fora at least a week, and up to 10 days. I am…

Terrified to gain!!
I just switched from teaching music to being a special education teacher. Like all new jobs I know there is an adjustment period, but I'm super TERRIFIED about gaining the weight I've lost. Its pretty stressful right now and they have me doing so many trainings that I'm having to put in some pretty long hours just to get…
