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…

100 lb challenge JUNE 18th
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. My goal this month was to break the 220's, and I did that yesterday, so I figure my next goal should be to get into the mid teens…

More Support
On my profile you can see that a couple years ago I lost a lot of weight. Well I have slowly let some of it creep back on :( I found these pics ( just added to my profile) the other day of myself before and it is the best motivation. I do not ever want to go back there again. Hope this helps to motivate others!

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…

a low blow...
Its funny - a couple of weeks ago jamerz wrote a message board how people at the gym are noticing a change. I got the exact opposite yesterday and it still stings. I've been on this site for about 3 weeks and the first week I lost 6 pounds but since then pounds have been creeping up. Yesterday was my official weigh in and…

weekends
For me it always seems like I can stick to my planned out meals during the weekdays but weekends I feel the urge to just do what I want. I try to plan foods for the weekend, but I just eat something else and then I just feel like I ruined the day and then do whatever. Then during the weekdays im fine. What does everyone do…

CHANGE THROUGH LOVE, NOT HATE
Hi all- I notice a continuing trend in a lot of people who struggle to lose weight where what triggers us to lose weight in the first place is something negative like hating how we look or how we feel. We use terms like loathing and frustration and disgust and a million other words that fill our thoughts. These thoughts, I…

A new goal to spice things up a bit!
For the last couple weeks my workouts have been, eh, stagnating a bit. I've been tired and stressed and losing sight of my specific goals, and really losing my excitement about reaching them. Plus my bf and I haven't really been able to spend much quality time together, and we've been grumping lately. Anyway, I was at work…

Weight down then up
Feeling a bit disheartened today. Weighed in yesterday and had lost 3lb over the week, brilliant stuff...........this morning, I don't know why, but I decided to weigh again, just to check (and see the 3lb loss again) but to my horror, I was back to the original weight of the week before, I had lost nothing. Why does this…

I need some honesty...
So, against my better judgement, and after NUMEROUS people told me yesterday NOT to do it, I got on the scale this morning. Can someone please tell me how after walking 4 miles, an hour long Body Pump class, and 30 minutes on the elliptical I gained another pound? I've gained 3 pounds since Monday, and I've been working…
