How do you fight the cravings?
I find myself being tempted all the time. I've even caught myself going "Oh I can start over again the next day. The only problem is that day never comes!! I do so good for a week or so, then it comes out of nowhere. Anyone have any tricks?? I am soooooo frustrated.

How to get out of this mind set??
Ok I started trying to get healthy on September 1st. I weighed 273lbs and I began the Weight Watchers Points System. Well I didn't like it because I was ready to make changes for good, and I didn't want to do a "diet" that allowed me to still have the bad things (even though they are high in points). I didn't lose anything…

I'm so embarrassed . . .
Two days this week, I've eaten almost 3000 calories. No day this week has been really great. I haven't met my exercise goal yet and I feel like crap. To top it all off, this week isn't likely to get better because I'm fast approaching my period. :sad: I had a really awesome week last week. I've lost six pounds in a month.…

My worst day in three weeks...
...was today and I am officially blaming my co-workers. They've been dying to have a lunch outing for a month now and I finally caved. We walked a few blocks up the street to a cool little hot dog joint called Cats & Dawgs. If you're ever in Asheville NC I highly recommend it, but only if you've saved up about 1000…

Many times in life you have to be content with what's at hand until the blessing moves closer! (Remember!) KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AT ALL TIMES so the grapes you seek won't…

My small accomplishment
I keep telling myself I need to cut out alcohol, especially beer. I know that I feel and look better when I don't drink it, and that it's just poison. But then when I'm in a social function, I forget about all of that and say "I'll have one"... which turns into two, then three. Last night I was playing poker with friends,…

Weighing In At Night
So-Against my better judgement, I got on the scale a few minutes ago after what I thought was a very good day. I worked out, tracked every single thing that was put into my mouth, drank my water, and had 27 calories left over. But the scale shows I gained 2 pounds from this morning. Is that normal? How much does everyone…

Is something wrong???
Okay, So I have been on mfp for a few weeks. I have been writing down my calories. I exercise 1-2 hours a day and I am gaining weight. What the :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: I went to the doctors to have some blood work. This is really not normal for me. For the past 7 years I have stayed the same. Within in 6 weeks I…

So. I've been working out everyday... burning about 250-300 cal per day. I do different things--running, my elliptical, step aerobics, walking a long distance fast... AND I've been eating REALLY REALLY well. My recommended amount to maintain my weight is 2000... I've been eating 1200-1500 every day--balanced meals, low…

I'm ready to cry....
I am just ready to cry.... My back is SO sore!! :o ( And it's not my fault, it's not cos of all the running or the gym work that I've been doing, it's from all the crazy strength exercises we did in Taekwon-Do on Monday night. Ok, maybe the fact that I pushed myself so hard is partly my fault, but still I didn't choose to…

Well at least I'm not crazy...
I had my first physical therapy appointment today. In the past, people (doctors, coaches, family) devalued my aches and pains as "normal" even though I knew they weren't. Even sitting in the chair talking to this doctor I felt silly listing off nearly every joint from my waist on down as problematic - it just sounds…

I'm pushing
myself right out that door to go for a walk and enjoy the beautiful weather.

I am my own worst enemy
Does anyone else do this? When there is something I want, or I get sick of dieting, or too lazy to exercise, I come up with excuses for myself.. why it is ok to fall off the wagon. And usuallyonce I do, it could be weeks, or months, or this time.. a YEAR before I get back. I tell myself, oh well, I dont mind being fat, I…

Insanely frustrated...
I started using MFP August 12, 2008. So I've been on here a little over a month and as you can see by my ticker, I've only lost 4 lbs (and those were all in the first week and a half). Its a very rare occasion that I go over my calories and I'm usually not that far under. I workout for at least 30 mins 5 to 6 days a week.…
