I need to be yelled at!

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…

sad but true and trying to figure it all out
So I have gained 10 lbs since joining MFP- after logging cal and exercise everyday for such a long time- I am still so baffled as to why it has worked for so many but not at all for me. I have decided to hire a nutritionist and trainer to help me get off the 10 I have gained and maybe figure out how it has happened. I will…

To eat or not to eat

loose fitting clothes!
Thank God! I finally got a job interview and I had less than an hour to get ready and go...well after my quick shower and fast hair and make-up routine, I dressed...and OMG! my shirt was loose! LOOSE! This shirt used to be snug and I would keep the last button unbuttoned when I sat down, otherwise the shirt would bubble up…

Such a freaking fatso!
:cry: :cry: :cry: I feel so ashamed. I haven't exercised nor tracked my calories in about 3 1/2 months and today I tried to exercise on the Automatic Stair Stepper Level 12 but it was so hot (wimpy much?) that I quit within 14mins. I tried so hard to push myself but I just couldn't. I'm not HUGE or anything but I can see…

I am so bad at this..
OK so I did good for 4 days, then totally didn't follow it for a week. I ate anything and everything again.. A few of you told me that I have a negative attitude about this and probably will fail with that attitude and I KNOW you are right, but I am not sure how to fix it... How do I have a positive attitude about losing…

Getting to healthy lifestyle?
Ok so now that I have reached my goal. How do i sustain my new found fitness. I know I do not want to eat as little as I have been and I know I want to work out less, but I also know that I will feel guilty if I do not. What should I do to ease off.

Plataeu's
How long do Plataeu's usually last? What is the longest someone can be on one? I have hit my first one and I have read that I need to make changes to get off it. I am making changes to my exercise and the types of food I eat (still staying within my calories) but the scale won't budge!!!!:explode: According to my tanita…

Good Morning, Smurfettes! I got into work early today, so I figured I'd start today's thread. I was very pleased with my weigh in number. Go Blue! I have meetings for the rest of the week with food. Today, lunch is tuna salad with a dinner roll. Usually there is not much lettuce and tons of tuna. I'll need to watch that.…
