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 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.…

(I'm a college…

Feel like Quitting?
Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have a sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you want, but don't you quit. Life is queer with it's twists and turns, As…

WEIGHT LOSS VS FAT LOSS
Weight loss is obviously how many pounds of body weight we lose, and it is the only thing a scale can tell us. It includes weight lost from fat reduction, muscle atrophy, decreased water and nutrient retention, and decreased contents of the digestive tract. This is not really what most of us want to focus on. Instead, we…
