Going CAMPING!!!!
Alright, don't think I am totally weird, but I am freaking out a little about this. Mostly cause I remember all the previous camping trips with my family (It's my immediate family reunion...so all my bros, their wives, kids....you get the pic). I was ALWAYS intensely sick every time we went and I am horrified to have to…

I did it!
I got up early this morning and exercised!!! I've been in such a funk for the last month or so, and this morning I broke through. I'm soooo happy. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you finally break through I guess. If I wasn't there, I was pretty close. YAY for me, hope to keep it up!!!

Need motivation.
I have been doing this calorie counting and exercise (even increasing exercise time to 50 mins) 6 days a week for about 2 weeks now and been pretty strict for the most part, but somehow I am not happy about the results on the scales. I feel fit, energetic and possibly even looking better (from what hubby says), but I am…

I officially declare Friday, August 8, 2008 - detox day!
I've been reading a lot about getting your body to feel better and de-stressing and de-toxing sounds like a really good plan for a lot of us. It's good to de-tox at LEAST once a year and do some minimal detoxing stuff once a week. Here are some things to do to de-toxify your body on this day: Drink only water and green…

AHHHHHH
So I had a really bad day on Sunday, and felt like I had undone all of my hard work. But I really figured logically there was no way I could have gained more than a pound or two in just one day of eat. So THREE days later, after doing GREAT on my diet, I hop on the scale and it reads 3 pounds MORE!!! So, what the heck, I…

So much stress
I have been slipping up pretty bad. We are having money problems ( along with everyone else in the world) and I hate it:cry: I know this is no excuse to eat bad and just sit around and whine about it, but it's not good and I don't know how to fix it. I have been a SAHM for over10 yrs, and now I have to find a job, and it's…

Metallic Taste...
Help! Today I've had this metallic taste in my mouth all day...brushing, eating my meals, drinking water - nothing helps. It's not horrible, but just kind of annoying. :grumble: I heard some people experience this on Atkins, but I am not on a low carb diet (I love 'em carbs!) Bizzare (scratching head) Anyone experience…

Dear Scale
Why do you torture me? I feel like everytime we get close you hurt me by telling me I am fatter than I think I am. I work very hard to make you happy. I log my foods, I go to the gym now, and I stocked the kitchen with fruits and vegetables. Even with all that you work, you still feel the need to insult me every time I see…

Guys. I'm really struggling here. No matter what I do, it seems that I can't get this weight off. Its been over a month and I've lost MAYBE a pound and a half. No change in measurements. I don't know what to do. I'm eating right. I'm working out . I was doing yoga, but now that classes are over for the summer I have to…

just about ready to throw in the towel.
So I weighed in this morning - my normal day to weigh in (Tuesday), and I had gained another pound. I started at 160. I had gotten down to 153 and now I am back up to 155. This is over the course of two weeks. I know two pounds isn't a lot. But I'm really discouraged. I'm a little hungry most of the time and I've been…

On family - Words of Wisdom - August 5, 2008
Good morning. When you look at the word familiar it reminds me of the word family. Are you familiar with your family? Are you close to them? Or very busy? (Remember!) Be attentive to your family... There's a proverb that reads... "Listen to the whispers so you don't have to hear the screams" :heart: God is Love:heart:

Power of Music in Trying to Change lifestyles

Personelly I listen to music that…

A pool table fell over on my foot and shattered my big toe:cry: . I am on strict orders from my doctor to rest and not put any weight on my foot at risk of surgery. So any creative calorie burning ideas??

Ok guys. I have been doing really good on my "diet". I have lost 15 pounds and a total of 6 inches. Yesturday it feels like it undid it all in one fail swoop. I know it's impossible to gain back all that weight in one day, but wow, it sure feels like it! I have noticed that when I workout every day by the 3rd day I crash,…

Need a little pick-me-up
I'm generally just a reader of the blogs but decided that I need a little support. I've been on the site for about 3 weeks now and have already lost 9.5 lbs. I know, pretty great! BUT - my motivation is slipping. I was at a friends house over the weekend and even though I didn't eat too badly, and kept keeping track I just…

DANG IT!
I did so well when I was on here back in April and May. Then in June and July I totally left off the whole thing. We bought a house, moved, went on trips, had friends in town... lots of distractions. Now I've GOT to start again. But my motivation is gone. And the beach trip that inspired my signing up for MFP in the first…

Having a hard time with food
I mean, a REALLY hard time. I just can't seem to stop eating. Ever since I quick smoking I've really been battling it and maybe is because I used to be able to let myself have cheat days once a week and was still able to keep myself on track but now as soon as I have my cheat day, I'm all off track for the rest of the…

Needing motivation
I began using this website a little over a month ago (almost 6 weeks, I think...) I was doing well just watching what I ate and exercising (I lost 3 lbs. in like 4 days...) Then, my Grandfather got sick(er) and my sister and I went down south for about 5 weeks to be with family. While I was there, I completely ignored the…
