I hate exercise!
I have been working out on the elliptical trainer, and boy, do I hate it. What I have found is that if I watch TV with commercials, I will start to watch the time I have left on the meter. If I watch something on demand cable (I've been watching the Tudors.) It holds my attention long enough so that 45 minutes is up in…

High School Weight vs. Current
I was thinking about how so many of us here want to weigh/look like we did in high school, myself included (admittedly this was not that long ago for me). But today I remembered that I had grown two inches since then, and wondered if my BMI was still roughly the same, and it was! High school stats (me at 16, or 5 years…

Then, we went to the…

I'm a binger
So I do really well on MFP until I don't. I will go a couple of weeks and stay solid with working out and eating through weekends and big events and everything. Then I slip and I go over my calories and then I'm dunzo for at least 2 days. And during those 2 days I binge eat so bad and despite how much it sets me back, I've…

my 9th grade P.E. teacher was right
this is way random, but i thought i would put it out there since it's been working for me: my 9th grade PE teacher--who's incidentally turned out to be quite the prophet since i was in 9th grade back in 1992--was really worried about "these kids today," which meant us. he worried that we all sat around "playing video games…

I feel like a failure! :(
I didn't eat much. I ate a poptart for breakfast, two enchiladas for lunch and half an enchilada along with a peice of HORRIBLY DELICOUS cake. I ate a little bit but all unhealthy. And then for exercise all I did was 20mins of lifting 15lbs, 1minute of the automatic stair stepper, and 4mins of walking at 2.5mph. I've lost…

death in the family.
My grandmother passed away this past Friday and the week before she was in the hospital after a massive stroke in a coma. I've been away for a week and a half in Kentucky with no internet and no way to exercise and no choice in a lot of what I ate - mostly fattening food and stuff - I'm so scared to weight in - I also eat…

the same five lbs
I keep losing and gaining these same 5 lbs over and over again. It's no mystery why, cause I'll have one good week then one bad week. When they are good, they are really good but when they are bad, they are really bad. I know I shouldn't pay attention to the scales or to my cravings since they are both my enemies, but I'm…

I just can't believe I'm really doing it this time..lol Also, I have skipped my usual…

But now I'm struggling again. I'm getting scared again. I don't want to go back to my completely phobia of food after doing SO well. Because when…

Get back on the boat old chap
Well, I moved in the very beginning of July, and along with the fourth and leftovers - I've been eating either a good bit over, or good bit under what I should be. I don't know which because I haven't tracked my calories or my weight. The new place lacks space so I just haven't really done any of my inhouse workouts.…
