23 -- on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe-is-me!
My apologies in advance if this post is in the wrong thread, as I felt it was appropriate still focusing on physical education. I lacked a prominent father figure in my life since mine died before birth. I was raised by my grandparents and although they took care of me, they were never capable of taking me out to explore…

Fire Water
I know I have posted about drinking before, but that wasn't to quit. That was to slow down, keep it to one or two drinks a night..... I have come to the realization that I need to quit, both my husband and I do. We don't wake up everyday jonesing for a drink, but we do come home from work and grab a drink. And then…

Advice Anyone?!
I've done horrible this past week. I only exercised twice & I've been staying under my calories, but still not eating very healthy. I've gone swimming the past 3 days, but I'm not sure if I can consider that as exercising. I really want to start this week fresh, but I'm not sure how to pick myself back up. Does anybody…

FATHERS DAY SPLURGE ( but I'm a mom)
OK GUYS I started out the day really well. I took my daughter to the park, we played. I skated for a while. Then my hubby got home and I took him out to the Olive Garden. BAD IDEA!! I should have stayed home and cooked him a good meal. I have very little self control when it comes to eating out. Not only did I have the…

Pets
Aren't pets grand? My question to all of you is... How many of you have pets that help motivate you and keep you moving? I have 3 wonderful little Maltese babies, that have been responsible for me walking many many miles over the past 6 year (the age of my oldest). This is how crazy and in love we are with our babies. My…

small
Today my daughter hugged me and said "Mom you are getting small, I can wrap my arms all the way around your waist." That is all the motivation I need to keep on going. But later on she had to tell her dad that she is proud of me that I am getting smaller. Just shows me that my family is best support.:happy:

Overweight ilegal?
I just found this link on yahoo..Im sure some of you have seen it already. But Japan is measuring waistlines and imposing fines for those who are too big. Granted..it seems odd, but, looks like it may help with the diabetes and problems associated with obesity. Bet it would keep health costs down then too, in the long run.…

I've been eating my calories and riding the bike for an hour a day as well as strength training 2 - 3 days a week. I haven't lost any more weight or inches in over 6 weeks and…

Emotional Eating advice
Hello. This is my first post. I am getting married next summer and of course want to look good for that but I also just want to stop feeling and looking like crap. My problem is that I know I have a food addiction and that I am an emotional eater. Everytime I eat something that I know I shouldn't I know it is bad but I do…

swimming
Okay so I looove swimming, but I'm really scared of being in a bathing suit in public. I know I look a lot better than I used to, but I still have really low self confidence. Oh and I'm really white too and I don't know anything about tanning. Any suggestions/techniques for not feeling so self-conscious in a bathing suit?

Stupid Stupid Stupid
I just went over my alotted calories by 860 thanks to my extreme lunch. Instead of a salad or even just a little sandwhich, I decide that it is wise to eat a Tamale Platter. With two Sopapillas. What the heck was I thinking?!?!?!?!?!?!? :grumble: If I can't get my act together, this time is going to be like every other…

That was sooo nice of her and I broke down and ate 2 and then inputted my whole day and the calories for the day which blew me out of the water and I…

JULY GOAL CHALLENGE (June 2-9)
Hi everybody! I didn't see a post started so I thought I would get things going. How was everybody's week? I had a fantastic birthday weekend, and it doesn't seem to have set me back too far (though I still weigh more than I did 2 weeks ago). AND, I did walk and run in that 5K on Thursday. It was crazy - there were 11,000…
