Like an idiot....
I deleted my friends. :noway: I didn't realize that I couldn't make comments on their profiles with out them as friends. I figured if I was going to send them a private email I would just click on their profile and go that route. Now I want all my friends back! :sad: I had quite a few and I know I'm going to miss someone…

Words of Wisdom - 6.6.08 - Give it all you got!
Good morning. You MUST prepare if you want to win in life! Paul Bryant College footballs winningest coach said it's not the will to win that matters- everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters! YOU MUST give your all! Some one once said to Violinist Issiac Stern... I'd give my life to play like you!…

Shouldn't have weighed myself...
But I did. End of period and I weighed myself a day early. (usually do it on fri or sat) eeeeee! I'm back up to 112. :p I'm sure its water (?) My carb intake wasn't THAT bad. I have been drinking water...sodium down, too. And yes fiber up. AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I can't cut calories...sigh. Going to walk loops around the mall…

Wods of Wisdom - 6.4.08 - Learning new things
Good morning. What new information have you gathered this year? New information can sometimes be the difference between succeeding and failing! Having a brain is great.... But you only get better when you download new info into it!! (Remember!) The person who won't read is no better off than the person who can't read.…

Can anyone help me with a metabolism question? In September I quit smoking, I was prepared to gain some weight, which I did. 13 pounds. In December , after maintaining that weight for about a month, I joined this web site. Well it has been five months now, and I have only lost 1 pound. I am watching my intake of food,…

What do you do when you're sick?
I am starting to feel really depressed. I started having a little annoying cough on Thursday evening, it was just occasional, with a mild sore throat, no big deal. I was still able to work out on thursday and again on Saturday. Sunday, I felt a bit worse, but decided to run anyway.. just not go quite as far. I felt fine…

Scared of my scale

I need a kick in the pants
The last week has been hectic and I haven't been exercising the way I normally do. I have been logging my calories, but the cardio went straight out the window last week. I weighed myself, and I haven't gained or lost...I've just stalled. I need someone to kick me and get me going again...I think part of why I was so…

Throwing your weight around and being a bully.
- Being a bully isn't the right thing, the healthy thing, the Christian thing, or even the adult thing to do. - Just because you're bigger, doesn't mean you know more. You hid behind your weight when you were fat, but you can't do it now. - Same if you're smaller. - Same if you have senority. - People here (usually) aren't…

Hey all!! A bone to pick..so to speak! :)
Ok, I am just putting it out there. I have noticed there seems to be a lot of negative energy around here with certain threads. I am not sure exactly WHY it seems to turn out that way, but the point is it is seriously starting to affect the supportive, encouraging vibe that MFP is so famous for. I would just like to ask…

Do you lose one lb, two lbs, or...
I've been doing two lbs per week, but today, I'm REALLY hungry (that time of the month). I'm thinking of switching to 1 lb per week this week, and then switching back next week. Has anyone else done that before, or should I just stay constant at 2 lbs?

Any college students out there?
I'm just wondering...since college life doesn't always lead to healthy eating. I hope that there are others out there like me that find that pulling all nighters make it difficult to stay on track.:bigsmile:

Dieting and depression?
After my first week with MFP I've noticed that I'm feeling worse than ever and wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar? I've mentioned before that I began working out almost a year ago and with excercise alone managed to drop 4 dress sizes. I remember it taking a few months to teach my body to want the…

Ugh, Ugh, Ugh
Got some bad news yesterday--career/life goal related. Completely ruined the rest of my day. Did what any healthy person would do--drank a lot of tequila. Ok, I'm a lightweight, it didn't take much. :tongue: But I have no motivation to go about my day. Really wanted to call out sick to work, and I would have if I didn't…

Nothing lost in 2 weeks!
Hey all.... Well after a very trying 2 weeks, of course, I have nothing to show. Nothing gained, nothing lost, just my scale being stubborn with those 3 nasty red digital numbers. I found myself being heartbroken this morning when the scale told me my weight this moring....the same for 2 weeks. Then, I thought to myself, I…
