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…

I'm driving myself crazy !
I'm doing pretty good on the food aspect of things , a few slips along the way but I'm trying hard , making better choices, getting in my fruits and veggies, and my water. Exercise..... I TRY to do the elliptical at least 20 minutes per day. I know it's not much , but that's all I can handle before I'm in tears. I weigh…

Thought it would be good to start a new one, as the other one is getting so long. Checking in... How are all the mommys?? My house is quiet (I have 5, a 20, 18, 16, 13, and 9) as the older ones are working and the younger ones are out playing!! Silence is GOLDEN.

No fast food day 2
Well I went to a summer league basketball game and made sure to eat before I left so I wouldn't eat out. My sister wanted fast food but I said no. Yay me! Kels

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…

Gym vs. chicken strips...
Okay.. so I am sitting here at my desk and it's about time to starting figuring out my lunch plans. Normally I go to the gym like a good girl.. but today, that just doesn't sound like fun! Bah!! I need strength! My gym partner is out today and the thought of laziness just sounds...... nice. :grumble: I need to fight the…

Challenge for ladies over 45
Hi - We all know that weight loss after 40 (o.k. o.k. - I am older than that, hehe) is not that easy anymore. I would like to start a challenge for us to share and encourage each other. Can we make it together thru the summer? If anyone is interested - I would be happy to start a daily or every second day thread. Thanks,…

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…

Teachers on summer vacation
Ok so this has been my first week of summer vacation. This is so hard. I went from doing great to wanting to eat all the time. When school was in I didn't have time to eat during the day. My schedule didn't allow it, and only having 20 minutes for lunch made a small meal seem so much more filling. Now that I'm home I want…

I need a boost!!!
I know I'm going to sound like a complainer but I'm at the point of giving up! My gym pass has expired until the 30th ( I use the college gym and you can only use the gym when your going to school that semester)! Now all I do is walk, ride my stationary bike and do workout videos, and at the end of all that my knee's are…

What is my problem?!?!
So I've posted a few topics about me falling of the wagon for 2 weeks, blaming it on my period, getting back on the wagon, etc. I need to stop making excuses!!! It was not my period, it is me losing my willpower!!! :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: Last night me and my roommate (who is also dieting) ordered pizza for dinner.…

Oh no you did not just say that!
So I went home Saturday because my brother came in town for a weekend. He is a freshman at Cal State Long Beach and graces us with his presence ever 2 years. Having him home is a true treat. So I trekked up to Northern Il, with groceries in the back. I decided I would make the fam-jam a meal. I had butternut squash and a…

No fast food for me
I decided to post when I don't allow myself to have fast food since that's the big problem for me. This will hold me accountable. So this is day one with no fast food. I'm trying to go at least 21 days without it. I hear that's the length of time it takes to break a habit. Go me! :happy: Kels

I don't get it
I have been trying so hard!! I have jogged atleast 12 miles weekly for the past 3 weeks. I have been eating much healthier than normal. I can't believe that I have actually gained 4 pounds-about a pound a week. I have been the exact same weight for almost 2 years and now I'm gaining!! My boyfriend says that I look great…

Renewed Motivation
I'm trying to renew my motivation. I moved back in with my parents during college, and I was convincing them to join a gym. Finally, to my relentless persisting, they joined. =) So now I'm going swimming at the pool. I'm hoping now, since I haven't been for the last 3 months, I'll start counting calories again, and start…

Need to make a real change
I was so bad this weekend. Mom's 50th birthday...surprise party, Chevys and alcohol...lots of alcohol :drinker: But it's not only that that's bothering me. I've been eating whatever I want with portion control and exercising so I haven't been gaining weight but I haven't been losing either. Eating the right portions worked…
