Weekend Advice
Hey everyone!!! I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem but I am doing really well Mondays through Thursdays then I completely blow it Friday through Saturday (sometimes Sunday too!) One of my problems is that I have a boyfriend who has the metabolism of a 13 year old cheerleader and he eats (and drinks)…

motivation....
Don’t Quit! When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every…

Period buddies, anyone?
:noway: I gained 1.2 lbs over the weekend. AND I did well and didn't cheat. I'm sure part of it is the sodium I had last night (ee) from my chicken sandwich (actually the first sandwhich from lunch wasn't bad at all - it was the second since they got my order wrong -doh!! and I'm going to start The Cycle soon...but that's…

They FIT!!!!
Somehow I lost 3 lbs in less than 2 weeks all of a sudden. (after very slow progress this far.. had only lost about 5 lbs in 2 months). So.. maybe the weight won't stay off... but.... I got brave and stood on my tip-toes and grabbed the pile of skinny jeans off the top shelf in the closet. the Joe's jeans I bought at…

DIVE!!!
Okay, so last night, I didn't just fall off the wagon. I jumped, leaped, took a huge nose dive - and on purpose. Not my wisest move. I knew it was close to my TOM and I knew that I was headed for disaster. Ever feel like everything is just wrong even though nothing has changed from the day before or the next day. My kids…

My Return
Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a little note and let you all know I am back. My life has been very crazy. My ex has tried to take my daughter away from me, my daughter then broke her right arm by her elbow. Homework has been kicking my butt all over the place, my job has changed from 10-6 to 7-4. And I am in the…

Back Where I started!!!
OK, I just really need to vent. I started MFP back in Jan. and I have to say I have cheated a bit but managed to loose 6lbs. I feel like my body was getting tighter. I am very diligent with my work outs. I work out 6-7 days a week. But, lately I have just been binging on food. This weekend was a disaster. I can see such a…

Say something supportive/nice about the person above you.
And say something nice about yourself. :P We all need a pick me up and this is a win-win. SO: I'm proud of myself because I didn't eat the two pies that were in the fridge this weekend that I made for "test runs" and instead gave some to Judah and only had a few bites.

Is it true that sometimes you gain weight before you lose it
I've been told before that sometimes you'll gain weight before you lose any, especially if you're doing a lot of cardio. I used to be really strong and had a ton of muscle, but after having two kids my activity level plumetted (Not that kids don't keep you busy and on your feet..I mean, I'm not walking to school or playing…

Surviving Summer weight loss challenge WOW
WOW! Our group lost a total of 57.7 pounds this week! That is three times the amount my baby niece weighs! What an amazing week. I have to admit, I was not as strong as I wanted to be yesterday. Quite frankly, I ate my face off like there was no tomorrow. Not to mention the Corona's...I knew I was doing it, but felt…

Guess what I can do. . .
I can tie my shoes in the middle now, instead of putting my foot on my knee and tieing them on the side. I can cross my legs now, can't put my right foot behind my left calf yet, but it'll come. Funny I didn't realize what pound I gained that made me unable to do these things. I feel a little better everyday. I've walked…

Secrets of a Former Fat Girl
Go. Buy it. The woman knows what she's talking about. It's like she went back in time to my childhood, watched me grow up, then wrote a book about it. It's incredibly motivating and funny. I know it's kind of weird, but I read this whole book yesterday and today I have an entirely new outlook on losing weight and being…

I have a confession....
So I think I just need to vent.... I told myself that I am being healthy, but I am not. I have become obsessive with my weight loss. I have lost 75 lbs and it feels fantastic, but now I am greedy. I have been working out in excess of 2 hours a day and not eating nearly enough calories (usually under 1000.) My hair is…

Wow!
Okay, the last 18 months(before MFP), shopping was a nightmare. I was wearing a size 14 but should really have been wearing 16's. I remember shopping for a dress in a particular store for a wedding and leaving in tears because I could not find anything that would fit me. It was a really horrible experience and I really…
