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…

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 have a confession....

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…

what about these
Motivate yourself to keep going : 1. Focus constantly on what exercise can give you. This is a key principle for Weight Loss Motivation. If you don't really want the results you will get, you will never keep up your routine. Continually confirm to yourself your decision to get fit, slim and healthy. 2. Look at how you feel…

I am not sure if it's stress, that time of the month, or a combination! It's really driving me nuts cause even though I start out with good intentions I end…

So this week has been a down hill major.

I have gained back the five pounds I've lost making my attitude even worse. How is it that something so silly, like food,…

Q for recovered eating disorder peeps
Yesterday was the first time I stepped on the scale and wasn’t happy to see that I’ve lost weight. Why? Because I am back at the high end of my pre-recovery eating disorder (bulimia) weight and am still not happy with my body. In fact, I thought I’d actually gained weight cause I wasn’t feeling as good in my body lately. I…

back from california....
about 10lbs heavier. We had such a fabulous trip. I'd never been that far west, but it was lovely. I had the best 21st birthday in Sonoma touring vineyards- LOVE IT. Of course, we ate at so many fabulous restaurants, I had no way of sticking to a low fat meal- so I blew it....way blew it. My father's best friend is the…
