Help! never below this weight
Help! I've gotten to a weight that has plagued me for years. I've been at this point before but never stayed more than a few weeks. I'm at a nearly healthy weight for my body which is why I think it's harder to push past. What do I have to do to blow through this weight and get even a few pounds more. My goal is 12 pounds…

my first time to "eat my feelings"...
This weekend was just bad. I won't exactly go into what happened, but it was awful. It had to do with seeing an ex of mine, who used to be a great and I saw him after three years and he is now a cocaine/ex addict. I fear he's going to wind up dead. There is a gate keeper at my apartment who hits on me, I usually just brush…

First goal reached!
Coming in to this, I set myself a series of mini-goals... Last night I went to the gym, having already eaten all my calories for the day, and did an hour-long high-impact aerobics class. By the end, I wanted to hit the instructor with one of the dumbbells he made us use. I was SO tired and grouchy. But yesterday was one of…

Frustrated
I am approaching my four week "anniversary" as a member of MFP. The first two weeks were fabulous. But, the past week and a half has produced zero weight loss. I also picked up my exercise right at this time. I started out exercising 3 or 4 times a week for about a half hour each day. Then, I started getting really into…

Weighed in at the doctor's office
I went in for my yearly physical and weighed...169 lbs! The doctor's scale is pretty accurate, so I tend to believe that number a whole lot more than the one from my home scale. I haven't been this weight in about 3 years!!
