IS it possible?
Can I possibly reset my metabolism after over a year of screwing it up? (Make that years.) I've been on again off again with South BEach for a year now. Losing several pounds, gaining several pounds. Despite the advice from all of you here, I believed that low carb was the only way I could lose weight. And now, here I am,…

Day 2 and I already went over
Went home for a family dinner, where my parents promptly dropped a bomb shell on me. Turns out my dad... the guy who survived 3 heart attacks, a triple heart bypass, cancer (having half his intestines removed in the fight), anemia, lyme disease, and vietnam... has alzheimers. Needless to say, I went over. I feel so damn…

The Biggest Loser Last Night
I don't normally watch the biggest loser but last night I caught the part where each member had to climb up a hill wearing a backpack loaded with the amount of weight they had lost...what an emotional thrill and a sad reality. Each one swore they would never go back. I think it is a good thing for us all to do, whether 5…

Need *ss kicking
I am gaining weight. Slowly but surely, it's creeping back up on me. Party due to eating a bit too much, partly due to not kicking my butt hard enough at the gym. Banks, where is that super-motivational post you wrote . . . the one where you pushed yourself just that much harder . . . Need to get off. My. Bum.

Time to give away the pants...
So I put on my pants this morning and I have to say I must give them away to the youth ranch or something because they just don't fit me anymore...... They keep falling off me when I walk. :) Total of 20 pounds dropped and now two pant sizes. Time to get me some new ones, not to many because I won't be wearing them to long…

Not sure what I am doing wrong
Hi Everyone, I have been using this board for about 2 weeks now. For the most part I never thought of myself as a bad eater and I am fairly active, but this site has helped me cut down on my calories and motivated me to boost the intensity of my work outs each week. However, I haven't really seen any change. I have gone to…

Motivational Thinking
I have seen, over my time here, lots of different ways to go about achieving a healthy lifestyle; I have also seen many people on here looking for support because they feel like their situation is hopeless or daunting. While I realize there is no way for anyone to "do it for you", I wanted to share with you some of the…

Emotional eating
So I had a rough Monday and...(get ready for it)...I ate!! I went over like 500 calories!:sad: Anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with that? I always regret it, but I can't seem to think about that when I start. It's obviously not in the forefront of my mind and I have to make watching what I eat a conscious…

back in my size 12's
I wrote last week about how my sweats kept falling down on me and decided to try a pair of my size 12's. Guess what - They fit, I am so excited.

Blew a whole month
Hey guys, I haven't been on here much in the last month or so. I haven't stuck to any challenges or anything. I don't know what happened. Well, I know some of what happened.
