Insomnia
Does anyone here suffer from insomnia? Any suggestions as to how you manage it? Mine has been getting increasingly worse over the past six months, to the point where I am only getting a few hours sleep at night during the week. It seems that no matter now tired I am, I can never fall asleep before 2 am. By Friday I am so…

Wow-This Works!
Well, I have to admit, I have never been a fan of counting calories, but mostly because back in the day, you had to write on a piece of paper everything you ate, then try to look up its calories, etc. etc. and it was just too much of a pain in the rear to deal with. This site, MyFitnessPal.com, really makes it so easy for…

Celeb Bodies You Admire
I just recently read a post in the general discussions about how so many people look at unhealthy celebrity bodies as the ideal body shape and standard. We're all too aware of the anorexic, drug abusers splashed across the gossip pages, but I wanted to see which celebrities most people admire physically. I just wanted to…

I thought I was doing everything right!
I am starting to get very frustrated. I started using this site and going to the gym a few times a week back in October/November. Things were going pretty well, even with the holidays I managed to lose about 10 pounds by the first of year. Resolution time, and I decided to really make a commitment. I've been working out 5…

Does ANYONE loose weight?
I'm starting to feel like loosing weight is impossible. I had a baby 10 months ago, and went from a size 6 to a size 12... I can't seem to budge my weight at all... It is so discouraging. What do people do to loose 20 or 30 lbs? I can't focus my whole life on just loosing weight! I have a life to keep up with! Thankfully…

Blew it today
I ate candy today. Not just a little bit but 400 calories worth:grumble: This still leaves me under my daily goal for calories but I couldn't believe I ate that much. I haven't even been on this diet for a week and I haven't even reached my weekend; which is Sunday and Mondays. I know it doesn't help that I started my…

Morning everyone! Ok, so here's the deal. A couple of years ago, I went from almost 300 lbs to 170, then I went to 185/187 a year ago, and I have been in that range for the year. The original weight loss wa due to gastric bypass, and spending 90+ minutes in the gym 6 days a week. For the last year, I have not spent as much…

A great way to motivate yourself!
If you can afford it, invest in a sleek new pair of sneaks. I'm cheap, so I'd been using a crappy old pair (probably bought them about five or six years ago) and they were killing my feet. Now that cardio workouts are a daily part of my life, I picked up a sweet pair of Nike Air Maxes <sic?> They are incredibly light and…

FRUSTRATION!
So, I'm back at college. School started again, and WHAM, 17 assignments in only 3 classes! I've been so busy, and so stressed that I ate all my problem foods, let my parents convince me into going to a buffet. Now I think I've gained. I feel so horrible. I'm so disappointed that I don't even enter in my calories anymore. I…

My weekend binge
In case anyone is feeling bad about what they ate this weekend, here's my Saturday night: I managed to do my usual eating plan until the pm, meaning I had about 500-600 cals left. I didn't exercise, but did about 2 hours of walking that day. Then I headed to a friend's going away party, which was quite depressing. I…

Help! I'm addicted to the scale!
Ok, I admit it! Possibly even worse than my food addiction is my scale addiction! I weigh myself almost every day. And even though I try to tell myself that the number on the scale doesn't matter, that the fact that I'm eating healthy and working out is what matters, it still does. If I don't lose anything I'm stil…

Metabolic rate vs. reduction in calories!
Is it possible that an individual with a naturally fast metabolic rate could actually gain weight if they reduce their calorie intake when they implement an exercise plan? Sounds pretty far fetched, I know, but 'inquiring minds want to know'.
