My countdown to healthier
So I started Nov 1 with the goal of making better health choices in order to be healthier and comfortable in my body. This is actually my second time with MFP. I lost 80 lbs the first time several years ago but since then I've had 4 kids and put back on most of that. I'd love to connect with others to keep each other…

Re-start, hopefully the last *crosses fingers*
Last summer, I was able to go from 140 to 124 lbs due to kickboxing and being on a really strict diet. Now, I am back up to 130 lbs and aiming for 110. Not doing kickboxing anymore but hoping to eat better and mentally be motivated to do this. Goal is to be 120 lbs by February 18th, when I have a trip to California. We…

Reigniting the passion
I've had a personal trainer since October and strength/endurance wise I'm the strongest I've ever been. I want to lose about 30 lbs. I lost 80 before. I'm 40 lbs up from that but my composition is a *lot* more muscle than I had when I lost the weight. I'm starting to really hunker down on my diet and mental clarity again…

Weight Loss

I did not increase my workout intensity but I…

I need a support group, or something
I want to workout consistently and for a while I was. I would do some form of workout for at least 10 minutes each day, whether it’s a full workout or active recovery. But recently, I’ll make it two days of the bare minimum and then be really inactive on the third (and sometimes fourth) day. And then the cycle repeats. I…

Ah S*&$, here we go again…
First time using a message board, not my first time trying to implement a healthy lifestyle. I have to change things up, do things differently this time. Otherwise I’ll keep getting the same results. Maybe it’s my mindset but this time does feel different!

Oh my gosh! My eating has gotten out of control! And, I don't know how to stop overeating. My realization of this was last night - no judgement please - when I had healthy filling for tacos and then I had not one portion of potato salad (I'm trying to clean out the fridge, which makes for odd meals) but ended up eating…
