Hey Hams! Horrificat here! Let's get this community going again! Any hams still active on here and interested?
GOMI Holiday Challenge
What's your holiday goal? Let's keep each other motivated and post updates here! There are 64 days until Christmas. My goal is to lose at least 7 pounds by then, and to be able to run 2 miles straight. I also am planning to stretch and do some sort of body weight exercise every day. When I feel stressed or anxious, I'll…
Cool articles and motivation
Every now and then I come across good articles or motivation pieces that I thought would be nice to share with the group. Feel free to do the same! Here's the latest from Nia Shanks' blog: http://www.niashanks.com/2013/10/why-you-work-out/ An excerpt: How many times have you done a workout because you over indulged at a…
Non-scale victories!
Yeah we all want to lose weight but sometimes it's nice to see we're not just tied down to numbers on a scale! I'll start: being able to hold a 1 minute plank and thinking this now feels easy! ETA it feels weird to post on a forum that doesn't allow you a plethora of emoticons and dancing bananas

How did everyone's weeks go? I started Monday up 5 pounds from a long weekend wedding celebration so I knew (hoped) it would come off during the week since it couldn't have been 5 actual pounds. I tracked my food and exercised everyday and I'm now down 4 of those pounds. Woot woot! I plan to stay on track this weekend so…
Franzia-glazed ham isn't really healthy. Healthy recipes?
What's your favorite healthy recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks? For breakfast I'm usually a creature of habit and have oatmeal or PB toast with banana, but every now and then I like to smash an avocado on a pita or toast and put a fried egg on top. Mmm. Should try it with hot sauce. I currently eat lunch at work…
Calorie Counting
Hey, do most of y'all use the food diary on here? I've never really been a calorie counter because when I'm eating healthy most of my food is homemade and it seems like such a pain to figure out the calories. But, my biggest problem at this point is under eating on some days and then massively over eating on others so…
Lo Carb anyone?
I've been tossing around the idea that maybe carbs are what is causing me to not lose. I'm not a huge meat eater, but I can do stuff like chicken on a regular basis. I love the carbs though, but I don't think they love me, lol! I've read about a lo carb eating plan called Dukan, and from what I understand it's not as fat…
Stumbling Blocks
So, I am really good at eating healthfully and taking care of myself during the day, but that all goes to hell when I get home from work. I'm tired. I want carbs and wine (um, ALL the carbs and wine). I want sweatpants (with a generous waistband) and the couch. I'm going to start trying to get to the gym after work as a…
What's everyone doing for exercise?
I've set a schedule for myself to run/walk at least 3 days a week, and yoga with an app I have twice a week. I'm also letting Sunday be a day I don't track my calories. Not saying I plan on going balls out on Sundays, but cut myself a little slack and maybe have a drink or two. Just curious what everyone else has been…
