Refocusing On Building Muscle
My story is that I started around 155 at Christmas and I've lost about 15 pounds and I'm at 138ish. I've always felt that about 125lbs would be ideal for me. However, I was sick with a cold for a month and ate at maintenance in that time. I've been enjoying eating at maintenance so much, I'm thinking I might just continue.…

Small successes equal big rewards
A little background first. About three weeks ago, l accepted a new job. The two weeks leading up to the change my mood was a rollercoaster of emotions which, unfortunately, lead to eating.

Met or under my calorie goal for last 10 days - no weight loss!
I'm super frustrated. I have met or been slightly under my calorie goal for the last 10 days. In addition, I've met my fitness goals of cardio, weight training, and pilates during that time. But I've had no weight loss! The scale has not budged and it's making me crazy! I'm 5'8 and my weight has stalled at 131. My goal is…

Benefit Tonight--Awesome.... (Or Blergh.)
So I have to attend a benefit dinner tonight. Of course the menu is off-the-charts out of my plan; just guesstimating the calories for the full meal put me over my count in one meal. It's a benefit, so I don't have to attend them often, but still a little freaked out. South Louisiana does not do healthy cooking well. Ha!…

I need friends for support, but there's a catch!
Thanks for reading. I took a MFP hiatus. I am really struggling with nighttime snacking. I want to eat clean, but I started eating processed sugars again and I've been out of control. I usually eat clean during the day and then go to town every night. I'm ready to be brutally honest with my logging. Knowing that others…
