I think every couple has their highs and lows.

If you haven't quit yet, then you haven't failed. Just a thought.

Log everything. Every day. It works.

Chicken breast in the crock pot. Use beer instead of water. Chicken can be shredded and used in or on just about anything.

So, this was my last post and now I just came across your thread. PLEASE feel free to add me. "I am determined to get my stride back that I had when I first started this journey, and I realized that when I started this, it was FUN! Seems to me that the more serious I got, the less I wanted to do this and the more I…

One easy thing (or perhaps not so easy) is to cut down on the beer I consume on the road. It is very easy for me to sit at a bar and chat with the locals to pass the time away in the evenings. Planning to switch to mixed drinks or bourbons and having a glass of water always on hand. I know beer is much more filling, and I…

I am here if you need me.

Only if the doctor tells you that you have to in order to stay alive. Gastric sleeves are no different than tummy tucks, or anything else. They are artificial attempts to correct real issues. The answer is in two words: LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Yes, I know that some have it harder than others, but without the lifestyle change…

I am right there as well. 2nd round. Lost 50 lbs the first time, put 25 back on. I am definitely a night snacker and stress eater as well. Now that I am done with grad school and have started a much better job, I am hoping to refocus on my health and fitness. Please feel free to add, but let me know where you found me so I…

Too few calories is unhealthy and dangerous. Any encouragement the site would give for that would not only reinforce a potentially hazardous behavior, but would also put MFP in a situation of liability. While we are here to be supportive, we also need to be real with each other and not say "great job" every time someone…

From a former cop, that is blasphemy.

I have a great MFP friend that I refer to as the water nazi. I will introduce you to her if you need it! (-:

The elliptical and spinning are both low impact on the knees. That is what I have used and was exclusively doing when I first started getting back into shape. From there I was able to start losing weight and actually started running. You can do this. The spin classes are fun, and people work on their pace based on heart…

Wow, it is like you read my profile! I could not agree more. People confuse "proper diet" with fad diets. Every new fad diet, diet or weight loss drug, or latest and greatest workout machine all have the disclaimer in small print: "With proper diet in exercise." That doesn't mean eating tofu and kale the rest of your life.…

Hey everyone. I am Bill. I have been on MFP for a few years. At one point I had lost 55 pounds, but got away from daily logging and exercise and put 25 back on. Disgusted with myself for backsliding, and I am ready to kick some *kitten*. Add me if you would like, just let me know where you found me and a little about…

I am in! I have 20+ to lose, so this is perfect. Let's do this!

Everyone has to come to a moment where they make the decision that enough is enough. Welcome aboard. Just make sure that you look at this as a lifestyle change, and not just a diet or a program. You can do this!

Hell yes, let's do this!

@missiemarie21 You are more than welcome. I wish you all the best on this journey!

Welcome! FR sent

Completed it and ran a couple of 5Ks but fell off the wagon. No harm in starting over, and if you feel you can run through some of the walking periods during the earlier workouts, then so be it.

Good job facing it, but here's the first thing you need to do: Stop calling it dieting. It is a lifestyle change, not something you are trying out, or doing. Your eating and exercising and healthy activities have to become natural parts of your everyday life, not something you are doing. I know this may seem like a lot…
