I have several trips planned over the next month; so my motivation for today is to be fit enough to enjoy walking all day seeing the sights.

I love that quote. Thanks everyone!

I am not going to make the cookies for the cookie swap. Coming home with two dozen cookies of all varieties will just make it hard on me. I may try making them with Stevia, Truvia, and Coconut Oil and give them to friends if they taste good. As far as my friend goes, I am just going to tell her that her comment was…

Participation trophies. If you don't earn it, you shouldn't get it. How else do kids learn the value of hard work?

People who are constantly negative.

Depends on if you have health issues that contribute to easy weight gain. I use GTF Chromium because I am insulin resistant. My morning sugars have gone down from around 190-200 to 105-115 since I have been taking this. I, also, take Stinging Nettle Root and Saw Palmetto to combat the symptoms of PCOS and Vit. D for a…

I'm at 1200 but I eat 1300-1400 with exercise. I don't eat a large variety of different foods; but, I have lost 48lbs in this past year (8 since joining MFP a few weeks back). I needed help getting past a plateau and this has really worked for me. My diary is open and you can add me if you want.

I have PCOS and, YES, it does make it harder to lose weight. I am not sure about anyone else's journey; but I know that I have to approach things a little differently. I have hormonal spikes that make it nearly impossible for me to stop eating on certain days. Being insulin resistant makes converting carbs harder than the…

I have days when I could eat the wallpaper off the walls; nothing seems to satisfy me. I found out that it is a hormonal problem. Once I knew what the problem was, it made it easier to walk away from the fridge and right out the door. When I can't get satisfied, I go for a long walk. Then, if I am still hungry when I get…

Thanks! I will look that one up. Fast routines, routines with jumping or getting up and down from the floor, and routines that include a lot of bending at the hips are hard for me to do. I appreciate your advice.
