ICU RN here. I volunteer as tribute lol! I work nights and at night we only have a crappy little cafe that sells chicken tenderloin, hamburgers, pizza, and tonsssss of desserts... I'm really bad about bringing my own so usually it's off to the cafe I go! I've stopped that now but it's really hard to know what to eat, and…

I'm trying to lose about 80 pounds. This week was my first week and I lost 4. 76 to go, right? Feel free to add me! :)

Great post. I'd like to emphasize the "wussy pain" vs real pain part. I tried to restart C25k this past fall. I was doing great, end of week three, but my legs were KILLING me. Not just while I was running, either, but almost all the time when I was walking too. I tried to ignore it- I figured it was just muscle pain- and…

28) because I have seen my mom hide behind someone in every picture she's ever taken, and I need to fix what I'm doing now or that will be me too. 29) because it's embarassing posting pictures on facebook knowing people I've known for a long time are probably crapping their pants with how much weight I've gained 30)…

You can do this. You really can. You seem overwhelmed so try just taking it one day at a time... one step at a time... one choice at a time. It will come together and you will get there. Baby steps.

Good idea, focusing on the positive. Today I had sushi, and not all healthy sushi either. Some of it was the fried delicious kind with spicy mayo. BUT, I am proud of myself for being mindful about my food choices- I had water to drink when in the past I would have had coke, I filled up on edamame and miso soup and seaweed…

After reading through all the responses here two things are clear to me: One, many people are in my same shoes. I'm sorry to see you here but I'm glad to have company on the journey. I really hope we can all stay in touch along the way! Two, it clearly CAN be done because there are several people who have commented that…

Yay for nurses. I keep thinking the weight will come off because I'm on my feet moving for twelve hours at a time, but that only works if I'm not sneaking a snickers bar every hour or hitting the downstairs cafe as soon as I've got time! So, starting with fixing how I'm eating seems be the natural area to focus on for me.…

Thanks you guys! Appreciate the encouragement. I'm taking this one day at a time. I believe I can do it but I also believe that the more support I can find via friends, online forums, etc, the more likely I am to succeed! I have no problem friending anyone so friend away. For now I am mostly on here for the forums and to…

I weigh myself daily but I'm only inputting it once a week. The weight I put in will be from the same time wearing the same clothing type every week.
