I feel ya! Single mom here. I'm up at 4:30am without exercise, just enough time to start the day. Last night I got home at 9pm. Sometimes it feels impossible, but not every day.

Thank you. I am a bit the same way, BigLifter...my motivation is being comfortable in my own body and feeling stronger/healthier. Sometimes, I just feel overwhelmed, I guess. Some days I feel great, and I feel like I look great. Other days, all I can see is this belly pouch that I can't seem to get rid of, and I feel like…

Eat something filling before you go, that way you won't be hungry. Then just take a few bites.

That is about what happened to me, also.

lol!

I agree. Your situation is pretty rare on these boards, at least I haven't see it before. Maybe you could call a dietician (sp?)

I'm originally from Dublin. My first name is Aisling, and my maiden name is O'Grady. We live in Portland, OR so of course we have to go to Kell's for the St. Paddy's day festival! My daughter is so excited, she wants to have the flag painted on her face (again). Already made some soda bread for my coworkers today, making…

Ha! Could be true. Cranky people should take naps, and eat a cookie! ;)

Thanks! I kinda threw the whole weekend out the window, and Monday morning's weigh in wasn't pretty. I also haven't exercised since last Tuesday. I WILL get back at it today, though!

I love the mud! Mud makes everything better. :)

I am still pretty new to running in general. I just started running in the nature park near my house and I loved it! It is so much more fun than running on the street. I am about to sign up for a mud run in June. I have a lot of work to do before I get there, though! Yikes. Any tips?

7.6 lbs in one week? WOW!

Yay! There is someone here!!

I know how you feel, and I've posted about it. I also have a fear for my safety, just because it was always drilled into me as a kid. I am now excited about running. I do get a little paranoid, but it is exciting to see how I've progressed. Have you signed up for a 5k?

Tonight, I will eat half of mine in the form of wine or beer. :drinker:

Cheating is doing/saying ANYTHING you would not do/say in front of you significant other.

I had a cashier at whole foods once ask me if I was going to use the sun's rays to heat my frozen food instead of the "bad" microwave. Yes, dip****...I am going to wait a few days for the sun to thaw it out in rainy Oregon and then eat the rotten food. :tongue:

That is an awesome profile pic!!! I hope I can get a good picture. lol! It's a mud and ash run (haha, like my name), there is a mountain of ash we have to get up....and then down again. I was told to make sure that I'm not expecting to ever wear the clothes again. Should I go to Goodwill and buy a pair of used old shoes or…

It's in Washington, but I am in Oregon.

All I can see are dollar signs! This company is ingenius. They are taking the idea that Wii started with combining games and exercise to the extreme! Awesome

Looks like I may not get a reply. lots of posts today! I do know that you should bring a towel or blanket with you and change while hiding behind it.

bump.

This is exactly me!! I want to be a runner, so I am hoping my by body gets over its complaining. If I get on a treadmill, I get dizzy and end up falling and flying off the back of it.

Monday isn't higher. I lost 1.2 from Friday to Monday and then 1.2 from Monday to Tuesday. Every Tuesday is lower than any other time in the week. Tomorrow it will go back up, I'm sure of it. It's just weird.

My new favorite snack keeps my hunger away between lunch and dinner. I have an apple with some almond butter (ground at the store). There is fiber, protein and good fats in it. So yummy! It seems to do the trick for me. If I want some carbs, I add a few fat-free pretzels.

5'11" currently 184, goal is 165. I got down to 150 a few years ago, and when I saw pictures of me...it was too thin! I think 165 will be perfect as long as I am healthy.

I thought my face looked thinner on Saturday, and that night a friend texted me to tell me she could tell in my face that I have lost weight. It was so nice to know that it's not in my head!

What a great topic! I have a base list that I use for every trip which includes: Plain non-fat yogurt Acai-pomegranate juice bananas ancient grains tortillas light string cheese apples laughing cow cheese bell peppers pesto mozzarella spinach ground turkey sandwich thins fish almonds hummus baby carrots almond butter…

You should check out K'naan's new album "More Beautiful Than Silence", there is a great motivational song on there called "Better". lyrics: "When I lose right now, I'm betting all my chips. When I'm broken down, I'll be brushing off my kicks. I'm gonna get it somehow, yeah you can count on this. I'm only getting better,…
