I know life often intervenes, but I find it's helpful to plan ahead as much as possible. Over-prepare. Pretend the zombie apocalypse is coming and you will die of scurvy if you don't give your food pantry some serious forethought. Always have portable snacks in your bag; it removes the uncertainty factor i.e. "But I don't…

But... But I WANT to believe!!!

See, I find that the MFP estimate is significantly higher than the machine estimate, even the elliptical, which asks for my age and weight. This is why I'm so confused! I don't want to over-eat accidentally when I'm doing so well using my willpower...

Ever since I started going to the gym, the number on the scale stopped moving. AND I AM ECSTATIC! I am so psyched about the numbers staying the same or even creeping up a bit, because I know I am working hard, I know I am sticking to my calorie goal, and I know muscle weighs more than fat. So I just assume I am losing fat,…

Read this, too! http://www.joshilynjackson.com/ftk/?p=1675 Speaking as truthfully as I can, I will tell you this. 99.9% of the people in the gym aren't going to make fun of you. If they look twice, it's only to give you an admiring thought. Almost everybody there is working on their own goals and will be sympathetic and…

I would be glad to answer any questions I can, but really the best way to learn is to do, and that counts for both witchcraft and your health. People and books can give you lots of good information and starting points, but the real important learning experiences will come from you: from the things you do, the realizations…

I'm V., and like all of you, I'm looking forward to just having a little corner of the internet to talk with some like-minded people. I have been practicing eclectic witchcraft for about seven…

You know your body the best. Forget about the amount of exercise you're "supposed" to do, and just work at a pace that feels right. Your body will tell you if you're on the verge of hurting yourself, or if you need to tone it down. Pay attention to the signals, and you will be fine. Best of luck with your fast!

I bought two boxes this year, following my normal policy of getting two from everyone who asks me. It's probably lucky that I don't know as many Girl Scout parents now that I've relocated. One box is for me, to stick in the back of the freezer and snack on as treats when I have the extra calories. The other one I gift wrap…

I feel simultaneously awesome and repulsed.

Alysha - Congratulations on deciding to get healthier! I think once you start to lose some of your excess weight and see how good it makes you feel, a little loose skin will stop troubling you so much. Even so, there are some things you can do to try and minimize how much extra skin you have, and to get rid of it quickly.…
