Elizabeth_C34 - This is great to remember. The mental aspect of a healthy lifestyle is just as important as the physical aspects. If I'm having a rough day or didn't meet a calorie/fitness goal, I sometimes start to feel frustrated about how I'm not doing so well on that day... but then I remember that it's not about just…

An excellent and inspiring attitude :-) We all have setbacks; the ones of us who come out on top aren't the perfect ones, or the fastest or the strongest or the best-looking. It's the one's who keep getting back up and trying over again every time we fall. :glasses:

Some very good points :-) It is always good to remember not to judge - even if the person you are trying not to judge is yourself. It's possible to change, but not instantaneously, so we have to learn to enjoy the journey.

Found it in the forum. I sometimes do that by accident... maybe I will try it more intentionally :-) Thanks for the idea, I'd never heard of that before!

Thanks to all for the good points! More cardio noted, c4talys7 and Brandie1988! ("c4talys7" - I just got your name - I'm slow at the Internet. Lol.) chevy88grl - What is zigzagging calories? I'm intrigued! jetsec - I should be measuring but have been too lazy. You are very right on that. I love MFP because people like you…

That is excellent! You've made AMAZING progress, and I love your strategy for dealing with a rough week! Seems much better than getting down about it - I'll have to remember that for future :-) Also your gym outfit is super cute!

That is pretty much exactly the boat I'm in... I'm kind of sad because I've not had the exciting results I see others post in the forums. Maybe you are right and tweaks are in order... I'm just not sure what. :frown: But I like leaving the pound loss set to 1.5 pounds; then I can aim a little higher and achieve the 1200…

Hi kooshajan! I am 187 pounds and also looking to lose 40-45 pounds. When I set my page to 1.5 pounds loss I have 1280 calories; when I set it to 2 pounds loss it is about 1200. I have my description as sedentary because left to my own devices I am :wink: But my goals are 45 minutes exercise 5 days a week... So I guess I…

I do knit! How fun to find others here who do! :happy: I am currently working on my first-ever baby blanket. It is similar to my other projects (basically all scarves), still a rectangle but bigger... lol :bigsmile:

Hi guys - I'm a newbie - and this thread made me wonder: How do you see someone else's food diary?? I guess I thought you couldn't because I've never found any of my friends'. Is it something people can set their privacy settings to hide, or am I just slow?
