  • I am working my way through the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. I'm on From Potter's Field now. I read the paper version....not interested in reading off of a screen.

  • Beating yourself up is self-defeating and very un-motivating. Take it one day at a time. I have good days and bad days with my eating....Try making small changes. Eat two servings of fruit then add a third after a week or so. Do the same with veggies and cut your portions back slowly. I know that when I went "cold turkey"…

  • People that I have told say "Oh, I don't have time for that." or "I waste enough time on the computer".....

  • I had to respond to this!! OMG! I always thought that I would have to "do without" the food I loved because I was trying to lose weight!! LOL Then I could never figure out why my "dieting" didn't last and I couldn't lose weight and I'd get discouraged until finally the light bulb went on and stayed on instead of just…

  • Thanks for this...I do an intensive MMA training program two days a week with a guy that trains MMA fighters so losing muscle won't be the problem. I actually just started calorie counting because I lost 8lbs training and haven't lost a single pound in probably over a month. He told me it's my diet and to start counting…
