I woke up from a horrible nightmare that my grandmother, who celebrated her 92nd birthday yesterday, had died. Hearing her voice this morning filled me with love and comfort.

LMAO!!!!!!!!

If you've only been dating for two weeks, it doesn't seem like a deal breaker to me. Have you met face to face?

When I'm feeling down (or have a headache), exercise makes me feel better. But I agree, it's hard to get motivated. Just decide you're going to do it for five minutes and see how you feel after that. Take a walk, do jumping jacks, just MOVE!

I'm on week two, day two. I just purchased a HRM to go along with it and normally have a 'race' scheduled on my 'off' day. I say 'race' because I typically walk half and jog half. So far I've done two 5Ks. Have an 8K on Sunday. So far I've lost one pound, but I'm also eating more because I always feel like I'm starving!…

I was about to say the same thing, so I'm just going to go with DITTO. FYI - I heard a conversation on the radio last week about this exact same thing, and they said red, white and black are all no-nos.

I feel like that is not a reasonable amount to lose in that time frame. Sounds like he's setting himself up to 'fall off the wagon' and start over eating. That's what happened to me last year. I lost 45 pounds and then gave in to the junk food and gained back 20.

You and me both.

5'3", 185. Started two years ago at 230. Just reset my 'scale' to reflect current weight. :)

Doubt it. But I could sit on her and crush her. :)

I just started to! I'm on day three. I'm sending you a friend request so we can motivate one another. :smile: :smile: :smile:

I definitely have a candy corn problem. However, I found a solution...don't buy it. I also have a werther's problem - so I stopped buying those too. Now i'm trying to view fruit and a better compromise. Very true about dinner - sometimes I forget to log it, but I'm trying to be better. Also during this time frame, I began…

Sorry y'all. Diary is open to friends. Fixing it now - all feedback is welcome!

Congrats! My first 5K was last weekend. My second is tomorrow. Then I'm moving up to an 8K and a 10K. I found that if I scheduled a bunch of races, I felt more motivated. However, it's been pouring down rain here for the past week, so I decided to start INSANITY. I don't know what I was thinking - my entire body hurts!

yes. Check out my diary - it's open.

Don't get me wrong, I love me some McDonalds....which is part of the reason I now need to lose weight. However, every time I see this pink slime picture, it makes me shudder. There's also a link in this article to the You Tube video referenced above (I think it's that one).…

There is something fundamentally wrong with you people who seem to find it amusing to berate or joke others. The majority of us are here for support and tracking, no matter what the individual goal: gain, lose or maintain. If someone asks for help, if you don't have any to offer, just don't respond.

I saw a lot of snarky comments. Be nice people, we're all here for the same reason. If you can't be a positive influence, keep your mouth shut. I did find a neat TDEE calculator that gives you percentages of what to eat based on exercise level. Not sure if it's true for my body, but might be right for yours. Here's the…

5' 3.5" (the point five really counts!) and could also use some motivation. I started on MFP almost two years ago with a SW of 210 (my heaviest was 230). I'm down to 180 now, but can't seem to stop the late night binges. I recently started walking and have gotten to jogging some as well. For motivation, I have signed up…

yup

yes. :love:

Small chicken caeser side salad (it's half of the lunch size portion. i'm having the other half for dinner.) and a slice of cheese pizza. I'm actually having the exact same thing for dinner. It was super duper tasty and right around 400 calories.
