No, I haven't had an eating disorder. I mainly did it to have a better relationship with food. I felt that food controlled me rather than me feeling in control. I have learned some valuable principles, but I'm beginning to doubt that it's the right fit for me.

I think this is such a good point...finding out what is holding you back. I don't hate exercise...in fact I enjoy it when I do it. And I don't hate healthy food...I like fruits and vegetables. But I guess I'm lazy and I don't make my health a priority. When I prep meals ahead of time I do great! But I don't make the time…

I have a similar model. My husband hates vegetables and anything that is considered healthy and eats horribly...and the kicker? He's not overweight! He tells me to cook what I want and he'll eat PB&J or cereal for dinner. It sounds great, but I have it stuck in my head that it's my job as the wife to prepare dinner for…

65 LBS

I went in to MFP and entered my info under "Goals" and set it at losing 2 lbs/week. It set my calorie intake at 1,240 but I felt like that was kinda low so I decided to set my goal at 1,300.

I make egg omlet muffins. Mix a dozen eggs with a little bit of milk. Spray a muffin tin. Add egg mixture to tin, distribute evenly. Then add desired meat, cheese, veggies & bake at 350 til they rise & are golden on top. I love these for a quick breakfast!

I've been telling myself for the past two weeks to get up early and do my workout so I don't let other things get in the way. I've set my alarm early, I've set out my workout clothes...but today was the first day I actually did it! And it feels awesome...even if I did have to get up at 5am :smile:

I really like it! You can get a free 30 day trial. Everyday they post a different full body workout or you can choose from various programs if you want to do tabata, HIIT, pilates, etc. The programs give you a workout schedule & usually last a couple months.

No it doesn't have a heart rate monitor. It's just the simple clip style

New to this group. I need some suggestions, we're temporarily living with my parents and I have no exercise equipment or hand weights. The only non weight arm exercises I can think of are chair dips, push ups. Suggestions?

New to this thread. I think it will be helpful. I need to start again, but am lacking motivation. Maybe a day at a time will help. 1) Log every bite 2) Drink my gallon of water 3) Go for a walk

What is IIFYM?

I think I will struggle mainly with grains and dairy. But also I HATE cooking...but easy food has got me in trouble weight-wise and health. Also, my husband will not be on board and that makes it hard too.

Thanks. Last week was my first class and I thought I could do 3x/week. I only did that one on Wed because I was SO sore!! I've been sore before, but never like that!! I have an appointment with one of the trainers that also does nutrition counseling. I think they encourage Paleo....trying to get used to the idea :-)

I just started. Yesterday was only my second class. Is there a group here for CF supporters?

Mudbug66: Thanks for that chart. I printed cuz it is helpful. But most slow cooker recipes just say cook on high or low for __ hours. Thanks for the help though. I'll keep looking :-)

crista_b: That's the site I found too. But the kind of dutch oven cooking I'm talking about is without electricity. The dutch oven has three legs and a flat lid and you put hot coals under it and on top of it to cook the food inside. But thanks for helping out :-)

I did a google search, but didn't find what I was looking for.

Wow Loulady...Thanks! Great Ideas!!

I just went shopping last night to start the Whole30 today. I was not smart and went without a list! I have to say it was a little overwhelming and I think it's the longest I've spent at the grocery in a LONG time. But when I was done, I felt good about what I got and it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be. Do you…

The problem I've found with artificial sweeteners is that I want other junk food. I can't just drink a Coke Zero without wanting a salty snack.

My name is Nicole. I would like to join this group. I've been just half-heartedly trying to lose for years. It's time to get serious. Everyone in my familiy is obese/overweight and has health problems due to it...diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. Every year I say I am going to be in shape for summer and then it passes me…

I just joined this group. I have signed up to do my first tri in Aug (Sprint Length). I just got back from a 17 day vacation and really need to get my butt in gear. My goal this week is to just come up with a workable training schedule. I am so behind at work, so I know I am going to be so busy and exhausted this week, but…
