I had lost 100lbs one year and I agree it was pretty offensive to get different reactions from people I had worked with for years before. I appreciated attention from people I had just met, but had very little patience with my workmates. These were people I worked with in a professional manor and dating had nothing to do…

Hello fellow nocturns!! I work 7pm to 7am 3 nights a week with a big stretch off in between. Most weeks I stick to that schedule since I have been on nights for years, even on my 6 days off, I rarely get to bed before 4am. I would love to have more friends to journey with, lots to loose and starting the DASH diet this…

That is an awesome idea!! I am going to try that one, it might just be what I need to keep on it!! :)

I am right there with you today, starting over... again. But hey, at least I am not giving up!! I was doing great for a while but then let life take charge of me rather than the other way around. I stopped tracking, started dipping into the candy bowl at work, and quit exercising all together. Well to no surprise, today I…

Hard work is paying off!!

"Oh my goodness!"

Love is never easy.... And you really should have checked earlier... just sayin. :)

Every family has some secrets..... some are worse than others, like in your case. All you can do is just try and focus on the positives. Good luck!

Thanks for the input! I do use an app which is the free C25K app that is associated with MFP, it uploads my workouts to my exercise diary. I did figure out the problem with the numbers it uses as opposed to the ones in the MFP exercise database, in that when the app uploads, it does so based on a standard person. When…

I used to weigh every day, but then I would just get too neurotic about the results!! If I gained or just maintained, I would get depressed for the rest of the day. And then there were those times of the month that I would try to rationalize any gain as "water weight" or just blow my diet all together because I got all…

Agree!!

Try to order something that is grilled or in a "garlic wine" sauce instead of a cream sauce. Load up on the salad! And drink lots of water. Lots of places will also let you modify your order to omit the pasta, especially when its something like a chicken parmesan that usually comes with a side of pasta. Good luck! :)

I have so been there and done that!! What has been working for me lately is to have a "free day" once a week. I let myself have whatever I want, but only on that day. When I get a craving during the week, I always think.... "I am going to have that on my free day"..... but more times than not, I end up having something…

Bonney Lake, WA here!! And I am also a night owl!!

After re-reading your post, I am wondering if you posted on the wrong site! Ariix website looks like an "Amway" type diet plan, and there are no actual "diet plans" here, just food and exercise tracking. Sounds like you are eating pretty healthy so just keep it up, limit calories and get more exercise. Remember, it didn't…

Since I am working this weekend, I will have a nice breakfast before bed, and then just a light meal before work in the evening. We are celebrating all the birthday's & Mom/Dad days on Wednesday since my sister is going to be in town. Then there will be cake!! lol

I am great at sticking to my goal and sometimes coming in under goal, during the week. And then I only weigh myself on Friday's. After that, I pick one or two special treats (ie: cheetos, cookies, candy etc...) and then a special meal for Friday. I still workout and then get right back on track Saturday morning. It works…

One thing that always works for me and has kept me on track is I have a "free day" once a week. On that day I can eat whatever I want WITHOUT GUILT!!! This allows me to deal with cravings during the rest of the week. If I have a craving I just decide that's what I will have on my free day. The good thing is, usually by…

Mine would have to be shooting pool. Love doing it when I go out, however I am horrible at it. On the other hand, my games are epic in length!!! :)
