I to am in the process of overcoming this problem. Last year I was working out everyday, lost about 15 pounds and then for some reason depression kicked in. I joined the gym this week and so far have gone 3 days straight. Like you I would make up excuses why not to work out, etc. Heck I wouldn't get out of bed if I didn't…

I am in if you have challenges for somewhat of a beginner. I was doing great last year but then I got real sick and never got back into it.

I will stick to my Jillian Michaels whey protein shakes, that one doesn't sound to good

Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck with the rest of your weight loss. I know I can't do it by myself and don't know many people who can, that is why I love MFP. It is wonderful for tips, motivations, etc. Everyone on here is human and everyone has "relapsed" as we shall say but with motivation we all come…

Stretching, Water and potasium. You need plenty of all 3 to avoid cramps.

love this one, I have been in law enforcement for 15 years!!!!! I have to say though the best excuse given for speeding actually came from ME, when I was in high school.......but officer I just started and I have to get home b/c I have my sisters brand new jeans on and she will kill me.....embarrassed him so bad he ran…

Stevie Nicks!!!! even though she is not a actress that is who I would want to play me

MFP is so awesome, again Thank you everyone for the help and advise. I have tried Weight Watchers and there I didn't lose anything, was hungry all of the time with no encouraging words from anyone nor advice and was having to pay for it.....

thank you I am going to try that, I will do my harder workouts before work and my lighter ones like pilates after work

thank you very much!!!! I am not going to give up going to take everyones advice and eat better, more and change up my exercise!!!

thank you very much. Yeah the fire department here sends me a check for NOT cooking, lol

is that a dvd workout or something on the internet?

my routine changes weekly due to being on 12 hour rotating shifts, so when I work days I work out in the morning before work and when I work nights I work out in the afternoons before I go in. Normally when I get off of work I am to exhausted to work out when I get home that is why I don't work out in the evenings when on…

No I haven't started weight lifting yet, just the jillian michaels 30 day shred. My work schedule is to much of a headache to get a gym membership. I work rotating 12 hour shifts and need I say more, lol

Thank you for ya'll advise. I will add more calories and try to eat better. All though I am eating alot better than I was before I started. I do hate eating out alot but with my schedule at the sheriff's department, I have to when I work and at home, well.......I really don't know how to cook there for the eating out or…

yes I log everything, I will add more calories

MFP did

I do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and Shaun T's rockin' body. With my work schedule I don't want to pay for a gym membership I won't use much so everything I do, I do at home. Good Luck.

I use body fortress chocolate and peanut butter flavor with skim milk and it is awesome, sometime I might add just a little bit of banana

I am just like you, had a hysterectomy at the age of 30. I didn't have any problems with my weight for another 6 years. When I gained all of my weight, I couldn't lose it to save my life. After joining this site, logging everything everyday I have so far lost 6.5 lbs, however; my doctor did run all sorts of tests on me to…

I have found that it is very helpful to check into this site everyday to log your food and your exercise, that is what keeps me motivated. Also, helps to have friends on here to keep you on track and motivated

I am to needing to lose around 25-30lbs. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good Luck :happy:

sounds great, I had a personal trainer a few years ago at the gym and I miss having someone to ask my questions to and to help me

I have to try these

sounds really good going to have to try this!!!!

I have. When I first moved to Tennessee I lived with my Aunt for about a year and everytime I would try a diet she would cook everything under the sun that she knew I loved. That would make me of course go off of my diet and not lose anything. After moving out I tried several diets on my own and couldn't lose really…

Even though I have even started, I have lost 3 pounds without going to the gym. I workout at home with Jillian Michaels DVD's and Shaun T's Rockin Bodies DVD's. I can also tell you that if I have had paid for a gym membership I still would not have made it to the gym so that would be a waste of money for me.

you have to go with what makes you happy inside

I am with you, I am only 5 foot tall

I agree. I wouldn't go on effexor if you can help it. I would find another one if you can!!!!
