That's the nature of learning to move through or past something. If you say you want to have less of it in your life you will get more until you can effectively deal with it and then you will have much less. There is not much you can do about a person's personallity. If she has always been this way she probably won't be…

I love my husband. This morning I was griping at him for waking my up at 7am (I usually get up at 5am for work) on a saturday, but he wanted to do yoga with me before we went to the famers market to get veggies. I was not pleased but I threw on my yoga pants and hit the mat. I have to say it was wonderful. My husband…

Ft worth TX, its mid 70's here nice but ver over cast and windy. Its been thretening rain for days.

There are seveal things I would suggest. I know that when I plan in my calories to allow for one treat a day I don't feel cheated and look forward to it with out going over. I would not recomend eating at night becasue what I've learned it that if you eat two hours before bed you body turn that into fat becasue its in…

In a way this week has been harder. My school shut down for three days because of the flu scare and that has caused me to be at home with a world of temptations. I have been getting up at the regular time and tring to stick to my regular diet but there have been a few hitches. Also my knees have been giving my trouble. I'm…

Me too. I'll be thiry this coming Jan and my husband and I are thinking about kids. I told him that I don't want to go there unitl I reach my goal weight. I'm been moderatly over weight most of my life and iwould like to give my boady a chance before it changes with pregnancy. Good lick to you. You deserve it.

I love the biggest looser too, I watch it every week to get my motivation going.:smile:

I am greatful that I loved myself enough to get up work out and do my quiet time instead of sleeping in on this unexpected day off.

There is a reason that you are drawn to somet hings and not others you should honor that interest by at least giving yourself a chance. The classes are open which means ou have just as much a right to be there as any one else, the question is do you believe that? Do you think that you deserve any oppertunity to love…

i have gone over once or twice but they were accasions when I didn't have much control over the food ,like my in-laws house. So I just make sure I eat really healthy and do a little extra on my work out. I think more than anything it has to do with balance. We all will go over at one point or anther but if you balance it…

I just got back from a meditation retreat this wekkend. It was wonderful to be out in nature and learn to be quiet. i did half a day in total silence and it was really wonderful just to listen to myself and my heart. I made a pact with myself that I would not give up on my morning yoga just becasue I was in a different…

I'm 183 this morning. That's 2 lbs from last friday. So that's good. Have a great moring.

Hi, so I'm new to the group but looking forward to getting to know you and having a little accountablility to help with the process. I'm 29, married and teaching HS art in TX. I want to loose weight so that I can do anything that I want to. I do't want to be limited. As for today it was the last day of state testing at the…

I wanted to provide a place for people to talk about thier motivations and other things they have discovered while on the path to being healthier. So I guess I'll start. I have been in counceling for a while for a number of reasons the most prominant being that I didn't care very much about myself or my own needs. Everyone…

I'd love to join you too. I have lost 10lbs but have a way to go to get to my goal. It would be nice to make a few careing connections to help along the way.

Today my husbadn asked me to have breakfast with him and packed my lunch for me to I could get dressed. I leave really early and we don't usually get to see each other before work. I'm thankful to have such a loving person in my life.

I think you did great. I know how hard it is, every day I walk into the office at my school (I'm a teacher) and there is all kinds of things there that I don't need to be eating. It takes a lot of self control to think before you eat and make a choice based on what is best for you and not what is in front of you. I think…

I know that must be dissapointing. I had knee sugery last spring and it knocked me out for a while on the cardio but you can still strength train other musel groups. And even if they had to do sugery they will have you up and on a stationary bike before you know it. I would try to ajust your caloires to accomidate the lack…

I tried for a long time to "be" a certain way, thin, pritty and the list goes on. I was never successful and always found myself under a new layer of guilt and discrougament when I was through. But slowly it changed and I can track it back to something that a friend said to me when I was having a "I'll never change"…

Do what you can now. And...most cruises have a work out room or you can get in a morning walk. I'm not saying to spend all your time but a little will help keep things in balance.

I am too. I noticed when I first started taking it a few years ago that I gained about 15lbs. I haven't been trying to lose weight for very long but I do think it will matter when I get to that last 15.
