That's a good graphic! I'm a wordie, so I had to look this up: hedonism |ˈhēdnˌizəm| noun the pursuit of pleasure; sensual self-indulgence. • the ethical theory that pleasure (in the sense of the satisfaction of desires) is the highest good and proper aim of human life. Our hedonistic pursuits do not need to include food!!!

Congratulations! I had to laugh at your "teetering on the edge of normal" as I feel mentally and emotionally aren't we all??? He HE!

What a great photo! Can't wait to read about your journey!

Whew! I'm still in my 40s -- 47 to be exact but can't believe I am not 35??? My grandma always said "You are as young as you think you are" and she decided to "quit camping" at 91, and aerobics at 90! If I want to follow in those great footsteps, I need to get back in shape and take my little food obsessed mind to a…

This was extremely well put! Thanks for walking the walk with all of us!
-
Thank you so much! A real person with real results!

Please add me! I love youth (20's) but good to have some 40 something friends with kidz!

I will have to dig out my own pics, but I have to say, I laughed aloud just at the title, then at the "oh hel no" moment. Laughter is good medicine.:laugh:

This is so refreshingly honest and hilarious. Honestly the first thing I thought of when you asked for support..... LOL You got it for the girls, and from us MFP pals :)

Welcome to you! And CherryBlossom and others, great advice. I feel your emotional eating pain as I experienced the same thing when my father was sick and then died all right after 911. I was unsettled and I went for food and the cliche up and down of dieting ever since. WHILE you are working this all out I will tell you…

You can add me. I just started back on mfp AND Zumba :) I really would like a community to talk to, not just crickets or auto-generated posts. I had a group like this when I did couchpotatoto5K and it was so motivating. If someone was having a hard time and I told them to go for it, it motivated me to go for it and vice…

Great inspiration. Great job! Can I add you to my group? A story: Yesterday someone came to work with us on our dog's OCD on light reflections. As she was training her, at one point, our dog just sighed and relaxed. That's when she resigned herself to the new reality of life with light reflection limits and submitted to…

Also, a co-worker and I looked it up and I think 10K steps is about a 5 mile walk. Is that consensus?

I am going to get a FitBit. My success story was that I worked a retail job where we were haulin all the time. I noticed I was losing weight and believe me, I would know if I was actually trying :) So I got a pedometer (very cheap) but my steps in a 7 hour shift measured 14,000! I was so pleasantly shocked. Then I tried…

Please. I'm in as well! Don't know what all these initials mean... Oh, figured it out SW:204 CW:200 GW for month of May: 195 UGW: 132... size 8?
-
I just tried them. JUST the white yam ones. They are clear and stinky but tasted wonderful with my spaghetti sauce. I am pumped to have found these!
-
Can I come too? I got up to 25 minutes over a year ago and then stuff happened and I stopped. I'd like to start again and am so glad to find a support group in mfp!
-
Good for you! Makes me want to start C25K again. You can bug me about this! I went out the first day of week one and thought "60 seconds, how hard can it be?" Well as we all know it IS! One thing that helped me was a forum on active.com of people in the same week sequence I was in. When you do move past week one (and I…

I understand the logic of both sides of this argument. My dad walked all day at his job and always rationalized that he got enough exercise that way. He developed type 2 diabetes. I agree that if it is a part of your workday, set your settings accordingly. However I wanted to report that I just started a retail job that…
-
That story is really almost funny cuz it's so out of this world rude.... I thought it was funny you used the word "steamed" since that's how we're supposed to eat our fish. I hate fish.... love those little omega 3 tablets...
-
Excellent and inspirational!
-
Welcome! I'm on the same journey. How did we get here? But we are here and nowhere to go but down, in weight that is. Why do we stick to bad habits when good ones make us feel better in the long run???? Short term gain I guess. And gain is the operative word right? Anyway, welcome, and I agree about the no cold turkey on…
-
Wow. I was just checking on my topics and glanced at your 184, thinking "weight" and realized it was "weight lost!!!!!!!!!" Congrats!
-
Wow! You are inspiring! Thank you!

He he on the "Big fat puffy wrists" I finally lost weight, and I did not count a darn thing on Thanksgiving! It is astounding how high my nephew can pile a plate though! I cannot fit that much in at once thank goodness!
-
You go girl, for that Christmas goal. I have heard that you get addicted to that "runner's high." Wish I could say I got there, but the pride in my accomplishment was huge! I live in MN, so I am re-starting my exercise on a cross trainer. You can bug me on that front anyone!
-
Welcome!
-
I love your half mile by Christmas goal! Last year I did "Couch Potato to 5K" (You can google it) and it was sooooooo helpful. I did not make my 5K goal, but went from not being able to run 60 seconds without sucking wind to running 2.3 miles and 25 minutes steady!!! I was so surprised at how short a distance I could go in…
