Both! Gotta give love to get love! Question: How long have you been on MFP?

Sure, add me! I need all the inspiration I can get!

Added. I feel like that when I am depressed. Sometimes our frame of mind is everything. Sending good vibes your way.... also I agree with doing one small thing today. Then again in 30 minutes. Then again tomorrow. Keep making progress no matter how small.

Progress so far. Long way to go!

Just went looking on how to log this.... LOL

Two people disagreeing with your advice is hardly hating. I dont know you enough to hate you. I think I stated my opinion (which was asked) and it disagreed with yours. Also I think Ive done so in a respectful way. So sorry you disagree.

Thats fantastic for you as I said in my original post... I just wished to say to those considering doing what you are doing (maybe some of us with behavior problems) that this would be a HORRIBLE idea to think was ok to fix the symptom and not the original problem. By saying people do the same thing to lower colesterol is…

I think to myself would you rather have ONE bad day or a WEEK of bad days? Id rather try to work off one day of slip up then adding a weeks worth of weight gain to lose.

After reading your post I was a little put off by your comment.... "its worth not gaining the weight" So why not just eat a normal portion and work it into your intake of food? It seems like you use this to "cheat" when this is not about cheating so much as it is about learning to eat correct portions of food. You seem to…

Im here!

Make sure you are doing a proper warm up and cool down too so you can ease your body and blood flow into relaxing. Also make sure you are warming up and stretching well before going at it.

Depends... does your multi vitamin have calcium, iron etc? Personally I take one multi vitamin that includes calcium and iron.

My personal view is to forbid nothing but to train myself to eat in moderation and make better healthy choices. I get fajitas or make them at home so I know how much oil is going into the prep. Chicken shrimp or even steak it’s actually a smarter choice then getting some other types of meat that are cooked with lard (like…

Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Grab some weights (2lb 5lb etc) and bring them with you while you walk. I do my arm lifts while walking. :D Try the elliptical. I love them! :flowerforyou: Oh by the way.... WAY TO GO!!!! What a huge success so far!

I would love to know as well! :flowerforyou: I think they mean mantaining a heart rate over a set amount for 30 minutes a day.. dont know if thats all together or not...

Its still in your food. Some of the "natural" stuff more dangerous then the stuff they have been using for 30 years. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/organic.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_food (under pesticides)

Amazing JOB!!! You look soooooo goood!!!!! Keep it up!

All I have to say is watch "Bull**** - Organic food" Whats Penn and Tellers agenda? The part I found interesting is that some "organic farms" are allowed certain pestisides and can still lable their food orgainic. Whats my point? If you really want orgainic grow your own food like I do. If you want to argue semantics that…

Feel like you got a raw deal? Then vent ............... My guy and I had been together for eight years. High school sweethearts. We were both working hard and had a little place together. He struggled with depression being very overweight and control issues. His issues became my issues until I had enough. I said goodbye to…

I walk on my lunch and breaks then at night I get in my workout. :flowerforyou:

Congrats!!!! Way to go! :flowerforyou:

YEY!!! :flowerforyou: Good for you!

I count 1/2 of the tea I drink. So if I drink 16oz I list that as me drinking 8oz of water. I get a tea in the morning then fill it with ice and water for the rest of the day. That way I get something other then water in the morning then all day long I know how much water I am drinking. In short: I count it as 1/2

I mix it up. I do 5 small meals a day for 2 weeks then switch to 3 meals a day for 2 weeks. It works well for me! :flowerforyou:

Just had a tuna wrap and cheetos... I feel terrible about eating so many calories but good because I finally feel full. Here is what I ate today Breakfast: Bacon egg and cheese on an english muffin - 360 cals Snack Orange Juice / two cups of red grapes - 267 aprox together Lunch: Tuna wrap on tomato tortilla -630 cals…

Ahh yes the old antibiotic/BC trap... :grumble: Poster: I wish you luck! You make talk to your doctor. Good luck in your trying!:flowerforyou:

Call your doctor and ask him for a referal to a nutritionist so you can have the tools to help you. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

Great JOB!!!! :flowerforyou: 21% less me!! YEY!

Have you tried water exorcises? Anything low impact that wont stress your back... the best person to ask is your PT. They can give you all kinds of ideas that wont hurt you further. :flowerforyou: Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!!!
