That's helpful, thanks.

Thanks! That's encouraging.

Thanks. Yeah, that is a very good point. Will I do it on my own? I just really want to do some strength training that is challenging-develop a good routine that will push me.

Counseling is worth a try. It has helped me. And rule number one is to care for yourself and be good to yourself. Give yourself positive feedback-fight that criticism and negative self talk always bumping around in our heads. You're a beautiful girl! and you can do this.

Girl, I understand. I was borderline anorexic at one point. I struggled against that but then gained a lot of weight to the point where I have high cholesterol and am overweight. So, I joined MFP to lose weight and be more healthy. However, I've found that just counting calories brings up that compulsion again to be…

I don't. It doesn't work for me because I just won't wait for the achievement. If I want something or want to do something, I'll just do it.

Welcome! Best of luck.

I like Vega One. It's pricey but it fills you up and has low sugar, high protein, and tons of good stuff.

The sugar standards are crazy on MFP. I eat next to no sugar except in the fruit I eat. Two pieces of fruit can put me over for the day. I know I'm supposed to eat fruit, so I ignore it. I just make sure that the other food I eat has 4 grams of sugar or less per serving and has no unhealthy crap. If I do that, then I…

Flattering suit. I think you look great. Enjoy yourself!

I'll be honest, I pretty much stay on the Westside. But if you need tips out here, let me know.

Welcome! I'm a newbie too, and its seems like the Westside Group is new. Hopefully we get some more members on the westside.

You're right, thanks.

OO, thanks for sharing, that sounds yummy.

I couldn't believe how much sugar (relatively speaking) eating a banana added.

I haven't looked yet! I sent them to my email for reference this weekend.

I love to hike. I'm on the westside so I can't get out there during the week, but weekends would be good.

It's rough! Mine is turning 10 this month so it's a bit easier now. The littler they are the more difficult it is, so my heart goes out to you. Honestly, all you can do is concentrate on taking care of yourself, and that means nurturing a good support system-a good community. If you get depression or anxiety, get…

I like the whites too. I guess I could just chuck the yolks. I'll do some research on the protein shakes. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply and the good advice. I'll concentrate more on carbs. My only concern with eggs is that I have high cholesterol so I don't know if I'm supposed to limit the number of eggs I eat? But I do love them.

Thanks! Do you know of any websites with protein shake recipes? It'd be easy enough to blend something in the morning.

They are super low. I was surprised that after breakfast I only had like three grams left! It was that darn banana. If I eat as much fruit as I tend to do, I'll go over every day.

I'm pretty lucky to live in a great climate, so I can hike a lot. I have a guide for hikes in the area and try to challenge myself and also have fun. Also, I've never heard of P90X. Is it working for you?
