I gain 6 lbs during ovulation and gain 3-4 during period. I am 46 years old and for the longest time I would let it get me down. I have found that weighing in 5 days before my period works best for me and keeps me motivated.:smile:

Please add me if you wish. I would love to have you as a friend. I do not have many as I like to concentrate on them and be there for them. Bonding with others is important for success. I am new, only 2 weeks ago started and I had a horrible day yesterday full of tears and hopelessness. My mfp friends pulled me out! With…

You are not whiney. You are honest. I have fallen off the wagon on my own many times. This time though, I blogged, got some good advice, allowed my pity party to not pass 24 hrs and boom, I am back this morning with a renewed hope I did not have yesterday. You have to make yourself accountable. First off, get yourself some…

Add me. I read your blog and yes we all, or most, suffer from the same feelings toward food.I am a foodie and have to play mind games so I can hang tight through the struggles.The problem is, the fat girl inside me sometimes is a step ahead of me. Come and be my friend.We will conquer this through good friends and a strong…

I always go over my protein, but without it I get hungry and then the cravings get to me. I am a newbie of two weeks and I just started tweeking my diet as of only 2 days ago playing around with a little less protein, for instance, instead of 4oz of chicken on my salad I will try 2-3oz.Since it is only 2 days really have…

Why are you defining yourself as black? You are human right? Society has warped us into this diversity philosophy.Diversity divides because it highlights our differences.I have a lot of black friends whom I consider to be the best friends I have (I am not black) but they are my friends, not because they are black, but…

Me too! Add me.:smile:

I started over a week ago or so after seeing a picture that my Parish church wanted for their Anniversary. Wow, I could not believe that was me in the picture.I would love to be your friend and go on this journey together. Stay posted and keep a 'logging'.:smile:

My Birthday is Dec. 23rd.I am on board!

Don't get discouraged. It is your body's way of protecting itself.It floods itself with water to repair muscle tissue. Don't fret. Just keep up the exercise and keep up your journaling.In the end, you are the winner, not your stupid ***scale.:wink:

Tosca Reno. Look her up and she explains clean eating like no one else.Oxygen magazine and Clean Eating magazine is a great resource. When I first discovered her eating plan I was scared I would never get used to such healthy eating or bland eating. I was so wrong! Now I crave the incredible tasty suggestions.She is the…

Substitutions. Using these helps to curve cravings and stay satisfied without feeling I am missing out on my favorite foods.My favorite chef show is Hungry Girl. I not only watch her shows for inspiration, but I also have her books and DO NOT MISS out on the love of FOOD. For instance, when I want fries, I just take a…

Have you heard of Hungry Girl. She has fantastic recipes you can get right on line. :flowerforyou:

Doing intervals 2-3 times per week does wonders for endurance and strength. When running, the more movement with your arms helps you propel your body forward to add to your speed. Good luck with your running. Keep up your hard work.:smile:

Coffee raises your insulin levels so it does make you hungrier. If you visit any site for low-glycemic or diabetes related sites it will have that information readily available to you.I did find a company that has the only patented fat burning coffee and I have used it for the past 5 days and I am amazed that I have no…

I am new.A newbie for just a week. What I can tell you, is that, for me, it is all about becoming accountable. For every bite you take, journal in your MFP food section.Yes, this will truly be painful, but, facing the Truth really does set you free. Once you see in writing all that you have eaten, you become enlightened.…

Your message in one word. VICTORY. Thank you so much for the motivation.:happy: :laugh:

I started a week ago. I have not been adding my exercise into the site because just seeing that number makes me want to eat the added calories it says I am allowed.That does not work for me as I feel overstuffed and my body/brain scream at me because it is uncomfortable.I began this new journey because I had lost 50 pounds…
