I'm in, I'm supposed to run a 5K on March 14th that I'm WOEFULLY unprepared for. Is there a plan for logging progress?

Coming from a background of very low self-esteem myself, I have a suggestion for you. Get yourself a journal and EVERY DAY write at least ONE positive thing about yourself. It can be anything from the very simple to the very complicated. Small accomplishments, large accomplishments, anything so long as it is POSITIVE. For…

That is awesome. I wonder if Siri is responsible for that one. She's always mistranslating me.

I nearly came out of my chair when Conda said "Excuse me, I'm not a spiteful person. I am a role model for my daughter". Surely she can't be serious. Does she really not see what an instigator she is? My husband and I have started a game, we try to count how many times she says "like" during a show. It makes it a little…

I've been yo-yo dieting for about 15 years. I always start out really strong and then lose my resolve because there's a holiday, or stress, or school or work or (insert random excuse here). There's always something to shove me off track and it's really hard to get back on. I recently started logging back in after several…

I'm trying really hard to stay motivated myself. Maybe we could help each other.

Congratulations Morgan! You're welcome to add me if you like. I'm trying to get back into the swing of exercising myself. Don't stress about the honeymoon, you're supposed to be "on vacation" on your honeymoon. Try to let the past stay behind you but not on your behind. Meaning....just focus on making a better choices most…

Hi Nikki! I'm 35 and clinging desperately to the weight-loss wagon for about the billionth time myself. I'd be happy to be part of your support system. I'm sure as you work through your "stuff" the weight will come off and you'll feel strong, proud and healthy. You can do this! GO YOU! (And you other responders too!)

I'm a HUGE fan of those Jello sugar-free desserts. Boston Cream Pie, Banana Supreme, Dulce de Leche. About 60 calories and fantastic. Jello cups with cool-whip are tasty too and cool-whip free is virtually no calories. Also Dannon & Yoplait have very tasty yogurts for 80-110 calories each. And if you absolutely MUST have…

My turning point (at least the most recent one, I've had several) was the fear of diabetes. My mom is Diabetic & half her siblings are also. I'm in my mid-30's and 255lbs and I'm getting needle like pains in my feet. A harbinger of periferal neuropathy (nerve damage common in diabetics). I'm praying I'm not too late to…

I lost 30lbs in 2009 and have since gained back about 20. So I know what you mean. My problem was that I tend to work toward a number and when I reach it I get complacent. Then when the scale starts to go up I rationalize for the first 5-10lbs and then I get resentful & depressed and say "Screw it, I may as well have some…

Way to pull yourself back up by your boot-straps! It's not an easy path to follow, but you will be rewarded if you keep it up. This is one thing in life that we have complete control over, and we can choose to be healthy and happy no matter what else is happening.

I would keep 2 things in mind. First, your exercising more so your body is building muscle which weighs more than fat. Second, ever watch the Biggest Loser? Everyone has trouble in week two. I think it's part of the natural body adjustment. Keep up the good work, you'll be fine. I've heard adding muscle to your body also…
