It is ok to splurge every now and then, just don't make a habit of it. It is actually good for your body to do, so it doesn't get used to the same ole same ole all the time. I have a craving at least once every 2 weeks for BBQ, and being originally from TEXAS it is hard to find any decent in Ohio; but when I do. Whoa…

I am currently 285 pounds and a 40 year old white male at 5'9". I use a Garmin 310XT with a Heart Rate Monitor and it shows differences as well, I also used to use a BodyBugg (Biggest Loser) in addition to the Garmin and MFP. Anyways, I always take the lowest number so that I may or may not have extra calories to play…

I'm not complaining, I really guess what I'm asking - is this what a mid-life crisis is? And I just signed up for another 5K race (since my original post) the weekend before I turn 40. Thank you all for your responses.

We all have goals that we need to achieve; regardless of our image or whatever one is trying to achieve. I do believe that it is unfair for anyone to judge another, unless you life in that persons body and life. I really wish this whole hollywood stereotype would just go away, I prefer to associate with someone because of…

I have been on MFP since December and have experienced this phenomenon several times. It is biology, the body is going to do what IT wants to do when IT wants to do it. Your body could be retaining water or waste, or be starving for food; there is no 100% perfect solution since every body is different regardless of what…

There really is no predetermined weight as which you should begin..I initially told myself I needed to be below 250 before I started (which is where I was when I lost about 100 pounds 15 years ago), but didn't pay attention and casually started at 275 on lap followed by walking a lap and so on. I would run exactly 1:40 per…

Angelajeanne23, Good luck to you, I think that this site is great at people helping people keep motivated, but it also helps if you have someone on your journey with you. This is MY list of things not necessarily goals but I just labeled them that way. Goal #1: Quit making excuses and do it! I made excuses for 10 years as…

Keep up the tobacco free lifestyle. Tomorrow will be 12 weeks dip free or me (almost 2 cans per day for 17 years). It's great actually having the extra money and not having to listen to my wife complain about it anymore. The first two weeks was the toughest for me, but I have not had a craving since week #3. Quiting dip…

Great job taking the first step! I've been on since the first week of December and have lost 24 pounds so far even through the holidays. I made the choice to change for my wife and my 20 month old son. My wife also uses MFP and we both love and challenge each other daily. My lifestyle change includes quitting dipping (2…

Sharee, Good luck, I started on this site yesterday and also have the motivation of a 19 month old at home. I am going through a major life change...I quit dipping smokeless tobacco five weeks ago (no slips) and started working out four days a week three weeks ago to get into better health not only for myself, but for my…
