Run your own race. Don't compare yourself to other people - you don't know their backstories, you don't know their journey. You can only keep to yours, and travel at your pace. Don't worry about what what other people are wearing - you don't know where they are going next. Focus on where you are going, and be pleased that…

When my mom had a hemorrhagic stroke, which would not stop bleeding, she went into a coma. Afterwards, she was hospitalized for weeks in the ICU during which doctors couldn't say if she'd ever walk/talk/make it out of the ICU. Focus is hard. But what I can tell you is this -- anything you can do to reduce your stress is…

You could be either an "8" or an "X" (my best guess would be "8") http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2010/05/more-on-how-to-figure-out-your-body-shape.html

Mall walking. It's indoors and plenty of malls have programs that allow you to walk around before the stores open. As for having people see you walk -- that you need to get over. I saw some people walking last night - I could not tell you what they looked like. I don't remember and I wasn't taking notes. For all I know it…

Rather than buy a bunch of 5or6 bananas, I buy 3 yellow and 3-4 green. This way they aren't all getting ripe on the same day.

Huh. Sounds like you are on week 2 of Couch to 5K: Week Two: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes. If so you are in with the in-crowd! Because there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of people on this site who have done week 2 (and…

Sounds like you are figuring it out - when are you tempted, why are you tempted and what is tempting you. Now you just have to figure out the how - how can you disrupt this habit, how can you move past this dynamic, how can you replace this with a routine that doesn't undermine your healthy day. If you are eating because…

Dinner party would be great - you should totally have one. This way you get to share the stroganoffs & cheese cakes with your friends & have a great time (keep the steaks). Having a slice of cheesecake with friends is much better than sitting in a room alone, eating it all by yourself.

Why does it seem reasonable for you to be unconfortable at the gym? Why are you protecting this guy from (possibly) having his feelings hurt by you if you simply say "Sorry, but I am not here to socialize, and I need to focus on my workout, I need some space" ? When you can't tell the truth about how you feel (at a…

let their expectations go - don't even bother trying to meet them. let their judgements pass you by - they don't know you, they are not your close confidants, they have never been insightful and will probably never be able to offer you meaningful advice. everbody has a right to be happy - and sometimes families stand in…

The first thing to do is to just track your food/exercise. Be honest and get a good picture of what your average day/week look like. Once you've established that baseline, identify areas where you can make sustainable changes (walk after lunch, workout for 20 minutes in the morning, tweak portion sizes etc.). Explore the…

Angel food cake and sliced strawberries. or fruit kebabs and chocolate dip.

Hey! I saw you -- and you know what I thought -- "there goes a runner". Take a look at pictures of 5ks & 10ks finish line-- look at the finishers & see runners come in all heights, ages, shapes and sizes. You know what makes a runner? They run. KEEP IT UP! (there are hundreds here who are cheering for you)

Another question: Why do we continue to need antibotics or painkillers, because aren't they all in the water and soil already (pharmaceutical contamination)? I think the previous posters have it right -- do the best you can, make the best choices you can. Criticism of industrial farming doesn't mean criticism of those who…

Do what you think is best, keep your doctor updated. I wish you smooth sailing all the way through. If you do hit a wall, plateau, whatever -- please look back on this thread not so much as people saying "you can't" -- because we really don't know what you can or can't do. Instead look at it as "what has worked, what…

Just keep in mind if you lose 1 1/2lbs a week, that means by Labor Day you'd be 22lbs lighter. By Halloween you'd be 35 lbs lighter. By Christmas you'd be 46lbs lighter ; by Valentine's Day 2014, you'd be 57lbs lighter.

MFP has me set at 1260. On days I don't work out, I try to eat at 1260, because that is what it is set at. When I eat over, I gain weight. So I either workout & I eat more, or if no workout I try to eat at 1260.

(leftover) Tofu stir fry on a bed of chopped bok choy. Last night was steak with sliced avacados. Tomorrow is mango chicken. Gotta have it pre-planned, otherwise I'd just eat scrambled eggs & baked beans every night...

Maybe something like yoga or pilates or tai chi, perhaps dance? But make sure you are doing the right warmups/pre-excercise movements for your issues.

whitefish tends to be less 'fishy' in taste. -- so flounder, tilapia etc. The easiest receipe for fish is to put it in a baking dish, smear 1 tsp of light mayo across the top, sprinkle with breadcrumbs to coat top and then bake. Fish tacos are yummy - and you can change them up by switching out your salsa (mango salsa fish…

Sometimes people get cravings when they are bored because they want to feel more energetic - but a fast walk can give you that. The cravings for carbs in the morning - try eating a high-fiber cereal for breakfast, like fiber one, or something warm like homemade oatmeal. Also look at food pairings -- I know that when I…

Honor your commitment to you. No excuses. No putting it off, no self-sabotauge.

Sometimes knowing that you do something doesn't translate into knowing why you do it, or translate into an easy answer to stop/prevent it. Could be that you got the message somewhere along the line that good things don't last,, or that opportunities are fleeting, so you need to take advantage now. Or could be that you feel…

Try soup - 1/2 block of ramen is 190 calories (and hot soup is satisfying). Try lavash pizza. Eat your starches as part of a meal . I find that the darker the choclate, the less I need to satisfy the craving -- could there be smiliar substitutes for your favorite starches? Popcorn for bread/crackers ? Would an egg on a…
