I hear ya! I have been struggling with mild-moderate depression/anxiety issues the last couple years. Even though I've managed it, and have been in a better place now, stress will trigger it and I'm stuck. For example, an accident happened at work almost 4 weeks ago, and I was so affected by it (guilt, anxiety, stress,…

I'm a newbie! Setting my first goal. I tend to set too high of a goal, so I am going with what's a good realistic attainable goal for me. So my goal is: 50 miles of walking/slogging/moving [/url]

i just received a new one...(had the old Fit Bit...but it finally fell apart). i have the Zip now since i don't really need the sleep stats. Add me!

great job!!!!

just watched a great documentary on it, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and it has a website for it: www.jointhereboot.com i recommend watching the documentary first and then read the site. it has the details there. i'm starting the juice fast tomorrow for 15 days (my hubby hopes to do it for 30 days or longer). we'll see....…

so have you had any results? my husband and i just finished watching the documentary (on a whim on Netflix) and we are buying a juicer tomorrow and going to juice for 2 weeks. then incorporate whole foods and cut down on meat/poultry, good clean eating. curious to see how you did! g.

out of all the threads that i've read, this is the BEST one by far! it's true. extra weight looks totally different on shorter people. i feel like i can do this by seeing all that you guys have shared. i am 5'1" and 39.5 years old. i need to look HOTTT before i turn 40. i am currently at 217lbs. i lost 15 lbs. when i…

wow!!! gorgeous!!! SO inspirational! thanks for sharing!!

just got Kinect (well, my bro did) and it is a great workout! we have Dance Central 2 (has a Fitness Mode), the Kinect Sports is good (volleyball, and boxing are excellent workouts, and fun with the fam), and the Adventures (it is more geared to kids, but great cool down calorie burner----some of those games are non stop…

i have FitBit and absolutely love it. i love the interface, the use of the website (logging in food, to me, is easier via FitBit; however the phone app for MFP has greatly improved), it tracks your steps, calories burned, sleep tracking. the only thing is i like MFP's "community" and forum/message boards better. so i have…

love the word "wogging"...that's what i do, from time to time. i'm getting back on track. just walked for 35 minutes. but hope to increase that to more time / more mileage. the last time i really wogged regularly was about 8 months ago. i lost some weight, felt AWESOME. then i had two accidents and injured myself and fell…

THAT"S AWESOME!!! KEEP IT UP!

YIKES!! i'm back on track! sucks not having internet!! boooo.... SW: 220 (as of 11/01) CW: 218 i hope to crank it up with cardio this week! GW: at the end of the month? it would be nice to be 215 or under. keep moving that booty, everyone!!!! G.

LOL i bet!!

day one was not perfect but i stuck through it most of the time. so that's good. i just hope i don't mess up on dinner. i "accidentally" (LOL) ate a fun size snicker peanut square (never had one before...OMG so good...sorry, i digress) at my training today. but i forgive myself because i didn't eat the muffins and the…

i'm in..i NEED THIS! i did this a couple years back, just to detox and jumpstart weightloss, and it was definitely hard for 3 days, but after that so much energy, less drowsiness. i wasn't as hungry (no hunger pains like before), regulated blood sugar levels....of course, i eventually incorporated fruit and whole…

i'm definitely in. i need to be motivated and get back on the wagon, like i was before. it's been more than 8 months since i've been exercising regularly and gained back the pounds!...i NEED THIS!! SW: 220 lbs. GW: 150 lbs. Neck: 16.5" Waist: 46" Hips: 46 "

Sounds cool! Name/ real name: G. Goal weight on November 30th: 215 11/01: 220 11/07: 11/14: 11/21: 11/28: 11/30:

Jalapeno Hottie checking in~ 4050 calories for this week. Most of it done by walking, and LOTS OF HOUSE CLEANING!!! G.

I think I measure 5'0"...but "feel" like I'm much taller....So I'll say 5'1" everytime. LOL My husband is 6'2", also!! G.

i am sucking. last week it was taking care of my mom recovering from chemo. this week i had training for work so had to commute further and no time for myself PLUS checking in with my mom after work and not getting home until 11p. yesterday, my mom went to the hospital for a possible liver transplant. it's been an…

i thought i had a rough week!!! yikes!!! my only excuse is that i had to spend a week commuting back and forth to my mom's house, taking care of her while she recovers from chemo, and coming in late to do "work-related" stuff until 2-3a each morning. and you managed to meet your goal!!! AWESOME!! okay, no excuses for me!!…

i was so glad that you decided to keep going. i saw your post a few days ago and decided to check in and see what your decision was. i know how you feel. i'm in the same boat, mentally. i feel like there's a wall i need to break through. don't look at the negative comments. there's more positive and supportive ones here.…

i'm checking in...i didn't meet this week's goal. sorry Jalapenos. i will do better this week. for sure!! guen

wow, there's a lot of great reasons people have posted above to keep going. especially since you have a family. i am trying to lose weight so the doctor's can ALLOW me to have a family. i have 75 lbs. to lose. i have been always been on a "diet"' since 3rd grade, having body image issues already (i was not an obese child,…

J. Hottie checking in! i've been using this link to calculate my calories because i know your calorie burn varies by weight and age, and i think MFP is just an average. http://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/calburncalc.htm So far I hit about 400 cals this morning. Plan to get in 200 more this evening. It's 101 degrees…

Way to go J. Hotties!!!! this is such a big motivator!!:laugh:

that's so inspiring! way to go! i started in jan. 2011...i lost 15 lbs., and was really good for about 2 months. but i'm a big stress eater, so when i had two accidents, i was off the exercise radar and healthy lifestyle was thrown out the window. i put back the lbs., and now picking myself back up. this summer, i'm going…

I barely made my goal this week. But I made it, fellow Jalapeno Hotties! I have this slight cramping in my calf, probably aggravated by being on my feet all day photographing a wedding (I'm a photographer). Nearly cramped up on the treadmill and had to stop after 40 min. I've bern drinking water rating bananas, drinkin…

sounds challenging...but i need something to keep me accountable and motivated. i'm in! do we need a before pic?
