" .... but no more excuses, " Stick with that mindset and you will get there. Get focused on you. Not the TV, facebook, friends. You and your goals. Only you can get up early to workout, only you can turn down that cigarette. Only you can opt NOT to stop at a fast food joint for some crap meal because it is "close and…

Great job! This support should keep you motivated towards your next set of goals!

Phil, I can relate to a lot if not all of what you said. As far as the protein intake, hard boiled eggs or turkey seem to be my mainstays to get what I need. Keep at it, anything is possible once you "figure out" what you need to do to succeed.

oh it is an awesome vegetable, just not available to all eating plans. ;-)

While what you have mentioned here is all great, you didn't mention carbs, which is why she is avoiding them, especially if she is on a low carb eating plan.

You are right on the route TX to Phoenix, sounds like you are going to be on I10, and travel stops for gas is going to be your main options. SO fast food options, not the best. Two things. 1.At the "Subway" / gas stop locations, have them make salads and not sandwiches, and add the chicken (or turkey) to the salad for the…

+1 great post!

I am not trying to sound harsh, but, if you do not track your eating, how do you know you are really eating low carb? Throw the values into myfitnesspal and use that to determine what you are really consuming, I bet that will throw some light on the lack of weight loss.

If your goal is to gain muscle and loose fat, then you need to forget about using a scale for your measurements. Get a tape measure and start measuring calf, thigh, hips, stomach, chest, neck, biceps, etc every week to 2 weeks. This will be a more accurate (and motivating) measurement, then looking at a scale everyday that…

Keep remembering what you said as your mantra. You need to put action and dedication to what you want to happen. Pills are not going to make it happen. CHANGE will. Change in your eating, your record keeping, and your mindset. Accept that you don't want to be that person anymore, and realize that you are going to have to…

If you are training and have pain, you will not be able to keep training and your goal of the marathon for 2014 will be a lost dream. Talk to your doctor and find out what is going on, don't try to push through it. All you will do is make it worse. For home remedies, ice your joints. Lay a towel on them, then place a bag…

Find a time every night to hit the "compete this entry" button on your food log here in myfitnesspal and stick with it. Make it a pride issue, something you "look forward" to doing. For me it is 7:30 PM. Once I hit the button, I don't eat, drink anything else (that has calories). How do I deal with the stomach growls late…

Snide comments are generated from those who by looking at you, realize that they need to change. It is a self defense mechanism that allows them to feel good about themselves when they are around people who are making changes (in this case, you!). Ignore them, they are projecting their own lack of confidence in themselves…

Thanks astrampe. Another reason to wear one!

Hey all, How do you track your P90x workouts in myfitnesspal ? For example what would you list legs and back vs kenpo? Thanks!
