  • Also I noticed you love crisps, I'm not sure what those are but making room for them in your log and only one pack at a time is ok too as long as you plan for it. BUT I want to stress to you there are tons of healthy snacks that you can have a little more on that are better for you, shop around and check out other peoples…
  • Only you know how you truly feel. I think you're being hard on yourself but if you know yourself that you could potentially binge to the point you make yourself sick then be proud of the fact that you only took one slice, look at it as a positive not a negative. Maybe look at the reasons you go so overboard on foods you…
  • Awesome results!!
  • I live next to a lady who smokes off her front step, she has a can on her step and yet she chooses to throw all her butts all over her lawn! Lazy, and gross and I get to see it when I go to my car as our driveways and yards are right next to each other. Duplex whoas :(
  • Unsure the details of your health issues, however from my own experience, I have injured my lower back, torn ligaments and a slipped disc and I hear and feel grinding in my lower spin regularly, sometimes i can be sitting and turn my torso slightly and it will grind or 'click' I have started off very slowly again for a…
  • Depends on the situation, because lets face it, there are people with jobs who still don't seem to have any money......it would be based on the individual and the current situation and their history. I am a very independent type and raised my two kids on my own with little to no help from their father so I would take all…
  • For me because I am eating separate from my family I grocery shop just for me. I know nobody is touching my cottage cheese, broccoli and squash LOL I take extra time to prepare my foods, weighing and measuring and now that I am watching my own portions and taking the time to prep them I own it! I never waste food anymore…
  • I'm back for my second round on MFP and going strong with 22 day streak, no plans on going anywhere this time so anyone feel free to add me up :)
  • @jemhh...I don't understand it either. I took out some squash from the freezer that I had measured, precooked and frozen and I was adding it to my meal, and my meal only and my bf comes out into the kitchen and says "ewww what is that??" I calmly said, don't worry it's not for you and he got into a huff and went back into…
  • Great job!!! Be proud of yourself and keep pushing forward!
  • who doesn't love a delicious brownie!!??!! Definitely going to give these a go this week! Thanks for posting :)
  • What it comes down to at the end of the day is you, your body and how you feel. There will be many people in your life that don't share your views. The majority of people will not be open minded enough to understand, or feel threatened because they know they don't have the strength to do it themselves so therefore it's…
  • I can relate with your situation. I also have to deal with my bf getting angry at me when my 12 year old daughter tries to do what I do (which most children mimic their role models) I see nothing wrong with my young daughter going for healthy choices because mom is, and if she wants to throw on some gym clothes and go for…
  • Feel free to add me! I am back on here for a second round and now on a 22 day streak. Enjoying the wonderful group I have met so far and always welcome more aboard. I am on here regularly monitoring my own progress and giving motivation to my awesome group of friends
  • Great work!!! Does that sweater come in a smaller size :wink:
  • I'm not sure I personally could regain trust and be with someone who doesn't love me and support me 100% That being said everyone is different and everyone's level of tolerance is different. I would have kicked him out without batting an eyelash. You may want to take some time for yourself, re-evaluate what you need and…
  • I am 5'7 and was always 120 as a late teen to young adult. Now into my 30's after an injury I am seeing weight of up to 149lbs....Imagine my shock! I am now on a journey to get back to feeling healthy and not looking like I swallowed a lawn tractor tire. In saying that I don't think 120 is realistic and I just had a…
  • I visited Mount Royal a couple summers ago I had a fantastic time in Montreal :)
  • I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. We have the highest tides in the World. The tides come in twice a day and our coastal scenery if phenomenal. Definitely recommend googling it and visiting if you can.
  • I do walk, a fair amount and more so lately. I find walking beneficial but some days the constant impact causes pain especially going down hill. I was told by my doctor yesterday that an MRI wouldn't tell me anything the X-rays have told me which is that there is nothing structurally wrong with my spin. I do a lot of…
  • Hi everyone! East coast Canada here! Looking to get motivated and to give motivation in return. I truly believe hearing others stories and finding people who can relate is a huge part of anyone's journey, new friends always welcome.
  • It's totally reasonable! The little things in life make up for a great day and that is a completely reasonable thing to set your mind too. There are many ways to measure our accomplishments and it doesn't matter how it sounds to other people, it's that feeling of accomplishment you want to feel when you are able to cross…
  • Thank you everyone for the suggestions, Callanetics sounds interesting I will give that a shot. Went to the doc again yesterday and got nothing, xrays are fine so I'm not being taken seriously. I will take it into my own hands and do what feels right until I find a new doctor to give me solid answers. My doctor doesn't…
  • I have had two X-rays and they have come back normal, so I guess it's all in my head? LOL The doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths cannot help or really pin point what it is. My family doc says it's a bulging disc and from the feel of it, it has not been properly diagnosed or treated in the past, It's…
  • Feeling your pain. Dropped my calorie intake and sugars dramatically in a week, increased my water and BAM! Bloated and gained weight!!! I also bloat at the drop of a hat, food, water, stress, TOM you name it! Hopefully over time your body can adjust to the changes and be for the better, stay optimistic :)
  • Some people have gluten sensitivity as well, there are different reasons for limiting or eliminating wheats all together. Recently my 12 year old took a spell, hit her head and passed out, prior to this spell she ate a lot of breads and I am now going to have her checked for celiac (as well other reasons for this spell of…
  • This happens at my workplace as well then the people scoffing these donuts down their throat make a point to notice the people who are not and then usually follow up with a little comment. I use my germaphobic tenancies to avoid these situations also the fact that people seem to act like they've never eaten before when the…
  • Thank you for sharing your experience StormEdge. I can totally relate and I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better. I find I am slightly opposite in a sense that I exercise when I'm having good days because it seems easier and I don't suffer through the work out but the next day I am in a lot of pain so it makes it hard…
  • Thanks again! I have to say since living with this kind of thing it has definitely changed a lot of things in my life. Paying attention to what my body tells me definitely dictates my daily life. When I feel pretty good I run with it and when i need to chill out I will. I cannot be laid up long, I am 35 with a family and a…
