  • I had high cholesterol as a kid. I went and saw a special doctor. I got sheets with smiley faces and sad faces showing me where I had to improve. I was seeing a nutritionist before i hit puberty. All while eating the exact same thing everyone else in my household ate! I went to a 'support group' where I was the smallest…
  • The data doesn't lie, but sometimes the data isn't fair! I can't have two eggs in a day without being over my cholesterol! I love fruit but oh the sugar! My weakness is a spoon and a jar of nutella :(

  • I think people probably notice more, but if they are like me they don't like to say. I find complimenting someone on their weight loss or health improvement can be very tricky. Tell someone they are looking good, and they might start thinking about how bad they must have looked before. Or the dreaded family, who might…
  • I found the C25K helped me lose weight. It gets you moving. Moving is good. But it was also a gateway to general good health. As I ran, I was eating a bit better (night before to start, then most of the day before, etc). As I felt more fit and my endurance increased, I didn't want to derail my progress by eating unhealthy.…
  • When I used to go camping with my Scouts and add approximately what I ate when I got home from the weekend. ALWAYS a big surprise. Now that I'm the one making the shopping list (after the youth decide the food) I can input my meals ahead of time and know how much I should eat at each meal. I can't change the fact that they…
  • I made meatloaf cupcakes. Worked out to about 150 cals per serving :) Then i had two. Plus frozen mixed veggies. And kraft dinner :s
  • Got into a relationship Then got in a car accident (at work) Same day of the accident the car i had just bought was delivered to me So i got comfortable, got to drive everywhere instead of walk and take the bus, and got terrible rehab from my accident. I even worked with a trainer before, but i was in so much back pain i…
  • I know there are many different way for different people to make their goals, but i really hate hearing from people (even if they have been successful) "don't eat dairy/gluten/red meat/fruit/etc". For me a change was not eating drive thrue or 'treats'. Do you know me? Noooo. Do you know what my docto's advice has been? Do…
  • Thank you for this :) although the pizza cone is not my thing, i chowed down on a serving of nutella sweet potato fries at the exhibition last week. Worth every (probably an underestimate) 1,000 calories. Because i will probably never enjoy it again. I got in a slight tiff with a girl who works out the same place as me. I…
  • but how do you *feel*? it could be muscle. it could be the extra water (i hope) you are taking due to increased activity. i went on a hiking trip. i weighed myself before i went and was down (woo!) but since it wasn't my normal day, i didn't log. when i got home 5 days later i weighed myself again, and was up almost four…
  • I'm 5'7" and was at 185lbs at my worst. Down to about 170 now, hoping to get down to 160lbs and 35% body fat We can be friends :)
  • Picked up a box of turkey sausage yesterday. Probably make one or two for dinner along with some frozen veggies
