I think this is a personal experience thing. If I eat whatever the heck I feel like and just keep my calories down, I dont lose weight. If I eat lots of carbs again I don't lose weight. If I stick to fruits, veggies, and no processed foods I lose weight like crazy but lately I feel like crap and tired. So I have upped my…

I have a friend with this problem... I just bring extra salad to work everyday and make her a big beautiful salad and make her join me at lunch... I don't think shes currently eating any other meal but I can sleep at night knowing I got her to eat at least once. Hope the stress calms down soon, you feel better and get your…

I used to work at a foot massage spa. Go to your doc, rest it as much as you can, stretch and get it rubbed! Got a significant other? Fab then its free! otherwise seek out a friendly massage therapist to work that out once the inflamation has gone down. Plantar Fascitis is very painful so baby your feet as much as…

who cares?

Yep they asked me if I wanted to change it on my last renewal and sure enough the first time ever it was almost correct.... so I lied and now in another thirty or so it will be right again. Seriously its rude to ask anyway and if they wanted the truth they would weigh ya. I sadly don't do anything illegal anyway. bahaha

You look BEAUTIFUL! Wear it with confidence girl you're rocking it!

Sadly we all hit this point... feeling fat and unmotivated and like all the problems in out world are closing us in to where we want to give up on everything that is hard. But nothing worth having is easy! relationships are difficult and hard f***ing work! Being fit is hard work too but for me dealing with another person…

I love Cilantro.... But hate Sage! I can burn it like inscense or smell it growing wild but put it on food YUCK! This why I hate stuffing and most poltery seasoning. Cilatro I can eat fresh on anything yummm... salsa, pho, anything! wheres the anti Sage group meeting at? I must have turned a wrong corner.

I also used to hate to sweat but now I look forward to it! My workouts are one of my favorite parts of my day;)

I used to be a picky eater.... But I kinda convinced myself I like more things. Bananas I now love when before thought they were nasty for example. I now love to try new things and cooking things in a variety of ways makes them taste different and consider myself a foodie. Roasted brussel sprouts would never have been on…

Oh come on it was not the worst book ever... Storyline was predictable and at times boring but how else would you ever realize you were entirely Vanilla.... and wanted to keep it that way! lol I love books and will read anything though! I will never reread it though I am happy to have that little glimpse into adult fantasy…

Yeah, I have a couple of yoga pants. Same problem... I just may have to lower the intensity of my workouts until my waist shrinks enough to hold something up but I'm trying to avoid that.

salsa too! I love salsa with cucumber slices and celery sticks! it makes it a much lower calorie snack than chips and salsa.

Yep I hear you! It hasn't been difficult to find other outlets but the first week of being accountable for every morsel that went into my mouth was sooo hard! I was crying because I felt like I was punishing myself for being overweight.... more than once. In fact my doctor offered me meds to help with the emotional…

Yep! huge boobs! got a gut yet no butt! Big girl here but been called chicken legs. I have curve envy of every girl with junk in the trunk.

I just started this today, I was wondering how to log it under exercise?

I have the chinese symbel for the letter F on my right shoulder blade. Picked it off the wall which said it meant Faith, wich is my middle name from my maternal grandmother who I never met. My Chinese friend Yang said nope its just the letter F... So I guess it is just my middle initial

bump. excellent! making this for the work pot luck on tues!

I haven't done alot of this but as I go new clothes are a necessity so every ten to twenty pounds I hit the thrift stores for smaller sizes since I have shrunk out of my "skinny clothes"! Smaller cuter clothes are a reward in themselves but I think my next reward will be the xbox kinect with some fitness games including…

I love cooking and being a reformed foodie iI can cook anything yummy! So it would be a maid/ personal assistant so I can work, cook, art, general playing and not worry about wasting my time doing laundry, buying tp or other annoying necessities. Its a nice fantasy!

I have found that usually if you are asking questions to try and make him happier that means you just want him to check in and see that you are not... I ended up divorced because it came to the ultimatum of go to councelling or I'm leaving. Honey if you ain't happy and he isn't noticing you need to throw some tantrums and…

I have run from 260 to 220 but my Dr told me if something hurts do not do it! For some reason I can run on a treadmill or outside and be fine, hop on an elliptical and my knees hurt like hell. Just listen to your body it knows what you should or should not do. I have a workout buddy who can't run but loves the elliptical.

I have learned that my mind is my biggest hurdle as in what I tell myself.... but I can change that! Sure I'm tired and had a bad day but another mile won't hurt and drowning in calorie laden sweet goodies will. I have convinced myself I dont like pop or fries or nutty bars based on how I know I will feel afterward not on…

so inspiring! awesome job!

definition in your abs

I would say a couple months til it gets easier but I definately start working harder to keep the results coming. With running though there is a proper way to go about it. I follow a running schedule when ever I start again from the beginning ( which has been many times). Find a book on running with a training program…

fellow pescetarian here! was vegan at one point but slowly added more protein as I realized I was no where near getting enough! first dairy and eggs then later fish... love fish but if I had to catch it and clean it myself I would go back to veganism lol. I am still looking for support here myself. sending request :smile:

Davenport Iowa but I'm from South Dakota. I saw no other Iowans or South Dakotans posted hmmm could it be because there are so few people? Zombies have wiped most of them out now:tongue:

Great story, thanks for sharing! I have been a member here for over a year but only recently got serious about the changes I need to make. MFP will be what you make of it. It and the people here can be incredibly positive and inspiring. I will send a request Good Luck on your journey!

That's awesome! Way to be creative! I cant think of anything near this creative I have done to get my favorite foods in other than just sticking to veggies to get me some wiggle room. My biggest problem has been portion sizes of my favorite foods. I have to avoid grilled cheese, breads, cakes, cookies beacuse I will think…
