  • You are most definitely not alone!! The holidays are the worst! I ate almost an entire box of turtles last night.... When I am on track, I am fully on track, but one small taste of chocolaty goodness and I am done for.... I know it is not the right attitude but I am so ready just to give up and start again fresh in the new…

  • I am also a daily weigh-er... lol. Is weigh-er even a word?? I fluctuate up to five pounds a day. I stand on the scale every day before bed and then again in the morning... I know they say we shouldn't but I just can't help myself. Cheers, Alsison
    in How much do you flucuate in a day? Comment by Alsison December 2011
  • I know exactly where you are coming from. I am no expert so please take my comments as just a suggestion, but to me this sounds like it is not due to hunger, this is due to food addiction. I believe this because I too am a food addict. Sometimes I find myself eating and eating and I can't stop. I continue eating until I…

  • I've got to say that this is one of the funniest topics I've read on MFP in a long time... Thanks for the entertainment!! I wonder if arguing about punctuation burns any calories...??

  • I have a bunch, but my favourite by far is the Results "10 days to a better body" It is an interval training video which has two separate workouts, one upper body and one lower body. I owe my first 50 lbs lost in a big part to this DVD. I am interested to hear other opinions... Cheers, Alisison

    in NUTRITION: Vitamins Explained Comment by Alsison October 2011
  • I always go by the nutritional information labels or restaurants info when available. The problem I am having is when I eat out somewhere that does not provide this information. For example, today I had sushi for lunch and the MFP website gave me several different calorie counts for tuna and salmon sashimi. Thanks for…

  • Hell ya I was on the Couch. Could barely run for the one minute the first week... If you can't do the minute, do what you can until you manage the first minute and then start progressing through the weeks. If you need to double up a week, do it... The most important thing is to get a good pair of shoes. It will make all…

  • Your post just made me so sad. You are doing a fantastic thing for yourself and you need to realize this. I know the journey can seem endless, but you will get there. Have you ever read "The Secret"?? Sometimes just focusing on changing your thoughts can be more instrumental than any other part of the journey. I wish you…
    in i need motivation and support Comment by Alsison October 2011
  • Good for you girl!! Have you ever looked into the Couch to 5 K program?? I am in week four at it is absolutely amazing!! It allows you to run more and walk less each time building up to 5K after 10 - 12 weeks. The best part is you start off only running for one minute at a time. You have already proved you can do that!!!!…

  • Well, the seven days of the cleansing capsules are done and nothing... I now head into the 7 days of the probiotic capsules. I am surprised to hear that this adversely effected some people because whatever it is I must be immune to it..lol. I will let you know if anything changes. :ohwell: Cheers, Alison

  • Day Four and Still Nothing.......... I am not sure if anyone is actually reading this, but if you are at this point I would recommend not bothering with this one. There has got to be better cleanses out there. Cheers, Alsison
    in Has anyone tried Jillian Micheal's 7 Day Cleanse?? Comment by Alsison August 2011
  • Okay day three of taking the MetaCaps as directed and I still honestly don't feel any different. If this is flushing out my system I am not to sure where it is all going because other than peeing every 2 - 3 hours due to the amount of water I am drinking, nothing else has changed if you get my drift. I am kind of waiting…

  • Well, I decided to give it try. I took the first two capsules last night and another two this morning. So far I haven't felt any different at all.... I agree that it does seem weird for Jillian to offer a cleanse, but as it is all natural ingredients I figure there is no harm in trying. For those of you that are…

  • After the last comment on this subject, I went surfing for reviews... There was such a huge variety of feedback that it didn't really help at all. My final conclusion: Stick with what I know works and that is this website!!! Thanks for Everyone's Input, Alison

  • I was in the exact same boat as you! The three biggest things I found helpful were as follows: 1. Make small goals for yourself. Myself I make daily goals. That makes the whole thing a little less intimidating 2. Use the site "friends". I have found the friends I have on this site so helpful. It is nice to have people out…
    in Falling off track Comment by Alsison August 2011
  • I am 5'3" and hovering around the 170 pound mark. My goal weight is 140 but at this point I prefer to take it 10 pounds at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. The best bet is to make small goals and adjust them as you go along depending on how you feel. Weight is just a number and it can back fire if you focus to much on…
