My diary is always open. My husband and I are working on eating somewhat clean this month and see how it goes so not much chocolate or pizza for now, but usually there is a healthy mix of good for me foods and good foods in general.

I know I'm more type A, but I have been type B personally with a few like one girl who asked for my help in keeping her on track with recovering from her eating disorder...and her friend's all called me a b*tch for it. I would rather have type B friends, but honestly, if I'm getting SOME sort of support or motivation, I'm…

I tried a juice cleanse and I was so hungry all the time and crabby and felt sick. I know people who have had luck with 3 day cleanses and sometimes longer, but it isn't sustainable weight loss and be prepared to feel like poo.

If your HRM has a chest band (or even if it doesn't) it will be WAYY more accurate than the Wii. I know when I got my HRM, I noticed I burned a lot more calories than MFP or the gym machines told me. I think it is because of how high my heart rate gets when I work out...though I am worried that I'm burning lean muscle…

The label says made with roasted peanuts sugar and salt. I use it daily and love it!

I will fourth this. Though if I need lower cal and especially if I'm cooking and not just eating it's I go for PB2. It doesn't hit the spot with an apple but it is perfect for making pancakes or skinny pies with.

I love my food scale! I was overestimating on things like peanut butter and underestimating on chicken...plus mfp has most "medium" apples as 80 calories....well my "medium" apples are 195-220 grams which is like 30-40 calories. same with bananas. It is just good to know my calorie count is closer to my target now.

I definitely eat what I want, just in moderation. I have a long way to go but normally I'd have quit by now when I limited what I could eat.

I am just getting into the prepping more and freezing thing myself. I bought tupperware to freeze for my husband's lunches and he can throw it in the fridge the night before, thaw, and reheat in the one container. Normally I'd just try to make leftovers and eat that myself for lunch the next day, but now that my husband is…

Hi Paige! I have about 40 lbs to lose and just restarted C25K. I completed it last summer, but had a sinus infection and pneumonia in the fall and now my lungs are way out of shape. I start week 2 tomorrow. If you'd like to be friends, feel free to add me :) I can't text normally, but if you have some sort of…

I wouldn't say that I'm eating "clean" but my husband and I decided to cut out as much processed food as we can for April and see how we feel at the end. He's tired a lot but 80% of what he was eating was processed and the other 20% I cooked. He still eats bread and lunch meat as we can't get a chicken or turkey or pork…

I wish I could get my dog to run....she does NOT want to learn anything new and if she isn't pulling, she's sniffing. I try to keep her on one side (usually my left) but she keeps running all around me or right in front of me and then I step on her and she cries out and oh man it is a pain. I'm too busy focusing on her so…

Doesn't matter, work out :P

My Dad's side is Southern Baptist, converted from Judaism (so I have the very Jewish last name) and my mom's side is Catholic or Christian, but only my great-gramma goes to Church. Me, I'm spiritual. I don't agree with organized religion due to the amount of hypocrisy and using it to hide behind pushing your beliefs onto…

Woo! Glad to see this up again! My goal this month is 60 miles. Started off right today... 4/2: 3.82 miles

3/30: .5 miles (was more, but forgot to turn on my GPS so only logging what I know for sure) 3/31: 4 miles Despite slacking much of the month, I've come in just over my goal of 50 miles! Definitely proud because I've never completed a challenge I've set for myself before. Next month I'm going to go for 60 and not slack for…

I'm getting a tattoo of 3 hearts...like the old school life meter from Legend of Zelda on my inner upper arm but I want to get rid of some of the jiggly fat there first. Also, when I hit my goal weight, I'm getting a bird on my collar bone area.

You sound exactly like how my husband is now. The frozen veggies is something we are going to try. He really only likes green beans, corn, and carrots, but if I mix in peppers or zucchini he'll eat it. He says he's always hungry but I know a lot of it is because he eats very little nutritional food besides dinner when I…

I will eat anything but fish as I'm allergic...cooking it for him isn't an option as the smell makes me sick and if I get it on my skin I break out in a rash. He did however tell me that he will eat anything I put in front of him so that is my plan.

I'm envious you've been able to lose that much! My weight slows down drastically after losing 5 lbs. I have 50 to lose in total and am only 15 down and it looks like I won't have lost anything for the entire month...in fact, my measurements are the same and my weight is up 3 pounds from the first, despite busting my…

OH MYYYYY! I can see some small dogs as being more likely to bite. Of course, I've never been bitten by a dog...I just feel like it should be common sense not to pet a strange dog...or to ask permission of the owner first. People come up and pet my dog all the time and yeah, she's friendly but they don't even take…

Insurance companies probably won't cover Dachshunds because almost all of them have back issues and hip displaysia as they age. I doubt it has anything to do with their aggression...I think the most aggressive thing I've seen a Dachshund do is tear up a pillow.

My goal is to raise pits and rotties. People like to punish the dog for what the humans did. Dogs are animals that live on instinct, just as many other animals in nature are. If a man walks up to a lion and the lion mauls him who do you blame, the man or the lion? Kind of like I read a story recently of a homeless man that…

3/29: 3.65 miles Soooo close! Two more days to get er done!

Knew after 2 months of dating, but got married after a year and a half. We had a short engagement though due to him joining the military.

Since I've started MFP, I've lost and gained the same 20ish pounds twice. My first time, I lost 23 and plateaued for 3 months before I went on vacation and then just never stopped eating like I was on vacation. I gained back all the weight over the course of 11 months. Then last summer I started again and lost 20 lbs…

I think it just takes time for your brain to catch up with your body. When I was recovering from my ED, I left myself post its reminding myself that I was beautiful EVERYWHERE. There were on my mirror and pillows and hidden in books. I found when when I moved recently and it still cheered me up. Of course, now I have the…

I think I'm more affronted by his hideous pedo-stache than the tight pants...but the one definitely isn't helping the other.

Teen Mom 16 and Pregnant Buckwild ....most MTV shows really I watch Secret Life of the American Teenager, but I don't know why. The drama aspect is good, but how the characters talk to each other and interact is really fake and forced. Like, who tells their guidance counselor all cavalier in the hallway that they helped…

That is how my cat always sleeps on his round tree too!
