A good one my friend did for the water, was she ate fruit instead. Sure, it was still up there in calories, but it was better calories. Fresh fruit will ALWAYS be better than juice or sugary soda. She did that because she couldn't stand tea. I love tea. Though it has to be cold tea. I've lived in hot places for way too…

Carson: If you want another good green, Kale! Spinach is one of my favorites for salads; if you throw in a little bit of dried cranberries and glazed pecans… Heavenly. You can also throw in some peaches and a little bit of some feta cheese. (Or goat cheese--it’s like a slightly tangier cream cheese) Another favorite of…

When my mother passed away, it was a long time before I ran into a couple of her journals. One was a diary she wrote her prayers in, and the other was presumably blank. There was a quote or section of the bible at the top of every page, and before writing in it myself I decided to read them all. In the middle of the…

This is one of my favorites.

I know this isn't how everyone works, but there are some good ideas in this for those who are having issues with getting somewhere or just starting out!

Thankies! ^ ^ I hunted down the image that helped inspire me to create Ashes to Ashes!
-
AHA! So this is where you found me to add. You didn't put a message in the invite so I had no idea at first where you were coming from! Hiyaz! It's wonderful to meet you! Thank you for joining Ashes to Ashes! :D Feel free to post in some of our other threads or to make a couple new ones yourself!

This I can actually relate to, though it was back in high school. My family had been bouncing around trying to find stable ground after having been homeless for a year (when I was 10). Then, when I got into high school, I was at the 315lbs marker and someone introduced me to Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) and over the course…

Giving this a try. So, may I introduce you to my little Prince Frosty. He's my #1 nap coach and walk buddy. Don't let his puppy like appearance fool you! He turns 12 this August! When I feel my worst, he's my right hand man. He's at my side every moment when I'm home. He's my child. My little furry kid. He's my protection…

I'm happy that you joined us and that you added me as a friend. If you like, I can try and check up on ya every few days to make sure you're logging--speak up at you when you don't. :) Just let me know, and I will make it a habit. That's awesome! I totally know you can do it, too! Back in 2012, a friend of mine, KravMark,…

I would love to have some fellow geeky friends. I'm into quite a few things... Supernatural (is playing in the background as I type this; I like to rewatch shows and I already finished Doctor Who and Firefly again this month.) Doctor Who Firefly Game of Thrones The Walking Dead (A great many more shows both new and old)…

Originally, when I joined in 2011, my username was NonaSilverStar which is the name of a character for the book series I'm writing. I now go by AeiriMuse because Aeiri is the name I gave a species I've been working to create for years now for my series and I have adopted the nickname Muse because 1. too many people were…

Hiyaz! I'm Natalie Rae, but I go by Muse or Nona. I'm 4' 10 and in Louisiana! My superpower is listening skills and an incredibly kind and caring heart. I enjoy learning and my geeky and nerdy tends to dip a little into just about everything, but not solidly in any in particular except for being an author and artist.
-
It's so nice to meet you, too! Welcome to Ashes to Ashes! Have you considered participating in NaNoWriMo? (National Novel Writing Month) It takes place during November every year and it challenges you to get down 50,000 words in 30 days. I was having issues getting my stories down until I finally just jumped into it last…

My name is Natalie Rae, but I go by Muse or Nona as well. I just turned 26 on Star Wars Day! (May the fourth be with you!) I'm 4'10 in height. I first started on MFP back in 2010--but I didn't know enough about nutrition and how to exercise until I pushed myself to seriously pursue losing my weight in 2011, and I started…

Reading the comments you have thus far, the lot of them took many of the words I would say. Anyone can think up and want to make a change in their life, but it takes true courage and strength to take the steps to actually change. Welcome! I can relate to you on multiple levels, the only exception being the height to hide…

It is always a downer to lose a relationship around one of the most couple related holidays out there, but all in all, vent. Don't intake, out take. Write it out, or draw it out, scribble out the stress. When you get the chance, go walk. Walk, walk, walk. Get some fresh air. If you have a dog, they are your partner in…

Current: 166.6 lbs Lost since last week: I've actually gained in number NSV: Even though I went up on number I went down on size. Yay for muscle! Goal: Keep a level head. I'm closing in on the end of my cycle, next week is that week, and I'd like to not explode with emotional stress. Hoping to motivate myself to ware…

Due to the inevitable energy boost and the more than apparent size reduction, every lb should be treated as a victory. -ALWAYS- Stay strong and lose on! 1. 166.6lbs 2. .7 lost since last week 3. No NSV yet for this week 4. My goal is to get back on track with eating according to my diet and to exercise every exercise day.
-
I recently, last week, got back on the bandwagon myself. Back in July 2012 I was 191.2lbs! So I know how you feel! By that Christmas I made it down to 160lbs. My lowest this year was 145lbs, but then I ended up with two part time jobs and the weight piled right back on. I felt disheartened, stopped my diet and fitness plan…

I check it on occasion. More so now than I did before--yay unemployment! (I recently moved to a new state so finding something has been a tad challenging.) I've been on MFP for quite a while and I'm always up to getting new friends. Recently, I started a more active workout routine and I joined another site named…

This comes up more than you think. It's actually having to do with digestion while you rest. That and overnight you become slightly dehydrated. If you turn around, drink something and come back, you'll be a couple pounds higher. If you ever take the time to look in a mirror when you get up and use the restroom, you'll see…

I hit 30lbs lost officially on 11/20! Going to see how much more I can drop towards my goal by the time it is Christmas! ^ ^ 36.2 left to go until my ultimate weight loss goal!
-
I have 3.6lbs left to lose! :)
-
I have 9 weeks to lose 6lbs and have accomplished losing 30lbs by Christmas! I can do this! Let's rock!
-
I haven't been able to be on in several weeks. My new security job REALLY picked up when the semester started. However, I've managed to reach 20 lbs officially lost yesterday! 10 to go before Christmas! I think I can do it!
-
I joined last week sometime. I went down from 179.4 to 178.8 this morning. Getting there.

I believe this one could be "want to know"... though that could easily be "want to kill" as well. I say read the rest of the message and try to figure it out.
