What if I'm not ready again tomorrow?
A couple of days ago I went through a burn out. I took a day off and attempted to remain in range. I did ok. Then I woke up today and some obstacles and depression got in the way and I basically just gave myself the day off from life. My plan was to resume again tomorrow. Now that I'm about to hit the bed I'm afraid I'll…

Runner Woes
Sigh, I have been at this for 6 months and 86 pounds lost (mind you I only decided 3 months ago that I wanted to pursue my dream of being a runner--inspired by the commercial they created in the movie What Women Want--seriously that was an amazing fake commercial and it got me inspired a long time ago) and still I can only…

Whatsssss up! Oh, and fitbit will be mentioned!
Looking to add more MFP pals who log in daily for extra motivation and support! I have amazing friends now but I would love some new ones who have a fitbit! Of course, if you don't you can still add me. Just received my fitbit charge HR and am loving it but want some more interaction. I started my journey in the middle of…

What's for lunch?
Lunch is on my mind! I'm already starting the process of thinking about what we have on hand and what delicious thing I can make. Although, I should probably make over some of these leftovers. I'm pretty limited because our fresh produce is low. Really need to hit up the grocery store. So what about you all? What…

When depression strikes
Well its finally here. That first make it or break it point. The first real hurdle. I hoped I had beat depression for good this time but it seems it has reared it's ugly head. I don't want to stop. I want to keep going. That darn voice that says you will fail and you can't do it is talking again. All I know how to do is…

Facebook vs MFP
Who else loves this app/site more than Facebook?! I find the overwhelming positivity infectious. Everyone (at least in my friends list) is friendly, helpful and motivating. And everyone has goals

belly fat
I have a lot of belly fat to lose. I've lost 41 lbs thus far and I feel like it's time to take this to a new level. I need to concentrate on food. I know what you eat can improve your fitness and weight loss goals. Does anyone know what diet is the best when concentrating on losing belly fat? Or trying to lose over a 100…

knees
So, let's just say I let myself get overweight to a point it started affecting my joints... At 27. I don't think I have arthritis and I'm sure it can be reversed by weight loss, but did anyone have knee troubles because of weight? Did it get better? I can't stand lunges because of the awkward feeling it puts in my knees.…

breakfast....
I see a lot of these up here but I'm tired of oatmeal and I have a question about eggs? About how many eggs is safe to consume in a week? The research varies. I saw one site say about 1 egg a day is ok. What are your thoughts? Also, what in the world is there to eat (and filing and long lasting?) for breakfast besides eggs…

stress relief to keep the momentum going
What are some stress relief things that you all do? I've been doing yoga for a good stretch but after leaving the class I felt so calm and it was beautiful. I want that feeling but I can't always make it to class on time with two kids in tow. Drinking is fun but it's calories I would have to reserve and again I have kids,…

calf muscle issues
So my calves have always been tight. Since early childhood I have suffered with cramps in my calves waking me up in the middle of the night. When I start to run/fast walk (I'm only doing short bursts at the moment aiming to be able to run longer) I notice my calves force me to slow down because they're so tight. They're…

Encouragement
Hi, I've done this before and I'm trying again. So far I've been successful this time. I started this journey over again about a month ago. I'm looking to improve my life for me this time. I'm a Mom of two beautiful wonderful children. Feeling burnt out right now. I'd love some friends who have gone through major weight…
