I'm Drowning and I'm Afraid...
I have been at this for a long time. Far longer than I would ever care to admit. I'm practically an expert on all things weight loss. I know exactly what to do to be healthy, but I constantly find myself drowning in the comfort of my own misery. Every now and then I get a taste of what life is like inside the "boat" -…

Looking for a Probiotic
I'm in need of a good probiotic. I'm on amoxicillin and it's giving me all sorts of digestive problems on top of the ones I already have. I can't do 4 more days of this. Can anyone suggest a good probiotic to help soothe my problems? Thank you!

Dealing with Depression
I've been dealing with some pretty strong bouts of depression this past week. Monday was the worst, I couldn't even muster the strength to wash the dishes. It's never been that bad before. I started doing some research and some studies suggest that increased consumption of preprocessed foods, especially sugars can cause…

10 Pounds
The other day I hit my first two goals. One, to get out of the 240s. Two, to lose 10 pounds.

Here's what those 10 pounds, my…

Struggling With Self Sabotage
Does anyone else struggle with this? It's like a war inside me. I want to binge but nothing looks good. Then I don't care and if the food was present, I probably would have eaten as much as I wanted. Most of the time I'm over all the junk food because it's just gross to me. Yet, my mind and my body still crave those…

107 Pounds to Lose
I'm no stranger to MFP. I've tried this so many times that I'm probably a serial starter. This time I'm determined to be a finisher. Things are different now... I've reached a point in my life where I'm tired of being unhealthy. I'm tired of being tired and depressed all the time. I'm tired of feeling sick every morning…

Need Ideas for Lunch and Snack Options
Hey ya'll...I need some healthy options for lunch and snacks. Dinner I'm generally pretty good at but I struggle with packing a good lunch for work and snacks as well. I'm a huge fan of fruit but not so much veggies. Any suggestions you have would be very welcome! Only know I won't eat anything with artificial sweeteners…
