Body Image Therapy?? Thoughts?
I am looking into finding a therapist who specializes in body image issues and I thought maybe I could find some advice/experience here on MFP. I am living my life (probably more accurate to say "not living my life") driven by how I feel about my body. Needless to say, my thoughts are rarely good. Basically, I am beyond…

I am at that point where I know myself well enough to know That i am starting to give up on this. Every other diet and exercise program I have started has ended this way..kind of a slow steady lapse in judgement or exception in eating or a multitude of excuses to put my program on hold...cold, vacation, business trip..etc.…

Anyone have an elliptical they absolutely love or absolutely hate? I have done some research but always trust personal experience over general consumer reviews. I am looking for something that is sturdy and effective and it doesn't have to have 100K bells and whistles. Thanks!:drinker:

Anyone had success with Medifast??
: It has been only four days that I have been completely committed to watching and regulating what I am eating and is seems like I am GAINING rather than losing! I am so frustrated and just need to vent. I know that I need to be patient and stick to this. If I were exercising like a fiend then I could understand added…

Diet Direct...Any experiences with it?
So I have been trying to find a place (aside from a physicians office) that I can order more of the shake/pudding mixes that I enjoy. They are called NutriMed 420.

Scales-----Digital or not??
I need a new scale and would much rather chose one based on the wisdom of MFP members. The scale we have at home seems to fluctuate wildly (3 or 4 lbs) in both directions and I know it isn't because of me. It does the same thing to my husband. The scale at my doctor's office is one of those traditional med office kind…

Breaking the scale @ the doctor's office..with a hammer!
Had to have a biopsy on a uterine polyp (sorry, probably tmi) and of course needed to be weighed before the procedure. Not only did the tech yell out my weight, which always horrifies me, but she announced "wow, you've gained three lbs since you were here in early August"! Complete mortification and incredibily bummed out…

Indian Food ??
My entire network of home support (read:my husband and child) have decided that they would like to have Indian food for dinner this evening. I haven't even begun to research whether or not there is anything on a traditional Indian menu that I might be able to eat. I love Indian food and am confident that it is one of the…

How can join a challenge team to help me out?
I keep seeing groups ( some of which are closed) of challenge / support . I feel as if I would do so much better if I was checking in directly with the same group (smaller than general posting). For me it is a different type of support level and a different set of expectations. Thanks for any advice and direction.

Social eating and drinking with husband and friends...
I am weak. My social life as an adult has been with a bunch of athletic sailors who race big yachts and drink lots of beer and rum and still manage to look and feel great. I am not that person. I am semi- athletic and can hold my own on the boat but when it comes to the regatta party or the crew party I just lose control.…

PEA soup...need some opinions.
So today I didn't pack my lunch for work and was subject to the very dangerous and tempting cafeteria in the office bldg I work in. I thought I would be making a good choice by selecting a cup of pea soup, no bread, no chips ...nothing else. The soup was not thick like some pea soups can be and it did not have more than a…

I'm an exercise-a-phobic!!
What is my problem?? Whenever I get my rear in gear and put on my workout clothes or get on a bike or take a walk I ALWAYS feel great afterwards. All of the benefits of exercising apply to me when I do it. I sleep well, I think clearly I am a nicer person to be around. All of this is true, yet I will do almost ANYTHING to…
