Any good protein drinks out there?
Hi I had been doing the Metabolic Research diet for the past 6 weeks and gave up because although I lost weight I can't take the lack of variety in the foods they want you to eat. I got a good start on my weight loss but I can't see it being a long term commitment. Anyway, I was really surprised that their fruit flavored…

I'm baaaaaaaaack
Hi All Two years ago I lost 40 lbs with the help of My Fitness Pal and its wonderful community and now I'm back. Last year my dad died and it really threw my world into a tizzy. I gained back 20lbs since last October (which I had kept off for over a year on my own!) but I think I'm finally back into the right frame of mind…

5K Tuesday's
Thought I'd tell you all about my new tradition (in its second week). Now that the Biggest Loser is back on and I love that show but find I feel 'guilty' sitting there watching these poor people get their *kitten* handed to them so I now get on my treadmill and pound out a 5K! Last week took me nearly 53 minutes (wasn't…

Fat Clothes
This weekend I made it one of my chores to go through my 3 huge plastic tote's in our storage shed that holds all the clothes I shrank out of this year and have yet to get back into. They were a mess and I needed to organize them. I know there are differing schools of thought on keeping your fat clothes; my personal one is…

Mid year - mid way!
Its the last day of June and 6 months ago I started my weight loss journey. I have made it to the half way point in my weight loss- down 30 lbs!!! Some things I learned along the way: * I am a better parent and wife when I take the time to exercise * I can say no to food I know doesn't make me feel good and still have…

stalling out
Just wondering if anyone else out there experiences this: maybe its a "habit" or self sabotage but I've noticed that as I'm getting ready to move into a new "decade" on the scale that it takes a heck of a lot longer to make that transition then losing the previous 9 pounds. So far I've had this issue when I moved out of…

Officially "overweight"
Yeah, my BMI squeaked under 30 today. I'm no longer obese. It only took 27 lbs and 6 months. Another 6 months and I should be "healthy" I'm psyched!!

Going to try a Tri
My husband and I decided that we will do our local city's triathlon next summer. We both need to work on swimming and he needs to work on running as well. I can run 2 miles (the Tri is a 5k) and the biking is no issue -I'm worried about swimming. Has anyone done one of these? How did you mix up the training? Do you spend…

starting 2nd week
Hi All I'm on my second week and have lost 4 lbs - WOOT!!! I'm 44 and have had a weight problem since I was 10. I managed to get down to a healthy weight for some time in my late 20's/early 30's but then kids came and so did all the weight- and more! Now that they are older I've decided its time for me to take back my life…
