Thank you MFP!
A year ago today I went shoe shopping with my mom for new sneakers. I was winded trying to put on shoes and had to hold my breath to "reach" when I tightened and tied up the laces. It was this experience that was the final straw. At 250 pounds, I started on a new journey that was all about me. Even with a four month "off…

Emotional = Cravings
I'm trying so hard to get back on track with eating right. I keep eating all sorts of food today, although, most of it has been "healthy" choices. Dinner is 2.5 hours away (pre-logged). In the mean time, I'm fighting a killer craving for cheese fries... It's too easy to get in the car and go get my favorite (although…

Upper body workout at home?
Hello! I have injuried myself doing the 30DS. I have not yet been to a doctor because I'm hoping my knee will heal on it's own (all I envision are dollar signs $$$). Even walking is kind of painful.

Food suggestions for the rest of the day?
Can someone checkout my food diary and tell me just what it is that I'm supposed to eat to make up for the other 375 calories I have to eat today? I'm already over my sodium and protein. I guess I could just eat some bread?? I'm trying ~really~ hard to get to my net 1200 calories after getting "yelled" at a lot for…

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (Level 1, Day 1)
O. M. G. !! Was anyone ~really~ able to do this when they started? I never quit moving, but I really wanted to sit on the floor and cry because I'm so obviously so badly out of shape! And I don't even HAVE the weights yets. It was the cardio that tried to do me in (I just walked in place for a lot of that). She may have…

Simply Sensible Entrees
These are the Biggest Loser pre-packaged meals. Has any one tried them yet? And what's the verdict? I'd like to have something handy for night I just don't have time to cook; but I hate spending money on something that has no taste or isn't filling. Seeking your opinions. Thanks!

Ladies - Sports Bra Help
Tonight, I went shopping for a sports bra. I'm a woman of size and wear a 42D. I went to JC Penny. The gal measured me and came up with 44D (which is wrong, she didn't do it right). Then, JC Penny didn't even have a 42D sports bra. They did offer to order it for me, but I can do that myself; I wanted to try them on! I then…
