Bronchitis and Working Out
So I've had this stupid Bronchitis for over a week now and I haven't been working out or doing much but working and sleeping lately. My doctor told me to be careful and take it easy and back off on my exercising until I get better. But I'm panicking thinking about what if I gain weight?! So tonight I did my Biggest Loser…

Losing Weight While Pregnant?
Is it possible? I lost so much weight over the last two years I finally made it to 169 and then I got pregnant. I'm 191 at 7 weeks, (weight gained happened because I went from half a pack a day down to 3 cigs a day) I'm having such an issue accepting the fact I've gained back a bunch of weight. I want to exercise and see…

Raw Food Challenge
Im going to try to be a little more faithful to this thread. I decided to get my sugars down and I want to start a raw food week or two or just see how far I could get. If you dont know what raw food is its pretty much sticking to only "real" food not processed not cooked. Its healthier for you and my doctor is all for it.…

Grr and a question
Today for some reason I have felt like I am starving. I am eating healthy foods but I think my smoothies are kicking in again after not having them for a while. I know they are kick starting my metabolism because every time I start drinking them again after a long time I start eating everything in site, which is nice…

PROGRESS!! YAY
Well I am now down 22 pounds! I'm so excited about it. I've worked like a dog. A lot of my friends that are overweight keep saying oh "you look good I'm so jealous its not fair". But whats not fair is them not realizing I work like a DOG to get where I'm at. I finally finally finally broke the 200lb barrier. I am now 197,…

Cravings
Since drinking my green smoothies and making some lifestyle changes I realized something tonight...Im CRAVING greens! I was drooling over a salad so bad tonight I gave in and bought it. Normally I'm like that over chocolate, not salads. Also, I went crazy until I was able to buy more spinach! Better to gave a "green" tooth…

Green Smoothies
I don't do the "green smoothie" diet but I DO add them to my diet when I have the money to buy the greens (I like to use organic spinach that I can get at my work for $5 a pound which lasts me almost a week and a half.) I was wondering if any one else out there uses these as well? I use them to make sure I'm getting the…

(our $200 for the month is already gone so its back to living…

Need To Change my Way of Thinking
I realize today that for some reason I've seen food as "scary" lately. With all the working out I am doing (take a peek at how much I've exercised this last week) I manage to eat the 1490 calories FP tells me I should eat but sometimes I go over and I feel cruddy about it. BUUT on the downside the last two days I've been…

Thrilled!!
I lost another 9lbs in the last three weeks and I am so thrilled. When I break the 200lb mark I am going to be so happy. After I had my first child (whom I lost to an allergic reaction to his shots) my weight dropped down to 166 easily. This time it has been 7 months and nothing! Then I started going c25k and walking. I've…

c25k?
Anyone else doing this? I'm starting week 2 today (hopefully, got my ingrown toenail fixed AGAIN but hopefully for good this time this morning). I don't know if I've lost weight yet because I don't own a scale (I get far too caught up in it so I don't have one.) But I've been walking on the days I don't run.

How?!
How is it I feel like I'm munching NON stop then I log everything in here and I come WAYYY short of my calorie needs? O.O I'm not trying to diet I'm trying to eat the right amount of calories while working out to make sure I utilize my workouts! I'm over weight yes but it's not like I'm so over weight I'm trying to starve…
