Gaining like last time :(
I remember when I first started gaining weight. I was skipping meals all day and then coming home and eating until I felt sick. I would regret it, but somehow it turned into a pattern. Sadly, I have done that again for about the past month or two :( . Thankfully it hasn't been like that every single day, but it's been…

Ladies only: menstrual cramp remedies
I have suffered from menstrual cramps since I was ten years old. (Yes, ten.) Mine aren't the regular "I have some slight discomfort so I'll take a midol" kind. They are so severe that the pain makes me shake and vomit. The only remedy that works for me is birth control. However, I hate being tied to a pill. I like to be…

Exercise STILL a chore to me
I've been losing weight steadily for 3 years. I am happy to say I've lost 40 pounds and changed my eating habits entirely. However, I still hate exercise. The only thing I have really enjoyed is a Zumba class, but it's clear on the other side of town and I don't have a car. It's too long on the bus and the friend I was…

I'm upset...Small gain, but it's a big deal to me.
I just need a place to vent. I have been busting my *kitten* for 3 months to lose those last 3 pounds towards my first goal weight. When I finally reached it, I was ecstatic! But now, it's been a few weeks and I'll admit, I've been a little lazy. I haven't been working out as much as I should, but it's not like I…

Mon April 1st: perfect day to restart! I like friends :)
Hello All, My name is Courtney. I have been on MFP for a while, but I just got back into it again a few weeks ago. I primarily used it on my smart phone to count calories. I still do that, using an Ipod now :) . A lot of my friends were just friends and family who barely post. THEN, a few weeks ago I was browsing online…

Motion Sickness from Workout DVDs
I am doing a beach body challenge with Shakeology and Turbo Fire. I think that the Turbo Fire DVDs are giving me motion sickness. I was fine when I started, but about ten minutes in I started to get a huge head ache and stomach ache. It feels the same as when I try to read in the car and I feel sick. I think it might be…

So NOT a runner...
I have never been much into running. Every time I start I just feel awful. I can't breathe and I get side cramps really badly. I do other cardio just fine. I love Zumba, I like to walk, and the elliptial is fine (although not my favorite). I've even done a boot camp-type class where we did sprints and I was okay with that…

Starting Turbo Fire/Shakeology tomorrow
Tomorrow I am starting a Beach Body Challenge: Turbo Fire and Shakeology. I have been hearing good things from people I know, so I hope it works for me :) Backstory: In December of 2011 I weighed 180lbs. I am happily down to 154 today. My original goal was to reach 145 by my birthday (Friday, March 8th). I didn't quite…
