A shift in my reason to be here...
I started MFP in November for the same reason as most....to lose weight. In mid December I woke up one morning covered in hives. They got worse, and worse. From my scalp to my toes. I lived with it for a few weeks thinking it was something external but after a while I knew it had to be something else. Went to the doctor…

Your outfit(s) today
I always find it hard to get dressed when I'm losing weight. Right now all my dress pants are either too big or too small. I have 1 pair of pants that fit. But I refuse to buy new pants right now because in about 5 lbs i'll be able to fit into the ones that are a bit tight right now. I work in an office that is regular…

No Dairy/Wheat/eggs/citrus... HELP

My question is...wtf do i eat now. lol So i'm still good for chicken, veggies, some fruit, rice, beans. (I don't eat red meat) My main concern…

Cardio NSV
Huge non-scale victory at the gym today! Was going to do intervals on the treadmill but once I started running, I DIDN'T WANT TO STOP! So I ran for 15 minutes without stopping, this is huge for me! It means all the work I've been doing is working. I wasn't even out of breath after! I seriously feel like shouting from the…

Maybe it's mean of me...
... But if someone adds me randomly as a friend I always accept, but then if I see that they have a 600 cal daily goal which they are eating under by a few hundred everyday I delete them. I guess I'm trying to surround myself with healthy positive people who I can relate too? I know that I may not know the whole story, but…

A new reason to get healthy...
So tonight I was given a new reason (unfortunately) to get my body healthy. My dad has one sister, she had cancer but is currently in remission. His mother died of cancer. My mother had two brothers, both have died from cancer, her father died from cancer and now her last sibling, my aunt, was just told she has cancer.…

Exercise is making my feet ugly
So we all exercise to feel better, look better, get healthier, yadda yadda yadda... Does exercising make any part of YOU worse? My feet are hideous now lol Calluses, a few blisters now and then (usually if i wear the wrong socks). I have bad knees, if I push myself too hard (like last night) they feel AWFUL the next day.…

Get your hand off my plate!!!
I find I get very territorial after I've counted all the calories on my plate lol My husband will reach to pick something off my plate and I get very selfish "get your damn hand off my plate! I counted that!" Anybody else start eating their meals like they're in prison?

Any Grouse Grind-ers out there?
One of my goals is to be able to do the Grouse Grind in 1.5hrs. I was just wondering if there were any B.C. people out there that have had success stories involving The Grind? I've done it 3 times now. Twice in the summer of 2010 (both times I finished in just over 2hrs) and once this past summer (with my 60 year old…

Samosas
For the last 2 weeks members at my work ( I work at a Credit Union) have been bringing us chocolates and cookies. Fair enough. I have a few, get it out of my system, then I kinda get "meh" about them and can avoid them. But today a member brought us samosas. Still hot, right out of the fryer, Oh..... MY..... GOODNESS! The…

I'm effing Allergic to Christmas!
So since starting Sunday afternoon my skin is on fire, SO ITCHY IT HURTS. But if I itch, I get these swollen hive-like bumps. I feel like I might go insane. I took some Reactine and hope it helps. The only thing I can think of that I'm allergic to is Christmas... So i'm just letting all of you know... Christmas is…

Do you look like your siblings?
I often look at my sister (she's 3 years older) and think "How the heck did we come from the same parents!" (I mean, I'm assuming, we've often accused my mom of making it with the imaginary milk man as my sister and I don't look like and also don't look like my parents) She is 5'10", I'm 5'7" She has DDD's, I have A's She…

Work Xmas Party Tomorrow Evening
And apparently I'll be attending my xmas party in sweats because I cannot find a damn thing to wear!!!!! I went to 6 different stores on Monday and one store this morning before work, cannot find anything. Is it inappropriate to go in yoga pants and a sweater? ;)

Hello 170's
Hello 170's, nice to see you again. I know when I visited last summer I stayed for a few months and then headed back up north, but this time I'm packing up and heading south. I hope we can enjoy the time we spend together but I don't want you to get too attached, I have eyes for another. Their name is 150's and ever since…

Do you choose food based on...
Just the amount of calories you have left in the day or do you look at your nutritional breakdown and what you are lacking for the day? This is the first day I've come close to may daily fat goal, I'm usually way under. I added some avacado to my dinner. I was mainly paying attention to calories before but I'm going to…

Went over my goal by 299 calories
But tomorrow is a new day, with new opportunities. Plus it was totally worth it for diner food. :)

Mine was one of those oversized night shirts with cartoon cats all over…

Chinese food I hate you...
Husband really wanted chinese food really bad for dinner last night. I am not a huge fan as it always makes me feel sick but about every 6 months we will order it and I forget. Then i eat it and feel awful. It fit into my calories for the day but man I regretted it instantly. What foods do you regret eating right after you…
