To be healthy again by my 40th in February!
As I approach 1,000 days of logging on MFP, I only wish I would have been true each day! After my young Fathers death last October, stress of 3 jobs I put 30+ pounds back on. I am a stress eater and wow did it come back on! Went to Punta Cana a couple weeks ago and was embarrassed I was at my heaviest beach weight. I came…

Avg. length to start losing again after adding more calories
I am one of those ones who was eating 1000-1100 calories a day. Of those calories it was clean eating. I stopped losing weight so I thought I would try to add more calories to get out of this "starvation mode" that maybe I was in. So yesterday I ate 1500 calories (all healthy except the chocolate chip cookie I had for my…

Night workouts and protein after
I am not able to work out in the mornings so all of my workouts happen in the evening. Trainer says to make sure I have some protein after my workouts and I usually will have a protein bar or shake (only processed type foods I eat). With that being said I thought I read it is best not to eat 3-4 hours before you go to bed.…

Anyone losing for an upcoming vacation?
I leave for my annual trip Jamaica in 67 days 19 hrs 44 mins (not that I am counting, lol). Anyone else using a vacation as a motivational goal to lose the weight? My profile pic is from a couple of years ago. I am about 16 pounds from being back to that. Doubt I can lose 16 in 67 days, but I hope to get back to that.
