Okay, so I'm skinny fat....
well not skinny, but almost at goal weight. I'm currently 140 pounds, down 35 pounds...here's the issue. I signed up for a community wellness program and I had to get a lot of tests...everything was great, my HDL cholesterol was a little low, but everything else was good. My 41 year old body was given a body age rating of…

Here's an idea, if you don't like what they post...
just don't answer them...like if they say "I'm going to do HCG" and you don't like that, shut the thread and move on...if they say "I'm going to eat high carb/ low carb" "I'm gonna cut off a limb" ...whatever if you don't agree or have something supportive to say just shut your PIEHOLE!

Tell me when to switch levels...
This may be a stupid question, but unless I' missing it, there is no suggestion as to when to go from level 1 to 2 to 3...II understood it to say "when you're ready" (I'm not really a tough chick, so I'm afraid I might not push myself hard enough :blushing: ) I'm just starting level 1, day 1 tomorrow, so I'm sure it won't…

(Mostly) Clean Eaters confess, What's your dirty little secr
secret? I often see posts from people who say they eat clean most of the time (or 80-90% of the time or whatever). I am in that boat also. I was wondering what is the "dirty" food that you love? and how often do you indulge? For me it's Crystal Light (specifically Metabolism Green Tea Peach Mango), and I have one packet…

Cyclists I have a question...
I bought my hubby a helmet, so I would have something to give him for Valentine's Day, but his real gift is going to be a bicycle. I want him to pick one out. He'll be a newbie and we have no ideas about what he needs. He has real problems with shin splints and running is getting very painful. He loves nature and would…

Starting Tomorrow
I've been running some since last summer, I've done 2 5ks and a 4 Mile Turkey Trot and I'm signed up for another 5k in March. I walk A LOT more than I run, but I was proud to just finish. I wanna go faster and am really trying to build endurance. Doing it on my own hasn't been easy and I'm getting really frustrated with my…

Reflection on the Journey so far...
A thought occurred to me last night...I'm nearing the end of my weight loss journey (I have about 10 pounds I'd like to lose, but will be okay if I just lose .4 more...reaching my Weight Watchers goal)...I've been here before, but I'm different this time. I have REALLY changed the way I think about food. In the past I've…

No Pictures yet, but...
I started my journey 9 months ago and have lost 30.6 pounds, 19.5 inches (5.5 from my hips, 5 from my waist, 4 from my chest, .5 from each arm and 2 from each thigh) and went from a tight size 12 or 14 to a very comfortable 8 (and sometimes 6). I hope to lose 10 more pounds! Thanks MFP!!!!

BUMMED
I weighed in and I've gained 2 pounds since last week. I admit I wasn't as active as I should have been and I overindulged on Sunday at a family gathering, but I was in deficit 4 days out of 7 (I didn't feel good and didn't eat much). I know I need to eat all my calories most of the time, but I would have thought that just…

Any pescetarians here?
I am thinking seriously about switching to a diet of fish, shellfish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains and beans, and also eggs and dairy. I'm not a big fan of beef, pork or poultry, so i think it would be easy for me to follow, except that my family eats all those things and I don't want to cook two dinners. I'm thinking I…

New to MFP, not new to WW
I just joined MFP, but have been back on WW for 7 months. I've been through TurnAround, Momentum and now Points Plus. I earned my Lifetime back in 2007, but stopped meetings and following the plan and gained it all back. I've lost 26.4 since May 1st and have just 4.6 left to go until I meet my WW goal. I'd really like to…

New to MFP
Hey, I'm new to MFP today! I've been on Weight Watchers for 7 months and have lost 26.4 pounds. I have a few more to go and feel like I hit a wall in the motivation department. I grew up being told, by everyone, that I was not athletic, so I believed it. I never tried to do anything active and so it doesn't come naturally…
