I'll give the graphing a try.
I've never done one to the level that the Doc was doing, but I can give it a try. Once we get enough data up, I'll give it a shot.

Report?
So, how did you all do? I knew it had been a rough month for me. But I ended up strong. so in the end, I brought my weight back down to where it was at the end of the last month.... which is not exactly what I wanted... but it does show that what I'm doing now is the right track. I would love to continue or to start…

This week's weigh-in
Well, I was overdue for a weight gain. I can't eat thousands of extra calories and not gain weight, and I know that. So, how to move forward? Do well today. Then start over tomorrow. Stay active, don't eat when not hungry. Just because it tastes good is the worst reason for eating something. Got to remember that one!

Introductions!
Hi, my name is Darin, and I would like to live a healthier lifestyle. I actually have a hard deadline on feeling better about myself - on 30-Jun-2012, I leave on a trip to a tropical paradise. Which means extended time getting photographed in a swim suit (it's for a family wedding, so the whole thing will be…

anyone here get stressed out over other people?
I have a brother who is bipolar and a significant other who is clinically depressed. I find that when things are going poorly for them, I take worse care of myself. Like tonight - SO was depressed, very much so, and I overate by thousands of calories. I have a therapist, and she says that other people's stress belongs to…

Non-Scale Victories (NSVs)!
Just a quick post to ask - what have your NSVs been during this challenge? I had two recent ones. 1) On vacation, I needed to catch up to my fiance and jogged to catch up with him. Jogged for at least 5 minutes straight, no rests, and didn't even get close to being out of breath! 2) On that same vacation, wore the same…

Dammit, Week 3.....
Okay, I was going to start Ripped in 30 today, and I was going to do awesome. I woke up too late to do the workout, but I did do the walk at work. I also did well with calories.... Until I had a couple of cocktails with dinner. Dammit! So take it from me - that after-dinner drink? May not be worth it if it takes away the…

What's your plan for Week 2?
Okay team, we had a first week. How are we going to kick this week's butt? I can tell you for one thing - it's NOT the 1/2 Tombstone pizza I just split with my fiance for dinner. I got my Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" DVD in the mail today (which should have inspired me to eat a little better tonight, but didn't), so I'm…

Depressive Eating
Hi - So, I'm clinically depressed. I tend to eat when unhappy. I usually rationalize with "Well, I deserve it." or "If my fiance is going to smoke, I'm just going to overeat." I"m better than I used to be - I used to be prone to ordering a pizza and eating half almost as soon as it came to the door, and I'd order 2…
