I binged today, what do I do? Just kidding!
Though I really did binge today, I learned something wonderful about myself in the process : ) I've been involved in my healthier lifestyle for about 2 months now. I was always an emotional eater...loved food and would make any excuse to eat, was always starving, and never passed up the opportunity to indulge in the worst…

Fitbit vs. hrm
I decided to use both of these today while I was exercising to see what the difference was in calculations between the two of them. My hrm had me at an average heart rate of 149 for an hour and 20 minutes, while the fitbit clocked me at 78 minutes, 5.2 miles. I don't know how effective calculating calories by your heart…

Not sure what's happening BUT>>>
Well, I had quite a big loss, and have been at the dreaded plateau for about three weeks. I am diabetic, and one of those people who are always hungry, LOL. But this is a little different. Although i'm not loving the way I look, I am loving the fact that I am more fit now than I have ever been. I love the fact that I work…

Just really feeling good today!!
I woke up and found I am within a pound of the goal weight I set for 4-1-10. I am excited and proud, and there are quite a range of emotions going on today. I am 5 pounds away from what I weighed in high school- 9th grade to be exact. I always thought I was fat, and would stay fat. I always assumed I would be the butt of…

"Almost" Overweight
HAHAHAHA!! I am .9 away from being overweight! Should I be so excited? Overweight sounds so much better than that other word-OBESE. You know, i'd rather have somebody call me fat all day, obese makes me feel horrible about myself. But so does carrying around all this extra weight. Every time the doctor frowns and says,…

I wonder where the extra willpower came from : )
So I started the day believing I was going to the gym, and ended up surprising my kids and taking them out for the day. We did some walking around the outlet malls and really didn't have any kind of solid plan, so instead of eating really late we decided it would be easier to eat out. For me, it's usually the wrong answer.…

Diabetes?
I am 35 and was diagnosed with type 2 about 5 years ago. I haven't always done the best at taking care of myself, but I have decided to really get it together because i've had some close calls. Diet is my main problem! I stopped eating dairy products at the first of the year and found out they were the cause of my…

What am i doing WRONG?
I started my new way of life here in the beginning of March. I dropped about 15 pounds in 3 weeks, then zip. I dropped my calorie intake to 1200 and started working out every day for an hour to an hour and a half. I have gone nowhere for the last 3 or 4 weeks, and even though i'm not giving up, I just don't get it. I am…

How can you burn so many calories?
I go to the gym 6 days a week for about 60-90 minutes a day. Granted, I have been going for about 5 weeks now, but I do about 35-40 minutes on the elliptical, gets the heart rate up to about 150-160 for at least 25 minutes and then I walk on the treadmill for about 20-30 minutes at 3.5 miles per hour. According to the…

My birthday is coming, how do I not overdo it?
My family is a bunch of food junkies. :frown: Thats how we celebrate, grieve, whatever. So, of course the big thing is going out for dinner. I have to tell you that since i'm always so hungry it makes it hard for me to even look at a restaurant...I haven't been out to eat since I decided to go through with this change on…

Hi there!

I found my way here a couple of days ago under the advice of my doctor...I found out I was diabetic a few years ago but found out I had some major complications this week and after a tough ultimatum I have to really get on top of things. I've browsed the site and everybody seems so genuine and kind, here's…
