Social Tea Cookies
So, I work in a tutoring center 4 days a week. I am the receptionist. I have a bunch of work to do all day to keep me busy but around 5 o'clock, work starts to die down. But, there are tutors who stay until 7 pm. We have these boxes of social tea cookies for the kids that are in the office next to me. I can't help myself…

Finding my Motivation
Hey, I just wanted to see if anyone could "inspire" me or help me regain the motivation I had just over a month ago. I just graduated from a 3 and a half year undergrad. I have been in school since September 2008 non-stop, going all through the summer full-time until just about 2 weeks ago. It is a great feeling to finally…

Stuck?
I am 5'2" and I currently weigh 120 lbs. I know 120 is not a lot, but for someone my height, it isn't low. My friend weighs 112 and she is 5'3". I am not complaining, I am in the best shape of my life. I am just wondering, because I was hovering around 115 before, yet, my clothes fit better now. I fit into a size 1 whereas…

half-marathon
Has anyone here done a half-marathon (21k)? I injured my knee about 8 weeks ago and have just started running again this week. I am really surprised that I have not lost my cardio since I stopped for two months. I can run my 5k a day, no problem but my knee isn't 100% yet. There is a half-marathon in 5 weeks that I am…

Not exercising
Does anyone find it difficult to not go over your calorie count if you haven't been exercising? I hurt my knee 2 weeks ago and it's hard for me to rest it enough for it to heal so I haven't been able to exercise. I have been trying extra hard to keep my calorie count low to make sure I don't start gaining weight again but…

Injured Knee
Help! I injured my knee 2 weeks ago on a long bike ride. I am not sure why it hurts, I didnt fall or anything, but I cannot run or bike or do anything with my lower body for exercise. I can do upper body workouts but I can't even row because the bending of the knee hurts. I know I just need rest but I am getting depressed…

The Scale
Today I weighed myself. Last week I weighed about 118. This week the scale read 116.something. Is this accurate!? I always wonder if it's just a "fluke" or whether this my actual weight. Should I wait until I've weighed 116 a few days in a row before changing my weight again?

Temptation!

The rest of the week I do soooo well with eating and exercise but when I go to work, there are organic, awesome chocolate bars, candy, tons of fruit, etc. I am surrounded by really great and healthy food and I have sooo much trouble not eating it. Any tips on how to get through…

Stop dieting.
I work in a health food store and everyday I get people who come in asking questions about how to cheat being healthy. You cannot cheat health. You can't get healthy without being healthy. Eating vegetables, fruit, fiber, less sugar, less bad fats and more good fats, drinking enough water and avoiding alcohol and getting…

Hello
Hi, I am kind of new, joined about a week ago. My aim isn't really to lose weight, maybe a couple pounds, but I am at a very healthy weight and I think I look good. I just want to monitor my calorie intake and it helps me stay on track.
