NSV - Had to edit my "inspirations"!
So you know how in your profile you have those 5 slots for "inspirations" as to why you want to lose weight or whatever? Well I used to have "Be able to actually *run* with Maverick" as one of mine.

Do you ever get over that "guilty" feeling?
Disclaimer: I had sooo much trouble deciding whether to put this in motivation/support or diet/fitness... I've decided from the very beginning that I wasn't "dieting", I was making a "lifestyle change". Especially because I haven't had *that* much to lose.

Trying to Counter-Act Frustration with Positive Thoughts
It's getting harder and harder to lose weight for me. x_x When I first started working out in July I was only going to school for a light 2 days a week and I'd spend hours at the gym.

Can You Gain 4 lbs Over Night???
I got so upset today. I know I didn't behave myself yesterday... Ate 300 calories over my limit even with exercise added in. But still... I got on the scale this morning and it said I was 150.1 lbs???? The morning before yesterday it said I was at 145.8! I was so sure I would never be in the 150's again. What do I even…

Minor Hip Injury: To Excercise or To Rest?
Hey everyone! I don't usually post much, but I have a dilemma and I thought "hey - this is the kind of thing the message boards are For, right??" So exactly 2 weeks ago now I was doing a light jog with my small dog when I had a sharp sudden pain in my right hip (I'm left handed). It was so bad that I could barely walk…
