What are the rewards if loss is no longer there?
A thought crossed my little brain... So if one's sole motivation is weight loss only then what will continue to be your motivation once that loss stops or plateaus and you are no longer rewarded? Do you continue to move foward just because or do you give up because the reward of loss is no longer there? Are the other…

Feeling like the road is too long and impossible.
I'm feeling a bit down today. I'm looking at how far I need to go and it just seems so impossible and unrealstic. Thinking about the 95% or more who gain back the weight, and it's getting me down. I was doing pretty good the last few days, but maybe it's this stupid cold I have or the fact I'm drugged up on cold medicine.…

Choices...
Just out of my curiosity because a similar post is floating around... You've been shopping all day, you are starving, your feet hurt, the kids are cranky and tired and you walk by the food court to get everyone some lunch and relax for a bit. Now you have to make a choice... Do you choose the food stand where you can get…

Why are there so many crabby pants on MFP?
I like to go to another site it's just devoted to perfumes and it's fun and light hearted. Noone tells someone that they are wrong because they like this perfume over another. It's just oh great that works for you and your individual skin chemistry. Why are the forums on MFP so hostile? It's just a weight…

More greek yogurt ideas
Saw that yummy recipe for greek yogurt chicken. Cant wait to make! Does anyone else have any ideas for greek yogurt that is more savory instead of sweet. I love it but I'm a bit bored of fruit and yogurt. Something that you could take to work would be great too.

Time to protect what is important
It's time to protect what we say is important and what we ultimately want from life I dont protect the goals that I say I want to achieve. I allow excuses and comfort to be more important than health and fitness and reaching my goals. Would you allow anyone else to take away your treasures, break into your bank account, or…

How to get started doing chin up.
I'm fortunate that I have this big bar thing out in my backyard. I'd need to get a stool to reach it all the way, but I see potential with that bar. I would love for the first time in my life EVER to do a chin up on that bar. However, I dont know how to even start in the first place. Do I just hang from the bar and keep…

Walking in snow & ice
I'm a desert girl that doesnt mind walking in the heat and sun w/ a bit of sun protection, but I'm in a place now that actually gets snow and ice! Yucko! My question is how do you even attempt to walk/jog in the snow and ice. I can't wear my tennis shoes anymore, and I hate having wet cold feet. I need to get my dogs…

Simple Hot Lunch Ideas
In the past, I was more successful when I kept my lunches simple. This was easy because I lived in Vegas and usually wanted cooler food like yogurt, cucumbers, salads, and sandwiches. I could make them fast, and eat within my calorie limit. I've recently moved, and its much colder here. I find it difficult to plan hot food…

One innocent Kiss and my whole day is ruined...
So I need some advice (would appreciate no sarcastic comments, but this is MFP so I'm sure there will be a few)... I am the worst when it comes saying No to offered food. Especially now that its the holiday and everyone wants to share their treats. I can usually not turn down offers and feel guilty. I mean I'm still the…

Eggs! Love Em' or Hate Em?
Compact, inexpensive, relatively low in calories, high in protein, and B vitamins. Easy to make and tastes delicious. OR... High in cholesterol, leads to heart disease, and cruel to chickens. Horrible tasting. ??????????????

Struggling Again
Why can't I win this battle? Seems one thing throws it all down the crapper and I'm back where I started. All I want to do now is be alone and binge and have my comforting non-judgemental food around. I can't stand myself. UGH! The joy of being a fat *kitten*.

What is the fire that keeps you going?
To the people who consider themselves succeeding... What kept/keeps you going when most usually have fallen away, quit and given up? What kept you pushing foward when the scale didnt budge, when you were totally off track and felt like an bottomless garbage can, when your world was falling apart and weight loss didnt seem…

Super fat vs. Super skinny...Is it still on in the UK?
Do they still run that program in the UK super fat vs. super skinny. I really enjoyed watching that show and the stark realities of those people. I didnt like some of the fluffy stuff they put in it like what's her face and the were fat club. She was a bit much, but I loved that doctor and just enjoyed the show it gave me…

Feeling angry when I exercise
Has anyone ever experienced feelings of anger during exercise especially towards the end. I wonder if its the increasing heart rate or just feeling hot and tired, but lately when I exercise I get angry everything just sets me off. I don't even want to wave to my neighbors and I'll cuss at them under my breathe. It's not…

Yes this is my weight....
It feels very cathartic and freeing to be able to finally say my weight. I've been stating it out loud since starting on MFP. I'm not proud of the fact I weight 310lbs, but I feel good that I can finally say it out loud. The secret is revealed so to speak. Do you tell others your weight? Do you feel safe being able to…

Standing NSV
I realized that I stood for more than 4hrs straight with dancing and didn't have to sit down once or feel the need to sit down! I am so excited and in shock about this realization. I stood and stood tall! Did anyone else have this realization that as your weight was falling you could do X longer?

Yup! I'm not giving up my beer or wine...
So after reading a few study abstracts (I know not the whole data), I've come to the conculsion I'm going to allow myself a glass or two of wine and beer maybe not everyday, but I'm not going to feel guilty about it. I may still allow the occasional weekend alcohol binge. What are your thoughts has giving up alcohol made…
