Having trouble getting back on track
I made some progress and reached a mini goal right around the time I hit bottom with an episode of depression and as I got treated with medication for that I came down with a cold. So I havnt been tracking that well. Not even been staying "on track" every day but have tried to be careful not to go over or regain. But I…

how to set your activity level?
I am a waitress at a Big establishment so that means when I work I do A LOT of walking and carrying heavy plates and stacks of dirty dishes. And I know on shifts that are very busy I burn A LOT of calories. But not all shifts are as busy. Nor do they all last as long some are only a few hours. On my days off I would say I…

how to continue loosing weight while fighting depression?
I have battled depression off and on my whole life. But have managed to be off medication for the past 6 years. It is not caused by situations in life but a chemical imbalance that can come and go sometimes worse then others. Most of the time I manage it just fine by staying active, keeping myself busy, not dwelling on it…

Anyways.....I noticed that when we have days off…

Primal eating?
ok I am intrigued by this Primal eating thing especially cuz I am not really loosing any weight.

Ex's and the games they play with the kids :(
I know this doesnt really have anything to do with weight loss, other then it making me want to just lay in my bed with the covers pulled up and be depressed. It has been a hard summer since all my kids are gone out of state to their dads. You would think I would be in heaven having no children and going out all the time.…

Ok so when I go to the gym about 3 days a week I really give it my 110%. I do yoga for 20 mins as a warm up that has me sweating and shaking and every muscle activated.

Guess I have to…
