Body talk
So I was in the gym at my work today. Two women were talking about a third woman and how she is really small and has been losing weight, works out all the time, and how she has really strong willpower and doesn't eat sweets or drink, etc. I'm paraphrasing but then one of the women said she "didn't want to get too small,"…

Could really use a pep talk yall...

Back and looking for accountability partners!
So...I took some time off MFP and exercising and now I'm back on board. Last fall, I started a new job, had twins, and lost my dad in a pretty short span of time. Now things have kind of evened out for me and I recommitted to healthful living. I have a Jawbone Up24 fitness tracker. My husband got me an Xbox so I can work…

When you fall off the wagon?
Sometimes I know I haven't eaten very well, or I haven't been to the gym. So I don't log in to MFP. I'll wait until I feel better about what I ate or my gym day. Do you all do this?

How "bad" is bread for reals?
I love making bread at home. White, whole wheat, sourdough - LOVE it. I can think of nothing better than toast for breakfast. Lovely lovely toast with jam and honey. But I get this message about DON'T EAT CARBS and BREAD IS BAD. Break it down for me, people. How "bad" is making a loaf of bread and having a couple of slices…

When do you work out? (I'm a morning worker-outer!)
I get to the gym about 6 a.m. and usually do a group class. M-W-F, I would do BodyPump or PiYo, then 1/2 hour doing Couch25K. Tu-Th water aerobics and a 1/2 hour of swimming laps. Saturday is yoga and couch to 5K or gardening. If I don't work out first thing in the morning, I won't do it. I will think of a zillions reasons…

Hey y'all
Joined MFP today. I did WW for about 6 months - only online and with an app. I can't see paying that money every month so here I am. I only lost about 6 lbs on WW and the fee isn't worth that. Anyway, I'm looking to lose about 15 pounds. I'm interested to hear about everyone's experiences, what works for you, tips, tricks…
