Any Over Eaters Annonymous Peeps? Curious about it?
Just kidding, you aren't allowed to say! Haha! I went to my first meeting yesterday (I'm breaking some step I believe, by even admitting that I went), and it was, for the most part, a positive experience for me. There was about 6 of us, 3 of us were new, and we had to write for 10 mins, journaling I would rather call it,…

#Goals
I have 20 lbs I would like to lose during my challenge, but along with that I will do a challenge to log my food and exercise everyday, and if I eat fast food it MUST be a healthy option. I will allow myself one cheat meal a week, but I am seriously buckeling down on my food choices and really pushing myself at the gym. I…

How YOU doin??!!!
Ok Wendy Williams was on today, so I had to use the tag line haha. Yesterday I did REALLY good, but today I hit a LITTLE rough patch. I had to come out to my dads house which is 45 mins where I live because I have to basically be hospice nurse to our 8 yr old aussie mix. She has been sick for over a week now, we have taken…

Post what you'd like to accomplish in 12 weeks, weight related, health related, or whatever you want to get done in the time frame and we can all encourage one another and hold…

One Year Logaversary Reflection. 95lbs and counting!
Today is my 365th day logging in a row, so I decided to do a post about how much one can change in a year. Warning: it's a very long read, and it is pretty candid, but I'm hoping it might help someone struggling, or connect with someone who can relate, or just inspire someone to stick with it. Feel free to add me, but…

Need "dry food" ideas
I am going to be staying with a friend of mine while I get back on my feet with a new job I'm starting. The first thing he warned me about was that his roommate and roommate's kid and gf eat all the food that's in the fridge, whether they bought it or not. To avoid the drama of me freaking out on these people for eating my…

Any Morbily Obese people doing Insanity?
I'm 250 pounds at almost 5'4 and im really interested in doing insanity, even though my stamina isn't very high. I can do like 10 minutes on the elliptical at most, but I really like how he says on the video its not about how much you do, just give 100 percent of what you can. My question is are there any people who did…

Help! I have enablers all around me!!!
My family is the worst! I was telling my dad how much ive been dreading jogging lately, so he bought me a mp3 player and even went walking with me on a day I didnt want to go. He also doesn't even whine that we eat almost the same food every single night for dinner, which is chicken and broccoli. I can't live like this…

Mfp Friends Game!!!!
As much as I love boobs, I am kind of sick and tired of seeing that 1/3 posts is about them today, so I decided to come up with a little fun game about your friends list on mfp. Sort your friends out by oldest, and name who your oldest (not age, but time-wise) friend is on here! Mine is TamTastic *edit* boobs AND eye candy…

blister remedies anyone?
I have been jogging and developed a mean blister on my ankle. I am going to take a rest day tomorrow for other reasons, but was wondering if anyone had any home remedies to dry out/ heal a blister faster. I jogged with a band aid, but my shoes work down the part that covers the blister (the loose cotton part)

my hot gf wants mfp friends
My girlfriend jen_lvnfit just signed up and wants friends. She lost about 45 pounds and is toning up now. Add her, shes pretty cool. Shes a gym goer, and eats relatively healthy, although she told me she was going to be eating super clean this spring to do an ultimate tone up. Did I mention she was hot?

Anyone watch sound of music?
I am a theatre snob; I admit this, but I really wasn't impressed with Carrie Underwood's performance. The singing was great, duh, but watching her act was like watching a high school play. I was disappointed because she really does have the look, and she has a wonderful voice, I just wish they would have picked someone who…

Guess the next diet fad!
I'm going to guess it will be a no-acid-fruit diet. When I eat fruits such as oranges or pineapples, I will get canker sores if I dont brush my teeth or use mouthwash afterwards, so acid fruit must be terrible for you. Also, studies have shown that fruit in acid can eat away at tooth enamel, so imagine what it must be…

totally bragging about myself!
Ok, don't laugh, because what i did is so pathetic in comparison to others, but I jogged for the first time in 9 years!!!(since high school pe) my neck is on fire, my lungs hurt and so does my left hip, but I feel on top of the world. I think because of my size that im afraid to try because I dont want to fail, but I'm so…

Your December goals?
I have a few goals. One goal is to log everyday, even if im going to go over. Another goal is to make sure I drink two liters of water every day, and no more soda. I also am going to make sure I move in some way 4 days a week, preferably 5 or 6. What are some of your goals? Perhaps I can get some ideas:)

Walking dogs in the winter....
I have an Australian Shepard/Collie mixed dog, so she has a grip of fur, but its going to be about 55 degrees out when I want to go walking this morning. Is that too cold to take her with me? I would go walking at night in the summer to avoid her overheating, but not sure if she would be too cold to go out in the weather…

Family Guy Sadness:(
I haven't seen this last Sunday's episode yet, but got the spoiler alert from the internet (thanks a lot, Bing) and was wondering what any fans think about (stop reading if you don't want the spoiler alert) the death of Brian, the dog? I am so sad, I love his and Stewie's different adventures they go on and they have a…

Juicing fast
I got inspired once again by "fat sick and nearly dead" but I also watched "hungry for change" and I really want to do a juicing fast for at least 10 days if not more. I have wanted to be a raw vegan for a while, or at least 75 percent raw vegan, and hoping the fast will help rid my cravings of horrible processed foods…

Any clean eater out there?
I need more clean eaters on my friends list, mainly for recipes and advice, but also for motivation. Any takers? grrr....I missed the "s" on eaters in my title....

Recovery Meals
I have read on here before that chocolate milk is a great recovery drink.....but what about chocolate soy milk? and when exactly do you need a recovery drink? is it after every workout, after cardio or after weight lifting?

Now my workouts are dissapointing:(
I got an hrm and it completely makes me feel like i'm doing nothing when i work out. I should thank it though, for showing me my true calorie burn....but I only burnt 85 cals doing 12 minutes of the elliptical, and mfp calculated 255 cals burned. So, perhaps this is the reason I have not been losing weight because mfp way…

Why are men so difficult???!!!
This is a complete rant on my father, I love him to death and I'm very proud of him for taking control of his health and all that jazz. I have been trying to get my dad to eat healthy for a LONG time. He won't eat all day and used to eat like 4 servings of whatever I made for dinner that night. Well I got a job where I…

Craving Sugar?
I have a horrible sweet tooth, which has def died down since I started eating healthier. It took about 4 days of headache withdrawals to actually be completely free of the once every hour craving. My dad told me he heard from either dr oz (I know I know.....everyone on here hates him it seems, but I actually like him) or…

Salad Dressomgs
I just tried Ken's Raspberry pecan low fat salad dressing and OH MY! I'm in love. Even at 50 cals a serving....I'm hooked. I absolutely despise the low fat ranch dressing I've tried from Kraft or wishbone so I have been trying to test out some new dressings and this one was suggested by someone in the same aisle(I live in…

Anyone else....
HATE exercising? I literally dread having to work out. I have zero stamina, and I don't feel super amazing after I sweat and pant. I'm the kind of person that can actually go to sleep right after working out. I have never been one to like super physical activity, and the only thing that makes me work out is that i love…

You know you drank too much when....

Juicing recipies
A friend of mine gave me a juicer like 2 years ago and i have yet to use it. I got a little thought in my brain that im going to try to juice after watching the reboot your life movie, especially since i have my 25 birthday in about a month coming up. My mother had to juice for health reasons, and she said she never felt…

Is eating healthy really more expensive?
I went to Mcdonalds a few days back and ordered a medium meal....almost $7.50....So it really bugs me when fat people (i'm fat myself, so nobody freak out) use the excuse they can't eat healthier because it costs too much. Also, before i started measuring my food, I would use a whole chicken breast as my portion size. Now…
