SCALE: Friend or Foe
I'm wanting to write some words of encouragement to a friend in addressing the scale, but am looking for some synonyms for the word. I know we have some creative minds out there. Can you come up with some, such as "take away machine" "weight remover" "my scale down version" ... all of which aren't what I'm looking for.…

Setting Goals
Is there some sort of formula? Why do they say goals should be specific? What do you do to turn things around when you don't meet those goal? Just getting started again and want to see success this time!

MOTIVATION
I belong to a weight loss group. None of us have been doing well. This past week a light-bulb went off for me and I became really focused. I sent notes and cards to members of my small group, in addition to posting everyday on Facebook. I thought I would see losses from everyone last night but that wasn't the case, in fact…

Feel Like an Addict
I am almost back up to my highest weight and recently went over the 200 mark which I swore I'd never venture into again. I have 50 pounds to lose but am lacking motivation and consistency. There is always some excuse to eat those things that are making me gain and then say it'll be different tomorrow. I started my food…

Weird diets
Trying to get back on the wagon and was thinking about all the diets out there. I thought I was being original when I thought of the " THREE BITE DIET", meaning that you can have anything you want to eat but it can only be three normal size bites and you can't repeat the food more than once a day. However, I found this has…

CARRYING THE EXTRA POUNDS
I take after my mother and carry my weight in the hip area. They say that you lose first, where the bulk of your fat is, but that doesn't seem to be the case for me. Maybe I just haven't lost that much yet. I'd really like to have a waist again and wish that's where it'd come off. Where do you carry your weight and where…

BOOK TITLE
We're going away this weekend and I need something to read as a distraction from getting myself off track. Does anyone know of a good funny lighthearted diet book?

Equipped to do it
I told myself I was going to get back to the gym last night ... did it happen? Then I thought of all the stuff I've accumulated at home that could help me exercise. What do you have in your home in the way of exercise equipment? What was the last thing you used?

Any Bloggers Out There
Blogging has really helped me not to quit ... When I write, I talk to myself more positive and seeing things in writing puts a whole new perspective on the subject. I'm struggling right now and it helps to read how others are making their way through the difficult times. Would like some blogging friends to keep me…

CONFESSION TIME
Have you ever hid something you were going to eat later or put your name on something to let others in your house that it was hands off?

Do you ever reach an age ...
when you think I'm too old for all this diet stuff. I've been this way too long to think things are going to change? Well, maybe some people do but not me. Granted, I have started over way too many times but I always have hope and in the current moment think I've really got a shot to be able to wear ANYTHING in my closet.…

Workplace Wellness Progress
Wonder if you ... for those that work ... have wellness programs in your place of employment. If so, does you employer give any incentives and what does your program involve?

FOOD DIARY
Several people have asked to see my food diary ... I'm hesitant. Guess I'm afraid people will criticize what I'm eating just like people tell me that I eat out too much. It's working for me and I'm in control AND I'm losing ... why do I worry about what other people say?

Do friends help?
I do well to take time to update my blog and track my food and exercise, but I think having someone to gently push you couldn't hurt. I can't decide if I need a coach or a cheerleader ... maybe I just need a friend. It looks like most people are here are pretty young. Good for you for taking care of your health while…

Proving things to Myself
I'm into my fourth week of MFP. I have proven to myself I can stick with my program, if I blog and track what I eat. MFP has been a wonderful aid. My husband and I have been traveling quite a bit the last couple of years and it has really thrown a monkey wrench into any chance of me reaching my weight loss goals ... up…
