I own a house/property and have a full-time professional…

BASIC MATH?
I've been at this a long time here at MFP, and to be honest - failing miserably at the moment. Holidays brought on depression. Lack of funds brought on some bad eating habits. Drinking too much, etc. Point is I KNOW I've gone off rails this month, but the numbers aren't making sense. Started December at 203 pounds 1 lb =…

No excuses, only inspiration...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2417280/Barbie-Thomas-inspirational-mother-lost-arms-aged-2-BODYBUILDER.html I watched a show on her years ago, and even then she amazed me. Her accident was at the beginning of her childhood development, so her feet act more like hands now. I remember her blowing drying her hair…

I can't lose weight! (yea one of those threads)
I hate to put myself out there, because I've read enough of these threads to know it doesn't always end pretty. Bottom line, I need some input about my inability to get things moving. Will summarize things as best I can. Started Oct.2012 here counting calories. Never dieted before, so it was a major shift in my lifestyle…

Eight months, 30 lbs and a better perspective...
As a child I was naturally athletic, and grew up on home-grown veggies, with meat and potatoes. We headed out the door after breakfast and didn't come back inside until dark most days. Lots of woods to explore, bike races, and good ole fashion fun. Weight wasn't a thought, until I gained 50 lbs on first baby. Lost some of…

Protein shake & increased heart rate?
Been doing this "lifestyle change" for about 6 mths and learning as I go. I've got the eating right part down. Since I'm not the most aggressive person in regards to exercise, it's been a personal challenge lately. I recently cleaned up my diet to get the scale moving again, and committed to meeting macros and increasing…

Stronglifts 5x5 Squats

Just started 5x5 on Sunday and I might have to modify the program a bit until I'm more confident on my form. Here's the deal. Currently 5'5" @ 214 lbs, most of my weight is carried in my middle, *kitten* and…

Anxiety at the gym...
I'm having the hardest time getting over myself here. Talk me down off the ledge please. I got serious about weight loss on Oct.1, 2012 and have logged on MFP everyday since then. I'm OCD and brutally honest about my tracking. I manage a calorie budget, but not always a clean eater. I'm losing about 1 lb a week lately, so…

Dating profile and describing yourself?
After a 3 yr hiatus on dating, I decided that ringing in the new year alone on my sofa with the cat was the final straw. So I created a dating profile on Plenty of Fish site, and run into a conundrum I need help with. I hate labels and of course it wants you to pick a "body type". Out of the following, which would you pick…

Face to face... 22 lbs down
I haven't had the easiest of times with this "lifestyle change". Started in October and 3wks into it, I threw out my lower back. I just started feeling better last week, but can't do much cardio yet. Still fragile in the lumbar due to disc thinning and osteoarthritis. So last Thursday, these two punks break in my backdoor…

A New Chapter
New to MFP (joined at the beginning of the month). I'm slow to add friends, but I've been tracking calories religiously since I joined. Some days are better than others, but I don't beat myself about the occasional indulgence. As for diet, I am not following anything specific, but focusing on portion control. As I continue…
