When Did You Get Rid of Your Old (Larger Sized) Clothing

Should I Go Work Out Today, or ?
Hi, I am leaving work in 15 minutes, and I am planning to go to a community event this evening at 7 p.m. I had planned to go to the gym and work out for an hour, then rush home, shower, and rush to the event.

NSV Cheese Biscuit & Pasta Salad
I eat a buffet lunch daily provided by my employer. Normally I keep it simple and enjoy a grilled chicken breast, steamed veggie of the day, and a starchy veggie or bread, with fruits for dessert. It really makes it easy to eat well when someone else is doing the preparing and there is a variety to choose from. Today,…

Elliptical Trainer Question - Moving Forward
I don't like the elliptical trainer because the motion is unfamiliar and the workout is hard so I avoid it. However, I have decided to add it to my fitness routine because I hear such great things about how well it burns calories so much faster than any other cardio equipment in the gym. So...I get on the elliptical and…

Private, and Personal
Hi everyone, I'm a very private person. I'm not necessarily shy, but I don't like a lot of attention focused on myself. Which has become a problem as my weight loss has become noticeable. People I barely know are stopping me to ask how much weigh I have lost, or how many calories I am eating, or what my exercise regime is.…

Afterglow from Binge Eating?!?
Is there a word for the feeling of satiety and pleasure almost like an intoxication that results from overeating? Example: Was blue this morning and couldnt' shake it.

NSV - My Cat is Uncomfortable
Today is my 60th day on MFP and I've lost 18 pounds so far. Not much, I know, which is why the NSV's are so valuable. I've had two this week which I just have to share with you. 1. Went to my Mom's house where my baby brother is home for spring break. He kept looking at me, then finally asked me if I had changed my…

Afternoon snack help, please!
MFP friends, I need your help! Some days I get really hungry in the afternoon. Solved my problem by keeping a pack of Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix, Variety Pack of Dark Chocolate & Nut and Fruit & Nut bars in my desk. If I get that nagging hungry feeling about 4 p.m., I'll have one of these and a bottle of water. They are…

Hunger and Emotional Pain
Its my third day of logging my meals, restricted calorie intake versus just eating anything and everything that occurs to me. Of course that is how I got in the shape I'm in, so intellectually I know that this is something I want to do. However... Its my day off, so I ate raisin bran with 2% milk...so far so good...then I…
