I'll eat this ......but not that....
I love grapes in their true form.....but will not eat grape jelly, candy, or drink grape juice. Also love chocolate (dark is my new fave!!) I will eat brownies but not chocolate cake. Now I know I'm not the only one. C'mon spill it!!

An NSV I'm ticked about ....
See this necklace in my profile pic? It is one of my favorites that I wear quite frequently. I put it on yesterday for church and it wasn't working for me. I kept fiddling with it but it refused to lay appropriately. Why would that be you ask? Because I've finally got toning incorporated into my workouts. I used to wonder…

I don't care.....
How you got fat. How long you've been fat. What others say about you being fat. I care about you finally being healthy. What makes this time different from all the rest? What motivates you too keep coming back for more? How will you stay on track after you've reached your mountain top? I have had a change of heart. Took…

Body Confession
I was cheating on MFP when I saw this news feed on FB. I guess there is a rather new site called, Body Confession http://www.healthforthewholeself.com/2011/04/body-confessions-sharing-it-all/ I only read a handful of posts, but I'm not really sure how I feel about it. You can post whatever you want and those who read the…

A little bit extra......
At my highest weight I was 328 lbs about 8 years ago. Two years ago, I had gotten 67 lbs off. Unfortunately I put about 25 back on. In Jan I joined MFP and I’m now in the process of decreasing again. I have a friend who doesn’t work out and says she’s lost about 15 lbs. She says she has loose skin, yet I don’t. I do work…

Diary Entries
I'm going to give up my weekly weigh ins for Lent. With that said, for 40 days I will have to be very precise about what I eat. I usually cook at home probably 95% of my meals. When you are looking for whatever it is that you ate, do you find something similar in the database or create your own food? Case in point, I made…

Goal
For the longest time I've said I wanted to be 180 lbs. I'm not sure how or why that number stuck in my head. I guess I figured if I could just get there I would never be over 200 again. I don't want to be skinny @ all love my curves!! Matter of fact I almost had a heart attack the other day when I saw my collarbone. I'm 5'…

Transition help
Since joining MFP I realize it's not a mystery why I'm fat. I seriously want to eat better. Any words of advice for a new beginner? I have a seafood allergy so that's out. I'm going to buy brown rice once my white is gone. I'm also going to eat more fresh fruit and veggies. I don't want to try living off of box meals…

On my way!
I've been doing MFP for about 10 days or so. Let's just say I'm shocked at how unhealthy I actually eat compared to how I thought I was doing. I’ve been overweight my entire life and I’ve decided enough is enough. I’m still young enough to enjoy the majority of my life, why would I do so with all this extra baggage. I want…
