My Confession
Hello! My name is Angela. Although I'm not new to MFP, it has been over 3 years since I've been an active member. When I first started MFP, approximately 5 years ago, I eventually lost about 30 lbs. But, within the last few years, I've gained 20 of those 30 lbs back. About 3 years ago, my husband and I found out that we…

Are you insane for insanity?
I am thinking of doing the Insanity 60 day challange. It looks hard and very intimidating but I am SO ready for the challenge. I'm going to try to talk my hubby into doing it with me. We are planning on going to the beach in July and we are both in desperate need of getting our sexy beach bodies back. Have you taken the…

Fasting
First of all let me say that I have been eating anything and everything under the sun since my miscarriage back in early January. I've gained almost all of the weight that I had previously lost, with the help of MFP, back. I guess since I couldn't have the baby that I SO wanted, I kinda let food compensate me for that.…

â â ATTENTION: TMI, read @ your own risk! â
What a load of CRAP! And by CRAP, I mean just that! First of all, let me start off by saying that I weighed in this morning, a few pounds heavier than usual (because of some unhealthy choices I made yesterday). Anyway after eating breakfast & feeling the urge, I went to the restroom to do my business. A little later & I'm…

MUD, SWEAT, and BEER
The Mud Sweat and Beer race AKA The Warrior Dash, is coming to GA in March and I SOoo want to register. For those of you who have never heard of it, it's a 5k race. You run through like 8 obstacles (in the mud) for 3 miles & @ the end, they give you a medal, a warriors helmet, a t-shirt, & you celebrate with beer. It looks…

Even though I OVER ate Chinese, I SO enjoyed the company.

Do you weigh less?
I just realized something; my drivers license says that I weigh 135 lbs. But, I admit, the last time I had them renewed, I lied. I was actually 15 lbs heavier. And NOW, I'm 12 lbs less. I've NEVER weighed less than what my license has said. I've either weighed the exact amount or more. So this is a 1st for me. :bigsmile: I…

A calculator that shows the Zumba calories you burn!
Most of you probably have HRM and know exactly how much you burn while doing Zumba. But, to the ones of you, who are like me, & don't have one, how have you been logging your calories burned while doing Zumba? Up till now, I've just been kinda estimating. But I just recently found a website that shows you approx how many…

HELP!! What should I do??
I have 2 job interviews this week; one is for tomorrow and the other is on Thursday. The problem is, they are both for a weekend position. I am a recent LPN graduate & just recently passed my boards exam. The interview I have for tomorrow is more or less for just an assistant. In other words, I don't have to have a degree…

✿ Have you ever went a week w/out logging? ✿
✿ I have been a pretty faithful member of MFP since January. By faithful, I mean that I have logged (almost) everything since I started. I have been known to cheat on occasion & not add a cookie or chips, etc. There was even a time a few months ago, where I went an entire weekend w/out logging, but I felt extremely guilty…

I admit, I cheated! What is your temptation?
Okay, I have to admit something. On yesterday's diary, I cheated. I finished logging around 6 & I planned on not eating anything else. But, since I ate dinner @ like 4, by 8 I was a little hungry. I could've went to bed hungry, but I knew I was going to be up till @ least 12 (the kids & I were watching late night flicks).…

Why is it so hard to resist temptation?
I couln't resist anything that was put in front of me this weekend. In fact, food wise, I'd say that this past weekend was the worse for me since I joined MFP 5 months ago. Saturday was my son's birthday party & we had a cookout. I ate 1 hamburger w/ tomatoe, lettuce, onions, ketchup, & mustard (no bun), 2 hot dogs w/…

Do you think I should?
Okay, here's the deal. Today, I have been really active & have burned over 1000 calories. My net is like 600 & I don't know what to do. I am NOT hungry. Today is the 1st day in a long time that I've ate nothing but healthy (except for the 1/4 donut I had after lunch ). I don't think it will hurt me to go to bed w/ such a…

I want to get it pierced, so freaking bad.
Now that I've reached my goal weight, I would LOVE to get my belly button pierced. I think that is SO sexy looking on a woman, but I have a problem; I have a grossy 'inny outy'. I'm not saying all inny outys are gross, but mine is pretty gross looking. I've looked up different styles online to see if they make a ring that…

Too much sleep or a lack of sleep = weight gain
For the past week or so, I have gained like 4 1/2 pounds. I know that most of this is water weight but thanks to the link below, I know that some of it can be due to my lack of sleep. I've only been getting like 5 hours of sleep here lately. This is partly because I do my running @ night while it is kinda cooler & I end up…

ZUMBA calories? I give up; I have NO CLUE!
I have been doing Zumba (on my Playstation Move) for a couple of months. Unfortunately, I don't have a HRM & I have NO real idea as to how many exact calories I am burning. I am 5'9" and I weigh around 144 pounds. For those of you who are around my height & weight, have a HRM, & know how many calories you burn doing Zumba…

Megan Fox Birthday Cake
Okay, so tomorrow is my son's birthday. He will be 12 years old. Today, I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his party Saturday. At first he gave me a smart a** comment and said, "The kind you eat." After a fake chuckle, I asked him what he would want to have on top of his cake? After a big ole grin, he said, "Megan…

What do you do for a living?
I am at the time unemployed. But I am a mom of 3 and I am pretty much constantly doing something. Whether it's cleaning, cooking, or playing with the kids, I'm doing it 24/7.

Anorexic? ME? How bizarre!!
I hate it when people ask if you are becoming anorexic. For instance, I have some close family members who asked me this today. They said they were worried about me because my 1st goal was to get to 135 & now I am 129. They say that they think I am developing a problem and I can't stop myself from losing. WTC!! My 2nd…

I just had an amazingly delicous meal.
Most people eat rice in many different ways. For instance, some may eat it w/ sugar & butter. While others eat it w/ their chinese food, japenese food, and/or their mexican food. So, this morning I thought, I would try something different w/ my grits. Most of ya'll probably have ate it w/ regular cheese and or bacon but…
