Do you work out when you're sick? :-/
I'm feeling really frustrated. After weeks of just cardio, I have started to work out with my brother who is a trainer again. We did a workout last thursday, but it was more of a fitness test to see my strengths. Over the weekend I was feeling 'icky', mostly in my throat/chest. Tuesday we worked out, and I thought I would…

Funny thing happened yesterday...
Just thought I'd share something that I found amusing. I was doing my kickboxing video & I play my ipod in the background because the kickboxing background music sucks. Anyway, this one song came on and I swear the beat was going exact with the kickboxing video. It definately made it more fun but it made me laugh a little…

Need help with 'cleaner' eating
I have been sticking to 1200 calories or a little more during the week, while eating my exercise calories. It has not been difficult. During the weekend I am higher, but I am keeping up with logging on the weekends and I hope it will cause me to lower my calories on the weekend (& to quit the darn drinking). The thing is,…

Take MFP calorie goal with a 'grain of salt'
My calorie goal has been at 1200, and I have been reading post after post about people losing more weight when they increased their calorie goals. I talked to my brother, who is a trainer, & he said 1200 is way too low, unless you are 125 pounds (which I am no where near). I found a site that gives a more accurate calorie…

Just need to vent...
About life...where I don't actually know anyone in person. This time of year can be so nice (springtime) & yet so depressing. I've been with my bf for 7.5 years...yup, no ring. We talk about getting married all of the time, but he can't afford a ring, and has a lot of financial struggle right now. He doesn't want to get…

Who else hates exercise?
Just curious if anyone else on here hates exercise as much as I do. It's weird, because if I never do it, I feel like crap. I do feel better when I exercise regularly, but I have such a hard time because I freaking hate it while I'm doing it. My goal is always to do it 4-5 times a week, and I typically end up doing it 2…

I guess I have a slow metabolism...
I lost my toe nail a few months ago & when I asked my dr. how long it would take to grow back (I said I read on the internet up to a year) he said it depends on how fast your metabolism is. He told me 2-4 months, the longest he has seen it take was 6 months. Well, it's been 4.5 months and it's a little over half way in,…

My success
So I started over on MFP about a month ago and yes I was a bad girl over the holidays, and I have not lost anything yet. I do, however, think that I have achieved something that I have never been able to before: being happy with who I am and what size I am! I grew up in a family that has been kind of obsessed with weight.…

Starting over
Starting over on MFP, I lost some weight last year & gained it all back. People on my friends list became non existent & I am looking for new supportive friends! I am looking to lose about 40 pounds and I can't do it alone!

The boyfriend's terrible dieting habbits...how do I talk to
My boyfriend has extremely unhealthy dieting habits and I am worried about his health. I am not sure how to talk to him about it without hurting his feelings, plus he is very stubborn about his ways! First of all, he is very overweight. He does drink a lot, and once a year (usually in the spring, of course) he decides he…

The smell of bacon is the devil
I do pretty well at work. I set my calories for the day & try to stick to them. The busier I am the less I think about food. But, of course, I have a coworker who, as of lately, heats up bacon almost every morning for breakfast (once they took away his Foreman grill he just puts it in the microwave now). The smell of bacon…

Depressed, need support :(
It's so hard to loose weight when you are depressed. It's been a bad week and it's only Wednesday..I just found out that I failed my final exam for my master's degree and have to take it over again. I haven't felt this low in a very long time! I hate holding back tears while I'm at work. I got straight A's the entire…

Zumba anyone?
My sister and I decided to try a Zumba class together at my gym on Sunday morning. I am excited because it sounds like fun but I am nervous too! I never do classes at the gym because I feel intimidated and I think, "what if I'm the only out of shape fool who can't do the full hour?" Does anyone else get nervous about…

Music ideas?
It's that time again...I'm sick of everything on my ipod and need new music to motivate me at the gym. Any ideas??

Worried about today...dreated birthday cake
My goal has been to behave on the weekends. Yesterday I only went 200 over which isn't so bad I guess (that's including my workout). Today we are celebrating my brother's birthday, and I know I am going to have to indulge. The problem is, I can't just have a bite or two of the cake or of dinner...if it's there I gotta eat…

Mexican anyone?
I just found out we're going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner later. Any suggestions on low cal meals? I'm not a big fan of vegetables...

New
Hi, my name is Katie & I just joined this week. I seem to get into good routines with exercise & diet during the week, but the weekends have become my biggest weekness! My goal is to religiously add my food to my food diary, even on the weekends.
