This brings me down....you?
You guys ever have one of those moments when you're feeling really good about your weight loss, then you see a picture of yourself and it crushes you? My Warrior Dash pics kinda did that to me. I was so excited about how I was doing, then I saw those and it's like I've been doing it for nothing!! I know not really...but.

Why the harshness for adding friends?
I've seen a lot of women on here with not so nice things on their profiles about men trying to add them as friends. I realize that people, men and women both probably use this site as a dating meat market, but not everyone is that way. I am engaged and have a few male friends on here and welcome requests. I guess I'm just…

Diet Soda vs Regular or Throwbacks

Attn: Vegetarians!!! GELATIN in Mini-Wheats cereal!!
I have been eating the Touch of Fruit mini wheats for a while now and tonight bought a package of the chocolate little bites. I was horrified to read the ingredients list and see GELATIN in them both!!!! Cereal is just not a product you ever expect to find an animal product like that in!!! I'm very disappointed and since I…

Feel like I'm struggling....
I've only joined a little over a month ago and I started out all gung ho. Lost 8 pounds right away then stopped. Lately even when I do the right things and don't over eat and work out it doesn't seem to matter. It's leading me to feel very depressed and want to give up. If doing things right doesn't work why bother??…

Yesterday was my nephews b-day and I definitely overate. Plus I haven't made it to the gym in two days. I know I'll make it…

Good fat versus bad fat??? Thoughts?
I"m just wondering what everyones thoughts are on logging foots higher in good fats like avacado, nuts, olive oils and the such.

Mirrors are my nemesis!!
So...I was at the gym today doing a yoga class. I've been feeling pretty good about myself. I started yoga a few months ago and I'm enjoying it. I'm proud of myself for being able to get into poses that I couldn't do when I was heavier. Before I joined MFP I lost about 10lbs on my own, and now since joining another 6lbs.…
