Vacationing and Healthy Living
Alrighty, So I am going to TN on vacation for a whole long week... I would like to enjoy some really delicious bbq while I am down there. For me vacationing has always been about going to eat at lots of really yummy restaurants. I don't really drink all that much so I probably won't be wasting calories on alcohol much.…

Hello Again.
So I am not new to MFP, but I felt the need to re-introduce myself. I looked back to when I first joined MFP and it was a year ago. I have only weighed in a handful of times. It seems like this start-stop journey I have been taking has been a failure. When I originally weighed in I weighed around 317 or so. I got down to…

Unhealthy not eating...
I find that when I really want something unhealthy to eat instead of picking something healthy to satisfy my cravings I'll just not eat. I'd rather not eat at all then eat something I don't really want. Like right now. My stomach is growling and I'm hungry but the only healthy things I have are oatmeal or greek yogurt.…

I waited in line to try out for the Biggest Loser for 5 hours last week in Chicago and after not receiving a call back decided that if I had the conviction to wait in line that long there is no reason I can't do this at home.
