hello again! looking for friends who have some bandwidth to check in on me.
It's been oh, too long since I have been on here regularly. Because of some major life events, I'm completely re-evaluating everything right now. I also started cooking better, making myself eat veggies at at least 2 meals per day recently. I am most likely going to be moving across country, and it'll be a tough thing to…

seeing your weight loss? motivation help!!
It's great when you lose weight and can see your weight loss. I can't right now because I just gained back the 10# I lost last year. Blah. I'm seriously in need of new motivation. I often look to what I can *see* that will help me. I've tried a diet jars...two jars with marbles for pounds lost/pounds gained, and I've…

NSV - stronger than the boys!
So I've been getting a bit trimmer, but maintaining the same weight. It's progress, but is still a bit frustrating to not see the weight budge. But ! Small victory: Today my trainer at the gym said I look a little trimmer and that I'm stronger than a bunch of his male clients! And then I bench pressed 95 pounds 10 times,…

when you want a snack... or to eat ...
when you want a snack... or to eat ... (when you're not supposed to) what do you do, instead? I've been having a hard time controlling myself this week. Today I tried to be online a lot. Yesterday I read a lot. (Yeah I could go work out a whole lot, but I'm recovering from an exhausting month of work, so I can only work…

not 100% new. but now with 100% more "I'm doing this."
I've had a rough past 4 years, and I'm done. Long story short, 4 years ago I lost my grandmother, my mom, even my little old cat. I moved three times in that same year span... and the thing I let go of was eating. I was a wreck for a good year or two, and I've been trying to lose this weight for about 2 years now. I…

do you plan your meals ahead? eating healthy seems daunting.
I'm thinking of trying to plan my meals ahead. I've been finding that I'll wait until I'm actually hungry to eat these days. That's good because I'm starting to consume less food - but then I reach for canned foods, or "healthy" frozen dinners. (smart ones/lean cuisine) and don't want to spend the time cooking something…

your best non-gym workout!
I have to be away from my home/gym for about 2 months. Blah. What is everyone's favorite non-gym excercise? I'm specifically looking for things I can do to maintain my muscle tone/strength I've gotten at the gym, but using no gym machines, but no workout DVD stuff either. (I won't have a TV.) I want to put together a…

nsv: I LOVE fitting into old pants!
NON scale victories are SO much more exciting sometimes. SO. I used to wear size 6 pants... alas, I had gotten up to a size 14, when I started wearing my BOYFRIEND'S clothes, in lieu of my own because mine didn't fit. Try as I might, I couldn't lose weight for about three years. Last summer, I got back down to the size 14…

i have to get back to 40 pounds ago, and have no idea how to
Howdy all. I don't know where to start here, so I'm going to start with how I got here. When I was 28, I was on top of the world. I went to the gym daily, had a normal life, and enjoyed going out with friends to restaurants and bars, could eat anything. I was looking great. Tall and thin. Then my mom died. Since that time…
