I need to stop drinking... anyone been there?
So, I really need to stop drinking. About a year ago, I went through something traumatic, and ever since, to deal with anxiety and depression, I've been drinking about 4-5 nights a week. I wait till the kids are in bed and I indulge. The husband and I have at least 2 but usually 3 or 4 drinks. It can be beer, wine or…

Well hello, old friend!
Well, I'm back. I started my fitness journey back in February and did really well until about the end of June. I had lost 4 inches, a few pounds, and was feeling good about myself.

Wok recipes
Does anyone have any good recipes to make in a wok? I begged my husband to buy one two years ago, used it once (failed miserably) and haven't touched it since! I really want to start using it though. I would like to make meat/veggie dishes. My husband loves asian food. Any recipes or tips for wok cooking? Thanks!

I guess I'm not doing this right, any suggestions?
So about 6 weeks ago I decided that I was gaining too much weight and it needed to stop. I cut back on sodas and snacks. Increased my water intake, stuck to 3 meals a day only, watched my portions. Then I bought an elliptical and started using that 6 days a week. Then I joined MFP and started counting calories and just…

Alright fitness gurus, I need advice!
Hi, all. I need some help. So I've been working out the last month. I bought an elliptical, so I'm doing that 5-6 times a week, and I'm also doing the 30 Day Shred, I'm on day 5 of that.
