Lemon-AID?
Does addiing lemon to water really aid in weight loss? I've heard this, and was curious what you think (or know!).

It's Lent already....again?
I started MFP when I "gave up" sugar and carbs for lent last year. I'm 51 pounds down but I WAS 64 pounds down last September. I don't want to yo-yo again. I can't. Maybe I should give up giving up for Lent. Thanks for listening :) Hopefully those of you out there that have yo-yo'd can give me some motivating words of what…

Embarassing that these are NSVs but here ya go....
List of NSV's since losing 41 lbs. Why do I think they're embarassing? They're very simple daily activites that I didn't realize were impeded by my weight until I realized how easy they are now to do. Here's the list: 1. I don't have to hold my breath and reach between my legs, leaning one direction or the other, to tie my…

I was heading our for pizza when...
I ganed 1 lb. last week. I weighed myself today (4 days after my weigh in) and gained ANOTHER .5. That means in 10 days I'm up 1.5 pounds. I'm exercising like a feind. I'm logging my food and am often under cals (but NEVER below 1200-1300 and I weigh 245 so I won't be going into starvation mode for sure). I said "@#$% it!"…

said my weight out loud and proud!
So, I went to give blood today and had a GREAT NSV....they didn't have to use the big cuff! THEN I had to get up on a table to give blood and I hopped right up, no problem. As if that wasn't good enough, they asked me my weight after I was already in the room laying on the table and I said "250.2 pounds" loud and proud. I…

the ultimate family support happened today!
I just had to share. I have been dreading Mother's Day because of the annual breakfast my daughter and husband make me. Oh, no, it's not bad, it's YUMMY but totally not what I'm eating nowadays. It's usually pancakes, eggs, bacon, strawberries, an english muffin, hot cocoa, you know the drill. Well, my 8 year old daughter…

Hmmmm....I just realized...
Just realized it's been 50 days since I've had anything fried, processed, served-on-bread, smothered-wth-cheese, or made with an indescribably large amount of sugar. Huh. Who knew? I need to remember this the next time I step on the scale and grimace at the miniscule loss. Anyone else have any revelations since their…

big meal for breakfast? lunch? suppertime?
I am toying with the idea of having my "big" (well, not as big as it used to be) meal at lunch instead of suppertime. My thought is that maybe I'll get my metabolism going earlier in the day and have time for my body to use all the calories. I'm afraid if I move it back to breakfast I'll be starving by the end of the day.…

Planning to be off-plan
I have read a few posts recently from people worried about going over calories and getting discouraged. I wanted to share something that I have been doing the past five weeks and still have lost 25 pounds: the plan to be off-plan. If you're like me at all, I have cravings for food....mostly carbs for me. So, instead of…

How much burn is too much burn?
Okay. We have an elliptical machine. In fact, it is staring at me, mocking my inadequacy, as I write this. I'm not sure I know the right way to work out on this beast. How much time should warm up/cool down be and at what pace? And how long is best time to do the cardio part? I'm a beginning exercised and am onlyy used to…
