Only ate 280 cal yesterday...
My throat has been killing me. It hurts really bad to swallow anything, even if its just my own saliva or water. And most foods that I've eaten actually burn my throat. So I only managed to eat a packet of oatmeal for breakfast, and 2 cups of that soup at hand soup. Simple foods like grapes, bananas, apples were all too…

Sore Throat Diet
Yah I've been on this diet for the past couple of days now. It hasn't been the most fun diet plan I've ever been on but it works. lol. It hurts really bad to swallow so therefore, I really don't want to eat much just to avoid the pain. I have been forcing myself to eat though. I think I'm finally getting better now.…

Pranayama for Overeating
Just something I found and wanted to share as an alternative for those looking for a way to control compulsive eating. i struggle with this sometimes and this has worked for me. This is at best a painful subject, at worst a dangerous one. Compulsive overeating. You can't stop it, you can't help yourself, you just keep…

The reason some of us may not be losing weight.
Let me preface this post by first stating that I love MFP. I feel it is a great tool and has been the key factor in my lifestyle change so far. Also, I know there are a lot of other things that come into play when we are trying to figure out why we aren't losing what we thought we would be. My post here is just speaking to…

TOM posts...
Just something funny I wanted to share with everyone. I'm a male cyclists in St. Louis, MO. Every time I see someone post TOM I always think "oh a fellow cyclist!" Because TOM for me means Tour of Missouri. I have been tricked into viewing these threads a few times before I finally got it. lol.

Kind of an odd success.
I figured I'd share this story as it began with an attempt to be healthy. So this past Friday I wanted to ride my bike home as hard as I could since I missed a day of riding due to rain. So I'm doing just that when I spot a Jack Russel Terrier in my path without a leash. I then notice there is not a human around him…

My 1st real success
I knew today would be a special day. So it started off like any other day with me just hopping on the scale right out of bed (after a quick potty break) and I appear to be on pace to lose for my official weigh in on Sunday. Good. Then I start the scramble to find something to wear to work. My normal rotation of clothes are…

Stevia: My Experience
Let me start this off by saying the Stevia website warns you of this side effect so this isn't breaking news. A little about me and my condition. I'm a type II diabetic which means I suffered from high blood sugar. I never had any side effects from it or anything. Just something the doctor saw in my blood and medicated me…

I'm a Calorie Wh-re.
I thought this would be an interesting topic to bring up. What are some of the strangest activities you've counted calories burned for? For example: Yesterday I had to change a flat on my car. I just so happened to have completed a day of c25k about an hour earlier and I still had my HRM in the car. So I tossed it back on…

MFP Diary: to share or not to share?
I think this belongs here as i believe it can help people get quick support/feedback concerning weight loss. Just curious why you decided to share or not share your MFP diary. And why should someone share their diary. I think the first step is to say to the world, I want to lose weight. But its a leap to show the world…

But something hit me last night and I had an urge to go and try my hand at jogging around the corrner. I decided not to do it in my neighborhood because we have big hills and I…
