yuck- breakups suck
Yep so after posting about my relationship yesterday, I had a long talk with him on the phone and pretty much broke up. I would like to still stay friends with him- but not sure how that ever really works out. I feel like there is a pit in my stomach and I am just sad. I really really enjoyed his company but his hang ups…

OT- Relationship Advice
So I just want to throw this out here and see if anyone has any advice for me about it. And I am writing about it because I realize that it is eating me up a bit. My boyfriend of 4 months still does things with his ex-wife and they are still friends. They sometimes go out to eat, they do a volunteer radio show together,…

sad but true and trying to figure it all out
So I have gained 10 lbs since joining MFP- after logging cal and exercise everyday for such a long time- I am still so baffled as to why it has worked for so many but not at all for me. I have decided to hire a nutritionist and trainer to help me get off the 10 I have gained and maybe figure out how it has happened. I will…

heart rate monitor- 6 hours of wearing it
I decided to wear my HRM for 24 hours to really see how many cal I am burning. I dont know why except to say that I gues there is a tech geek inside of me wanting to see what i would learn, I dont know if anyone will find this interesting but so far I have found out: For the 1st 6 hours of wearing it I have burned an avg…

nutrition and weight lifting question
I am trying to get my muscle to fat ratio up to help with burning more cal while I am at rest. So far I have been training 3 x's a week- full body. Heavy weights until muscle exhaustion. I was told that I should have some protein and carb before workout and then protein (like a protien shake) immediately after to build my…

Losing it because I am gaining
So I went to the gym this morning and I have now offically GAINED 11 lbs since starting MFP. I almost cried but sucked it in and just kept going. I am trying to reason it out and get myself together but I have to tell you - I just feel so teary and depressed. I just dont understand what is going on. I log in my cal, I eat…

TLT- Wednesday Aug 27
AM- weights at the gym but wow, I really wanted to stay in bed this morning. Proud that I got up anyway. I am finding that voice that lures me toward old habits is still there but there is a new voice that says- "Nope, that was the old way. Remember the plan." It has become a mantra almost to me now. Eating a lot of…

TLT- Tuesday Aug 26 how are ya doing?
Am gym went well. I wore my HRM for Intervals and highly recommend one for people who are motivated and intrigued by that kind of thing. I felt like I had a great workout compared to a steady pace workout at the same time period. I am feeling stronger and more positive about making healthy choices and being ok with the…

So how is everyone doing?? Obstacles, tips, discoveries?? Plans for the week? How are people doing?? I went to the gym this morning and felt so strong and capable and realized that is what is going to fuel me (well that and healthy food) through these last 10lbs. I would LOVE to see some changes for my cousins wedding on…

TLT- August 22 TGIF
Ahh nothing like a good night sleep and some preplanning to get my head on straight. I realize that some of the problems i have been having are because my life is out of balance. I have moved to a new place with few friends- a new boyfriend that I literally spend all my time with and little time for ME and making girl…

TLT (The Last 10) ????
Anyone interested in starting a group for those of us struggling with a 10ish lb weight loss. I think it gets a little trickier with the last 10 or so. I know I am struggling. I have never been so public (even though it is on the internet) to a group before about my weight and my ups and downs with it. Of course anyone is…

TLT- Aug 21
Good Morning to Everyone. It has been a hard couple of days for me. I feel down and discouraged and am really having to hush the voice inside my head saying things to me like "You are never going to lose this weight." Your weight is going to keep going up and up. You can never stick to a plan" Yep- and other unhelpful…

TLT Aug 19
Woke up this morning and was really SORE from my weight routine yesterday. But still I somehow managed to get outside for some hill intervals. Once I got going I loved it- I liked timing myself- 60 sec recovery and 30 second running my *kitten* off as fast as I could. It was a game to me and to be honest, I felt like a bad…

TLT August 18
Good Mornin'. I hope that everyone had a good weekend. I think that a challenge is a great idea. I wonder if one challenge may be for us to strive for ONE Interval cardio session this week. Many of us are use to long runs, or long cardio, but really to get these last pounds off we need to shock our bodies a bit. I am going…

A little help- Banks I have read your post- still wary....
A little help si vous plait. I have been having trouble seeing much movement at all on the scale. I track my food and exercise and dont eat below 1200. For example- yesterday I was at 1700 total to eat- 1200 plus burned 567. But that seemed like a lot of calories to me. I ate them but felt weird doing it. It was actually a…

SBF- July 2nd
Wow I am the first to post. I hope it is ok to start it. I feel sooooo good to be on track. It is amazing what it does to your self esteem even when there is little to no reponse yet from the scale. I am eating well and within my new raw greens and fruit plan (getting ready for my August cancer check) Thinking good…
