Yet another fitbit issue...
I wear it faithfully everyday, and some days it doesnt add any calories to MFP - which is fine, maybe I didnt burn more than my alotted calories that day right??? But then days like today, when I've sat at my desk all day and have a meer 3000 steps for the day and fitbit added 500 calories to my daily total. What the…

Now I have a real reason to lose weight quickly
I just got an email that I received a grant for the coalition that I'm part of. I'll have to have my picture taken and it will be on the companies website as well as some of their publications.. and probably in our work newsletter. I'm very happy we got funded, but I need to look a heck of a lot better than this in those…

Favorite Wintertime Exercise (other than the gym)?
I like to walk, but not in the freezing cold. I know there's always the gym, but does anyone else have favorite exercises to do in the winter? I'd especially like to hear things I can do at home.

Spanx is renewing my motivation
My clothes have become baggy but I dont want to buy new ones until I lose at least 10 more pounds. In the past I've found that I tend to give up at this point. My clothes are loose, I'm looking better, feeling better, so I just decide that I'm good how I am. Well, I'm not ready to give up and settle for a 12 lb loss, I…

I'm stuck
The scale went up a little (3 lbs) two weeks ago and I'm still trying to lose that weight. I'm getting frustrated but I'm not giving up. I'm still up by almost a pound. I've stepped up my work outs but unfortunately when I work out more I tend to be hungrier. I dont want to eat my exercise calories but I usually consume…

Happy NSV
Friday was Jean Day at work (we get to wear blue jeans on select dates). So I tried on my jeans, which I very very rarely wear. I thought I had two pair, but there was only one pair in my drawer so I figured I must have packed the skinny jeans away. So I put my jeans on, they were just that little bit too tight that they…

Bulking up before starting a challenge
At work we are having an 8-pounds in 10-weeks weight loss challenge. The first weigh in is today. My co-worker convinced us all that we should eat a huge lunch and drink a lot of water so the scale will be higher than normal, and then the weight will come off faster. Unfortunately, I did that as well and had a lower…

Weird coincidence or spirit contact?
Ok, the subject line sounds corny I admit. I'm not a nut, not even sure what I believe when it comes to spirits, ghosts, etc. But, Monday night my husband said I woke up around 11:00 p.m. with a short loud yell. I found out yesterday that around that time my niece had died. Ok, that could totally be a coincidence, but when…

Anyone on CPAP?
My motivation to finally be serious about losing weight is that my doctor wants me on CPAP and I just dont want to have to do that. I have had the sleep test and have been diagnosed with hypopnea (shallow breathing during sleep). While I've always had problems sleeping, even as a kid, I think this hypopnea might be weight…

Ready to be sexy at 45
My husband and I made a bet... if I lose 30 lbs by my birthday (November) he pays for us to go on a cruise. If I dont make my goal, I pay. Either way I get to go on a cruise. Biggest motivation... I want to look good in a bathing suit! 30 lbs in 6 1/2 months?? I can do this!
