The 2011 Goal
So I told myself at the beginning of the year that I was going to drop 52 pounds. Unfortunately I fell far off course and didn't even start to focus on that goal until early November. by then I had gained another 12 pounds, meaning I have to lose 64 to reach my goal. That's the bad news. The good news is that I've been…

General help questions
Hi, I've been having a few questions about what is appropriate to enter in your journal in terms of exercise. I'm a college student, and my only forms of exercise are walking to class and bowling (multiple times a week). I have my profile set as sedentary (spend most of the day sitting). Should I enter the time I spend…

A better way to look at things (my motto for 2011)
I noticed something pretty interesting today. My current weight minus my goal is 52 pounds. That sounds pretty intimidating. But then I looked at it in a different light: there are 52 weeks in a year. So I have a new motto for 2011. 52 weeks, 52 pounds. Losing one pound per week doesn't sound intimidating at all. In fact,…

My New year's Resolution
So this is probably the 3rd time I've decided to give this a try. I did when i hit 200, then again when i hit 220, and now i'm at 227, and really don't want to let it get any higher.

prepackaged low-calorie meals

Low-Calorie drink that's actually good
First I'd like to apologize, because I'm sure this has already been posted somewhere, but I just discovered this and wanted to share with the MFP community. Gatorade (Lemon-Lime) has only 130 calories per 20 oz bottle. For people like me who can't stand diet soda, and can only drink so much Crystal Light, Gatorade offers a…

Giving it a shot.
Well...where to start... I'm a freshman in college. I'm a 5'8" 220lb male and I'm trying not to fall into the trap that has caught so many already. Thankfully I'm in college so I walk a few miles to/from class every day. My current goal is 170, but if I'm lucky enough to get near it I plan on lowering that even more.…
