What a difference a meal makes
I skipped breakfast this morning because I ran out of time and didn't have anything that was easy to eat on the road in a snowstorm when I was already late. Boy, what a mistake. I am having sugar cravings tonight, and I haven't really had them in a while. At least they're not as bad as they have been. Tomorrow, I will make…

Anyone else dealing with a separation?
I committed myself to making healthier changes as of the first of the year, then my husband and I separated on the 2nd. While I usually turn to food when I'm upset, I decided to not let this get in my way. I struggled through crazy emotions from the separation while going through caffeine withdrawl from quitting pop. I've…

How can I figure the calories burn for an activity not in th
I want to enter some walking that I did while pulling a wagon. I can't find anything that I feel would be really comparable in the database. Pushing or pulling a stroller would probably be the closest thing, but it says I burned less calories than if I just entered walking 3.0 mi/hr. I was pulling my 2 kids (80+ lbs…

Exercise bike or real bike: opinions wanted!
I would like to add in a new exercise--biking! I haven't been on a bike in many years, so I'm a little scared. I am debating between an exercise bike or a real outdoor bike for right now, but I'm not sure what would be better to start off with. I do not have a ton of money to spend (somewhere around $100). I'm thinking of…

From obese to marathoner?
Is there anyone here who has gone from being very obese (like 100+ lbs overweight) to running a marathon? One of my goals is to run a marathon by the time I'm 35 (2 1/2 years from now), but I am at least 100 lbs overweight. I don't currently run, but I'm going to start. If you have gone from being obese to running a…

How can I make pasta more filling?
On occasion, I eat pasta for dinner with my boys. I love it, so I don't really want to skip it, especially since it's only once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't find it very filling, and it also makes me want to eat bad stuff later. Does anyone have any tips to make the pasta more satisfying/filling and keep away the…

Realizations and tribulations
I'll admit it, I am obsessed with the scale. I get on there several times a day, just to see how certain things affect my weight. The only one I pay any attention to is my morning weigh-in, and even then I don't freak out about differences. Still, I like to know what the number is, otherwise it starts to creep back up.…

Just a rant
This is by no means important and will not help anyone (except me because I get to vent) but I really hate the day before we go grocery shopping!!! We are down to nothing that seems even remotely appetizing. I know there is stuff here, but it's not appealing, not even a little bit. Okay, all done, time to go throw together…

Just saying hi
I joined this site about 2 weeks ago and have done a combination of lurking and completely ignoring the site. I am bigger than I've ever been right now, and I am not happy about it. i have successfully lost decent amounts of weight before, between 30-40 lbs, but things got in the way and here I am again. I know that i can…
