Long and Short-term goals?
What is one thing you are doing at this moment that will further your short or long-term goals? I am not stressing and not indulging in all or nothing thinking. (I had a croissant for breakfast. Not in keeping with my short-term goal, but, by not stressing over it and making the rest of the day healthy choices helps to…

Watching the Trend: Maintaining on Low Carb
I gradually have inched my carbs to less that 100g as a goal. Well, slowly over the past month, my set point has crept from 126 to 128. I say trend, because over time while losing I noticed that there is a 2 lb fluctuation, but if you look at the trend line there is a set point. Thursday, I went to the clinic for my…

Fibromyalgia .. and less pain
Many times I've lost down to 149.. and a few times 145lbs .. then inside of a week I was back to 150 and before I knew it 160 became 200 .. Eating less doing more, just didn't work .. because eventually I wasn't eating less and felt too bad to DO anything. I reached my goal weight on 10/27 and have remained below it except…

A Thanksgiving (or other feast) challenge
I propose that instead of getting on MFP and complaining about how stupidly we ate when celebrating with our friends and families we instead comment about what good choice we made at the table. For instance, "Instead of sweet potatoes with brown sugar, butter, pineapple and a mound of marshmallows I had half of a baked…

What about you... do you have a way to beat the diet drink cycle? aspartame gives me…

thank goodness.. I found you
Sigh.. I can't say I like this new design. I am starting this thread so it will show up in "my discussions" which seems to be only threads I started now. I hope you are all well and good.. It is interesting to me how on our little threads, we argue over liquid or powdered sugar alternatives and on the "big board" they have…

Any foodies learning new habits
Today a family member called and asked how I was. I told her that I went shopping and got into a size 6 blah blah.. she said, "Oh I have to go" .. THEN I realized what a dope I am..

2 more lbs to goal ... 2010 to today .. Low Carb Choice
Today, my friend commented that I was wearing the same shirt I had worn in a picture I sent her in June.. "Let's take a picture for before and after" Boy was I shocked at the change. I showed my sweetie, I said "June to today" He said, "June 2013.." I said, "No, this summer.. see San Antonio with the kids." He looked at me…

Milestone reached and a little push to the summit
I have yoyoed all my life and struggled with depression ....yadda yadda yadda... Most of you have been there, unless you're fortunate enough to have had good training and sense to eat right and work out all your life. In 2010 I saw a picture of myself that stopped me dead in my tracks, 210 lbs at 5'3" (if I stand up really…

50+ long term losers, need support with the last 15
Hi, I am over 50 and have yo-yo dieted all of my adult life. In November of 2012, I lost down to where I am right now. My mom died, the pie came out and 30 lbs later, I said.. "Oh no.. we are not doing that again." And began my current trek back down the "healthier me" routine in earnest in May .. One difference in this…

Pilates
I got a groupon and signed up for 5 Pilates classes. The first class went well, and it was arms, but I have to modify a lot because I have bad shoulders. The next day I was a little tight, but ok. I am pretty protective of my shoulder after years of dealing with it. Then Monday was my second class and wow.. I came home and…

One Goal a Day: What's your goal today?
I got started almost two years ago, with one goal a day. First I walked around the block, and the next day I did the same thing... gradually I added on more until I was walking 3 to 5 miles a day. Next goal was to take my lunch to work with me... it worked so well that I did it again, and again.. and now it is a habit to…
