Hi everyone. So I finally found us a place to live! Thank god. The last week has been so crazy. Hard to work out or eat good in an unfamiliar town.

To make the stress worse, just found out my mom is going into major surgery on the 19'th. And my sister tried to overdose on pills! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

So now I have a bad cold from all the stress. On the up side, it'll be easier to keep my calories down - not too hungry.

If I can just hold on 'till March, it'll all get better. 

So we get to move for my husband's job. Found out yesterday, that we have to be out of this place by the 29'th! Nice of them to give us so much notice. Still not sure where we are going, hope they tell us soon.

I strained my back packing, so that means no workout today. We'll see if I can tomorrow. Do you guys think I should cut back on calories if I can't workout for a few days? I really don't want to gain it back. 

Remember you'll actually feel worse  if you splurge. You'll have spent both calories and money you don't have.

You're right about how things just seem to work out. Just keep looking for solutions, and one will present itself.

Some things I've done before, are pick up some overtime, or ask a credit card if I can make a partial payment this one month. All else fails, Top Ramen, rice, and beans are all really cheap.

This is the razor both my husband and father-in-law love. A bit expensive, but they both have thick hair so they needed a high quality one. Plus it's self cleaning! A bonus because you don't have to clean it, and it doesn't wear out as fast.

Hi everybody! Guess what? I've lost a total of 6 pounds!!! Yay me! Finally all my work is paying off. 

Mezzo - It's ok. 400 calories once isn't that bad. You stopped at that - good job.

P.S. I know your advice was to others, but I wanted to tell you it helped me too. : )

Calbert - Awesome job!!! Both the Gym and calorie controll.

Dragoncomet00 - Good luck. Congrats on starting the gym! I personally try to go to the gym 5 days a week - but even twice makes a big difference if you havn't been doing it. Just be sure if you lift weights to alternate - do half of your body one day the other half the next. For some reason it's better for muscle building, and you won't get as sore.

Kinda unusual, but I had undiagnosed serious asthma. I just always thought I was out of shape. I was always dizzy and exhausted for hours after a workout. 

Now, With my inhaler and regular medicine, I can breathe! Funny how useful that is. So it might be worth asking you doc if you could have exercise-induced asthma? 

Oooo me too! Can I join.

I'm 25, 5'7", 187 lbs (down 4 lbs from starting here on Jan 8) 

I'm definately an emotional eater. I used to do the bored eating but I've learned to get busy and stay out of the kitchen. However, when I'm upset, the fridge calls to me like a siren. 

I'm married to a wonderful man who can eat anything he wants and still lose weight. Seriously - we have to work to keep his weight high enough!!! AAAAGGGGHHH! Some days I kinda hate him -but he's my soulmate. So it's a challenge to have enough high calorie foods for him in the house without me eating them when I'm upset. He's started stashing the worst culprits at the office and thats helped.

Sorry to rant so much. Thanks for listening. 

Hi I fall into the EDNOS category. I'm 25, 5'7" and 187.5 lbs. I'm here to sanely lose weight - Yes I discussed with my Dr.

I realized I needed help when I started dreaming about purging. Right now, I'm being very good. I have to have a high and low allowed callories per day, but I'm doing it!

Anyway, I'm hoping to find a buddy who is also trying to recover from this disease to help me stay on the wagon.
