    kpopa, I have the same issue with eating after lunch. And after dinner. I just don't seem to feel full. I think about food. It's like an obsession. Any activities to help with this? Count me in. :flowerforyou:

    Okay, I'm not very computer literate. I'm new to the site and can't seem to navigate very well. I found the link to our awesome new blog on the topics page, but once I go to the blog page on the site, I don't know how to find it. I'm afraid I'm going to lose the link. Can anyone help? Thanks

    Count me in as well! No excuses for my weight gain except stress, work, and not doing what I should be doing ... oh and a few too many cocktails!

    Sounds like a plan....I don't have any kids to blame this weight on but myself. :bigsmile:

    I need all the help I can get

    Hi, thanks for including the link again. It makes it easy to find. However, I want to figure out how to get directly to it. It seems I should be able to make it a feed, but do not know how. I will see if I have a friend who can show this to me. Okay, now you all know what an dork I am. :-)

    hey everyone! hope you've had a nice hump day! i can't believe tomorrow is thursday already! i think the easiest way to keep up with the blog is to subscribe to it. now, i've never subscribed to a blog here before, so i'm kind of guessing, but i'm assuming that if you do, you will receive a notification with any updates. is that right? it seems like it should be.

    i really want to get on board with taking measurements too! let's all give it a go, at least once a month. i am going to start on friday, the first day of october and my birthday! too cool. i'm going to take some ibuprofen and head to bed. i busted and landed on my bum today in bosu class - my ankle turned and it is still giving me some grief. but i reckon i'll be ready to go to tomorrow's workout after i sleep it off! 'til next time!

    I made a spark team that looks more organized if anyone wants to check it out.

    we can post the weigh ins on here though still or something to keep this thread active.

    after looking at the sparkpage let me know what u think

    below is the link to it

    I think that is a great idea. I too struggle with the gym and exercise but my goal is to hit the gym at least 4 times next.

    Morning ladies, and possibly gentlemen....i completed another workout last night, that's three days in a row! my goal is 4 but i'm hoping to do 5. I have to admit i'm feeling a little beat up and tired today...my legs are killing me! i ate like i've never seen food yesterday and came in 150 calories below my maximum...which isn't to bad for me...the secret is a bowl of cereal as a bedtime snack...it helped put another 150 calories onto my chart. I also asked the super hot guy at the gym if he eats back his calories and he said yes and then some...but he's ripped and beautiful so i wouldn't suggest eating more than your budget...Monday is my weigh and measure day so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i'll see some sort of difference. Have a great day!

    hi everyone! hope your day is going well so far! back from the gym with psycho lady - my term of endearment for our crazy instructor! she is nice, encouraging and scary all rolled into one! but when we're in her classes, she is so involved it feels like personal training, and she won't let you give up. she rocks, and today's workout was insane. i know i blasted a ton of calories!

    just wanted to let everyone know today's blog is up if you haven't seen it yet. we're throwing out gems (successes) and deltas (thing to work on) for the month of september since today is the last day of it! can you believe?! if you're interested in following challenges and such, you can subscribe to it. here's the link again:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/chanstriste13

    our first official challenge will start monday...i'm hearing a lot of clamor for good recipes and 'keep me accountable for working out', so we'll probably go along those lines for our first. have a fabulous day and make sure you sweat! ~stacy

    I want to join. Already posted on the blog, but I didn't want to lose this thread.

    My name is Erica. I'm trying to get in shape and tone up my jiggly bits. I lost 4 pounds in my first month on MFP and hope to lose an additional 6 or at least gain some muscle. I am trying to become a mom, but as I've been doing that for 9 months with no results, I'll just join this group until that happens.

    Actual SW: 146?
    SW when joining MFP: 139.9
    CW: 135.8
    GW: 130
