in Introduce Yourself
Hello im somewhat new here.. I used mfp about 2 years ago to loose 20 pounds before I went on vacation to the beach, it worked but I gained it all back afterwards and then some!
Im a bit of a yoyo dieter.. I usually loose about 20 pounds the first 6 months of the year before summer and then gain it all back the second half of the year.. well this year I only lost about 7 and gained even more!
Im 140 now and want to get down to 115 and get rid of the flabbies that ive had since having two kids. I want to feel comfortable in a bikini and not get out of breath so easiy. I am a smoker and am currently working on using electronic cigarettes to quit.
Im looking for friends in similar situations to help make this easier and to get ideas from. I have an elliptical but i really dont use it as much as I should.
Im a stay at home mom, we just bought a house and have been busy trying to get our new home together. We enjoy doing fun things outdoors, fishing, camping, riding 4 wheelers, bonfires, hunting. I also love to cook and try new recipes.
I log in and record my food everyday and my weight every Monday. I want to loose two pounds a week, I only lost 1 this week but I had a few too many mikes hard lemonades this weekend :/
Anyone who wants to be friends can add me :)

    I just can't. All these sideways pictures would drive me crazy or give me a broken neck. I'm sure you'll get lots of friends though. Good luck.

    I cant figure out how to rotate them? They are upright on my phone, then I upload them on here and they turn sideways :(

    I have a idea on how to rotate your photos.
    On your phone go to your photos.
    Hit the EDIT button on the photo.
    Hit the little Rotate button ONCE.
    Hit the SAVE button.
    Try uploading again.
    If upside down hit rotate again
    2 more times and save. :wink:

    Good luck getting your changes through over the coming weeks.
    I too am on an e-cig with flavoured e-liquids. It works a treat and I am 6 weeks in with no desire to buy or use the real things.
    Take your time, your head will tell you when the time is right for you and I wish you every success.
    I am subscribing to Stoptober this year to rubber stamp and make use of the resources available.

    As I say, good luck to you with all your lifestyle changes.

    another way is to send to facebook, facebook will automatically change it and then save it from facebook and then reload here :)

    Sent you a fr, I've been using electric cigarette devices for 3 months now, have not touced a real cigg since. The transition has been pretty easy, compared to other alternatives.

    anyone feel free to add me.
    i quit smoking 3-4 years ago - I actually used herbal cigs, which helped with my cravings for a while.

    I recently added back some poundage since my honeymoon - which i ate and drank pretty much everything in sight, and now trying to get the pre wedding body back, or better

    Perfect! I'm still torn by the fact that you're brandishing a curling iron. Those things hurt when they're hot. You're not going to scald anyone with that are you?
