First step... get to know each other!
Hi everyone! It's me again, my name is Brenda and I am so glad that we all have found this group! A little about me; I am 31, a wife and mother of three little kids, I am a stay at home Mom, a cancer survivor, and much to my dismay..... I am overweight! I guess that is putting it kindly. I have at least 80 pounds to lose,…

Accountability.....
Who's looking for a little more accountability?! Well, I know that I sure as hell am because girls..... I NEED it! I weigh in on Wednesdays. You didn't see an update in my feed because MFP is kind enough not to say "MeAfter30 gained all her weight back, she sucks!" LOL! So here's what I am thinking... a weekly weigh in for…
Baby step of the week, what's yours?
This week starting Sunday I am going to make my next baby step goal to be really concentrating on getting in my minimum 8 glasses of water. I think i have the food journaling down comfortably, i write everything I eat, the good, the bad, and the ugly. What is your next baby step goal or what are you currently focusing on…
Hello
Good Morning from TX. This is my second day on the site and I am still learning all its potential. I see that most of the folks on this site are mothers however I hope you all will be ok with my joining even though i do not have children. I have 50 pds to lose and need an avenue in which I can share with others as I take…
Today's plan?
So what's everyone's plan/goal for today? I was very bad yesterday (600 calories over), so today I'm trying to have an extra healthy day to make up for it. I want to burn at least 600 calories with my cardio today as well. I usually eat my exercise cals, but I think today and tomorrow I'll only eat half, so I'll burn off…
What to do when you are tempted by ?
I know everyone has something that tempts to derail their hard work. Do you have tips for how to deal with what tempts you? For me I have a major sweet tooth. I don't usually keep the stuff I can't resist in the house unless I have planned it into my day. If my kind and naturally slender, gym loving husband brings home…

Still learning how to eat right baby step
I am still far from an ideal eater when it comes to my day. I have been steadily losing and getting close to or under my calorie goal but I know when I look at what I ate for the day I maybe had too much protein, bread, not enough dairy or veggies. I was looking through the https://www.choosemyplate.gov site and their…
My baby steps are so small...babies outrun me lol
I am still sorting out exactly what my initial goals should be for me. I started with writing every bite and have been doing pretty great. The only time I lost focus on that goal was when my older brother had a heart attack and I flew down to spend my days at his bedside in the hospital. Even while I was there I took great…
Weekly Meal Plans
Each Sunday I spend the day cooking, prepping, getting ready for the week ahead. I do much better when I have food ready to grab and go, instead of having to come home and cook each night. I also dont mind eating the same thing for a few days in a row, so it works for me. Today I am making pumpkin chili for lunches, fajita…
