I am active and always here to talk and provide support. We can be MFP friends. 😀 Keep it up. You are doing awesome!

Looking for more friends here too. I am only on day 4 but I do a lot of posts.

Whoa...in a year?! How is that possible. You are my inspiration!

It sounds like you need to love yourself more and stop worrying about others. There are actually many self help books that could get you there. Quick Google search will help you find them. You cannot change her behavior and I don't think you want her walking on eggshells around you because of your feelings. No one can…

Need new friends here too!

I also need friends. I have always gone at this alone. Hoping if I get more involved with others and post more than I will stay on track. Would love more friends!

I may be the only parent who just tells my kid to do as I asked. Sometimes it is a gight and sometimes not. I give my kid a lot of room to be an individual and independent but I also am his parent. If I want him outside I tell him to go outside. I give him a list of stuff he can do but he needs to be active. He needs to go…

Ok so this might be different but instead of listening to music when I workout I have been listening to YouTube motivational workout videos from people like Billy allsbrooks. I just accidentally came by it one day and it has changed how motivated I am to workout. When I listened to music before I would be able to do 10…

I like beards. I am not attracted to men without them. Not sure why that is but I instantly double look when a guy has a beard. I do like them maintained but I can't say that I don't love my SO' s Wildman look in the winter.

Yep, almost at my '100 left to lose mark'. Just a couple more lbs to go and I will officially only have 100 more lbs to lose. Lol.
-
Never heard of this but I know I am motivated by certain things. My two biggest are money and food. I don't mind buying new clothes but it isn't a big motivation. Instead I put a $1 in a jar every day that the scale says less than the day before. That money is my daily motivation. It means at the end I have some extra…

Staying serious is super hard. Everyone offers advise on your weight loss but no one specifically tells you how to keep that mindset. You have to find what works for you. Some ppl need an accountability partner, some need a partner who is more in control and will make us do it, others need to be in control and that is what…

I am right there with you. I do most of the cooking. No offense to anyone else that say "make them cook" but each family is different. In my family the "mom" cooks 90% of the time. That is true when I am at home or we are all at my aunt's/mom's house. It is a cultural and comfort thing. Anyway, back to the matter at hand.…

I tried IF but found if I don't consume something every couple hours I start to shake really bad and feel faint. This happens even if I eat 2k calories in a day. I am not diabetic so I find it to be really strange. Because of this I haven't been able to do anything like IF..best of luck to you!
-
nope but I would like to add friends to my garmin not sure how to yet though
-
I don't know how anyone else does it because I tried for a whole month setting a routine, same time to go to sleep, same time getting up. My alarm clock is across the room, all my clothes set out, and I did it for a whole month. I am a horrible morning person. Well after a month I decided to stop because I was soooo tired…

great posts everyone. I love it! I thought of another one..I never thought I could say no to cookies...yummy gooey delicious cookies. I have beat you soft melt in your mouth round delicious treats :p
-
wow you and I are about the same. I am 27 5'2 and somewhere between 230-240 (I am not checking for a couple of weeks). I have zero balance after my kid so I will not even attempt yoga, I will definitely hurt myself. I mostly have been walking, I walk in the morning then to work and after work. I never thought I would say…
-
Ok maybe I am different from the others on here because some of the responses are just harsh. I agree you should do it from yourself 100% but I also think that is perfectly ok to be disappointed in the fact that your best friend doesn't seem to care. I wouldn't expect any of my just regular friends to care, to be honest I…
-
congrats! OMG such a transformation! You look great.

I was wondering about this too. I do about 10k steps now a day but I walk to work, work a desk job, but get up to move, and walk at lunch. What should I be set at? Right now I have sedentary because I sit at a desk all day. I don't log any extra exercise for these steps.
-
TOM..mine is horrible. Like horrible I curl up, want to die, puke all the time, and can't eat for days. Movement of any kind hurts like hell and I can't use tampons(sorry TMI). This is one TOM I will not work out at all. But I am an unusual severe case. I also hate running...severely hate it. So I walk and do other cardio.
-
Hi, well your initial 3lbs was definitely water weight. You did NOT gain 1.5lbs in one day. Weight is not linear..you will not lose every single day you step on the scale. If you go through and read some of the daily weight ppl (those who step on the scale everyday) you will notice a trend. they will say one day lost 2lbs…
-
that depends on you. some ppl do great 'cheating' every once in a while. and by 'cheating' I mean eating at maintenance and still logging everything not eating 4k cals over your deficit in one day. I have seen enough ppl on here who are successful and had mini breaks throughout. I know from experience that I cannot have a…

I haven't gotten there yet but this is one I am waiting for -the moment when my hubby goes to grab my back fat (affectionately) and it isn't there anymore! I CAN'T WAIT for this moment. It doesn't hurt my feelings he does it cuz he does it with love but inside I cringe because I feel fat.
-
hmmm food. just eating until I am beyond stuffed. and Milk..it is a trigger food. one sip and suddenly I am downing the WHOLE gallon. Reading, I don't get as much time anymore because I am spending so much time planning and cooking. these are things I missed the first time and I am starting to miss again in my second round…
-
I concur to please not focus on losing weight while pregnant. It didn't seem like it with your second post but I just wanted to jump right out there and say it. You are growing a little you in there and that takes a lot of work not to mention good food ;) . Now to the wedding, I would personally go and if she grabs you…
-
day 2 for me too. well my second time around. But I started anew and I am on day 2. I feel exactly the same way..i am eyeing my co-workers cookie but I know if I eat even a bite I will eat the WHOLE thing..so very hard but we can do it.
-
Keep up the great work. it sounds like the 30 min walk is really pushing you which is fantastic, just be cautious not to overdo it. You will know when you hit that point. Start with that for the week. see how you feel after, and set goals for yourself. Start with the 1 mile this week and maybe next week add another .25…

I have to completely stop any trigger foods. That would be Milk(not really a food but one of my main triggers, peanut butter and chocolate( yes together), chocolate and caramel (again..together), and chips. I cannot have any of these otherwise it snowballs...terribly. I eat on little tiny peanut butter cup and suddenly I…
