My son found out he could spin around today, and also that he enjoys being dizzy lol he's only 17 months and laughed soooo hard after spinning around and trying to walk straight LOL

You can do it!! Keep to it and push through it!!

Enjoys riding donkeys Likes sunny places Knows how to have a good time lol

Emotional eating is really hard! I have depression and anxiety and have struggled with emotional eating as well most of my life. Don't ever give up though! Food is just as much as an addiction as alcohol or drugs but it's even harder with food because you need it to live, you just have to be strong and find a balance. I…

If you are eating only 1200 calories a day and burning more then you actually think you are, that would end up being an issue for your body because it will start to hold on to fat and burn muscle instead (it would save the fat in case of emergency's) sometimes if we are not feeding our body enough, and don't actually have…

I would have to say my biggest concern is not reaching my goal weight by next April, I know I've already come far, but when you set a goal and work really hard to meet that goal and don't make it, especially with weight loss it is beyond a huge disappointment. I am trying not to worry about not meeting my goal though…

You need to weigh your food out, that's the only way you will know for sure if you are eating what you think your eating!! If that doesn't work then try going to the doctor to see if there is something underlying going on that could be affecting your weight loss efforts. I wish you lots of luck!!!

Wow all of your stories brought me a smile and some almost to tears because I can relate!! For me it hit when a week or so Into April of this year I was going to have to start planning my sons 1st birthday party and I hate to admit it but I was dreading it....I was 252 pounds and I was sooo weak and sooo winded and had…

How wonderful!!! Congratulations everyone!! Such amazing accomplishments!! My mom has always said nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels!!! There are still days (when I have a craving) where I don't believe that LOL but all in all I have to agree with that saying lol

Well I have a constant calorie deficit so no worries there lol

Figured as much, thanks for your reply lol just wanted to reach out and see if anyone on MFP had any experience with it ;)

It's really mostly dependent on your age, merely because the younger you are the more likely your skin is to snap mostly back into place. It also depends on how much you are doing toning exercise while trying to lose weight, I go back and forth between cardio and toning exercise's to try and help some of my stretched skin.

I'm not sure what it does that's why I am asking if anyone has every used it, so I can gain some knowledge about it......

So exciting to hear so much success!! I started out at 252 19 weeks ago and can happily say I have hit 208 as of last Saturday!! My goal is to be 198 by the end of September!!!!

I know what it's called, I just prefer to call it wonder land because most people are feeling quite "wonderful" when they get there

Lol glad I could help lol

It's merely a matter of going into your goals on MFP and switching it to ami rain weight, then if you click back to your diary it will show you the calories needed to maintain your weight, slash 500-1000 off of that number as long as it isn't under 1200 calories a day. Then go back to your goals and set your goal based on…

Well I know everyone has bowel movements, I meant does anyone have an increased amount of bowel movements during their menses. I'm curious merely because I have heard some women have constipation, and some the exact opposite.

No I was talking about going number two lol I would never douche, because I have heard horror stories

I myself am anemic and have a very very heavy flow, I have always had issues with feeling tired and weak but I still do my workouts, just maybe not as hard when I'm on my period. I notice my flow actually picks up quite abit while I'm working out so I have to have extra protection....lol

Sorry if TMI for anyone, but do any of you girls "clean out" during your periods??

You can do it!!

I've also noticed that I pee like crazy during my menses which I never used to do either lol. Just crazy how the female body changes after having a child!!

Yeah I have pretty consistently been gaining about two pounds the week that I am supposed to be fertile, but I never had water weight gain during ovulation until several months after I had my son. I now get water weight gain during ovulation instead of my period lol it's flip flopped lol

500-1000 lol

You need to go into your goal settings on MFP and hit maintain weight, then check and see what the calorie sugestion is for maintaining your weight, after that slash 500 to 100 off the calories it says you need to maintain as long as it is not under 1200 per day. You should start losing weight after that!!

That's a great one emily3907, I'm surely going to keep that in mind!!! Thanks for sharing

If I remember correctly, I lost 9 pounds my first month ;)
