I feel the same way. Well not about counting calories...that is a MUST...but about the time it and being on this site consumes. I went off for a while becvause of time, and almost immediatly fell back into my bad eat whatever I wanted with no exercise ways. Needless to say, here I am a few months later 10 pounds heavier!!!…

Yes! i don't burn nearly that amount with my exercise...usually around 300, and that's busting my *kitten*. Plus there is the every day stuff like walking extra in parking lots, chasing after/dancing with the kids, cleaning, laundry...I never add those in as I see some people do. The way I look at it is I was probably…

I am in the same boat.. Had a few cheat days, but since i joined MFP 3-4weeks ago I have only lost 3-4 pounds.. And I went from ZERO exercise, to about 4 times a week. I was doing 1200 calories, and met that on most days but a few. I bumped down my sodium, and no changes still. I'm drinking tons of water, and eating…

Yum!!

Thank you! That is awesome! We may just use that and go with something local =)

Try cutting fatty meats, and keep lean unprocessed meats like grilled chicken and fish. I tend to cook more than we need so I'll have it the next day. Foe me, protein seems to curb my hunger longer than empty calories from crackers and stuff. Unless you are trying to go Veg? At any rate, Good luck! No burger! I really…

Wow... Awesome! This is exactly what I was looking for when wanting to "quench my thirst" for knowledge on water. I have heard all or these things before of course, but to actually hear it come from someone who has succeeded in doing what you have, and coming from an x soda junkie (as I presently am), means more than just…

Amazing. The story, your commitment, and your new skinny self!!!!

Ummm I love you for posting this.. 51 calories? Perfect! I'm such a treat lover, and get sick of the same old low cal treats. Thanks for sharing!

Hi! I'm pretty new here too, and love it! I actually go check how many calories and fats I have left before I have dinner. It's awesome. Good luck on your adventure!:bigsmile:

This sounds delish! Im going to print it out now and make it one of these days. YUM!

Opps...i swore and the site blocked it... Well complaint sessions I'll call it :wink:

Thanks guys. Loosing weight is something my husband just doesn't understand, and never will. Hes always bee very active, played sports in college, eats a mega high carb and calorie diet with tons of processed foods, and maintains a certain weight. Needless to say he is not the one I need to be talking to regarding the…

Hi. I, along with others, can't imagine how the emotional strain would effect my well being. It's good to see your marriage held strong, and have 2 little loves to lighten up your days. I was just diagnosed with spinal arthritis, and I'm only 32. it's mild at this point, but I know that losing weight is a must, because i…

I agree with spacemarcus. I don't like the wasted time of driving to the gym and back. That extra time could ne used working out more or just added to your day. Exercising at home is a more time smart, and greener way to get fit. I have joined a few gyms and have mostly never gone as well, and I know now it's because of…

Hi! I'm new here too, and have a 9 year old and a 2 year old. We CAN do this! I have a car, but when I join gyms i just plain ol don't go... I do better at home on my tred mill, walking with the stroller, or doing videos at home. Good luck! Add me =)

Hi! I just joined yesterday and am looking for some positive friends with good tips as well. I am a 32 year old nurse, and Mom of a 9 year old and a 2.5 year old. I guess after 2.5 years it's really time to stop using the "baby" as an excuse. =P I also need to stop blaming my husbands snacking habits as my own and get…

Hola! I just joined this site yesterday, and am kind of annoyed I didn't know about it earlier! It's great! I am a 32 year old nurse, mom of 2, with a husband who loves to snack. Not that that's any kind of excuse...I don't have any excuse to be the size that I am either... I am an x pack a day smoker, and am now down to 1…
