Bought a used car for my boyfriend and then found out he was using it to see another woman. That's why he's an ex.

It was a huge leap of faith for me but it actually worked

If you did it once, you can certainly do it again. it's easy to 'fall off track'. I don't have time for negative people and try to eliminate them from my life. good luck.

5' 2 and a half" - I agree, that extra half inch is important.

I had to "start again" at 43. Nothing is forever anyway.

Thanks. I really needed this. I have started eating more (not alot more but still more) and am so terrified to backslide. Your timing couldn't have been more perfect.

If I don't work out, I feel waaayyy worse. I find it helps my cramps.

Eyes and then smile

I have 3 kids - 1 in University and 2 teens. My ex doesn't pay child support and does not support my University student. I need to be very careful with my money and choose how to spend it. I shop at a discount grocery store and rarely eat out. My clothes come from the local second hand store and my kids choose to buy their…

Every day is a new day to get it right. Don't think about all the weight you have to lose, think more about one day at a time. Small steps. Keep moving forward....every day. Success breeds success

I shop at a store that does not even accept coupons because their prices are low. There is me and my 2 teens and I spend under $80/week. I stock up on items when they are on sale and I buy mostly no name items although there are a few exceptions.

Voluptuous (or I prefer 'fluffy") woman can be very active. But it's not the package that counts....it's what's in the package.

You have such a beautiful smile. You and your hubby look so happy and your kids are adorable. Have you considered seeking counselling - perhaps you are experiencing some depression

Welcome and good luck on your journey : )

Welcome to MFP. I live in Barrie and have also just recently joined. Good luck on your journey :)

Welcome. I am also 48 and recently joined MFP. I have about 30 lbs to lose. Used to live in Australia as a child - in Toowoomba about 80kms inland from Brisbane. I often wonder how my life would have turned out if my family had stayed in Australia. Good luck on your journey and feel free to friend me.

Good for you. I have also tried to keep track and log food manually but I love that I can just input what I eat and it calculates carbs and fat too

Check out Dr Oz on Monday. He is having a whole show abbout weight loss and one of the things he answers is the best time to work out and the best time to weigh yourself

YES, most definately. Your mini love handles are gone!! Good work

I am a busy single mom of 3 kids who also works full time. The trick I have found is to plan ahead. Can you cook on the weekends and freeze stuff in portion size? Try taking 10 minutes before bed to get your food together for the next day so that you can just grab and go the next morning. I really need to plan my meals and…

I also wondered this and have stopped logging my exercise and just log my food. I note my exercise in the Food Notes section. I just think it's bonus weight loss (fingers crossed)
