I have been a stay at home mom for 9 years. I went back to school and graduated in June. I just got a job on Thursday...so, I can officially call myself a Sonographer (Ultrasound)! I'm so excited to go back to work!

Lately my favorite has been Healthy Choice fudge bars. They are 100 calories, decent size, taste good and have 5 grams of fiber to fill you up. Plus, Costco sells a big box! I'm going to get one right now!:happy:

I (re-started) MFP on Jan. 1st, but didn't find your post until today. I hope it's not too late to join. Screen Name: Kelhun1 Starting Weight (On January 1st 2011): 195.8 Goal by July 1st, 2011 (can be more than 50 lbs, whatever you wish for): I would like to lose at least 50 lbs. Why do you want to lose 50+ pounds?: I…

I do not have CFS, but I have very similar symptoms. I have been diagnosed with Mitochondrial Myopathy. I have exercise intolerance, but unfortunately I do not realize I'm doing damage until it's too late. I get awful "pinging" in my glutes and hamstrings for hours, like someone is stabbing me with a little knife. If I…

This is the easiest thing I have found and my family loves it. Actually, we had it tonight. Shredded BBQ Chicken: Pour a can of chicken broth in the crockpot. Toss in a TBS or so of chopped garlic and a couple shakes of pepper. Toss in a package of fresh chicken breasts (usually 1-2 pounds). I usually buy them when they…

Please add me as well. I'm re-starting my relationship with my fitness pal. I've had great success with MFP in the past...unfortunately, when I quit the pounds creep on. :( I guess I really need the support. Thanks for starting up the group. I think it's just what I need to get going again.

Wow, there certainly are some strong opinions. I just started taking alli this week and I thought I would check in to see what others have experienced. I am wondering why there seems to be so much anger towards people who are trying other options. I've done my homework and this is the reason I am taking alli: I have a form…

Hello all! I am glad to see so many of you still here. I apologize for being on hiatus...it is time for me to get serious again. I had a major mental set back. I asked for a new scale for Christmas, which my dear mother in law got me. Unfortunately, it weighs me (and everyone else) at about 5% heavier! It was like I gained…

I think it's usually cardio that will keep you up...maybe you could do some free weights or some stretching to tide you over til tomorrow.

Not kidding about the toilet seat. He actually broke it a couple of weeks ago when I was out of town. :noway: I think he was desperate for something else to get me this year, and since I seemed to like it so much...he was going to get me a new one. He ended up replacing the blender he broke instead. I also got a new crock…

Soup, send me your address. Perhaps I can pass on some of my treasures. According to my son it doesn't matter what my husband gets me, I return it. I'm sure this comment came from his dad...but I don't know what they are talking about! :noway: I have used the garbage can and the toilet seat that I got last year…

Hello Lu, Welcome! I too am a hula hoop master! My family all makes fun of me, but I have won many a contest. I can go for hours. The funny thing is, I keep a hoop in my bedroom closet and when my sister went in there to borrow a shirt...she came out all red faced. She thought it was for something kinky :laugh: Now, I…

Congratulations! I think that is a very healthy outlook. I don't feel guilty anymore when I choose to indulge in something other than "diet" food...because I choose to enjoy it, I don't spiral out of control. My old mentality was "well, since I screwed up and ate three cookies, I might as well go ahead and eat the whole…

Freakishly warm and muggy for this time of year. I'm in Cincinnati and it's 66 degrees. I was all ready to bundle up in my parka when my husband walked in in a t-shirt. I'm still gonna wear a jacket, but wow...it does not feel like December here! (I, for one am happy!)

Hello ladies, Hope you all have had a good week. We all had a stomach virus. My son lost 3 pounds, my husband lost 2 and I lost ZERO! Makes me think of that diet pill commercial with the cartoon couple. I have finally gotten my sick child and husband out of the house, so I can douse it Clorox. I've been making my special…

It took me forever to figure out what an avitar was...now you're telling me there is an abbreviation for it??? I have got to find a dictionary of english to texting/e-mailing abbreviations. I feel like a dinosaur! BTW (I know that one), great idea about the virtual buddy! I think it's probably better than the real…

How scary, I am so sorry to hear that! He is definitely in my prayers...as are you! Please don't forget to take care of the caregiver!

Hello All, Big party last night, so I am just rolling out of bed. DH took son to 9 am basketball practice :love: and I got to sleep in. I didn't do so bad with the party food (ate a lot of veggies and cocktail shrimp plus one killer chocolate truffle) , but I didn't do so well at the mexican restaurant that we went to…

Hello ladies, Hope everyone had a wonderful day. Welcome 1Corinthians13! It's a very new group, so you are coming in at the right time. I apologize for not checking in earlier, I have been tying to get my computer to move faster than a snail and thankfully, it's finally cooperating. It's 12:30 pm here so I'm going to…

I'm a natural blonde and I actually got the joke! :laugh: Although, it's only because my name is Susan...I just wanted you to know Kevin and I have kept in touch....

December is a very tough month to lose weight. Too many parties, goodies and guilt. I think I will be thrilled if I just maintain. Hope you feel better Ranae...nothing worse than trying to get in the holiday spirit when all you want to do is crawl in bed.

Well, everyone wish me luck. I have had several requests for my famous carmel corn mix (has mixed nuts, m&ms, bugels, pretzels, ect.) So, I am going to attempt to make it for all my son's teachers and for the 2 parties we are going to this weekend...the trick is not to nibble on the ingredients or the final product! This…

I put in my 20 votes for Ed (have 2 email accounts). I got a bit nervous towards the end. I'll kick myself if he beats Michelle. :grumble: You know he drank a bunch of water tonight before weigh in...so actually he will have 2 weeks worth of weight loss at the finals. I just wish I knew how those twisted little minds…

I know what everyone is saying sounds opposite of what you think of dieting. When I used to go into diet mode it was always 1200 or less and even then I struggled to lose weight. I have been following the guidelines here since Halloween (survived a 10 lb bag of candy, Thanksgiving and 2 weekend getaways)...and I have lost…
-
Heba would kill Ed if he lost in the finals...that's why he knew it was better to let her have the position. Unfortunately, they still have the prize (food prepared for them) so they are both in a pretty good position to compete. BTW, do they know going into the finals next week which one is competing? Or do they both have…

I don't understand it, you are beautiful! I would much rather see clothes that fit real people than try and imagine what an outfit would look like on woman vs. a clothes hanger....because really some of these models are so thin that is all they are. Search the MFP topic skinny models and go down to #18 "Maybe you should…

I'm back from my girl's weekend in Chicago. I had a wonderful time. Ate at some amazing restaurants, saw Wicked and shopped the Magnificent Mile. More importantly, after spending the weekend with 6 women and watching their different struggles with body image (one has lost over 160 lbs and still is unhappy)...I feel more…
