:smile: No shame! That's the great thing about MFP! I find alot of us are 'starting over again.' Good Luck!

I have tried FIRM videos...actually there's not many I have tried...and although I'm a lot uncoordinated I think you would have to be a trained dancer to follow these videos. Now I love, love, love Leslie Salsone...not sure if I got the last name right and I'm not home right now...but she does the Walk Away the Pounds…

I understand what your saying. I'm an eater BUT sometimes I would snack on unhealthy things throughout the day and have a huge plate at dinner, no real meals--or something of that effect--when I started Atkins (which I don't recommend) a few years back I had to teach myself to eat...eat something...breakfast doesn't have…

8-8oz glasses...I find that a liter is more than enough...Aquafina sells their water in liters I usually buy a couple...and then refill them up at work as I don't like tap water and they have the water coolers ;-)

Totally Awesome--10 all the way!!! Question: Have you lost all 149lbs while using MFP...INSPIRATIONAL!!!!

I totally agree...I don't see the point in exercising if your going to eat the calories back. Hey, I'm with you on this one.

I don't think theres a woman out there that doesn't know how you feel. As cliched as it seems the best way to get over an old love is to get a new love. I didn't read anything in your post to suggest you had seen someone after your breakup. They say don't open a new door before you close another, but that door has been…

I know exactly how you're feeling. It's like you just wake up and wonder when did this happen, I know I fit into these jeans just last month. Anyway, a healthy weight is the best bet because you'll keep it off longer...Good luck!

Thanks...I'm gonna try the link you provided and see if I can get some coupons and free samples...I love coupons...so you know I have to be crazy for free samples!

Otherwise: I prefer MultiGrain Cheerios...they taste great! and with the slight difference in nutritional value (calories, sugar) I think it's well worth the switch. But if you like regular cheerios no problem then maybe you should stick with it, don't try to fix what's not broken. But variety keeps a dieter on check...I…

Welcome to MFP I think you will find it very helpful....I have. When your counting calories theres nothing like having everything right at your fingertips...and the people are lovely and it's like the biggest support group you could ever join!

Using a natural phsyllium fiber will help with that problem. I suffer from irregularity also. A scoop in at least 8oz of water after breakfast and the same mixture before bed. Also, you want to make sure that you drink plenty of water...even increasing your fiber intake with fruits and veggies can have an adverse effect if…

Do to a suggestion from brightlightkatie I have made my diary public, thanks brightlightkatie.

Resistance training is just as important as cardio if not more. However, keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat so, depending on how much your exercising, you could be gaining lots of muscle....which will help burn the fat and is a good thing. People pay way too much attention to the scales...I'm one of them...but I…

I've just gone through the same thing...April 30 was my son's birthday....so of course I had pizza, cake, and ice cream. Something you might want to look up, a lot of weight loss sites say that changing your calorie intake will send a jolt to your metabolism and actually help you loose weight! When your body gets use to a…

You go girl! It is amazing how much each pound lost makes you feel that much better...here's to feeling better all the time!

I don't think there's anything that can be done about it, at least you know your not retaining a lot of water. Bright side if you need one, it will get you trained for when you concieve :smile:

Oh ok...I understand. I was pregnant with my third in 2007, I lost him at about 4 months. Then we asked the doctor about trying again and he said that it might be wise if I lost weight, for more than just getting pregnant, but that was also included. The sad part about it is that I was about 185lbs then and I'm almost…

You Go Gurl! I hope I'm as successful as you've been...

Do you own a petal bike? I've been thinking about getting one myself and I'm a little skeptical.

I've had the same problem. For five years I worked in a convience store and when it wasn't busy I just didn't seem to do much. Now I work at the front desk of a motel and it's hardly ever busy and I sit here and watch tv most of the time. Let's just say I've gained quite a bit in my year and a half working hear. Drink Cold…

Oh yeah, and I've read and heard a 100 times over that your body will burn an extra 120+ calories a day just by drinking 64oz or more of ice cold water...the body burns they calories by heating the water up to 98.6 degrees.

Hey Awill4225, First if you can get a comment on how to lose 20lbs a week healthy please send it my way. You might want to make a smoothie with your protien powder, you can use it as a meal replacement and I would do it for breakfast, so that might be before your workout. Once you finish with the one you have you might…

Hey Caymarks.... Congradulations on your baby...is this your first. How old is the baby? I have 2, but they aren't babies anymore....a boy 11, and a girl 7. I have two stepdaughters also, they are 12 and 7. They can be a handful and when you're trying to take care of everything including them you stop focusing on yourself…

Hi, The only expertise I have is being a chronic dieter. Losing that much weight in the first week is not uncommon...it is even common first the second or third week. After the first couple of weeks they say losing more than one or two pounds is unhealthy. But be proud of your first week results...you're fine. Maybe you…

Hello FabulousFifty, How long have you been using MFP, I haven't done much with my profile yet but I'm going to Friend you right away. I think that I'm going to love this...I just have a good feeling about it. I know with all the support that keeps pouring in that I will be able to get the job done and if I can help anyone…

Hey Caymarks, That would be great! But I would expect the same favor in return...I can get side-tracked easily myself. Are you trying to lose a lot of weight? I would like to lose at least 60lbs but 80 would be wonderful. Either way...We can do it!

This is incredible! I'm familiar with computers but I've never done anything like this...I've only been on the computer about a half hour and already I'm communicating. I'm not familiar with myspace and facebook and all that...I'm trying to figure out now how to put my picture up on the site. Anyway, I could really use the…

Cookies, chocolate candy bars, and cakes with whipped frosting. Basically, if its sweet I want some, if it wasn't for sugar I might be an ideal weight 8-}
