Thanks everyone for ur suggestions and encouragment. It is greatly appreciated and excepted with an open mind :-)

U are sooo kicken butt my friend and u look FABULOUS!!!!!!!

Welcome :-) This is an awesome place to be for all ur needs. Best to ya on ur journey. Feel free to add me if u'd like :-)

U look wonderful! & it is indeed inspiring :-)

Hi :-) I'm from Ohio as well. Marengo area about 30 minutes north of Columbus off I-71. I'm tryin to locate people close buy to possibly meet up with and become friends as well as MFP pals. Feel free to add me! I'm still fairly new. Been here for about 6 weeks or so. I luv it :-)

I'm a dork! Geesh, it didn't even dawn on me about the exercise. And it's not like I don't always exercise. Guess I need to chalk it up as a brain fart.lol Sorry for takin up ur time :-( Thanks for the memory jogger :-)

I do have it on Craigslist as well. Thanks for the suggestion though :-) And yes, apparently they do dump animals on porches. We live out in the country so I guess people just assume we'll keep them and let them roam. However, all my cats and rabbits are indoors for it is dangerous out here on the country roads. I've only…

U just took the 1st step my friend :-) U can do it and this site is an excellent tool and the people here are AWESOME! The encouragement is over flowing. I have been on this site for only 30 days and it has made such a HUGE difference in my life. I'd enjoy gettin to know u and being a support partner for u. Feel free to…

Thanks Tom :-) And I have never even heard of stevia :-(

Go to www.halfmysize.com and they have some great crock pot meals that are very low cal in my opinion :-)

I'm no expert on bowl movements however, it is my opinion that if ur eating more fiber and less carbs u should be going more often. I know since I've started eatin all this fiber I'm regular like clock work.lol Hope u figure it out.

To rluca : Thanks for the website :-)

I see what ur saying :-) Thanks!

To Sarah4454 : So if ur HRM says more than ur BMR shows on here if u didn't have the pulse abnomalities would u consider the 200 difference to be extra burned calories above and beyond ur exercise?

Ok...maybe I misunderstood. I thought the BMR tells us how many calories our body burns in a day by doing nothing above and beyond our normal day to day stuff without exercise. Is this not correct? If it is correct then my prior question is still the same.

I'll do that. Thank u :-)

Thanks everyone ;-) I appreciate all ur suggestions and opinions.

Thanks for all the input my fellow MFP peeps :-)

Rachel I am so glad to have become MFP pals with u. I am only on my 3rd week here and was soooooo scared when I 1st started but to read words from u and others who are truley doing this and making such huge changes lets me know that I can too. That I too am worth every bit of time and energy it is and will continue to take…

Thanks for the input everyone. It is appreciated :-) @ Schlumy....I did look there but didn't see it. I did however, see the sex one.lol I think I'll use the hiking up hills carrying a load. That works well for me.

I take a multi-vitamin. I've gone the pill route before and without learning the correct way to eat and manage my portions the weight always came back. This time I'm doing it the correct way. Or should I rephrase that and say the correct way for me. Anyhow, I'm only 2 weeks into my journey with MFP and am already lerning…

Welcome Laurie :-) I'm a mess too.lol I'm new here as well. Been on this site for 2 weeks. It is a wonderful place. Full of awesome people and over the top encouragement. I'd enjoy taking this journey with u if u'd like to request me :-)

I've been with MFP for 2 weeks now and YES...I've been gassy to say the least.lol My hubby just chuckles and says "Damn baby...u are sexy" then of course we both laugh. The other it happened in public and I was mortified but then my hubby totally took the blame. God luv that man cause I sure do!

Hi :-) I'm pretty new here too. Not sure how exciting I am but I'd enjoy having a new friend. Feel free to request if ur interested :-)

Thanks for the replies :-) I lookedd under cardio but didn't see anything listed. I will look again under riding mower. I don't have a HRM....I'm assuming thats a heart rate monitor. Do u have to order them online?

That is so wonderful!

Thanks for the info :-)

Thanks for all the replies :-)

Thanks for the reply :-)

I try not to eat mine but if I go over one day it's nice to know that with my exercise I didn't do too much damage :-)
