Welcome to MFP and way to go on getting under the 200 mark!!! WOOO HOOO :drinker: It really does make a difference when you can see how many calories your actually eating! Good luck to you and keep up the good work!!! :happy:

WOO HOO!! It's a great feeling isn't it?! :happy: :flowerforyou:

Sorry you didn't get any support....been there before too. But now on to the fact that you got out and did it....2 miles....way to go!!! I totally agree with you, once you put on those headphones and pump up the music, all you have to do is keep moving and you can do it! Congrats, keep it up! :flowerforyou: :happy:

Welcome back! :flowerforyou: To date, I have 35 lbs to go to reach my ultimate goal weight! My b-day is sept. 19th, and I would LOVE to have reached my goal by then. That's 6 months, and I think it's pretty reasonable, as is your goal! Good luck to you and keep on it....YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :happy:

My son Nicholas who's 6 has quite a few nicknames, but the most popular are.... Nickle Pickle Pickle Scoob

Curious....how many calories do you guys burn on an average day. I have a desk job, so I've listed my activity as sedetary, but wondering what everyone is burning from workouts?!?! :happy:

WOOO HOOO!!! Good job....keep on keepin on!! :drinker:

The best motivation for me is reading some of the success stories on here! Talk about inspiration!! Good luck, and remember it does get easier! :smile:

IMO every scale is different. If I weight myself at home, on my digital scale, and then go to my doctors office, it tacks on a good 5 to sometimes 10 lbs. I wouldn't get too upset, especially if you feel good and your clothes are fitting good. Wait and try again 1st thing tomorrow morning before eating. :smile:

You're obviously not going to get an accurate amount of calories, but if you have an idea of everything that was put into it, try this website... http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp

I work for a local government. I am the administrative assistant for the D.P.W. (Dept. of Public Works) The hours are great and wonderful people! :smile:

I wish I could help, but it makes no sense to me either! There are so many people on here that I'm sure will be able to help you figure it out. Good luck! :smile:

I get on the scale every day! Every morning I get out of bed, go potty, strip down and get on the scale. I know this is not supposed to be a good thing, but it really works for me. If I'm down, it gets me motivated to keep going and watch what I'm eating! If I'm up, it motivates me to work harder and do my best!

Another idea, which I've done before as well, is if you've got some meals in mind, put them into MFP and see what the calories, fat, ect. are going to be. I get a lot of recipes from Kraft.com and they list out what the nutrition is for each serving. The majority of them are really good, and my hubby and 6 yr old son like…

Personally, I can't go to the store without a list. I figure out what I'm going to have each day for each meal, see what I've got and write down what I need. Call it OCD, but I also write my list so that I can follow it how the store is laid out! :laugh: Good luck!:happy:

Nopal Next is O....

Way to go! :happy: sounds like you've got everything going in the right direction! Keep up the good work!!

Thanks, I never even thought about sodium.... I went into my settings and added it on my foods list so I can watch it closely! I've already eaten 400 of my 2500 for the day, and I've only had breakfast!! :grumble: I'm gonna really keep an eye on it! Thanks again! :flowerforyou:

I've been really hitting it hard the last 2 weeks, and have lost 4.3 lbs!!!! :happy: My confusion is when I get on the scale. My scale measures body fat % and water %. My body fat has gone down a little of 2% (WOOOO HOOOO!!) but my water has actually gone up. Is this normal?

Could be you just need to catch up on some sleep or relax time! Try going to bed when you feel tired one night and then see how you feel the next day, you never know, you might feel really refreashed!! Are you drinking lots of water? I notice a difference when I don't get my normal amount of water in each day!:happy:

I have a problem if the dishwasher is not loaded just so. All the forks have to be in a section to themselves, spoons, knifes, ect. and not only do they need to be seperated, but they need to be in the same direction (handle down)! And of course there's a special place for plates, glasses, bowls.... Does this make me…

Trust me, I know how you feel with having to get up so early already, but I have to be to work at 7 am and get my 6 year old out of bed, dressed, fed, and off to daycare before getting to work each morning! I started getting up a 1/2 hr earlier to work out and it has made such a difference, I don't feel so worn out during…

Thanks for your support! :wink: My doctor actually gave me a prescription for 2 months but I do only plan on taking it for a few weeks, or until, and if, any side effects start happening! When I got it filled and read the papers about how to take it, it said to take it twice a day, but my doctor advised me to only take 1/2…

Okay, so this is my 3rd day of taking Adipex! I was a little leary at first, worried about the rapid heart rate and if it would work, but I started taking it Friday and as of this morning, I'm down 1.5 lbs!! This is great, I feel like I've got so much more energy and really feel like I've gotten so much more out of my…

Way to go!!! My advice (as I'm still learning it myself) is to not get discouraged if you don't see as high a loss as you hoped for. Five pounds is awesome! Remember that everyone is different and gaines and looses differently. I've been at this for about 4 months and have only lost 12 pounds. I have to remind myself that…

The Wii Fit is awesome, it truly is a workout and fun for the whole family! My 6 yr old loves it! We run together!!

You and your family are in my prayers. :flowerforyou:

I'm right there with you on this one...it just doesn't make sense! :smile:
