just a quick check in here... wanted to say hello! I am feeling pretty lonely lately. missing Rob a lot but there is nothing he can do so I have burdening him with it. I rarely tell him I am sad .. but i just tell him i miss and love him so much. I know it is less than 3 months til I see him again it is just not coming…

hahahah hilari-- I took a picture of my friend holding a can of spotted d**k when we went food shopping.. I saw it and couldnt believe it we were giggling like preteens in sex-ed class. lol.. wish i could post more but i am running late! still have to walk the dog, make my lunch and get dressed. I wish everyone a great day…

i've got my countdown ticker here on MFP.. my boyfriend is on leave April 9th:) so excited! hope everyone had a great on plan day!

I say MODERATION!! I don't think it will halt your losses. If you have the cals for it and you aren't eating a whole pizza I don't see a problem with it. I normally am very choosy about what kinds of food I eat but like this weekend I had 3 slices of pizza and a small piece of fudge. That was the first time in over 2 weeks…

hi everyone! So not glad it is Monday.. back to the grind. UGH!! Hopey- welcome to the group.. I am in the same boat as you- BF is on contract too.. not officially deployed. He has had this job for 3 years. He is ready to call it quits so he is coming back to the States this year. overit- I am sorry to hear bout your…

congratulations!! great job!

welcome and good luck on your journey! you will find tons of support and great advice on the boards:)

halfway through my day... I can not wait to get home..this has been a long week. I am excited to see Rob tomorrow on webcam. Got to walk the dog, do dishes and mop the floors tonight.. Oh ya and I have a date with Bob Harper tonight lol. it is gonna be a sweaty one! lol.. check in later :)

TY TheMaid:) appreciate the support!

timmi-- that sounds soooo good! i just bought a package of chicken tenderloins today I think I am going to marinade them then cook them up with pepper onion stir fry and some mushrooms over some brown rice. I am not usually one for recipes i normally just throw some stuff together. tonight i had 4 oz ground chicken mixed…

I have a jack chi(jack russell chihuahua ) named Lucy. shes my little baby. I am so blessed to have her in my life.

hilari I am so sorry to hear about your neck. timmi and holly have great suggestions on what to snack because both are so low caloric wise. at night to keep from eating i just try to occupy myself as much as possible. I watch movies and keep a huge glass of water with me and whenever i think i want to be eating i drink…

i have the active and it is really good. it comes with the resistance band so when you do arm work you really get the benefits of the resistance. it is definately more like a workout dvd would be and not as much of a 'game' like wii fit(ihave this also, as well as TBL.) I just got TBL for xmas so this is only the start of…

Timmi-- great post! Speaking of not knowing how to relate, I was chatting with my neighbor when I had taken my dog out and we had gotten around to talking about my boyfriend and i explained how he is overseas working and she said to me."i hope he is behaving over there".. I was like.. umm yea.. thanks thats a nice thing to…

personally, i try to get some kind of exercise everyday, at least 30 mins regardless of what I have burned already. I really just feel much better if I am moving daily.

i normally log my breakfast, snacks and lunch the night before as I eat most of that at work then I figure out what i am doing for dinner as i go.

Hi Gennifer! I also do not have anyone around me who knows what it is like to be without my other half.. I know one girl who i chat with who is the gf of my boyfriends buddy but she is in Brazil and english is her 2nd language.. that makes for some interesting conversations lol. welcome to our group:) hope we can offer you…

Well my boyfriend is not technically deployed.. he is doing contract work. I am south of Boston currently and my boyfriend has a house in the Knoxville TN area. I will be moving there when he comes home for good. I can't wait... I love Tennessee. We will be going there in April for our vacation together so the clock is…

it wouldn't hurt to just keep tracking even if you aren't reaching your nutritional goals.. it will just keep the habit of tracking going while you aren't feeling well. I know when i get sick i get SOOOO disappointed because i feel like it is such a setback but hang in there and hopefully it will pass quickly. try to keep…

YEA GIRL!!! YOU CAN DO IT!! I know it isn't easy at first but once you start logging your food and sticking to it the results make it worth it. I noticed your from Knoxville, also.. I will be moving to Knoxville the end of this year. I wish I lived there right now. I am heading that way in April for 2 weeks i can't wait.…

WOOHOO! that is AWESOME!

today was my first 'official' weigh in. I lost 2.6 lbs this past week so I am off to a good start! Just wanted to share my small success with you all and I hope this is a great week for everyone.

planning my meals has definately given me no excuses to be out of control. i only plan the night before what i will eat the following day and i do not always plan my dinners ahead but it has been so easy to just open my food log and follow what i have already written in. I live alone(just me and my dog!) so I don't have to…

Hi Holly:) We have a thread in the Motivation and Support area for Deployment support team now. come join us there:) So gla you heard from your boyfriend. I am sure it brought a huge smile to your face. I hope you have a fantastic successful day!

generally the night before i plan what i am going to eat the next day and i use MFP as my guide. I measure everything I eat.. If i make my own recipes, i add them into the 'my meals' section for use later. it is all about planing for me. i also try to eat every few hours small snacks between meals. my rule now is if i bite…

I would love to join this group! I am 30 years old and I live south of Boston. My highest weight was approximately 250 lbs(sept 08). When I saw that on the scale I cried and cried. I thought this is NOT how I want to live my life. no more excuses and no more denial. Currently I am apprx 208(ugh...) but I am getting there.…

hi everyone.. my boyfriend is working overseas in Kosovo currently. I only got to see him for 2 weeks in September and i will not be seeing him again until April. The distance has really put a strain on me emotionally and I miss him so much. He will not be living back in the states until November this year. I am so lonely…

hummus is great as a sandwich spread. I also use it on the wheat thins flat bread crackers. it comes in so many flavors- garlic, cracked pepper, lemon, roasted red pepper and so many more.

.

yes, the weight loss probably will slow down on its own.. but mainly, i think if you are feeling like you are eating enough and not feeling hungry then I would stick with what the site is giving you. I put mine at a projected 1.5 lb a week loss and found i needed a little more food so i went to 1 lb and it seems like a…
