Excuse my typos I can't figure out how to change them :p

This is one of my fears and part of my motivation for my son. I know kids can be cruel, kids made fun of my mom when I was in school. My mom was also a lunch lady so it didn't help things. I don't want my son to ever be in that situation. So every time I start slipping I keep in mind he'll start school next year and how by…

Hi Sandy. I'm Amanda from PA and I'm also a stay at home mom. I've been on and off of here all the time. I start doing really good and think I can do it on my own then have a setback. Get upset because of that setback gain back most of my weight. Feel depressed and I'm right back here. But the point is I keep coming back.…

I can't see the pictures, but good for you! 20 lbs shouldn't be that hard to knock out with a little diet and exercise. :smile: Sorry about not being able to make it into the army. Everything happens for a reason though. Like you walking in there in the first place and them giving you that fire to get your body moving and…

be proud of yourself for even starting. I'm nervous about even trying to start. There's really no trails or places to run besides the roads around my house and I'm a little nervous about people watching me. Stupid I know. But you actually got out there and started and will get better and better :) Keep it up

Firework by Katy Perry

great job :smile:

Yea having a big breakfast kills the rest of the day unless you work some calories off to afford to eat a bigger lunch or dinner

Eh, I know about that depression weight gain. Gained it after I had my son. So I had baby weight on top of depression weight. Feel free to add me. I love new friends :flowerforyou:

this is exactly what I need for my tummy. I'm going to have to pick up this dvd.

Me: 16 New Total... 12321

Diet Pepsi is way better. I like my pop from fountains though instead of can. But the best of both worlds...Sparkling water. Strawberry Sparkling water. yumm yumm.

I know you're not suppose to weigh in everyday but I don't care. I weigh in every morning. It motivates me. If that number goes up instead of down I say Oh no you don't.. and kick butt all day everyday until that number drops down again.

I'm just saying I lost my first 15 on 1200 and raised it to 1400 cause 1200 was starting to starve me after 2 months and am still losing it at the same pace. MFP should let you know when you start out why the calories are set so low and that they are adjustable. I didn't know that. I was excited to get started and just…

Congrats! 137 looks good. I can't wait to be there.

Thanks everyone.

I was at 1200 calories until a week ago. Now I'm at 1400. I don't do any exercise routine. I walk. I walk for an hour a day 3-6 times a week, Oh I got one of those xbox Kinect things and there's a fitness game that I do along with the just dance games. There's days I don't exercise but I watch what I eat closely those days.

Thanks! I'll try it. I got to get the pics off my husbands phone.

awesome. great work!

Sparkling Water or just plain water with lemon

Pittsburgh, PA here... Go Penguins!!!!!!

I'm proud to finally be sticking to something and seeing results. For breaking out of my sweat pants and backing into my jeans and showing off my great behind again :) I'm proud not to be huffing and puffing up hills anymore and now walk up them like ha I did it.. with a huge smile And I'll be proud of myself when I go to…

I'm so sorry for your loss but I also admire youre moving forward. I have a 2 year old son. I am now finally losing the last of that baby weight gain plus some. I don't eat the cleanest of foods, but I try. I want to try that c25k soon. I'm not new here, but feel free to friend me :)

wow. fantastic!

Thanks for this topic. I was going to spend a crazy amount of money on Victorias Secret workout gear, but why? It's workout gear. I'll head to Wal-Mart instead.

I must admit I was checking myself out in the glares of the windows at the mall today.

awesome. congrats on your progress.

Food scale...Forgot all about those because I really wasn't interested in bothering with one, but now I think I'll invest in one. I have been just looking up different foods and using my best judgement but the grapes had me all confused today.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania :heart:

Do you know anyone that can take them in? like a seamstress?
