It's crazy. Twins would have been easier lol. My girls are 11 months 16 days apart. I fall right in the middle.

First name: Staci Age: 41 Where are you from: Maryland Any pets: 1 dog, 1 cat Work: Railroader Hobbies: Full-time student Fun fact: I went into labor with my oldest on my 22nd bday so I never got to celebrate. The following year I had my youngest (they are Irish twins). So I tell everyone I'm still 21. No party no age ;)

First, congratulations on the weight loss! Great job! :) Second... *kitten* them! The only reason people are petty and say stuff like that is because they are insecure. It gives them undo self worth. Third, you are in this for you and no one else.

I'm so excited! My girl is coming home for the weekend :) I haven't seen her since September.

Do we actually have a group or just this post?

I eat out of boredom. I'm learning to do something else instead. Perhaps find another outlet. Maybe going to the gym, clean the house, read a book. I have a heavy bag that I kick the *kitten* out of when I'm frustrated.

I purchased a pair of jeans in my size... um yeah, they aren't. :D :D :D

I can't make friends on my phone :'( you can friend me though

First- stop saying failure! Everyday is a life lesson. If things don't work one way, you just need to learn how to do them a different way. Take a look at what you are eating. Drink more water. Add protein. Get moving. (I turn the radio up when I clean. I'm a rockstar ;) ) You'll find what works. BTW- HRT is my life saver!…

I've got about 25lbs to lose. My May goal is going to the gym. I don't log my food on MFP because I can't get the net carb thing to work. You all can add me. I'll do my best to cheer you on!

I was in the Navy 20+ years ago! Man, 1.5 miles in 9 mins lol. Years ago I did the C25K and it really works. My plan is C25K three days a week and weights two days. You can add me if you'd like.

I'm doing low carb! Monday was my start day. SW 162 :s . The last time I peed this much I was pregnant :D

I'm doing low carb for now. I suffer from carb to mouth syndrome! It was nothing for me to sit at work and eat a bag of chips because I could. So now I'm retraining myself. After a few weeks (or longer) I'll start counting calories again. Learning to live without all of the carbs and making healthier choices.

I'm weeks away from 42! I've been on MFP off and on for years. Here's to reboot #?. :) Feel free to add me.

Look at the Jefit app. There are a bunch of different workouts on it.

Have you seen halo top ice cream? Check it out. Bunch of different flavors.

I had an entire post and it only showed my first few words. Anyhow, I know exactly how you feel. I'm making small goals. My first is for May.... make time for the gym!

I started Atkins Monday. I'm hoping this will be my jumpstart! I'm sorry about your mom. It's hard losing a parent. Just remember she wants what is best for you and wants you to be happy.

Great Job!!!

Lookin good friend!!!! Keep up the good work!

You can get a false negative. It's very rare that you get a false positive. The thing about a HPT is you have to be so far along for you to show up on one. Also, it depends on the time of day you take the test. If you take it first thing in the morning you have a more accurate test. After you drink all day, it dilutes your…

If you are going to eat fruit, choose a fruit that is higher in fiber. You are still going to get the natural sugars. Also, avoid fruit juices. If you increase your fiber intake throughout the day you should see a difference in your sugar levels.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You may not be stretching enough after exercise. I'm not going to tell you to stretch before you DTD but maybe sometime during the day do a couple extra stretches.

I'm 5'5" and currently at 148. I'm not happy. I liked and felt the best around 135ish.

Welcome! I haven't been on MFP very long but I am in love :) Congrats and Good Luck!

My thoughts exactly!

Try zumbacalories.com it will give you a general idea. Honestly though, I think it's best to get a heart rate monitor to get an accurate burn.

Please don't give up. I am a Zumba instructor and I have people in my class of all different fitness levels. The point of Zumba is to have fun and just keep moving. I have ladies that couldn't move and shake at the same time and after a couple of months they are moving like pros. Give yourself some time and you'll get it.…

I have no clue! Haven't even thought that far ahead yet. I can't wait to see the responses.

Everytime someone picks something up, tell them how many calories are in it and how many minutes they are going to have to spend at the gym to burn it off. I do it to my husband all of the time. I figure, if I can't enjoy it, he shouldn't either. :wink:
