My brother plowed my driveway 3 times! =D

I'm on cortisone treatments and fearing that the steroid will promote weight gain. =/ Especiall since I can't do my regular workouts while I'm waiting for the cortisone to do it's thang. Not having much faith that it's working and feeling like I'm doing this for nothing.

I broke 2 toes in July, so I wore a 'broken toe sandle' on that foot for 6 weeks and still went about my routine but tried to take it easy. The pain was still there after 6 weeks, so I continued to wear the sandle for another 6 weeks and tried my best to stay off it as much as possible, no workouts this time. =( Still pain…

Hi Mary, welcome back! I'm back at it as well, after a change in my life in which I didn't have regular access to MFP and such, and now it's much more difficult for me. I don't know if it's because I'm in my 40s now, or if it's because I live in my hometown now and my family is overweight and love to feed me, or if it's…

(BIG HUG!) You are doing the right thing by writing this out and seeking help! Hope you feel better & take care!

I'm 41 and finding out the weight really IS harder to keep off in my 40s!

I only workout from home. I have an elliptical and the wii, but I also do a lot of weight lifting, yoga, sit-ups, push-ups, squats and of course dog-walking. Also I have recorded Fit-TV, my favorite being the tried and true Total Body Sculpt with Gilad, and Gilad's Bodies in Motion. Timeless.

Butter & brown sugar, sliced and baked! =D

When you drop your cell phone, do you stomp on it since it's already down there or do you pick it up, dust it off, and put it back to good use? Please try not to let one slip up ruin your entire day or even week. You can adjust your food diary. I have given myself more calories than MFP proposed. It makes it easier. It may…

My goal is to get back down to 117, the weight I got down to before selling my house, living homeless/camping for a month without regular access to MFP, then moving to my home town where everything changed and I've been struggling to keep my weight down. My last weigh-in was 128. I'm okay at this weight, but if I don't…

Whenever I get up, I eat within the hour, pretty much right away, and then every 3 hours throughout the day. It's usually breakfast at 6, morning snack at 9, lunch at Noon, afternoon snack at 3...a drink when I get home at 6 and dinner whenever. =>

Thanks! =)

They don't understand. They like their way of eating and don't understand why you don't. My family can be like that to a point, but I do make some compromises just to keep peace. They keep telling me that I'm not eating enough and I don't look healthy when I'm thin. I think it's just the nature of parents to want to see…

Thanks! Great reminder! =D

Making my food diary public to my fitness pals helps me to think more about what I am eating and drinking because my pals can view it! It also motivates me to workout when I see my pals have done their workouts.

I think you just need something, anything, to kickstart your metabolism. Today my breakfast was over 400 calories, yesterday it was under 100. I believe it all evens out in the end, however, I guess it is true that the more calories you eat in the morning, the more time during the day you have to burn them off, so probably…

Wow, seems like a lot of people like 2. I like 1 much better! I like the simple platform. Sorry to all who like 2, but it reminds me of a shoe my Grandmother used to wear when I was young, which isn't so much a bad thing, I like vintage, but I think for the bridesmaid dress, shoe number 1 goes best. Just my humble opinion.…

I just found a dead beetle on my plate when I was eating a subway sandwich and it wasn't there the last time I reached for a chip on my plate, so it must have fallen out of the sandwich! I'm so in the mode of not going back there anytime soon!

I sell vehicles at an 8 acre dealership in which I do a lot of walking around those 8 acres. I don't log that walking cause I have accounted for it in my settings, that I'm generally pretty active.

Skinny Girl Margarita, Skinny Girl Cosmo, etc. has fewer calories and less sugar than margarita & cosmo.

Don't even get me started, lol!

Getting my will power back! Even when there are Milky Way adds all over MFP today!

I don't judge and I don't expect to be judged. When I friend someone on MFP, I like to see who my new friend is, so I offer the same courtsey to anyone who may want to friend me. =)

Anything. I just need a little something to get me going. I can't workout on an empty stomach, and I need to eat when I get up; it's one of the first things I do to start my day, right after feeding my dog. =)

I work at Berlin City Auto Group, selling new Honda, Toyota, Kia, Nissan, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Buick, GMC, and Chevy vehicles, as well as "Pre-loved" vehicles.

When I lost a total of 36 pounds in 2 years bringing me from 149 pounds down to 113 pounds, my family said I had lost the beauty in my face and looked gaunt and begged me to gain at least 10 pounds back. I went from the high end of my weight chart to the low end, but still was not considered underweight by my doctor. My…
