Welcome Toni! I have close to 100 to lose as well. We can do this!

This post is awesome. I absolutely needed all of the responses in this post. I had not been eating so healthy over the last week and this is exactly what I needed to remember my goals and reasons for wanting to be healthy. Thanks to everyone who responded!!!

I'm nursing my 10 month old pretty frequently. I just add about 200 calories to my calorie goal to make it sort of like a range (i.e 2000-2200 )

I'm taking classes online at my local community college and then I will be going on campus starting this summer. I love online classes because I get to stay home with my daughter. Also, you have to be disciplined and a self-starter b/c once you get behind, it's hard catching up!

Hi elleit, I am really sorry that you are feeling bad. I can REALLY sympathize with you. Starting with the student loans (I have about 26 thousand dollars in loans and 2 years left for a bachelors). I am majoring in social work, so I don't know how well I will be able to pay those loans off. I also LOVE to eat. As a matter…

WELCOME TO MY FITNESS PAL!!!:smile:

I needed this dose of motivation. It was hard not losing any weight for the 2nd week. But you're right, that just makes me work harder for next week!

Welcome to the site!!!

I'm really sorry you're having a tough time. I must say that I am having a rough time as well right now. Just wanted to let you know...

Just to let you know... I am definitely struggling with my weight loss battle. At this point I am definitely taking it one day at a time.

Man, you put that nicely! I agree!!!

I'm here... I've had a bad day kind of as far as eating is concerned. My weight stayed the same for this week. I need to pump myself back up! I'm starting to slip into that stinking thinking mode...

GO LAURA! GO LAURA! GO LAURA! I am proud of you!

I am so sorry to hear about your pain. You are definitely in my prayers and I hope things will get better.

GO BLUE TEAM GO!!! Hey everyone, just checking in. My goal this week it to up the exercise to stay motivated and drink more water. Slow and steady wins the race for me!

Wow...your breakfast sounds really yummy! I had oatmeal with a little brown sugar for breakfast. I am actually trying to cook a healthy version of a soul food dinner tonight: collard greens, candied yams, and black eyed peas. I am using no porkfat and only a couple of TBSP of olive oil for the greens. I hope this turns out…

Hello team... I just wanted to check in with everyone. I have been keeping up with my food diary, but not exercising. I also have been trying to drink at least four cups of water. My baby girl has been sick for the past week, but she is getting better. Hopefully I can step my exercise game up a little next week. Also,…

I'm from Little Rock, AR

I am so sorry you are having a pretty rough time. I hope things get better for you and that you can resist the urge for today.

I'm a stay at home mom too! I'll definitely look at the thread posted by Ms. Fitness_Chick. I'm finishing my degree online as well. Do you mind me asking which school you are attending?

CONGRATS!!!! You are truly an inspiration to me. I would like to lose 100 pounds and seeing you so close to your goal is incouraging. I agree this website it TRULY a lifesaver!

Good Luck! Welcome to the site!

What brand are the veggie burgers?

I'm feeling kind of down today :ohwell: My daughter is sick (I think she may be teething). I've eaten pretty good today though and I'm drinking water. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow.

I am working my way up to 6-8 glasses per day. I drink around 3-4 glasses now. It's a work in progress!

I am new too!... I'm sure we will get the hang of it pretty soon! Welcome to the Blue Team!

Thanks Blue Team! I am really excited after reading all the posts. I did exercise yesterday for 15 mins. I am starting out slow, but I will be adding more as I go along! We are going to kick some Boo-Tay!!!! Thanks blah7997 for the referral.

I would like to join the Blue team. Is it too late? Me start weight is 278.8 pounds.

WOW! You go girl... you look great!

Hello Mommies! I am new to myfitnesspal and sort of a new mommy. My daughter is 9 months old and I currently stay at home while attending classes online. I appreciate the posts in this thread. Happy New Year everyone!
