I am the worst for workouts. I just hate it still. we bought a treadmill and when my daughter was around 1 I managed to use it every day and lost a ton of weight really fast and easily because husband was gone. Now we still have the treadmill and I still say it's the best money we ever spent (if you get one, go high in the…

Hi guys! I'm a Marine wife, been married 7.5 years, together almost 10. We met when he was on MSG duty in Nigeria and we were married in Slovenia right as he finished his term on MSG. He recently did the WO program and we are now in New Bern, NC, stationed at Bogue Field/Cherry Point. I have two kids, a girl who's nearly…

Husband works at Bogue aux airfield near Cherry Point/Jacksonville NC. We live in New Bern :) We lived in Yuma 04-07, Pensacola, 07-10, San Diego (SPAWAR) 2010, then here July 2011.

That is amazing progress!! Keep up the good work!

You are doing GREAT! You look fabulous x

If you want to add me, please do. We are at the same sort of current weight and we have pretty similar goal weights too. I'm not perfect with the food - I like my wine/beer/chips treats but I don't typically eat too much processed foods, I like my veggies, but I also like my bread/potatoes. I think everythign in moderation…

When we drive we take foods and buy bananas at a gas station along the way. Sometimes the fast food pull is unavoidable if the kids (or I) wont eat what I bring though, it happens, move on. On planes, I walk to my gate and then sit and read. I sometimes buy a sandwich at one of the newsagent type stands if it's over a…

An English pint is 20oz, US is 16oz. Does that help you? took me ages to figure out why my "pint" glasses in the States seemed smaller than I was used to!

*Drool* Add me to the 'don't tell my husband' club! lol

This. Exactly. I have a coke zero every day. Sometimes two, sometimes only half... I need to open one so I can take my vitamin (they taste SO bad that I need the fiz to help them down) and then sometimes I leave it somewhere and forget it, other times I guzzle it down and have another. I don't think it'll really hurt as…

I weigh in to track on Mondays but I weigh every morning, the same time and in the same clothing to keep myself accountable. It means I know what is "real" weight and what is water/other stuff.

Eat when you're hungry up to your cals allowed, including exercise cals. If you're not hungry, don't eat. Somedays I eat them back, some days I don't.

if you really want to use your gym membership, find a buddy to go with you. I am far more likely to get out there and DO something if there's someone else doing it too. Better yet, get your workout buddy and take the toddler for a walk in the stroller. Even at night, after dark, if you're in a safe neighbourhood, walking…

I think she means old on MFP, not old in years :) Welcome back!

I usually speak up and say what I don't eat or that I'll fix my own plate when everyone else is done. I don't think anyone would be offended, we all have different tastes and you might not have been hungry. If i missed the window to say I'd do my own plate, I would just leave on my plate what I didn't want to eat or give…

I am starting with my BMI's recommended "normal" range and I'll see once I get there if i'm happy with the way I look or if I think it's too big/small. There's no "ideal" weight for everyone, because of body types but the height/weight match of BMI is generally pretty accurate for your average person (not…

I have also been in this position and I think someone telling me I was getting fat without offering a solution would NOT have helped me but if someone had approached me and said "I noticed you're gaining weight, I've been doing this thing online maybe you'd like to try it? And I've been going to the gym and I'd love a gym…
-
yep, talk to her about this place (MFP) and your journey. Ask if she wants to run/walk/hang out with you without saying "hey you're getting fat, join me in weightloss" Just suggest healthy and active things for you guys to do together rather than the usual sitting in starbucks/mcdonalds/whatever. If she's a good friend she…

Incidentally, I just looked at your profile and I'm from Manchester so I'm totally jealous of your nights out! There's not much that rivals Manchester for nightlife!

moderation. If you're getting in at 3/4 stop drinking at 1, and switch to water and then when you get home you'll be sober enough not to want to eat everything in sight.

Girls, it's 9pm and I just can't do it. I went to my dance class 6-8 then got home by 8.20, cleaned the kitchen up, went to the bathroom and got changed, put it on and just got through about 2 mins before I realised I just wasn't feelign it. I think if my husband hadn't come down the stairs (where he had been running on…

I love this with celery. I don't put the ranch in mine either but I always use low-fat cheese. I usually use boiled boneless skinless breasts that I shred by hand because I think the canned chicken gives it a slightly different flavour but I've been using the canned stuff more and more recently. LOVE Buffalo dip :)

So sorry about your ankle but WOW for being able to go kayaking. I would love to just be able to kayak for my exercise! Where do you live? I have a friend in Alaska and her lifestyle makes me SO jealous - all winter long she posts about how she ran out for a quick X country ski for her exercise, or went snow shoeing... I…

i'm at 1200 cals before exercise. I try not to eat back my exercise cals but then it tells me I'm not eating enough. Today I saw a jump in the scale because I snacked and had beer last night after a bad day but usually the 1200 has been enough for me.

I do ballroom and latin classes, I've danced since I was 3 or 4 and recently arrived in a new place where I can take classes again for the first time in 7 years. It has made me so happy! I don't know how I survived without my dancing so I totally understand you :) We are going out of town from Saturday so I'm hoping to get…

I'm doing it in my livingroom on carpet and I thought that too... Now that you've mentioned it as well, I think I might try my smooth soled dance shoes for easier slide on the carpet. I did the same as you yesterday and I am SORE today! Feels great! I'm surprised at how much my lower back muscles were worked. It's an…

Hi there! i've only been here actively for the last week but i've seen some serious results in just a short time (almost a pound a day but we'll see if it lasts through the weekend!) I'm in the States now but originally from Manchester. Welcome to the board!
-
hiya! I'm still here. Did day 1 of insanity workout today but am full of a head cold so I'm streaming from my eyes and nose which is pretty unpleasant. i've been seriously pleased with my results this week alone - this morning I saw a low weight I haven't seen in the last 3months that I have been watching my food/exercise…
-
I'm at 1200 per day as well and I try not to eat any of my exercise cals either so I am constantly told I'm in starvation mode. As long as you're eating a healthy and varied diet, if you're a bit under it'll be good for your weightloss. I tihnk it's just a way of covering themselves if you didn't lose weight at those…
