Welcome and good for you! Running is so liberating. Congrats on your little one:bigsmile:

Good for you! Just get outside in the sunshine and get inspired! You'll love this site- it's a great touchstone with lots of support.

Welcome! Glad you found this site!:flowerforyou:

I agree I don't think you should eat if you're not hungry and you feel awful afterwards....I think everyone has their own journey. I agree water weight can come off pretty quickly in the beginning. Pay attention to what your body is telling you and as long and you feel healthy and follow the MFP guidelines in general you…

Hahaa~ that's a great article! Love that site..

It's great that you want more balance in your life- this is a great site with lots of support =) Welcome to MFP!!!

WOW!!! Really awesome numbers! You must be really proud of yourself. Pics look great =)

Aww... good for you- have a great time on vacation!

"A minute on the lips= a lifetime on the hips" Seriously, cleaning your plate logic has jacked with so many people's heads- talk about the ultimate guilt complex! Here's to tearing that programming out and putting in healthy habits that have to do with nourishing our bodies-period.

Great to have you on here =) So much support on here you'll love it!

I can't use diet pills because of a condition I have but I cut out anything with added sugar (for the most part) and I've found my appetite has practically disappeared! I even have a few drinks and this doesn't impede my progress. Best of luck!

How do you personally burn that much in one week? Let me know =)

lol...ONEderland is so happy to have you back! Congratulations on the 37min 5k!!!! Keep up the great work. It's so great to see someone's hard work and dedication pay off:flowerforyou:

GREEN TEA! Doesn't leave you shakey.... I put a couple tea bags in a large pitcher and let it soak in the sun for about an hour- then pour it over ice with a sprig of mint. Refreshing pick me up :drinker:

Thank god for food allergies! lol. Congrats on your 9lb loss- really great! Welcome and God bless! :happy:

:flowerforyou: Hi gals! Everyone is doing such a great job- it's so awesome that we are all in the same boat and here for one another! SW: 181.4 CW: 177 THANKSGIVING W: 155 GW: FOR NOW 145 (may changes later-who knows!) See you next week!

Lol- I thought I was the only one that did that! (Except I say at least 20 min)......Great job!!!! You CAN do at least 5 min a day!

Thanks ladies! It really is so awesome to be able to cheer each other on!

I'm speaking to myself as much as I am you....You joined because you want to do this and you believe you can. There's so many other people on here that are changing their lives for the better one day at a time. This is an important investment to make in yourself because you deserve it! You are worth it and even though some…

:flowerforyou: :drinker: Congrats on the 6 lbs!!!!!! That's a huge accomplishment and not easy to do. You could focus today on just maintaining your 6lb loss instead of sabotaging your work/health etc. Go outside! Go hang out with a buddy- you'll feel better :heart: Good luck! We are with you :flowerforyou:

I'm a fan of eggs/egg whites in the morning. Leaves me full for a while. 1) Mixed precut bell peppers and egg whites 2) Egg overeasy on toast with some avocado Plain non-fat yogurt is also great in the morning with some chopped apples and cinnamon =oP

Hi and welcome to mfp! What I did when I first started is: 1) recorded my weight and measurements 2) recorded what I ate for the day 3) recorded my exercise for the day 4) read and respond to blogs 5) add friends Good luck on your journey! Hope this is helpful =)

:flowerforyou: How inspiring! You look wonderful and you should be incredibly proud! (Cool idea to take pics with the "same" outfits on) Since you've done this you can do anything- looking forward to your future pics!

Welcome back! I came back recently too, the first time I didn't take the time to make friends for accountability and support, so making friends on here is a really great experience. Btw- I love your clothes reward idea!

Good to have you on here! Sounds like you are on the right track =)

:flowerforyou: Awesome job! You really accomplished a lot and you sound like you've done it very healthily.

Wow, thank you all so much for such positive feedback. I am so happy that I can talk about this on here-lol! Really great suggestions about writing and blogging instead of eating in the heat of the moment and not being too hard on myself. muchas gracias a todo :love:

Hi, glad ur on here! Maybe you could incorporate exercise time for you and the kids??? Keeps everyone occupied at the same time?
