I'm not on it yet, but a friend, her fiance and I are all starting September first. I'm hesitant but am being dragged along. I'm resistant to not eating any sugar even though I know it is bad for you. I like cream in my coffee and I like ice cream. I get bored easily so you bet I'll be coming up with some recipes!

I like to stay around 1200-1300 calories during the week so I can eat a little more on a night out or weekend party without stalling my weight loss. You get the psychological benefits of eating foods you love (within reason) while maintaining weight loss. This is better in my opinion than having a set goal every single…

Wish I knew how to post pics, I love my fur baby!

I personally avoid carbs throughout the day because they trigger cravings for me. I also try to eat lighter in the morning. I feel more focused and productive. It also gives me more wiggle room if I have a client lunch or want to eat a nice dinner with my husband. It's not because some diet told me to, I've tried many…

My goal weight is 115 lbs, my happy weight according to the calculator is 107 pounds. I don't think I would be happy at 107 pounds, too hard to maintain and I would rather have some curves than be stick skinny.

What I did to my parents as a child, and probably why I don't want kids of my own: **Ate a bar of ex-lax and shared with my sisters, we had to wear diapers for the next 24 hours. They shouldn't make it look and taste like chocolate. **We routinely played "babies". Meaning we would take all our clean clothes and wear them…

I am also childless by choice. Every once in a while I get a twinge of baby fever. Then I remember I sometimes don't even like the commitment and cost of taking care of my Pomeranian (daily walking & attention, monthly hair grooming and bath). Love my fur baby, and he's the most I can handle!

Thank you so much for your response, I didn't want to spend the money on a program I couldn't use. P90X here I come!

I was 120 pounds and a size 6, that was almost ten years ago. Through college I gained a couple pounds but kept it off with an on-my-feet job. Then I got a desk job and got married and the pounds came on. My dream goal is 115 pounds since I was still a little plump at 120. But I'm not stuck on a number, I care more about…

I have problems with my wrist, it is weak and has the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome. My shoulder also has rotator cuff tendonitis. Is there any way I could survive P90X? Maybe through some slight modifications? I'm terrified to do much more than walking or Zumba with no arm movements. I love yoga but it's impossible…

In the fall when it's time to rake leaves you can snag the fabric with the rake. Our last rental house had the fabric around the trees and bushes so there were a lot of leaves and the tattered fabric would catch in the rake and the rake would just make the holes larger. At that point it also didn't prevent weeds at all and…

My husband and our 18lb Pomeranian fur baby Bandit. He starts of sleeping above our heads on our pillows but when we move and wake him up he moves to the end of the bed. Sometimes when it is hot he sleeps in our bathroom on the linoleum. If I move or get out of bed he's right behind me. If my husband rolls over and puts…

Great job getting right back on track and doing some serious exercise to help offset. You're doing all the right things, so keep up your hard work.

I always have to remind myself that free food isn't free of calories. I had a lot of free food at my last job and it's different when you don't have to pay for it. But we aren't starving so we don't really need it. The important thing is to just get right back on track. Work some of it off and get back to healthy eating.…

I remember my great grandma patting my chunky thigh when I was 20 years old and telling me I was "nice and sturdy". When you are raised on a farm it is a good thing to be well fed and robust. When you work in an office chair...not so much.

I like the quote in your ticker, how true. I might have to steal it!

I completely understand. I work right next to the office candy jar. Which is always stocked with tempting goodies. Sometimes our company buys us lunch or one of our nice vendors brings us Krispy Creme donuts or pizza and cookies. Office potlucks and going out for lunch are also popular. So instead of being the annoying…

Here's what I do, pick the one you like best. 1. Don't eat your exercise calories at all, just count exercise as a boost to your weight loss. 2. Only eat half your exercise calories as calculated by MFP. 3. Only enter half your exercise time in MFP so you can eat all your exercise calories but it will be more accurate.…

Hello Everyone, I lost 20 pounds several years ago with the help of a blog on xanga and the support of many xanga friends. I'm hoping to find the same support with myfitnesspal since it is on my phone :) Please friend me so I can use my phone to message you and we can help motivate each other. Speaking of that 20 pounds I…
