Hello! I've been a MFP member for years and in 2010, I lost 91 pounds following my doctor's dietary plan and using MFP's food and exercise tracker. Unfortunately, I gained 90 of it back! I've started and stopped, started and stopped too many times to count since then. I recently spoke with my doctor, who is going to let me…

That's what I figured. I'm taking it slower in class and yesterday's class was much better than the week before. I didn't yawn as much or get as dizzy, but I did still get dizzy, especially in the turns. I was just making sure I had the right idea about why it was happening.

I'd like to get in on this, if I may. Today's my first day back in a while, so I'll have to update my weight and status bars on my profile tonight, but I would like to join the weekly challenges. Thanks!

Great job, all!!

Morning, all! Thanks again, Ann for the kick in the butt ;) Things have been crazy hectic for me around here and I just haven't done much more than log in and update my diary once in a while!! I hope to get back on track and stay there pretty quickly :) Congrats to all of you that are still kicking butt!!! I'm proud of ya!!

Woot! WTG everyone! Thanks, Jack for the great chart!

Good for you, Laura! :) I know you can do it!

Big hugs, Tammy! I hope your day isn't too stressful for you and that hubby gets back on his feet quickly. I hope everyone has a great Monday! How was everyone's Valentine's Day? I was looking at Halloween Costume's yesterday (yes, yes, I know it's too early!); but I am now determined to order a costume for Halloween that…

Glad your hubby is feeling some better, Tammy! I hope you feel better quickly, too. Laura has gotten alot of snow lately, afaik, so I'm guess her kids are keeping her pretty busy out playing in it lol

I just got this game too, and at first I hated it, because the wiimote doesn't always show that you got the move down correctly. Then I realized, Screw the score, I'm really getting a work out. Now I just have fun doing it!

Morning, all! I hope you are all doing well :)

Hi peoples! Gah! I can't believe I haven't posted in a while again. Jack, the new chart looks great. I will just wait until next week to send you my weight info. I haven't even weighed since last Thursday, I think. You are all doing so great!!! I'm happy for all of you. I love reading about what you are all up to and…

Totally Off topic - but I bought some Palmer's Stretch Mark Cream. Anyone have any experience with how this works to decrease the marks? Or, if there is a better product out there?

Big hugs, Tammy. No worries about the birthday wishes, I made sure to have a little bit of dessert for all of ya ;) lol I'll join you in your water challenge. I managed to get in 8 cups yesterday and so far today, I've almost finished two. Will get to cracking! Have you tried varying up your workout? Maybe your body is…

Galina, You just need to email JustJack with your weight as of this past Sunday. Every Sunday morning, send him an email with your new weigh in for the week. He'll chart it up. We sometimes have weekly challenges, but mostly, we just support one another and help give that extra little push that's needed from time to time.…

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. Saturday was my birthday and I didn't deny myself too much at all. lol Since Sunday night, I've been feeling a bit under the weather, sniffles, runny nose, aches, etc. But, I came home today and worked out for half an hour, even though I did NOT feel like it! Managed to burn a few…

Good Morning!! I haven't weighed in yet, been working on my new lappy trying to configure everything. Will send my weight to whomever wants 'em. Amanda - it's good to see you back :D

Welcome, Galina! Ann - I hope your employee feels better soon. Tammy -- well? What did you have for lunch and how did you like it?

Ann, I agree 100% I hope Amanda feels better soon. I will also email Laura and try to see what's up! Am hungry this morning. Just ate my granola bars for lunch, and downing some water. Tammy - I know you are probably already at Applebee's, but we love the 550 menu. I like the Steak, and hubs loves the Spicy Shrimp Diavalo…

Ann, I will keep your brother in my prayers. I'm glad the doc says it will all come back to him. That's a very good thing! After my exam today, the doctor explained that what happened was NOT a miscarriage, but was strange. She thinks it was a result of my birth control and told me that if it happens again, to call her so…

Morning all! Sorry I've been MIA - things have been pretty hectic around here. I haven't been exercising, but I have been trying to watch my cal intake. I honestly believe, that as a result of not exercising all week, I feel really run down and tired today. I have my doctors appointment today, that I made a couple of weeks…

Good morning, beauties! I am feeling great today, despite the fact that our dog freaked out over the crazy rain storm we had last night. (Sorry Laura and Tammy! It left me and went to you!) Renaegry - I love to read too! And I'm the type of person that just gets lost in a book for hours at a time. I hate putting them down.…

Good for you on doing as well as you have with drinking water!! I was not a big water drinker, either. Like you, I had to have Dr Pepper or Diet Dr Pepper. That stuff was running through my veins! When I got started on this, I literally had to force myself to get the water down. I keep a cold bottle of water on my desk at…

JustJack - Sorry about your back. I hope you feel better quickly!! I, too, am a proud woodwind. Flute here :D I was Drum Major, but never first chair lol I did pretty well today by staying within my calories, but everything I ate was snacky. I normally just eat a Special K bar for lunch but today, I was starving at 7am so…

Ann - Congrats on following the diets and for your son!!! I'm a highly proud band nerd myself, (Just ask MomofTwo) LOL I was in marching band, honor's band, jazz band, chorus, honor's chorus, chamber choir, drama.. you name it. My poor mother used to say that I had more electives than I did classes. She wasn't actually…

I wanted to ask, what do you guys have your sodium levels set at? I see alot of people that talk about eating too much sodium, but I end up being well under each day, so I think I may have mine set too high, maybe?

Renaegry - Go you with the morning workout!! I just can't get myself motivated to work out in the mornings! I can barely motivate myself out of my nice, warm bed lol. As far as snacks go, you can get some 100 calorie butter popcorn from Orville. It's pretty good! Tammy - Now that the holiday's are over, maybe those 2…

JustJack, those are excellent ideas! Amanda, I can't believe the pool people wouldn't let you in! That's just crazy. No local college that has a pool around? I hope your foot starts to feel better. Are you taking anything for it? To everyone that lost this week, good for you and congrats!!

Amanda, I hope your foot feels better. I know about the no insurance thing and it sucks. Can you try going to a family clinic or urgent care in your area? Sometimes they have cheaper office visit rates, or the UC can even give you payment plans. Why do I need a HRM? If I log my exercise here and MFP tells me what cals I…

Thanks, Tammy and Amanda :) Amanda, Nysa is my name. It's said just like "Lisa" only with an "Ny" instead of the "Li" lol. Big hugs to you too! I can understand your want for a baby, too. Is there no way for the doctor to remove your IUD or has it been absorbed? My doctor's office is a OB-GYN/Adult/Child Clinic. Alot of…
