As I mentioned previously, I'm new to this thread and am reading each day, but not doing my own check in. Challenging weekend ahead. Daughter is going to Snowball Dance tonight. Which means, people in and out of the house and no real time to sit down for dinner. Looks like a pizza night...I will get a grilled chicken salad…

New to this thread...I will do my best to do the check ins... I've been unemployed for 8 months now got pretty lazy. Reached my highest weight during this period. I've been pretty good keeping up with my diary so far, but it 's only been a week. Visited a gym with my daughter. almost ran away screaming from anxiety ... I…

Elektra Larkin's...

Congratulations on your success! You look fabulous!

We played LittleLeague Baeball against each other when were11 & 12 years old. His team and my team were usually in the championship against each other. So there was a huge rivalry. We met again 7 years later when he was at a party at my cousin's house. I walked out to the back porch to get a can of pop and he followed me…

July 24th! Me too!

I am 5' 5" and well over 200. I would like to lose over 100 pounds. I too was away from MFP for a while and have come back. You can add me as a friend if you like. Good luck on your journey.

I'm with you! Weekends are really tough for me. I don't usually log on. Don't have a smart phone to make logging more convenient for me. Plus, weekends never have a schedule...we just go with the flow!!

Welcome to MFP. This is truly a great tool when used. I've been here and gone a few times and each time I go, I gain. Each time I come back I lose. I'll send you a friend request.

200? OK. Count me in.

I agree with logging your measurements. You may be shrinking, but not necessarily losing weight. But most important...Do you feel different? BTW congrats on the no smoking! That in itself is something to celebrate! Be proud of yourself! Don't be discouraged!

You are an inspiration! You deserve a huge HIGH 5!!

Hello! Today is my day one also! I love MFP. Used it in the past, but got off track and distracted easily. More determined this time. I sent you a friend request. We can keep each other encouraged. :-)

BEAUTIFUL!! You should be so proud of yourself! Show it off!!!

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try them!

I have Zumba for PS3 and hate it. I love the Just Dance for Wii. After just a few dances, I feel like I'm working. Plus, It's alot more fun, before I know it a half hour has gone by and I've worked up quite a sweat! Good luck!

Remember...you're only young once, but can be immature forever! That's the motto my husband lives by! I'm 40, will be 41 this year!

I agree -- Kill her with kindness.

Welcome! I love the support from my MFP friends. You can always count on getting an encouraging word from someone! Good luck on your journey!

Sounds like a good challenge for me. My legs could definitely use the help! I'm a little late to the party, but count me in anyway!

I don't have one!!

Can you include your husband in on the Softball Team? My husband and I each have girl and guy friends. But he knows that he is my BEST FRIEND! There really isn't much that we don't do together.

BellaCx, I have a daughter your age and I'm so sorry that you didn't have the support you needed in your young life. There is nothing more beautiful to me than my three daughters. Perfect they are not, but they are who they were born to be and they will become their own wonderful selves that they are meant to be. I think…

As a Mom of a college freshman I would be extremely worried about such a low calorie diet. Is there a student resouce center at your school. You can also try the health center, maybe the nurse practitioner can give you some pointers...if not guide you to a nutritionist! Good luck but please be smart! Making yourself sick…

Congratulations on your success!

Thanks for sharing! Sounds yummy!

Don't worry Vicky, we'll do this together. I'm in the same 100lb boat you are. I need the support and encouragement also. We can give it to each other. Sending you a friend request now. Amy (adaffern)

First one! You look great!

I don't hate exercise. I hate the ache in my feet when I get up to walk to the other room or when I get out of bed in themorning. I only have this discomfort when I exercise, wether it's walking, playing the wii or spending time on the elliptical.

I can't wait to try this. I have an extremely picky daughter. Wonder if she'll notice?
