Support is a key "ingredient" to weight loss tee hee, i came up with that one all on my own Im more than sure all of us on this site know vitually all the tricks to loosing weight. We have all done research, found facts and fiction, tried everything out there. How else has it become a multi billion dollar industry? In the…

absolutely fabulous....

it is my understanding that the diary calculates the daily calorie requirement based upon what you would need to be awake, but in bed all day...ohhh the luxury. It doesn't take into acount what we normally do in a day. However, when i started keeping track of things i read a thread, not sure who wrote it, but it made…

when i stated this, about a month ago, i had no problem keeping things straight. In the last week, i find im having a hard time getting even the 1200 cals. It is not because i am eating less...but rather eating more "wholesome". I have started making everything from scratch, so i can keep track of carb, fat and…

personally i believe homemade foods are much healthier. I make most of our foods from scratch now, and when i put the recipes together with the nutritional breakdown...there is a huge difference. Most processed foods include hords of sodium..and other preservatives so that it can last longer. Most of these things are not…

i don't think there is any one thing that makes me eat...unless you count my hand...:tongue: i just eat, unfortunately. It is just a plain old obsession for me. I eat for a reason, or for no reason at all. I love food, i love cooking, i love recipes, i love flavors, i love absolutely everything about the food i…

whadda ya mean Canada being part of USA??? I think the USA is going to become a part of Canada.... :tongue: :laugh: :laugh: :smooched: just friendly jokes

What my Lifestyle change means to me: i can do...again I can do my bra up, behind me...again i can do up my winter jacket without splitting the zipper... again i can sit comfortably in my car, and reach the pedals...again i can shovel the walk without being winded...again i can climb the stairs, carriing laundry, without…

i have to agree with you, peggy...this site is one of my many tools that takes the work out of eating healthy. MFP makes things fun and exciting, instead of confusing and frustrating. I think that is the reason people have success here, they don't feel like giving up. I've only been here a month, but usually by now, i have…

be "thankful" that the day after thanksgiving....you have mfp to come back to....:wink:

me? i weighed 348 when i started near the end of October. I battle Diabetes and an underactive Thyroid, which makes it harder to loose weight. So far i m down 7 lbs. I go to curves 5x week, and my first weigh and measurment is coming up on the 29th. My goal is to be down a total of 10 by then. Might just squeak it in…

kjllose: is that the newer you in the pic?

deanea That sucks!!! I can certainly see why you are discouraged. lol...everything that i want to type for this line is a chiche, lol. Bottom line...you just have to get creative. There are lots of things you can still do. I think cmriverside mentioned in a former topic...go walking, with your crutches. I know you can do…

This is a great topic. It sure is easy in the day to day to forget the basics, and the reasons why we are all doing what we do. This may sound weird, but then again, there may be a few people out there that understand completey. I want my outside to match my inside. I don't feel fat on the inside. I feel like a beautiful,…

i started doing Curves about 4 weeks now. I think it is awesome. I go everyday, and i sweat. It is deffinatly a ratio kind of exercise. What you put into it, equals what you get out of it. I find i am able to comfortably do my circuit at about 75-80% heart rate, without too much difficulty. Although Mondays are the worst,…

i thought the same thing, redalee...but i figure, what the heck...there seem to be a lot of canadians on this site. Besides what will our friends to the south do when they come here, but still want to keep track?:wink: The more variety, the better chance we will find what we are looking for. Even if it is a different…

uhhhggg I know, there are others worse off than i, i keep trying to remember, but i feel like crap. Woke up with a cold. That isn't the part that bothers me, so much as the cold remedies totally kill my caloric count. I didn't eat a whole lot today, but i went over, cause of the cough syrup, and honey(in hot water with…

i started doing this book...sos help for emotioins. it is pretty good, i helps me to recognise my different emotions and deal with them in better ways. it takes work and determination...but then again, if we are here on this site, we already have those character traits, right? Bonus part is, when i notice i am going…

way to go icandoit!!!! maybe banks will let you get away with it, lol...i mean, it was your annual physical...you can't help it they have the sscales where it is right in front of your face, lol...:laugh: :laugh: i think the fact you lost 15 lbs is totally awesome.

umm...one word if i may.... WOW!!!! that is so awesome, way to go so, ok, more than one word. :bigsmile:

i had heard about, and read about the GI ...but still find it incredibly confusing...i wish they had someone that could outright teach it to me. I do much better that way.

way to go!!!! give yourself a pat on the back for that one, zoebeth redalee...that is the greatest thing about loosing weight...we can always start again, lol... we all have days like that...so what are you drawing today? giggles

Rewards are tough...especially since all my life food has been a reward my budget is extreemly tight, so buying things is kinda on the outside edge. (although, im dieing for the day i can buy something at Value Village again:bigsmile: ) So far i too have drawn a bit of a blank. My hubby is really great about giving me…

lol...i love it!!!

Kbrain.... please allow me to assure you, things will indeed get better. Your being here ensures that. About 6 weeks ago, my Dr ordered me to take sick leave from my job, cause i could no longer move, without possibly injuring myself or my clients...i work with the elderly. I had gained 70 lbs in this year. I am diabetic,…

yayyyyy i can add them to my favorites!!!

I think you are normal Either that or both you and i are totally out to lunch, lol Motivation is hard to hang on to, for me. I am super charged in the beginning and have great ideas, charge ahead tackling anything that gets in my way. And it works....for a while....then i slow down....get bored....think, oh, one day won't…

This is such a real thing for us women. So many things are going on with us at "that time of the month", it's enough to make your head spin. I have found a lot of the above mentioned things to work...Multi vitamin, herbs such as Dong Quai, but talk to your doctor first. Taking special time out for myself at this time…

I debated what catagory to put this under... I believe i have found the greatest cook book ever. It is simple to use, does virtually everything but stir the pot. It is for us everyday people, absolutly every ingredient, we have already in our kitchens. It measusres out portions, gives you nutrition breakdown, calorie…
