LOVE!!!!

I would like to join too!! I am 238 and would like to be 220 by Halloween (my FAVORITE holiday!!)!!!

I recently bought a HRM at Wal Mart for around 25 - 30 dollars. It works great! You wear it like a wristwatch and it is very accurate! My treadmill usually reads about 100-200 calories lower than my HRM, so it was totally worth it for me!

Thanks SHBoss1673!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: It does help!!:bigsmile: I thought there was no way that I had burned that many cals in 30 minutes, but now I feel great about it!!! :laugh:

I actually haven't thought much about it either. I guess being so big all this time I haven't really pictured myself skinny yet! WOW!! That is such a good question. I want to go to the beach and wear beach clothes. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I want to go to my 10-year high school reunion with a smile on my face. :laugh: :laugh:…

My weigh in is on Monday morning and last week (my 1st weigh in) I lost 6 pounds!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I can't wait until this Monday to see what the scale says, because I have been working SOOO hard!! :tongue: :tongue: Congrats on your weight loss!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Hope…

Your story and mine are almost identical. I was thin growing up and then after having my kids I was 30 lbs heavier than I was at 9 months pregnant!!:sad: :sad: I basically couldn't even get off the couch without running out of breath. I wasn't dieting at the time, but I just knew that it had to be something else besides…

Thanks so much!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I would be delighted to log my HRM over the treadmill, I just wanted to get a second opinion!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: No, my HRM is on my wrist, does that make a difference??? :huh:

I think you are going to do GREAT!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I too am a mother to small children, and it is very easy to just grab something quick and fattening when you are chasing them around. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: You have made the conscious decision to lose weight and it WILL happen! I just know it!:happy: PS: What…

Good luck!! You can do it!! :flowerforyou:

Thats funny!! :laugh: Way to go on the weight loss! :flowerforyou:

Anything by Pink............as loud as you can get it!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: THANKS ALL!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Mine will be 8 pm too! This should be interesting!!!:laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :laugh: :laugh: That made me laugh out loud!!! Since I'm only on week three, I think that time is coming up for me. The cravings are soooo intense right now!! And my DH brought home GIRLSCOUT COOKIES!!!!! Speaking of fist fights...... Anyway, I hope I can control it…

I made my mother's recipe for her "Cowboy Stew" last night and I ate a bowl of it. :bigsmile: The problem is, I have no clue how many exact calories are in it!! :noway: Can anyone help me with this?? :sad: The stew only has a few ingredients, most that are pretty good for you and it is YUMMY!! :wink: 1 lb of lean hamburger…

I'm having the same problem. I love my WiiFit, but I don't know how to log it here. So, since the workouts are only a few minutes each, I do an extra 10 minutes or so. I log mine under aerobics;general. :bigsmile: My favorites are stepping, hula hoop, and I recently unlocked Rhythym boxing!! So fun, and if you punch with a…

Congrats Juanita!!!!! :happy: :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: I can't wait for that feeling!!!! :bigsmile:

Coca Cola. It is definitely my Kryptonite. But as far as food goes, Pizza, Hot Wings, Loaded Mashed Potatoes, macaroni..............................Ok that's enough!!!!! Did I mention Milky Ways? And Chicken Fried Steak? And Biscuits and Gravy?? But really, I don't "miss" those things. Those things made me heavy, lazy, and…

I'm new at this and I asked the same question a few days ago. Here is how I understand it. You are supposed to eat your recommended calories per day. Then, your exercise gives you more calories to consume (the ones you burned). You are supposed to eat those exercise calories so that your body doesn't go into starvation…

Me too!!! Hook 'em!!

Where in Texas?

I agree with you about the Cowboys!!! :drinker: My plans are to go see my new nephew 3 hrs away and watch the "not so super" Bowl at my brother-in-law's house. I will be packing snacks and lots of water, taking my Wii fit and my recipe for homemade guacamole. And of course my Multigrain Tostitios!!! :bigsmile: Who says you…

My prayers are with you and your family. :flowerforyou:

The best kisses EVER!!!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I certainly did not roll my eyes!!! :flowerforyou: We are all human and we all make mistakes......even 450 calories worth!! :laugh: If we could do it alone, we wouldn't be on this site at all!!! :tongue: Be proud of yourself for the last few weeks and look back at yesterday and laugh.........it burns calories!!! :bigsmile:…

Thanks for all your advice!!!! I love workouts that are fun!! :flowerforyou: Haven't unlocked the boxing, but the stepping exercise is a favorite!! :bigsmile:

My super sweet husband surprised me with a Wii Fit yesterday!!! :bigsmile: I was soooo excited!! Well, I was just wondering if anyone has any advice as to the length of time I should do it, or if you have any pointers I could use. Thanks a lot!!! :flowerforyou: I think I burned 200 calories laughing at my husband…

Austin, Texas!!!! :drinker: Hook 'Em Horns!!!! :drinker:

Hey all my MFP friends!! I have an "aquaintance" who is overweight and not dieting or exercising. Well, she's pretty close to me and everytime we are around each other, she tries to make me cheat!! Stuff like "nobody will know', and "just this once", and "don't make me eat this all by myself". :explode: She also says stuff…
