  • I agree with anchorageb2 that the kind of fasting "experts" talk about is the long sustained going without food(many days). I personally don't think fasting once a month for 2 meals is going to hurt weight loss. When I am obedient to what the Lord asks, I know he will bless me. And fasting is a way for me to show obedience…
  • I am thankful my family was kept safe during tornadoes last night(in Alabama). We had severe thunderstorms/lightning and rain. But luckily, the tornado passed us. The sirens went off around 3:15am and my children woke up scared. We've only lived in Alabama for 7 months (originally from UT) and are still getting used to the…
  • I am thankful my kids let me exercise today without being disturbed! My daughter did a fabulous job of watching her little brother while I did my workout DVD. And now I feel so much better that I got my exercise in today.
  • I have a similar yet different situation. My kids are very picky (and my husband too, I guess). So when I cook a meal, they cry and complain that it's disgusting and not fair that I make them eat it. If it's not chicken nuggets, breakfast foods, mac and cheese my kids don't want to eat it. So I easily get frustrated…
  • Today I am thankful for sweet little spirits that remind us what is important. My 5 year old daughter has been practicing all day to put on a "show" for us tonight. She got dressed in her pink princess gown and dimmed the lights for her show. She danced to "I Loved Her First." (she picked the song). My husband and I both…
  • I love this. Thanks so much. I am just starting out and read all the success stories to keep me motivated. I keep telling myself I will have my own success story soon. Thanks for sharing, it helped me.
  • Yes, the little ones are so fun. I worked for a long time in 1 (of 3) of my ward's nurseries. Each Sunday I had 20-24 18 month olds! It was so hectic, but I loved it. They are so sweet and love to learn and sing. Now I live in a much smaller ward and get to be involved with all ages. It is so amazing to see their…

  • Congrats! I am so excited to get that number
  • I am just starting out and I love reading these stories and seeing pics because it helps me stay motivated. I have to remind myself that I will get there but I have to keep working. And some day, I will be sharing my success story. Thanks!
  • I'd been wondering that too. I'm new as well and still trying to learn the lingo

  • I'm a stay at home mom of 3 too. 7 yrs, 5yrs, and 20mos. My husband works crazy hours and is rarely home. So I'm left to my own devices for entertainment.....thus I need to lose weight! I would love to have another SAHM who can help me stay motivated even when I've been up 4 times in the night with the baby and the last…
  • I completely understand! I just started MFP last week and already started to get discouraged because I've been wanting treats (and gave in). I'm 5'3 and have about 75lbs I want to lose. Looking around at everyone's posts has motivated me today to do better. I just have to make the decision to do better, and I'll probably…
