This sounds great!!! I will be trying this very soon! Thanks

Woot Woot...WTG!!!! I love me some shopping too, unfortunately I am having a hard time finding clothes that I like since I don't want to spend a lot of money on clothes that have only been lasting about 1-1.5 months. Again, WTG!!

A good friend of mine lost someone close to hear to ALS. I knew what it was but never thought of it in the way you described. What a horrible thing for someone to go through. Thank you for sharing your story.

I have the same problem. What boggles my mind is when I work out I don't work out until almost 4 in the afternoon and prior to my run is when I am the hungriest. Usually after my workout I can eat a normal dinner but from the time I wake up to the time I work out I feel like a bottomless pit (no matter how much protein I…

I tried EAS the other day and LOVED it!!!

I would agree that using an elliptical is not the same as running or walking outside or on a treadmill. It is a completely different type of workout (although most people think of it as low impact walking/running).

I ran into the same problem when I quit smoking. I put on almost 40 lbs in a short amount of time. I found for me it was an oral fixation. Since I wasn't putting the cigarette up to my mouth I put food up to it instead. Try chewing gum or sucking on a piece sugar free candy. You can also try to do something that keeps your…

If you are looking for support you came to the right place! Congrats on the engagement!!

I would definitely stop tracking your sugar and track something else. Unfortunately, MFP doesn't distinguish between natural and artificial sugar so if you are eating a lot of fruit like you should be, then your sugar is always going to be over which in turn could potentially leave you feeling defeated.

I'm In!

I tried WW and wasn't a big fan. Only have 23 points per day was a lot more intimidating then being allowed 1200 calories per day. On WW I felt like I was depriving and starving myself. I would yo yo back and forth. The most I lost was 10 lbs but that number would fall and then rise and then fall. WW also only looks at…

Well you definitely came to the right place. You can add me as a friend if you would like....can never have too much support! Good luck on your journey!!

I don't know what you are talking about...I can definitely tell a difference. I think because we still have the picture in our head of what we looked at day in and day out it is hard to see past that. I here a lot of stories about people that lose a bunch of weight and look fantastic but still see the "fat girl" when they…

Wish I lived in the area because it sounds like a great/fun cause. What a great idea though, hope you have a good turnout!

I have become really fond of using spicy brown mustard and banana peppers lately.

I wear Brooks and they are the only shoes I have found that I like for running. I know they have a website so that might be some place to look into. Do you run inside or out? If you run inside I would find out what the return policy is if you don't wear them outside...that way you can try them out a couple times and return…

Welcome.

I agree getting motivated is the hardest part. I have found the accountability from this website has help a ton, as well as the support for the people here. One thing you can do to jump start your motivation is either do your work out in the morning before you go in (unless you are like me and can't force yourself out of…

Welcome and congrats!!

NIke+ for ipod will do this. You calibrate your stride and then enter in your weight and age. It will tell you time, distance, pace, and calories burned.

I use the on a daily basis and I go with the Nike+ for my calories burned. Make sure that you have it calibrated to you stride and have your weight set appropriately. I like to think in my head that Nike+ is more accurate then MFP since it is calibrated to my stride, but who knows.

Thanks:bigsmile:

Welcome. The way I see it is you don't always fail...you only fail if you stop trying. Just remember to take it one day at a time and if one day isn't so great there is always tomorrow!! Good luck:bigsmile:

Good luck and welcome!

You have definitely come to the right place...Welcome!!

Welcome and good luck on your journey:bigsmile:

It is worth a try...if you don't like it you are out a few $...if you do like it you just found a great way to save calories!!!!
