Hey! Welcome to MFP! This site is perfect for motivation and learning!!

Hi and welcome to MFP!!

Welcome!!

Hi, and welcome!!! Friend request sent!! Congrats on your weight loss and you WILL reach your goals!!!

If you are going out extremely rarely, you are in charge of his eating most of the time, making meals at home. Every once in a while when you go out, easing up would not be horrible- offer your son a choice when he is old enough to choose, of a healthy option choice with the "junk" food. A hamburger from Burger King and…

Hi and welcome!! EVERY pound lost is a big deal!! Enjoy the small success that you have not gained all 11 pounds back, get back in the rhythm..... You will do great!!

way to go!!!

Wow!! That is fantastic!! :flowerforyou:

Hi there! There are so many variables to weight loss. Are you exercising? Maybe a walk everyday would help you reach your goal. What are you drinking? Is there a lot of sugar in your food or drinks? I am not a vegetarian, so I really cannot help with meals for vegetarians, but there is so much else that can be changed. You…

Hi Tracy! Welcome to MFP!! This site is wonderful. People are supportive and motivational!! :flowerforyou:

Way to go!!

I got a calendar out, and marked my exercise time like an appointment. I have 5 mandatory (to myself) appointments and two optional- Wednesday and Sunday are optional. Also write down something motivational to read before each workout. It can be something as simple as "I CAN do this" or 5K is _______ away!! You will find…

You CAN do this, you WILL do great!!! Have a great day!:flowerforyou:

Some days I am hungry earlier in the day and some days it is later. That is just the way my body works. Keep going!! The days I am hungrier early I take an extra walk in the evening to allow for a few more calories, should I choose to eat something later also. Good Luck!! You CAN do this!!

Welcome !! I have learned so much from this site!! Wishing you the best!!

Weight loss, just like life, is made up of small moments. Enjoy the success!! You are doing great!

Wow, congratulations!!! You look awesome!!!

You can do this. Remember, small steps. A little walk is better than no walk. What about the kids, would they like to go for a walk after dinner? Including the family allows for a lot of quality time. As for budgeting for a family of four, what is your grocery bill like now? Can you replace some of the less healthy choices…

I love the show, too!! I wonder how it would feel to go from thin to heavy- and have to deal with all your own thoughts and stereotypes you have made of fat people. I especially loved (and identified with) the episode where she realizes people are "body-checking" her.

WAY TO GO!!! Celebrate all the victories- every pound is a BIG DEAL!!!! You are doing great, enjoy YOUR SUCCESS, YOU DID IT!!!!!!

Hi, I am starting back again. Good luck to you and Dru!! .

I was told that it doesn't really matter where you are measuring, as long as you are in the area- the key is to make sure you measure the same place on your body everytime. If you are measuing your tummy, and you measure at the belly button, make sure that is where you measure every time. It made sense to me, am I making…

Hi!:happy: I am a diabetic also, looking to become healthier. A diabetic group would be great, my doctor told me I was diabetic, gave me a pill to take twice a day and told me to check my sugar. Unfortunately, that was the extent of his concern for my health. (Looking for a new doctor, too)

Way to go!!:flowerforyou: I haven't had to go to the grocery store hungry yet, I am nervous about it.

My name is Cyndi. I have a lot of health issues and am extremely overweight. I am trying to see how many of my health issues can be resolved with losing the weight that I have accumulated over the years. Does anyone have any ideas to help me keep motivated other than the obvious- to become healthy?

Thank you! :flowerforyou:

I was looking for the same answer. Thanks!! Cyndi
