Way to go!!! You look fabulous :flowerforyou:

I was a new mom .. 4 1/2 years ago. The best workout I got was going for walks while pushing the stroller. Seriously! Just walking and the added resistance of the stroller is awesome ... especially up hill. As someone mentioned, it took 9 months to put the weight on and it will take that many months or longer to get it off…

Welcome :flowerforyou:

Greetings and welcome! I love food as well .. that's why I'm here .. to get a grip on it :) I hope you find it as informative and supportive as I do :flowerforyou:

Awesome first step. You may want to blog about it too. It helps me stay accountable :)

Congrats!! I used to be over 200 .. for YEARS and just got under it in May. It's a great feeling :)

Not early. I've had decorations up since the middle of Nov. including the tree!! Thanks to my daughter getting all excited when the neighbours across the street turned their lights on on Nov 13th or so. I put the outside lights up but I won't turn them on until Dec 1st.

Welcome and best of luck on your weight loss journey. It's a lot of work but well worth it. I'm a long way from my big goal as well. Just set smaller goals and before you know it, you'll be there :)

Welcome to MFP. I agree, a month really isn't enough time to lose much weight but you will get a good idea of what to do and not do by reading the board and watching your foods. Lifestyle changes are all about choices and by choosing to be here is the first step so you'll be well on your way before you know it. Most…

People who aren't watching the foods they eat just don't understand do difficult id is for us. Peer pressure follows us all through life unfortunately. Try having healthier snack foods handy and when she offers you some of her junk food, politely tell her that you have your own?? not sure how that would work. I go through…

Good morning .. Happy Friday!! I hope you all have a great weekend. What are your plans? Me: nothing much. Hubby is working late tonight and working tomorrow and then he's traveling on Sunday to buy parts for my car to try to get it on the road. My weekend plans generally run the same as they do through the week. Yes,…

I really want to try the Wii version. I'm an introvert and prefer to embarrass myself in my own home with the blinds closed as opposed to taking a class. I looked up Zumba on YouTube last week and it looks like a lot of fun.

I see we have a few Provinces represented. That's great!!

I blog there. dog2diva

Toronto is fun. I lived in the K-W area as well as Elmira and Stratford. Yes, we were Gypsy's of sorts it seems. LOVED Canada's Wonderland and Niagara Falls.

Yeah what is it .. like - a zillion degrees out in AB these days? I have friends in Calgary/Airdrie and they've been moaning about the cold as well as my friends in E town. Brr!!! I do not miss those temps at all.

Sent out the request. I've been to Hamilton. Hated all the one way streets . .haha!!

That's awesome! Enjoy the concert :smile:

Hello from Canada as well .. haha!! East Cast though :)

It's not Thanksgiving here (Canada) so no slacking off for me.

Hang in there. Tomorrow is a clean slate :)

Thanks! I was just curious what the norm was. I only wear a lightweight shirt and pants but I see sauna suits and things being sold at Walmart to make you sweat more. I thought that's what I was supposed to be doing. Looks like I'm dressing properly as I am.

Welcome to the forum section. It's full of supportive people which is awesome for motivation :)

I had a Blue Menu 9 vegetable patty on a weight watchers whole wheat bagel with calorie wise miracle whip. Some Activia Yogurt and a 2 veggie portion of V8.

I know for a fact that without MFP my weight would creep back up because my eating habits would go back to being poor and uncontrolled. I leave, try it on my own and don't see the results I get when I'm active on this site.

That's an awesome problem to have. I buy my clothes from thrift stores during my loss so I don't throw money away buy having to buy new stuff at full retail price several times a year. Then I just donate my old, bigger clothes back to a charitable thrift store. More people benefit from my weight loss, LOL. When I hit a…

Definitely 1 to all situations listed. I have a cousin who has cheated on her boyfriends, cheated on her husband, they parted ways and now she's back to cheating on boyfriends while technically still married. Cheating is never good.

Facebook: Farmville and Frontierville. Stupid waste of time that I can't seem to break. My time would be better spent burning calories :)

Our Thanksgiving was in October (Canada) and I can recall pigging out. It happens I was "off the wagon" at the time so that didn't help at all. If I were to have a big feast today I'd have the turkey and load up on veggies and skip the potatoes and gravy. Easier said than done I suppose.

Welcome to MFP!
