Hi there! I'm 29 and holding, 5'5, 193 down from 231. I would love to lose another 50lbs ultimately, but short term would love to hit my lowest adult weight (179) by my next 29th birthday in August. I would love to join the group of like minded ladies. (Just recently started crossfit so hopefully that will help with my…

Found this recipe from Todd Wilbur, the guy who tries to recreate all the fast food. Haven't tried it yet but sounds good. ~WENDY'S FROSTY~ Ingredients: 3/4 c. milk (You could use 2% Borden's High-Protein milk.) 1/4 c. Nestle Nesquik chocolate-drink powder (You could use Nestle's Nesquik No Sugar Added.) 4 c. vanilla ice…

Thanks everyone great support and information!!!! :flowerforyou: Love my MFP support system!

Thanks everyone. I read online (whether or not its true I'm not sure but sure makes sense) that smoking due to increased heart rate etc. burns around 200 cals a day if your smoking an entire pack a day. Plus the things like increased hunger, better taste, boredom etc causes weight gain when stopping smoking. I'm going to…

Bump for my rump!

I'm in the same boat as you. I've lost 15 lbs with probably closer to 60 more lbs to lose. I haven't noticed any inches lost but today I got to thinking that I would try on the pants I wore when I got married in March because I remember really having to suck it in to get them to button. I put them on today and didn't have…

Congrats! Don't give up. I quit for a year and a half and then started back around 8 months ago during a high stress time. The first couple of days that I started back the taste was horrible but I just kept puffing looking for some relief and now here I am 8 months later right back where I started. Even tried to quit again…

Thanks everyone for all the great info. I'm thinking I probably brewed it too long. I've not really had any experience brewing my own teas. The only reason I was trying to find a tea that I liked to drink is because I've finally weaned myself from Sprite Zero! I've been drowning myself in water but missed having something…

I just looked up the ingredients to the Lipton tea ( WATER, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE (TO PROTECT FLAVOR), GREEN TEA, NATURAL FLAVOR, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), PHOSPHORIC ACID, POTASSIUM SORBATE (PRESERVES FRESHNESS), ASPARTAME, ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, CITRUS PECTIN, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (TO PROTECT FLAVOR) I'm…

Thanks everyone for the comments. Seems like it depends on your taste. I really love pasta so I'm afraid that they may not be for me. I wouldnt care to try them if they were sold locally but I would have order online and have them shipped. I think unless I find them in a local store I'll just stick to ww pasta and and try…

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know he was deployed! Thank you both for his service! Because your husband does what he does is the reason I can look forward to mine coming home this evening. If worst comes to worst wait until they are asleep and get in a few minutes. I've had to do that a few times. Makes it hard to go to sleep…

Is your husband at work and will he be home this evening? My motivation has just been shot out the window today too. I also have a teething baby and wild toddler running around. I plan on getting the hubby to watch the babies for me this evening just long enough to get a little exercise in at least. I put on some music…

Thanks so much everyone for the ideas. Will put them to good work!

Thanks so much for all the great suggestions. Absolutely love MFP and all the great advice I can get. I should also add that I don't plan to elminate squats because I know they are super effective but the reason I asked the question was because it seemed that I was getting more of a burn in my thighs than in my butt. So I…

Hmmmm frosted strawberry my faves!! lol Not a healthy option though. Don't see a problem eating them as an occasional splurge though.

This happens to me sometimes too, I also believe its just a dip in your blood sugar. The go to quick fix is a glass of orange juice or maybe a protein bar that has some sugar in it. It'll have you back to normal in just a few minutes.=) But if it happens very frequently or gets worse I would discuss it with your doctor at…

Sew1222 I can tell a difference....you can see more of the tattoo on your back! Great job! :wink:

I'm not sure but I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that those 4lbs I lost was partly water weight considering it came off so quickly. I do see that I eat a lot of processed foods and living on a very low budget is partly to blame ( I say partly because I could try a little more to eat more raw foods.) I think one thing…

^^^^^^^^^^^^Love this^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well when I initially signed up for MFP I was only eating like 1,000 to 1,200 cals a day and just felt awful. MFP told me to eat around 1,600 and thats normally what I try to stay around now because I know that 1,000 was just too low. Although, the thought of eating back calories I earned from exercise just makes me…

Ohh and sorry I thought my diary was open, must have it just open to friends... will open it to public.

Well I have been trying to eat healthier and exercise more since I had my daughter 2 years ago. Before that it was just dieting, like I would do atkins for awhile and then return to my unhealthy eating. But now I understand thatc this is a change I must make for the rest of my life. I have noticed that since I started…

35??

Hi, I'm also pale! My mother and grandmother are redheads. I'm a brunette however I must have more of the redhead gene in me because I burn and peel also. I don't like tanning beds. I love my mother with all my heart and I think that she is beautiful however she has laid in the tanning bed since the 80s and the pores on…

It is not immpossible to have a baby at th weight. I got pregnant with my daughter at 250lbs. However, I was not diabetic and didn't develop GD. I was very very lucky. I had to return to the dr several times to have my sugar tested and it was so much aggravation. I ended up having a c-section. I'll never know completely…
