So what your saying is that kids that dont get spanked are disrespectful?? I beg to differ....As I said earlier, I have a 21 year old son, and an 18 yr old daughter. Both have always been very respectful, and I have never spanked/hit them. Both are in college and working full time jobs, and they turned out to be very well…

You can def discipline without spanking! You take privileges away, the things they care about the most and they will start to listen up! Every now and then they might need that firm grip of the arm to get their attention, but I dont think hitting does a damn thing. I have a 21 yr old son, and an 18 year old daughter, both…

I also was diagnosed with an under active thyroid about 4 months ago. I take Levothyroxine, but it has not hindered my weight loss. I think after your Dr. gets you on the right dose of medication, it will become a lot easier to lose. Dont give up! Just keep doing what your doing and you will see results. :flowerforyou:

sounds good! I def will give it a try! TY

You look beautiful! Keep it up!

Bump I'd like to know too. :smile:

Thats so cool you two got to meet up! Great picture! You both look Beautifull!!

bump, I want to save this one! :) thanks

Both of your post were very well said! I agree!

Congrats on all your success! Your doing great! I'm trying to get myself running now too, trying the C25K way, and I think it's working. Getting a little farther everyday.

Cw now 173 5lbs lost

I think it is because you are not far from your ideal weight. For people like myself, who found this website and found the answer to weight loss, which is as simple as counting calories and exercising it's a very serious thing, and I do take it very seriously. I do religiously add every single thing I put in my mouth. But…

I eat at least half of my excercise calories, been doing this since I started on July 1, 2010, and have consistently lost 2lbs every week. It works! Dont be afraid to eat those extra calories, just use them wisely.

Welcome back!

I have the Iphone and absolutely love it! Would get it again and again. But I do use the internet alot, and the MFP app. But if you have no intentions on using the internet, you might want to get something else. Alot of the phones AT&T offers requires some sort of data plan now.

Yes, I think your right, If I had taken before and after pictures in tighter workout clothes I'm sure the picture would show a bigger difference. I just couldnt stand the way I looked, and didnt want to see all the bumps and ugliness in those types of clothes....but I wish had now! I'm not down on myself at all, I feel…

You look fantastic! Nice Job!!

LMAO! See it's not that bad!:flowerforyou:

You are very young, I know at that age I sure didnt want my husband looking at other women, and I would be completely pissed off at the slightest glance. More than likely your thoughts on this will change as you get older. My daughter is almost 19, and I know she feels the same exact way you do right now. She thinks porn,…

The kindness, support, and inspiration that is here at MFP is very touching! I really look forward to seeing how everyone is doing everyday! and I definately spend more time here than facebook! :flowerforyou:

Yes Definately! Walking is an awesome excercise! I lost my first 15 or so pounds with JUST walking. Just keep stepping it up a notch every few weeks, and you will see results!

That is just awesome!! I'm wearing a comfortable 16 right now, and did the same thing as you....bought a 14 petite (i'm only 5') and figured I'd keep them til they fit, I really didnt even think I would get them all the way up, but I did! They actually buttoned and zipped....still just a tad too tight, but their on!! It is…

This website is absolutely awesome! Your going to love it here! Glad you could join us! :flowerforyou:

I volunteer at Hospice, so I hit up their thrift store every now and then and pick up some jeans there. I have gone from a tight 18, to a comfortable 16. Just an hour ago I was pulling all my clothes that are too big out of my closet, if anyone is in need of size 18 and wants to pay shipping just let me know and I'll be…

Every single day for me. Biking, walking, weights.

Wow! Nice job! You look absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

I'm in, CW 178

Good luck with your goals! Stick with MFP and you CAN do it!

I just started Level 1 yesterday, and woke up this morning like someone beat my quads with a bat all night!! I was wondering the same thing....push thru daily, or wait til the pain goes away. I can def tell it will work tho, no doubt about that!

Thank you for all the advice! I was looking at the enell's, but I'd like to find a retail store where I can try it on first. I like that the straps are adjustable. I'm short too...only 5', and it seems that the straps that arent adjustable are always too long. I"m going to try doubling up for now, and then I think I'll try…
