hi we live on base in Wainwright, ab also 33y/o married with 2 girls :)

these all sound great - thanks for the ideas :)

welcome :) you will find so many supportive people on here!

Lady Eden Beck Kirby.... great idea :)

I don't eat the best everyday - I have good and bad days but track it all anyways (ate 4 cookies today oops lol)... I'm picky about certain things and have a sweet tooth - I picked up some fruit and veggies for healthier snacks we'll see how it goes!

Hi, my goals are to lose 5 lbs, get thru the 30 day shred (I will be done exactly on my birthday)... add me if you like - I workout everyday and keep a diary even when I haven't eaten as well as I should have!

hi orginally from big town of Wawa, ON - lived in Sault ste Marie then hubby joined CF and we got posted to Alberta :) add me if you like don't have many ON friends who are on this site! I'm doing JM's 30 Day shred - on day 6 today as well as her Banish fat boost metabolism - killer workouts and hope to see some great…

added you and for anyone else here, feel free to add me - I'm on here daily and support my mfp friends all the way - we can do it!

it's a tough balance for sure! I have 2 daughters (aged 12 and 13) the oldest LOVES gym class and does her best to beat her times when running or doing any activity - she's a typical oldest child I suppose and very competitive... right now she's doing 6 pack abs in 6 weeks (Jillian Michael workout) to look good in her…

do it for yourself... I'm halfway to my goal and hubby could care less... family is far away but they try and be there for me when he's not... he has 50+lbs to lose himself and I think he hopes I will just give up and stay the same so he doesn't have to put in any effort to lose weight... but I'm doing me! I've put on…

snack size chips or 100 calorie redenbacker popcorn is pretty decent...

road trip from Alberta to Ontario to show off the new me to family and friends back home that I haven't seen in almost 2 years :)

I'm the same - kids and hubby are asleep hours before me, it's especially tough thru the winters and hubby has to get up at 4 am for work so no way he can stay up later than he does - I bought some 100 calorie popcorn to crunch on and some sugar free del monte popsicles for something sweet (just 35 calories) at nite when a…

eat the 1200 plus some of your workout calories if you are hungry... also, on your food settings, add sugar so it shows how much sugar you are taking in everyday - I was surprised how much stuff has sugar that I didn't even realize... good luck!!

30 day shred is awesome - Jillian is great at wanting you to finish and not take breaks - can't wait to be shredded :) I'm on level 1 as well!!!

can you clarify on setting mfp up correctly? love more info thanks!

never heard of the site til a few weeks ago - wish I'd gotten my act together sooner but very glad to have ppl to talk about - sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers than friends about things like weight loss :) hope everyone had a great day!

interesting different opinions and thanks!

ok great advice thanks! definitely want to lose faster and I have about 50 lbs to go :)

hi I'm 33 as well and married to a military man... currently only working part time at the post office and trying to get in shape and be healthy for our 2 daughters (and my self of course!)

it was literally -51 with windchill here in Alberta this morning so you are lucky if you are able to walk outside - 5 mins or less and you'd have frostbite here... get out and walk, no excuses, do it for yourself only!!!

having similar issues - started on the 1st and have been eating fruit/veggies, staying around or under my calorie count, added 30 to 50 mins of exercise daily (was doing pretty much none before that) and haven't lost a pound! ugh... discouraged isn't even the word!!! keep at it :) takes 3 weeks for something to become a…

so inspiring congrats on the weight loss and gl hitting your goal!!!

work out different muscles if you do more than one workout with weights... definitely 30 mins of cardio a day and more if I have the time/motivation!

do some small weights maybe to tone? leg lifts if you are laying in bed... get up and walk for a bit if you are feeling like it - drink a lot of water and water down any juice you may drink to save on calories... hope this helps and feel better soon!

just started yesterday and already have 80 minutes done this week! good luck everyone! (not frigid here so far in Alberta hoping for this nice weather to continue) Monday - 30 mins elliptical and 20 min brisk walk, Tuesday 30 mins elliptical so far! woohoo!:happy:
