I don't know if anyone said Rooibos yet, but it's wonderful! I do put sweetener and milk

Hi Kizzies, I sent you a friend request. I can't lose weight exercising and it's frustrating as heck!

Ok, Here's my take. I was on dating sites for years until I found my husband. It's tough out there to find the person you want to be with, and the person who also wants to be with you. Don't get your hopes pinned to one introductory email to a person who may or may not be who they say they are either in the profile or the…

Thanks!! based on your suggestion, I looked up a calculator http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ to get TDEE. so TDEE is 2028. If I eat a couple hundred below that as suggested, I will be at 10% under TDEE, 1825 per day. It seems like a lot, so I did 15% which was 1724, and 20% which was 1622. The 1622, 20% below…

Grew up in Lansing, lived in Gaylord, now in Northville. Hi!

I'm 38, have at least 20 to go though. been going to circuit training trying for 4-5 days a week for the last month now and diary is open to friends :)

I'm also having trouble, and think I may be eating at too big a deficit. I have a lot of confusion. Are you saying here that I should eat my RMR number as NET calories or TOTAL calories? Right now, Total calories, I get like 1500, net of exercise is more like 1100 or 1000. Per calculator: BMR 2,041 RMR 1,899 (at lightly…

I'm having thyroid trouble too, newly diagnosed several mos ago. Still struggling for each pound, even watching cals and working out... what do you do for the thyroid issue, if you don't mind my asking? gina (anyone reading pls add me as a friend if you're inclined :flowerforyou: )

19 lbs since Jan 2012.

OKcupid.com is where my husband and I met.

This.

My first wedding was 200 people, big white dress, church etc... and I did not like it one bit. I did it all myself on a budget and it was very stressful. This time we decided on a local "tea house" with a gazebo that we got married in. I think we had 40 ppl total under tents in case of rain, and having the wedding and…

I went to the "roll my own" thing. I'd do like a pack at a time, but then it got really boring. So much so that it wasn't worth the effort for me to keep smoking if I had to make them myself! Then when I was down to like 3 cigs a day I was like, "why am I still doing this?"

Unlike the unsubstantiated claims of OTC pills, the Alli is actually a half-strength version of a prescription wt loss pill. I take 2 alli and it REALLY WORKS. Of course you still have to watch and eat low fat, but that's the point.

You should open up your diary so people can look & see where you can improve.

we must have the same body type... 5'2" for me, and want to get to 140. When I was sick I got to 118 and looked TERRIBLE

I feel so guilty that I signed up to do this then had to be deleted. :(

I feel you on the "have to eat something from the microwave at work" thing. Very difficult to be healthy. sometimes I don't feel filled up by a say, lean cuisine meal, so a good way to keep cals down and get more bulk would be to get some green giant steamable vegetable packs to go along with the microwave diet dinner.…

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYBODY! I went with a work friend at lunch and we both signed up. I will upgrade to the Black plan if Hubs decides he wants to use it so we can both go to the one by our house, and I can go to the one by my work. It was nice, clean, not crowded AT ALL. I hope I can do the upgrade, because the massage…

If you go to PF then you will only have to get one $20 membership, as you can bring a guest.

I made this one time, and my picky hubs and boy both thought it was pretty good, but also my son thought it was "weird". Haven't made it again due to it being so labor intensive. The pizza stone helps to have it be not soggy.

Hey yo! I think I dated a guy with a Brighton PF card on his keychain lol. Glad to hear the MI ones aren't sucky. thanks for the advice!

I bought a book, "lift like a lady" or something like that because it was recommended to me from another MFPal. Hoping this one here has the weights I want, because honestly, I hate jogging & the like. Definitely going to check it out on the lunch hour with a friend who's ready to join TODAY!! lol. Thanks for all the…

I like a company with a sense of community. thanks!

Cool. Yeah, I like the idea of a "judgement-free zone" like they advertise, hoping that's just not hype. I'm not gross looking or anything but far from ideal, and you won't catch me in a bikini (yet).

Thanks for the recommendation!

OH!!! :) I get it durr... I never saw their ad, so apparently I'm out of the loop. In fact, I don't remember seeing any ads on TV for them at all, just flyers we get in the mail and newspaper ads.

Yeah, the price is sure right. thanks for the review!

I was wondering if PF had any kind of class offering.

Very very good stuff. thanks! I would upgrade to the "black" just for the tanning, I think (in MI pretty cold and S.A.D. is common in winter w/ no sun and also... I'm just plain pasty). Hoping to convince hubs that he wants to go w/ me on weekends to the one by our house so I can upgrade to black. Then it'd be worth it to…
