I do know what you mean about GPs being demotivating though. When I saw mine on Thursday I told him I was keeping a food diary and recording my sugar levels along side to see how changing my diet affected them (knewly diagnosed with diabetes) His response was "You are just wasting my money and your time". How is that for…

Another great group is http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/109829-lose-5-pounds-a-month-august-2010-challenge?page=17#posts-1546795 The groups goal is to lose 5 lbs each month and is very supportive and fun. There is also a weekly fun side challenge that 3 of the ladies post for us (ie, try to eat 3 fruits 3days of the…

Sounds familiar, but I have been on BP meds for the last 8 months at age 39. I hate that:mad: . So I want to not only lose the weight and be healthier but also get off the meds. Even though the meds are the smallest dose possible, I still feel it was a sign that I was out of control. So keep it up! After starting MFP, I…

Dounia, that is so awesome!!! What a great idea and so fun. And a memorable night as well.

Ok...it's Wednesday and I totally forgot about this week's challenges. So tonight I made peanut-ginger noodles. Held back on some of the chili-garlic sauce & ginger b/c of the kids. Would like to try it again with full ingredients & some red pepper flakes. I plan on doing some DDR on the Wii with my daughter tomorrow. What…

Love all the posts...very inspirational! Just started my 2nd week, but: 1) I didn't know that if I worked out in the morning, that I wouldn't crash and need a nap at 3:00 p.m. Hope to add more!

Weighing in a day early b/c I won't be near a computer tomorrow. 8/1 197 8/6 194.5 I was starting to worry about not losing until I realized that I was drinking a lot of water late at night:drinker: . This then carried over into the morning when I was weighing myself throughout the week and it was going up, not down. So I…

Bump......I would like to know the answer to this, too.

Just finished my second day of 60 min exercise, despite the insane mugginess outside. Hope to finish my 2nd day of 3 fruits tonight with a plum. Worried about this weekend....birthday parties at my parents' house. Never anything really good to eat in the house, just lots of bad things that taste really good ;-)

All right.....I sucked it up and posted a before pic. SCARY!!!!! Very intimidating to put it out there for everyone to see. But there it is! Took the dog out this morning and managed 12 reps of 30sec walk/90sec jog and didn't pass out. Feel pretty good. I may even try the whole 30 minutes this week. Who would have thunk…

Perfect timing!!! I have a birthday party this weekend at my parent's house this weekend. Thanks!:flowerforyou:

OMG!!!! I jogged!!!! I was taking the dog on a walk for our daily excercise and we were about 20 minutes into it. I have been looking at the C25k and it seemed pretty daunting for someone my weight and my activity level. But I have read some of the posts from those with more weight than myself and decided to give it a…
