Awesome post... love the explanation of the TDEE and BMR and the need to eat back exercise calories. All the acronyms on this site were kinda confusing, but now I understand this all a lot better! So glad to have read this! =) Off to exercise and then eat some or most of it back lol!!

Probably doesn't count as famous to anyone on here, but if you have a preschooler, or a little one, it was awesome. We met the Fresh Beat Band (from Nick Jr.), paid $300 for a family of 3 to see their concert and do the meet and greet, but so worth it. They may not be "famous" per say based on the names ppl have listed on…

this^^^^^ yessss! omg the green one was my fav. and someone said ecto coolers. When I was a kid I would go to the local doughnut shop with my mom and brother and would always have the same thing. A buttermilk bar and and ecto cooler =D man those were the days! lol

to everyone who said dunkaroos (idk how to quote more than one person) I found them at Walmart. I saw them and was like whaaaat? they still sell these?! lol. So I got my son some =)

Great Ideas, I was getting so burnt out on string cheese!! Lol. Anyone got any other ideas to use apples? I want to eat more fruits, but bananas don't like me.. but I love them. They kill my stomach (pain straight from HELL indescribable.. possible allergy to uncooked or something-- been looking into it on google lol, =(…

I started with nothing, then moved up to (no joke) 2 direct tv remotes lol. They were the exact same size and weight and the only thing I had handy that didn't make my arms feel like total Jello. Then I thought... oh I'm a wimp! So I found some 5 pound weights. Oh man, the next day I could barely move my arms. That didn't…

I'm 5'5" and my GW is 165. When I was 17 or 18 I was 165 and was skinny and my collar bones were prominent. Now that I am a mom, I don't know how that weight will look on me now that my body comp is different. So my GW may end up being much lower than what it is now, just can't wait to get there to see how I look lol.…

228? Where?!! You look amazing. I am at 224 atm just goes to show, no two bodies are exactly alike. hope I look half as good as you do now once Im at goal!! :wink:

I am... *nervous smile & laughter* It will be my first weigh in since starting to exercise again. I was going to the gym a lot from December to January, then I got bronchitis for 4 MONTHS ugh! Finally shook that and am essentially starting over, tho I have been logging my food and everything for a while now. I was lucky to…

I also was doing Jillian 30 ds tonight and my left knee just wasn't having it. =( I kept going (at a slower pace) but hopefully I didn't hurt it. Today is just day 3 and only day 7 of me working out for the first time in 4 months and before that it had been 3 years, and before that...NEVER! I don't want to give up or have…

I can't wait for this to be me. And how true is the statement: It was so nice to have to decide on which outfit I liked the best, instead which outfit best hid the fat!

here's my 2 cents... When I met my sons father, we were both over weight. when I think about myself now back then.. I really WIIIISH I was there now or could have told myself that I was good where I was. now that we have broken up, we are still both overweight, but working to get healthy. I don't look at people for what…

I love this!!!! Though my spelling isn't always on par.. I try to make up for it using humor lol. Plus I do a lot of MFP with a 3yr old crazily running around up and down into my lap.. or right after I work out.. Shakily writing is hard but it is my quiet moment to think about what could be (success stories) and how my…

Funny you posted this topic, when I was at the store today I stood there in the exercise area thinking... I never thought I'd be here buying an exercise related item.. Kinda felt like everyone was like what's that fat chick doing over there with thaaaat stuff =( but this is me and who I am now. Onto my actual answer..... I…

Oh wow!!! what an inspiration you are!! Congrats on a total life transformation.. and your wife as well! WTG =D

Thanks for the replies =) I actually just finished day 1 (@12:46 am Saturday local time) using the suggestion to check it out on youtube. I am so exhausted but so happy at the same time that I finished. I had been doing Billy Blanks Boot Camp (the tae bo quy) and doing it alone I spent more time figuring out how to move…

1st thought: Oh man, they stillll make those? 2nd thought: She must have taken very GOOD care of it to last so long =/ 3rd thought: Maybe her family had it in a time capsule in the back yard and dug it up and gave it new batteries lol what's old is new and what's new is old or something like that! Final Thought: She must…

The stupidity of people never quits amazing me... in a not good way. I would just like to say that while to them you may be fat, but really you are beautiful because you are you. They don't know your struggle and they are probably sad or depressed on the inside too. It is just easier to point out others' problem areas or…

Popchips MFP--several times a day for a long time each time.. people and their success stories. Want to be one of those SO bad!! OMG EDIT to say::::: The Walking Dead.. is it October yet???? ^_^

1 word for you.. popchips!!! They are amazing and GOOD for you. They aren't baked or fried.. they apply pressure to potatoes and they pop and they are crunchy like chips. I had them for the 1st time yesterday and they were amazing! I had BBQ and you get 20 chips for just 120 cals. Doesn't sound like much, but 20 is a huge…
