Not to mention dancing probably burns more calories than the treadmill if you keep it up, and tones your legs more. :)

:) That's great! It's always great to feel like we've accomplished something. Last time I went to a water park, I went with my aunt, her boyfriend, and my friend. All of us are over weight in varying degrees and we decided to get in one big float to go down this big slide. I argued that we should just split up but no....…

I weigh in on fridays. :ohwell: But I've got some good news! I went to seaworld yesterday with my friends, and to my surprise and great delight, I found that I fit into the normal roller coaster seats again! Whooo!

Great job dragonfly! I do that too at the market, seeing things in numbers more than "Oooo that looks good." And great job Haley getting your kids in on it. They may not quite understand now.. but they'll always remember your journey. Hopefully it will inspire them to live healthy lives. My lifestyle was influenced by the…

Yeay! :love: I love english muffins! Warm and toasty with some good jam and maybe some peanut butter... mmmmmmmmmmmmm

This isn't a bad idea. the thing is we don't have scent glands up there! So the sweat that comes out of our pores up there is just water, it's not the smelly stuff under our arms or worse... BOOB SWEAT.

Then I'll just be obese :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: This week should be…

Craigslist them. Sell them and buy a new one!

I use my doctor's scale as well. It's digital, and my mother works there and they just got it calibrated in December. I've been using it only, because I know scales do differ. I weighed the pair of pants I wear each week as well, so I know about how much to subtract from my weight for clothing. (about 2 pounds... I have…

Lame? I've been over 200 pounds for the last 7 years of my life, and I carry a LOT of it in my stomach. My stomach skin is very damaged by stretch marks and I have 143 pounds to lose. I'm losing the weight slowly, keeping hydrated and incorporating toning into my workouts as I can do them. But if I get down to 160 and have…

I once had a moment of epiphany and compared diet pills to the doughnut tires we all have as a spare. They're meant to get us from a to b, where B is where you FIX THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. Keep driving around on a doughnut and eventually you'll end up right where you were before. With a huge flat (spare) tire. If diet pills…

lol. I know. I figured I'd send it out into the great void that is the internet.

I go to school at the University of Central Florida (now the 3rd largest in the nation whoot). I commute to school so I don't have the whole dorm problem, but I have a set of problems from living at home too. Like my obese mother and grandmother who haven't yet hit the "Time to get healthy" mark yet. Sometimes it…

Well I am "officially" off my meds. I'm terrible at taking pills so I haven't really been taking them. When I told my doc that she took me off them because my numbers are going down dramatically without the meds! I started at about 44, when it should be 19 to be "normal." Now I'm down to 24. Not "normal" yet but she said…

Hey all! I am a student as well, do you think I can join even though you are in week six? I started on MFP in June at 303 I'm down to 273 I weigh in on fridays already. I'm on campus 5 days a week and often have to eat lunch out due to my schedule (and the fact that there IS NO MICROWAVE ON CAMPUS! (for student use…

Sorry I've been away for so long! Classes got crazy and I just got caught up in homework, work, and exhausted sleep. I've been keeping up with my progress though! I've lost 30 Pounds since June 12th. I weigh in on Fridays but I'll keep updating here on mondays. Also, I will most definitely be participating in the walk…

This sounds like one of those internet virals. Like the one about how coke will apparently eat through your stomach it's so acidic. :noway: Be careful what you read and believe, do your research and make sure that the articles you are using come from .org or .edu Pretend it's a research paper. NO wikipedia or .com Don't…

3 Month follow up with the Doc today. Wish me luck! :ohwell:

I came home from working in my aunt's pizza shop to change my shirt because I got some grease on it serving her greasy (but deliciously evil) pizza. I looked in the mirror and realized I was SWIMMING in the shirt. I bought it at my biggest size to fit "right" and it now is way too big on me. I kept having to pull it up so…

Monday Check in! Starting Weight: 303 Last Week's Weight: 276 Current Weight: 273

I would like to lose another 20 pounds by Christmas. I've lost 30 so far so I'd like to make it 50 by Christmas! I'm definitely in. I weigh in on Fridays because I'm in another group but I'll update here on Mondays.

Luckily for me it seems to only extreme stress which sets it off. I live a stressful life with 5 college courses and a part time job. But I think I let it build instead of dealing with it and then something relatively small sets me off... I used to cut which I stopped, but I found myself eating when before I would cut.…

30 lbs(33 pounds is 10% of body weight) - By October 16th - Reward: Going to Seaworld with friends to ride Manta MET.:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: 10/09/09

You see that ticker down there? You see it? That's right. It reads "30 pounds lost" Oh yeah. Last Week: 276 This Week: 273 For a total of 3 pounds this week and 30 pounds over all. Whoot. Whoot. That means that sea world trip I planned for next weekend is not only most definitely ON, but it is most definitely WARRANTED.…

American Eagles, I believe. Less chemicals which are added to make them burn faster or something... lol Fries are bad mmmkay? But hey, if you're going to indulge (which you should allow yourself to do OCCASIONALLY.) its good to know just which fries are the lesser evil.

:laugh: :laugh: Just a cute story to tell. I watch a 4 year old boy every weekday for 2-3 hours. We were talking about nick names and he mentioned that a teacher at his VPK is also named Amanda. "Except she's not as round as you." I burst out laughing! It was adorable the way he said it and for once I didn't feel…

Lots of it actually. ^_^ For fun. So do false killer whales. I'll aim for that one. Smooth and sleek and able to jump to great heights. :laugh:
