I had to have a total hysterectomy 3 years ago after problems delivering my fourth baby. I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. When I first came home I had lost all my pregnacy weight and loads more. But it ALL found me...and then some. The belly fat is horrible. I have been doing MFP for 55 days and while I have lost…

Hi! MFP has been my life saver. I joined in January and I really feel this is what I have been missing to help me in my journey to ridding myself of all my "extra me"! I am 100% honest here. I can tell my pal friends things I cant tell my huband,kids or best friends. If I cheat and dont log my calories one day I post the…

You can add me too! I love to cheer people on!

Hello! I'm Dawn. I'm 5' even. I have 4 kids to keep me busy....5 if you count the husband. I use our local Y and LOVE MFP!!!!

I use to think food was my best friend.....it was always there when I needed it. I was an ALL emotion eater. If I had good news first thing I would think of was food, bad day....yep you guessed it food. Lonely,bored. I ate for all of them. MFP is the best thing I have found and tried in aiding me with my weight loss.…

Week 2 is turning out not to be as bad as I thought. I'm having major trouble with the ab/table part but I'm doing my best. EEEKKK can only imagine what Jillian is going to do to us in week 3 :happy:

I am interested. I have started a few different times with different programs. The most I've gotten up to is running 1 1/2 miles very very slow. Wish me luck

I start week 2 tomorrow. I had mixed feelings about week one. I thought the first few days werent so bad, but the last 2 days have been killer. Heres hoping I make it through week 2 :happy:

I weigh in on Fridays as well: 3/2 3/9 3/16 3/23 3/30 Good luck ladies

I would love 15 but set my goal at 10-12. I still can only lose 2 lbs one week and normally 1 the next. I added some cardio hoping that will give me a little more loss each week.

I started ripped today as well and have a goal of 10-12 pounds for March. I also do zumba or the elliptical 6x a week. So i figured I'd do ripped and about 40 minutes zumba or elliptical to keep workouts at about an hour. My question is are any of you doing weights at the gym or home also, or just what you get in with…

Good luck everyone! I started ripped today. Hope that will help. Does anyone know, should you stop using weights at the gym for the 30 days your doing ripped?

I listen to music. If I hear some of my favorite songs I cant help but smile. So for me I turn on pandora or iTunes,put in the earbuds and hit the treadmill or track. And the louder the better.

Hi everyone. Dawn 37 currently in Tennessee. Originally from suburbs of Chicago. Mom of 4 between 3-18 and work part time. I'm 5' SW 199 CW 187 GW 130 Looking for friends to help keep me motivated this time! Feel free to add as a friend.

I cant get my sugars,protein and dietary fiber under control. I have been trying to eat what the "pyramid" says to regarding fruits,veggies and whole grains. But I found if I have 2 fruits a day I'm over. With today I had half a cup of strawberries and I was over in vitamin C. I also drink 2 cups of skim milk a day. I eat…

I'm 5' SW 199 CW 187 GW 130 So glad to see so many 5ish feet people!

I'm in....excited!

Welcome. Congrats on your weight loss. I have to have variety in my work outs. So I do zumba and use the ellpitcal at the gym. I also use the weights there. I break up my workouts as biceps,tricpes,back,chest and shoulders. I do a different one every day for about 15 min. I havent bulked up at all. I walk and use the wii…

I have been with MFP since January and enjoy the groups. I joined this one today :) Always looking for friends and motivation.

I have 4 kids and work part time 3rd shift so I work out around 2:00. Works out well for me because I start picking kids up from school at 3:15. I use to start dragging around 4;00 but this seems to give me the boost I need. I also have some dvd's and zumba for the wii for the days I dont make it to the gym.

Great job!

Probably to late for this time but maybe next time bring your own popcorn. The 94% ones are around 25 calories a cup. But for tonight maybe twizzlera. Low calories just may have more sugars. Hope you enjoy movie night.

The problem is sugar specifically. I was trying to follow the "pyramid" with eating of fruits and veggies and such. I drink the milk because I LOVE IT! I could probably drink a gallon in 2 days alone. I drink skim and have only 2 cups a day, guess I may have to go down to 1. Thanks for the suggestions, will have to keep…

Good job ladies :)

Thanks ladies :)

Glad things turned around for you :) and way to get right back on track

I wondered when you do zumba and log it onto your diary do you put it under dance general or aerobic? I just added it under aerobic and oh my it added a crap load of more calories to eat. I think I will need to plan my meals and workouts at least a day in advance.

Well I am no expert but I would think its because youre not getting your calories in. I also am following a 1,200 calorie/day and I know when I enter my workout in it adds more to my calories. Your doing a great job! Try not to get discouraged. Are you getting some healthy snacks in during your day? I have popcorn, really…

For as long as I can remember food has been my best friend. During my parents divorce it was always there, when I had a fight with a friend and during broken hearts....who was there,yep food! And not apples or carrots. None of that healthy stuff. I would drown myself in a bag of something. So for my kids I want them to…

@MountainMia~ Way to find a positive. Thats always been a diffucult thing for me.
