Sorry guys I've been so busy with the kids and hitting the gym I haven't had a lot of time to hang on the boards. Doing well - good in eating and losing but bad in getting my veggies in - I'll have to try harder.

Great post. Kids act different as well - it's not just adults. I have 3 thin and 1 thick child. The older ones are already trying to watch the intake of my youngest who LOVES food and is a bit heavy but not overweight. We as parents are watching her now and starting to work on her choices but I never want her to feel bad…

Gotta do what you gotta do... I have twins - trying to lose the weight I gained from that pregnancy in 2001!! Now's the time. I now have 4 kids but only 1 set of twins.

I hear ya sister. right there with you at times.

Good Wednesday morning everyone. I was so hungry yesterday that this morning I went to the cafe and got an egg-white omlet with veggies, no cheese and 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. More calories then I'm used to using first thing in the day but if felt good to feel "full" even if it was for only about an hour. Last week I…

ENTJ - Regulatory Affairs, Pharmaceuticals.

Being Catholic ... lol

Just now - WWTLTY - went to an amusement park?

Great job - stick with it.

I entered my weight, but want to verify - what are the OWLS again?

Short term goal is to be down to 145 by March 17th. 152 now - I can make it..

Great job - keep it up

Kids need consistent examples - no kid wants to be the "weird" kid with the chicken breast and apple in his lunch. I pack my kids lunches (I have 4 kids so it's part I want control and part $) and tend to give them one "junk" thing to pull out. The rest is good for you stuff. But some things they won't even take out of…

Home with my sick 4 year old today and didn't get to workout :( Add to that it was a eat your own arm kind of day. Weird how one day 1200 calories is fine and the next 1400 is WAY too little. I keep it to 1200 when I don't workout and 1400 when I do and don't eat back my exercise calories. I hope this continues to work.…

I'm in - 1 pound a week.

If there's one thing I learned through my years and struggles is that you really do know yourself the best. Do I think you'll be just as happy - yes I do. Do I think you'll be successful - yes also. There's a power to positive thinkig that you just can't bottle or beat. Keep going.... you're doing FANTASTIC!!

You are an inspiration! And yes - I think it was a smile :)

Please - I'm a lesbian with 4 kids who are ours - I don't wear flannel - I love make up, Disney and purses. I really really like purses. ohhh and shoes especially boots. uggs... oh I could go on and on.

Ok - for the first week - Stay under calories each day (and don't eat exercise calories) - Abs at least 5 times this week (ugh) - Drink my water (at least 8 cups a day)

4-5 at the gym and weekend walks.

Don't like Conda and the Aqua guy is seriously getting on my nerves. And really 1 pound lost??? come on people - they can't be serious, they have to be playing with the numbers. I think I mostly watch to see how the person that got sent home is doing.

Just checking in today - I am sooo hungry today. I finally started lifting weights and I have to say I think it's changing my hunger levels. When I was just doing cardion I was okay with my 1400. Now lifting I'm like HUNGRY. I'm sure I'll get used to it - probably only take a week or so to adjust. My body is starting to…

For cardio I did 40 minutes for 5 days = 200 minutes. I'm not sure how much time weight training as I just started and I think there's more time looking at the weights then lifting them ;)

Hi Rose and welcome. Ok - got to the gym this morning at work and then drove home to work from home :laugh: . Partners car is in the shop so I have to be home to drive her and the kids around. But I didn't want to miss my gym time. 40 minutes cardio but I skipped weights just for today. Shooting to lose 5 in February.

I would love to lose 5 in Feb SW: 166 CW: 154.5

CW: 154.5 Feb Goal: 149 This would make me 10 pounds from my goal. I had lost almost 10 before I started MFP - so this would make me 1/2 way to my goal.

Logged in on the spreadsheet this morning at 154.5. My goal for February is 149 and exercise 150 minutes for the week (30 minutes X 5 days). I'm working towards my March 17-24 vacation to Florida being at 145. Whatseatingyo - down 10 - that's great!! Lottee1000 - Great job on hitting your Jan goal.

potatoe chips and brownies (not at the same time :wink: )

I would be sooo happy if I get to 148 by the end of Feb Name/ real name: tboothgenthe/Terri CW: 154 Goal weight on February 29th: 149 2/01: 2/06: 2/13: 2/20: 2/27: 2/29:

Tell me about it - I'd love to make it through a night without having to get up! And yes - you need 8 glasses :) Helps with the hunger as well as keeping your body running well.
