I agree! I didn't buy the 9s I tried on even though they fit well. I wasn't willing to show my backside when I bent to pick up my baby. Not all jeans are like that, but most in the Junior section are.

I'm 5'5" 148# ...I comfortably wear a size 8 or 9. I have curves, have a more athletic build.

Hi! I'll send a friend request then you can just check out my diary. I'm not saying it's perfect but I fit in a lot of food for the calories. Other friend's diaries have helped me come up with ideas.

From my husband, "I never noticed that bone before." It's nice to have my work being noticed but only men and older women seem to comment.

Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have bananas needing to be used (or frozen). After busy holidays, I wasn't in the mood to bake. Pancakes sound perfect.

Goal: 120 miles Sat: 2.2 miles (Elliptical) Sun: Mon: Tue: Wed: Thurs: Fri: Total for week: 2.2 Left to go: 117.8 I'll probably just check in 1X a week but thought I better get started now while I see the post! I'd hate to lose it; looking forward to this challenge!

Welcome! I last gave birth almost 11 years ago and I'm finally working on getting healthy. Great job getting started now! I have 4 children (14yrs, 12yrs, 10yrs, and 9 months).

Welcome! My 9 month old loves to dance. I'll carry him and dance to music. Sometimes I crawl after him, stop to lift him over my head (he's 25#...a good work out) just chasing a little one is exhausting. You could try getting in some sit ups and push ups while your playing on the floor. Little movements add up. You could…

A marathon...Wow! I'm planning on a 10K in May. My husband and I trained for a Thanksgiving 5K using the Couch to 5K program. I've heard coolrunning.com has a marathon training program that is excellent. Good luck and nice ambition!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I'm ready to get my eating and exercise back to normal. Also, I'd love to get my house back to normal...boxes and paper and gifts all over...I'm trying to ignore it for at least today. start weight: 150 12/17 - 149 (-1) 12/24 - 148 (-1) 12/31 - 1/7- 1/14 - 1/21 - 1/28 - 2/4- 2/11…

I'm up for the challenge and looking forward to it! Most of my miles will be on the elliptical but I'll work to get in a variety of exercises to cross those miles!:happy: :happy:

I don't know about favorites but some I've enjoyed this Christmas season are: Elf Fred Claus Jingle All The Way Christmas With The Kranks Four Christmases A great winter movie is Snowball Express.

I weighed Friday but never checked in. Days seem to be flying by...some of you have already checked in 2X, I figured I better get on the ball. Great job to all of you! Even if everyone's weight loss isn't what you'd have hoped for you are sticking with it and checking in. Thanks for the motivation! start weight: 150 12/17…

Thanks for sharing! It would be interesting to chat with a Biggest Loser and check out their workouts. I hope Ada makes it too!

I'd love to join! The Thanksgiving Challenge was great. My weigh in day is Friday so I've changed the dates. My name is Christy. I am 34, a stay at home mom and home school mom, wife of a small business owner. My husband and I have been married for 15 years 4 months =-), we met less than 11 months before we were married.…

I've been eating much healthier and exercising more since MFP. I thought I was eating healthy before but my portions were crazy! Maybe if you explain to your friends that the more you exercise the more calories you get for the day, under 1200 calories is not recommended, they'd feel better about it. Sorry you're facing…

I don't know what researchers have found. I don't know what's best for everybody or if there is one way of eating that is best for everyone. I've found that eating 200-300 calories every 2-3 hours works for me. I don't "pig out" or feel overly hungry. Just like exercise, find a healthy way to eat and live that you can…

I'm in too! After 2 weeks on the road, I'm ready to get my exercise back on track!

I love this...so sweet. Sappy to some but wonderful to me!

Feel better...bummer that you're in the hospital. Chris...first 5 letters of my first name Sun...first 3 letters of my last name

My sister is preparing our Thanksgiving meal. I'm going to eat a lot of veggies, small portions of everything else and enjoy a small piece of cheesecake! start weight: 171.5 8/18 - 170 8/25 - 169 9/1 - 168 9/8 - 166 9/15 - 165 9/22 - 164 9/29 - 163 10/6 - 163 10/13 - 161 10/20 - 159 10/27 - 158 11/3 - 155 My Original…

I've had it set at 4X a week / 60 min a day (4 hrs a week) since I started in July. I actually work out 9+ hours a week (I love working out...). So far it has worked great for me. I'd say just don't set it for more than you are going to work out. Great job on your workouts!

Thanks for the answers and comments. For me I think it's a lack of self-confidence. The better I feel about myself, the more I encourage others. Weight shouldn't matter so much but I think a lot of it was knowing that I wasn't as strong or healthy as I could be. I really appreciate all the encouragement I receive here and…

Thanks~ When I'm with him it doesn't matter what I look like, you can't help but look at him. He's the secret to a good pic. One of my goals is to post a pic of just myself. I know I tend to hide behind my kids...that's not fair for them. Impressive brothers...You should be proud!

Hi! I just wanted to respond so you can see my cute self...no, I don't usually refer to myself as that.:happy: I love looking a peoples pics too but understand not everyone's comfortable with that, or maybe they don't have a teenager in the house (like I do) to help them figure out how. Maybe everyone's goal could be to…
