SO TRUE! I am a regular on FB, but i find myself checking this as frequently on my iPhone. "Facebook for Fat people" - LOVE IT!!! Most of us on here are definitely in the same 'boat'. :laugh: I don't have my status on here linked to FB or twitter. Most people would be like - who cares? My 6 yr old daughter comments when…

LIBERTY! You are RIGHT down the street from me - i'm in Forest Oaks. :smile:

Hi! i have been on Metformin for a few years now. My OB/GYN put me on it due to PCOS. I have been trying to get pregnant during that time. (NO luck!). I take 2 pills a day (500 mg) and for the most part, no problems. NO diabetes here. I was borderline gestational diabetic when i was pregnant, but that went away.

This is fun reading!! Here goes.... 1. I am left-handed, but can only use scissors with my right hand. 2. My grandfather died the same day/year as Jerry Garcia. It was a VERY sad day for me. 3. I am habitually LATE. It has caused quite a few problems in my life. 4. I live in the South (US) and I am currently trying to cut…

Hi everyone! I just found this group today. I love to meet others close by! I am 40 and live in Greensboro. Married with one beautiful 6 yr old. I was born in Greensboro - lived here till i went to college in Wilmington, NC (UNCW!!). Met my husband while living in Wilmington in 1997 and in a few years we lived in…

Hi Michelle! I am in Greensboro too!! Love finding locals on here. Sending a friend request. :)

Darn it! Why didn't my quote work? LOL!

Not sure of your location, but in the US there is a country song called 'Tequilla makes her clothes fall off". LOVE IT! I…

Great suggestions! I have a 6 yr old daughter and she and i have started coloring a lot together. It's fun and makes me feel like a kid again. She's a great little cheerleader too. My biggest supporter! :wink:

NO ONE has to age gracefullly - as long as we have the tools, i say we use them!! I prefer to call my increasing # of gray hairs 'platinum'. LOL! My stylist just covers them with highlights any way. I am noticing A LOT more now than i use to. I turn 40 2 weeks ago and this is what happens??? Bring on the color and undereye…

I wish my husband and I would have that kind of 'accident'. I just turned 40 and we've been trying to conceive for over a year now (we have a 6 yr old). I kinda feel like my weight is a factor in me not gettting pregnant. Good luck to you. Talk to your dr about how many calories you and your baby need to be healthy. You…

Hello ladies!! I am new to being 40 and new to MFP! So far so good! I, like many, have been overweight all my life. I can't remember the last time i weighed less than 200 lbs! So now, with a little pushing from my dr, it's time for me to get serious about losing weight and getting in shape, for life! My goal is to lose 70…

We need to start a group here on MFP! What do y'all think? And what could we call ourselves??

If any one can use a reallllly good laugh - go read the comment by ASTRAMP on this message board: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/464526-advice-or-experience-has-anyone-ever-used-alli I laughed so hard i had tears running down my face. Literally - LMFAO!

ASTRAMPE - I officially need to re-do my make up after reading your post. Tears streaming down my face from laughing soooo hard. Freakin hilarious. "No showboating." LOL!!!!! LMFAO!!!!! :laugh: Side note: My husband took Zenical several years ago - the prescription version before Alli became available OTC. He will agree…

Welcome to the 'club' Stacey and Erins!! I said yesterday it was nice to meet a group with similar proportions and goals. I honestly don't remember the last time i was less than 200 lbs. Had to be in high school (20+ yrs ago!). I think having a weight loss 'buddy' - whether it be online or in person - can really help keep…

I just learned about another APP for your mobile - FOODUCATE. There is a free version out there. The folks i chat with on weight watchers love it because it gives you choices, calories and points. I just loaded it on my phone. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet though. Every little bit helps!!! :glasses:

2012 is going to be OUR YEAR!!!!!! :bigsmile:

Hello to all my 'thick-souled sisters' (and brothers)! I think I have found my peeps!! :happy: I am also 5'8". I swear when i graduated high school (20+ yrs ago) that i was 5'6" & 3/4". When i turned 35 they started measuring my height to see if i was shrinking - who would have known i'd get taller?? LOL! OK so at my…

Hi! I am new also. Been on MFP for about 2 wks now. I love all the information!! Especially the IPhone App. Would love some friends with similar goals. :wink:

HI.. I am new to this also. Only about 2 weeks into it. All of your suggestions are so helpful. I do need to measure though. I hope by week 4 i will start seeing some major progress. I love the Mobile App on my IPhone. SO very helpful!!
