Congrats! And I had to lol, my husband would do the SAME thing ;)

As I am gluten free,.saying no has gotten... Easier, lol. But people don't always want to hear it! Just.be polite, and decline. Say you're full if need be. A lot of people get offended when you won't eat. I don't get that. My husband's grandfather is that way. Like what I eat at his house is directly related to how much I…

I've been on 1200/day since I started, and I let MFP choose for me. But, I'm so freaking hungry!! And I selected to lose 1lb per, as recommended. But, I try to work out 6 days a week, and I'm set to Sedentary. So, after reading this entire thread, I changed my selection to lose .5lb/week. Now it tells me I can have 1310…

When I realized I'd put 6 lbs on since our move Jan 1st. Six lbs is a lot in less than a month!! But my weight has been up and down for years. I was heavy when I got married (to me, at least), still heavy when I got pregnant the first time, and I was huge by the time I gave birth! My son was born with a host of food…

1/2 cup of greek yogurt with fruit (blueberries, strawberries or bananas - or just honey), and a slice of toast with a little bit of Smart Balance Light (gluten free toast, but still :laugh: ) I could eat this everyday (and usually do, lol). It keeps me fuller longer.

I really want to do this!! I've just started running, and I'm new to MN (moved here the 1st of Jan). So, obviously I haven't met many people yet. I like that its a 'go at your own pace' thing.

My 4 1/2 year old playing the Wii Active game I bought for ME. ;) It's really freaking cute though, and at least he's off the couch?? lmao. I'm surprised it let me create a profile for him. It went down to 5 years old.

My wedding ring has needed resizing for years now! lol! Even though I am currently trying to lose weight, its gone up and down a lot in the last 10 years. Not to mention, I'm nearly 10lbs down from where I was when I got married. Also in the always cold camp!! But I've been that way since I had my second child, lol.

Love the Udi's crust! Where did you get the naan bread? Or did you make it? I usually use a corn tortilla. (I think I eat too many corn tortillas, lol!)

I usually have a salad, sometimes with grilled chicken on it, sometimes with tuna. Sometimes just some cheese. For instance, today I had 3 cups of romaine lettuce, with some grilled rosemary chicken (approx 4 oz), 4 T of salsa (I need the flavor), 4 t of a parmesean romano grated cheese mix, 1/3 cup of green sweet peas…

See, I would log it just for that too. I logged my walk to the park with the kids, because half the time I was jogging to keep up with their bikes!! At the mall today, I was booking it (my oldest is on the spectrum, there is no stopping and looking at things unless I mean business, lol). This is out of the ordinary, and a…

How old were you when you got engaged? 21 How long had you been together before getting engaged? 3+ years (less than 4, lol) How old were you when you got married? 22 Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Yeppers! It'll be 10 years married this year! Together for 14 come July!

I use Just Dance 2 for the Wii and I love it! It gets me up and moving, and its a lot of fun. I do it several times a week usually. I ordered EA Active for the Wii too, but I'm still waiting for it to come in (partially my fault, I forgot to change my address from my move on eBay!).

I do! I'm set at sedentary, and therefore I log everything I do when I get my bum off the couch, lol. I also eat back my calories. I must be doing something right, I've lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks :embarassed: Any cleaning I do gets logged. Taking my kids for a walk to the park? Yup, logged. Today we walked around the Mall of…

There are only a few restaurants I eat at. Chili's - They have an allergy menu, and neither my son nor I have gotten sick. Cracker Barrel, same deal. Wendy's and Burger King, not all... if having fries, be sure to ask if their fryer is dedicated to just fries. Mark Allen's - Peru, IL. Was a local restaurant for us, but we…

Just water, and the occasional green tea (with mint). Very, very, very rarely... some coffee. I had to cut that out because I'm super sensitive to caffeine and it was causing some wacky migraines.

For me? Yes. Sometimes I think we confuse hunger with thrist. For myself, my skin looks better when I drink plenty of water, I feel better in general when I drink plenty of water, and I can actually go number 2 when I drink plenty of water :embarassed: I get dehydrated easily. I get headaches when I don't drink enough…

Aw, I LOVE that most of these pets are rescues!! Our Miss Eva is a rescue too. She is some sort of mix... just can't decide what, lol. She's got attributes from Border Collie, German Shepherd and Black Lab. Heck, she's just a mutt ;), but we absolutely love her!

We discovered Almond milk because my youngest is severly allergic to dairy (in all forms). Needless to say, I love it! I was never a fan of milk before, but I really like Almond milk.

I had severe hip pain a few years ago (and from time to time now). I had a bad disc in my back (the very lowest one in my vertebrae?). I had p/t for a few months, and that helped. It bothers me now when I do too much - I ran two days in a row now. So, its hurting today. I might try the tennis ball trick, and my dog won't…

Hello all! I'm a shorty too, at 5' even (I USED to be 5'1.5" but I'm apparently shrinking :sad: ). With each kid, I've lost a little bit of height, I'd hate to think of how short I'd be if I had the 5 kids I origninally wanted, LOL! I'm currently at 136, started at 142. My little lightbulb went off when I realized that in…

The Wii is my primary go-to for exercise at the moment. It's hard to get out and walk/jog/run when you're deathly afraid of ice, night blind, and can't go during the day because you're home with the kiddo :). (For the record, if there's no ice, I will go for a jog at night, lol). I just have Just Dance 2 right now. I want…

Great job ladies!! I can't wait til I can participate :) I've had a c/s and a VBAC plus gallbladder surgery, and I'm so nervous about never losing that belly flap that hangs over my scar!

Amen! :D I check it nearly everyday for inspiration!

I would prefer to use Stevia in the Raw. Stevia is from a plant, and I'd have to argue that if its from nature... its probably better than something concocted in a lab. Not always true, of course, but Splenda is really not good for you (google it). But, if you're allergic to Ragweed, you may not tolerate Stevia as its in…

Great job! You look a lot like me ;). I've had 2 kids, 1 c-section 1 vbac, and gallbladder surgery. My 'battle scars' are there for a reason! :D

I was just getting on here to ask this! It seems like I'm always hitting my sugar intake from breakfast alone. I have Greek yogurt (plain) with a banana or strawberries in it. No cereal. Sometimes I have a piece of Udi's toast.

I can't do the gym right now either. I'm home all day with my 4 year old, and we just moved... simply no fundage for the gym (literally, the ONE - and its expensive). So, after dinner when my husband is home, I go for a walk or jog with the dog. That's totally free! I also do Just Dance on the Wii, and Netflix has some…

1. I'm married to my high school sweetheart - or, my college sweetheart? I was in college... he was in high school! :D 2. I broke my upper right arm when my youngest was 4 months old, and still managed to nurse him until he was over 2. I am super proud of that. 3. I'm gluten intolerant and allergic to kiwi. 4. I have a BA…

I'm 5' even, and currntly 139. I want to be at 125 by Summer, and hopefully down to the 110-115 range by the end of the year! That's really where I feel I look and FEEL the best. Before I got pregnant with my last son, I was at just over 105lbs. Of course, now we're in a city where most people will spend their day in their…
