THIS!! I SO needed this today after the last few weeks I've had! Every time I run in to "life's difficulties" I just hurt me in the end! Thank you!

Yep, y'all got my vote! Pizza is the one food that I truly drool over, can't get enough and have foodgasms! (looking for pizza delivery guys number) :love: :flowerforyou: :heart: :blushing:

I read somewhere long ago that when you lose weight, you lose it from top down but when you gain weight, you gain it from bottom up. After numerous ups and downs with my weight, I guess that explains why my bum is bigger and my boobs drag! LOL

Thank you for this post! I came in here this evening with the intent of deleting my account. Then I seen this topic on the forums on my side bar.. I clicked it and read the responses... This last week was horrible at work with treats and stress (but when is there never stress at work??). There was donuts three days out of…

I work for Podiatrists and I feel the same way! I am amazed at the diabetics that come in and are overweight. A little dietary change can go a LONG way on their disease management but they all insist on a "pill" to make them better! Diabetes CAN be reversed with dietary changes! You just have to make the effort and most…

See a Physio or a Podiatrist as Podiatrists specialize in feet and ankles. I work for four and they see many runners with ankle pain.

I don't have many friends and I "like" lots of things they post. I rarely comment on things though. I personally don't have time but I tell them that up front when the FR came in or was sent.

Google "tricep toning exercises". There are a lot you can do at home and without weights. Use water bottles instead or even laundry soap bottle. Just find something heavy and lift according to what areas you want to trim/firm up.

I work in a doctors office so my day is eight hours a day of just sitting.. maybe a few trips to fax/copy machine but not enough to justify exercise. I make "room" for beer by walking and stationary bike riding, either before or after work... Occasionally, while at work, as I sometimes walk on my lunch break.

That's what I do.. I drink every night but I allow for it in my calories, just like I would if I had a steak with baked potato and sour cream. It may not be "food" but it is calories so it has to be counted.

When I first looked in to FitBit, that is the first thing I thought.. a gadget for my inner nerd! :laugh: I just can't justify the expense right now so free iPhone app it is. :laugh:

For a long time, I had a closed diary and logged the beer. Then I posted this and opened my diary. It is what it is! This is me and I will find a way to make weight loss and beer work together.. it just means I have to move more to allow for beer, which isn't a bad thing. I'm glad that this post has had such positive…

Why does my Zebra have no stripes:?

We drink watered down beer here aka Busch light.. 95 calories for 12 ounces :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yep, that is what I have decided to do!

You and I could have been siblings separated at birth!

WOW! I'll be honest.. I didn't expect so many supportive responses!! I truly expected a huge bashing from people. MFP'ers really surprise me. I would love to comment on everyone who posted but if I did that I wouldn't have time to ride my bike to make room for beer. LOL After reading all the posts, I have to say it is part…

I'm a food newbie.. what is Couscous?

I forget about the groups too! I wish we could get notifications like Facebook. My number is 38.

Originally from Hillsdale, now in Burton.

My two cents: Elliptical uses different muscles (or uses the same muscles but in a different way) than bicycle riding so they basically aren't comparable. Also, like someone else said, you have outdoor terrain. Any exercise done on a machine is way different than doing the same exercise outside.

I'd like the winning lottery numbers please! ;)

Thank you everyone for your positive replies! You are all correct! I can't let one day DEFINE ME! It was DAILY bad choices that led me to MFP, not just one. I need to let that one go and move on! Much love to you all for taking the time to respond!

Thank you! I was talking with a friend who is doing WW and she has 26 points a day but fruit and veggies when raw, canned in water or natural juice have no points. Was wondering how this would apply to MFP. I totally understand now. Two different systems and with MFP, all calories are to be counted.

Malt vinegar plain or with a dash of oil. Mostly plain though.

bump as I'm considering getting a bitflex too

Hi! I'm Marcia, most ppl call me Mar which I prefer over Marsh, from Burton MI. I have been a member of MFP for a quite some time but only started USING it as of last Friday. I'm an empty nester. I have two adult children, 25d, 21s and a 15 month grandson, who stole my heart the moment I saw him! I'm married to a…

Just started back at MFP and turned 46 last Tuesday.
