Feel free to add me and if you are on Facebook, I have a private group on there called Chubby Buddies. You can request to join on there to and I will add you. I know what you mean about support. I totally need it too. Happy New Year Jennifer

Sorry. I work on the weekends so I am always MIA til sometime Monday Night. It's crazy. But I am good. Trying to stay on track. How are you doing?

welcome to the group. we are very happy to have you. I think so many of us can relate. I am a emotional eater too. Except I either eat too much or I won't eat at all. there is no pattern on me. I have a daughter with Down Syndrome so she really adds to my emotional roller coaster. We are here for support trust me on that.…

Well I don't know how I did it, but Saturday I very badly bruised my foot. On the outside of it at the arch. I am in so much pain. I can't do anything. The dr said to stay off it and relax! Does he know me! I don't relax.......ugh. This is going to be such a hard week. I hope to get back to the gym and walking soon. I…

I am with you smangani- I hated the elliptical when I first started it. I could only last 3 mins on the thing. Now I love it!!! I can go for 40 mins at 8-10 resistance and burn 400 calories easy. I love it!!! did I mention I love it. I am not a huge weights girl but I am trying to work into it. :-)

I lost both of my parents to cancer. My mom was 48 when she died and I was a teenager when I lost her. I don't want my kids to have that feeling. So I got on MFP and started holding myself accountable. My biggest was last summer when I weighed 230 pounds. I started walking 3 miles a day and watching what I ate and saw 25…

welcome to MFP. Playing with your kids and running around is a huge thing. But take a walk with them and try to do 10,000 steps a day. Get a pedometer they are really cheap at Walmart. Also if you have cable, check on Demand, they have some exercise programs on them. Good Luck on your journey and feel free to add me for…

www.skinnytaste.com try that website. It is a ton of great meals. Also if you need some support, a great group on FB is called Chubby Buddies. it's private and can only be accessed by members. I have gotten a ton of support and food ideas from there too. I like that website too because it has the WW points on all the…

I am having a wicked day with this too. I am drinking a ton of water. Thanks for the lemon tip. I will try it too.

that was me today too. I am so stressed out about my 5 yr old daughter having surgery next Wednesday that I have done nothing but eat the past 3 days. Today was the worst. I ate over my calories and did nothing for exercise. (I did a tour of a fitness center but didn't stay to work out) Just gotta get back on track. I have…

OK I read this and went and did it because I gained 2 lbs since Monday. It works!! I went home and walked 3.39 miles in under a hour and I feel so motivated now. THANK YOU!! I also stole it and put it on chubby buddies. THANK YOU for motivating me to do better. :-)

this is very true. I have also learned that not everyone will ask for help but when you offer they are willing to take it. :-) Good Luck on your journey. Your children are adorable.

Welcome. I would love to support you too. I have been heavy since I got out of high school and I am struggling to get back in shape. I also have a FB page called Chubby Buddies that is a great group for support. They have really helped me. It's a secured page so you can only see stuff if you are a member. Good Luck on your…

Welcome back! I am starting again as well. I started yesterday doing the 6 week body makeover. I also do a lot of walking. This place is a great support system and has plenty of stuff help you stay on track. Good luck on your journey.

That is the problem. I don 't have a HRM and I can't afford one right now. I guess I will leave it alone since I walk 3 miles a day on rough terrain at 3.0 MPH and I burn over 500 calories. Guess it can't hurt. Thank you everyone for your help.

Everyone tells me to get a Heart Rate Monitor. There are ones out there that calculate your calories, miles, etc. Check out the forum on HRM. It was very helpful. :glasses:

I understand your frustration. I felt the same way this week when I didn't lose any weight. I did start taking my measurements about two weeks ago. I was told to measure every two weeks so I did it this week and found I lost 5 inches total in my body. That was a huge lift for me. So my advice is take your measurements…

I was definately not a morning person and the only reason I was awake so early is to get the kids off to school. But now since I have started exercising and my weight loss, I have found that walking in the morning gives me so much energy to get through the day. My daughter is only in preK so I have to walk when she is in…

Looking good. You can really see a difference. Congrats!!

I am not sure what to give up!!! I love my chocolate but I have a bad habit of eating it late a night. I also like my occasional glass of wine on the weekend. Hmmmm....I think I will do the late night snacking and no chocolate. Man this is going to be hard. Good Luck!!

OK Thanks Everyone. Guess I have to look into a HRM. I have a pedometer but it never works. Today I walked 2 miles and it said I walked over 6000 steps!!! I walked 4 the other day and it said i walked 209! LOL Anyone recommend a good one? Thanks again.

Thanks Tammi that was great!! Good luck on your journey.

I can totally feel your pain. I have been doing this for a month now and although I am down 15 lbs I still see the same fat girl in the mirror and was getting discouraged. But I keep plugging at it and trying to stay positive. I have found I have so much more energy and feel better and I am happier to be around. That is…

Hi Tony! Welcome to the site. It is a great support group and loaded with information as well. Just take it one day at a time and it will go easier. I had to learn to do that myself. Good luck on your journey!

If it's DVD's you are looking for I have Tony Little Target Training and Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. They are great ones. Good Luck on your weight loss!
