Would love to have some positive & supportive friends! I've used MFP before to lose weight, but gained 70lbs during nursing school. So far I've lost 23lbs, but have more to go. Would love to have some mutual support!

Hey all! Not new here, but been busy with college & nursing school. Finally graduated both, but having been gone for a few years, I've lost most of my buddies! :( I gained weight during school so I'm back at it since I'd had success with MFP before. I'd love to be a source of motivation & encouragement for anyone needing…

5'2 here....4.0mph is power walking for me

Been a hellish month for me....then realized I forgot to update my weigh-in on Sat. Ugh....hubbs was sent outta town for a month, so going it alone with 3 kids while in school myself was rough! He's home now....so whew!!! Weigh-in update..... Bleh. Same # yet again. Will update again next Sat. Soooo stinkin proud of how…

Well....weigh-in today....no change, but I'll keep bringing it! :) Can't believe we're finally into Phase 3. 1 week down....

Weigh-in today....results.... No change. I will keep pushing :)

Here's another complaint.... There needs to be an *applause* button!! :tongue: Great post!!!

AMEN!! I've known friends who have actually QUIT MFP because of the negative/rude people who seem to spend their days roaming the forum. These freinds got to the point where they quit even TRYING to post anything, then quit replying, then quit MFP all together. I completely agree with the OP!!!!

When I need to fill up on some cals, I turn to avacado, raw nuts, or whole wheat toast (or muffin) w/ natural peanut butter.... Good luck! :)

I am well into Phase 3....that blasted Dreya Roll is a killer....I'm with some other posts I've noticed, the tummy gets in the way!! My 1st time, I thought, oh hell nah....I'll never be able to do this!! But it did get easier....and I can DO the roll, but the tummy makes me look rediculous when I go down & back up. It will…

Unbiased?? lol....good luck!!

That was pure motivation! I've always said...what I've done to myself (as has many others) was by choice....we aren't victims. Thank you for putting this out there for everyone to see!

Well........no change in the scale this week. But I ate kinda late last night & ate before I weighed in as I forgot today was my weigh-in! lol Hopefully I'll see something happen for me next week. Good luck with your weigh-in's everyone!! :)

I recently recovered from the same issue, it lasted for about 3 months....and my main exercise was running on the treadmill. Hubby suggested I buy new shoes, I did, noticed a slight change, and after about 3 weeks, the splints were gone. I've also heard of stretching exercises that will help with them. Like rotating your…

I am so sorry to hear that Sarina....but glad you've found a job you enjoy....I know how hard that is!! Good luck carrying on with P90X! :) Is there any ideas out here for a plan to move forward? We are close to starting Phase 3 once this Rest week is over. Are we starting a new thread? We've got some things to figure…

LOL......WHAT?!?! I am just stunned at some of these responses.....wow. Anyways...to the OP....I was taking the exact same amount of Phentermine several years ago. As were about 12 of my good friends at the time. None of us had all of these 'horrible' side affects some people are talking about, but I have heard others…

Bump....thanks for sharing!

Wow! Already some very impressive losses....WTG everyone! Just thought I'd mention my weigh-in days are Satruday........and I will post the weight even if there's no change, just to help stay on track! Thanks for organizing all of this again!

Thanks for sharing............3 MONTH plateau here!! I've tried absolutely everything anyone has EVER mentioned on this site. Giving this a try too!!

I found it! Yay! My ending weight for the V-day challenge was 166.4, so that's my starting weight for this challenge..... SW - 166.4 GW - 159 Hard to determine a goal weight for this one since I've been struggling with at 3 month plateau. Only at my last couple of weigh-in's had the scale moved! Hopefully that indicates a…

Bump! Sounds DE-lish! Thanks!

Saturday's weigh-in....166.4....1lb down!! :bigsmile:

THIS just irritates me to NO end! Bullies, young or old, need to be put in their place...I would have LOVED to have done it FOR you!! Understanding that you're a non-confrontational type of person, I would have told him, show me the sign and I will be happy to end my call. I have never been to a gym where it's said no cell…

Lol we cracked our own too, no one liked it....tasted like soap to us :p I did just buy coconut milk....find it very tasty.

Lol....bad red sweater lady.... Rough trip...hope you get to feeling better soon!! I forgot to mention my weigh-in results.................... Nada. Same. No change. Again. It's unreal to me the butt kicking I do to myself during my workouts, the great changes in the foods I eat, cutting out wine, and all the water I…

Week 6 officially completed! -Kenpo X- (took my rest day yesterday as I was laid up in bed ALL day!) On to week 7....yay!! :) epeebes....sorry to hear you left the program, but I completely understand. It's all about finding what works for YOU and what will motivate YOU to keep pushing. I think it's great you've found that…

I have the same HRM....I noticed the same thing, but I also noticed WHEN it's happening. Usually at times the chest strap changes position (like when I'm doing downward dog during Yoga). It was also happening quite often when I'd run on my treadmill. What I did was tighten the chest strap and it hasn't happened at all…

Bump...thanks for sharing!
