People people people!! This is so true!!! As someone who has a lot of pets (1 rabbit, 12 turtles, 2 guinea pigs, over 100 fish, 1 snake, 1 tarantula and a dog) i would not give any of them up for the world!! I spend thousands of dollars each year on the best food, the best vet care and pet hotels and it is worth every…

Wow that is incredible! 22 lbs is an amazing accomplishment!!! Congrats!!

Thank you everyone for the tips. Some of you have suggested flavoring the water but to be honest i like the taste of water. I can't drink 8 cups of anything each day. I haven't had soda or anything carbonated in over 10 years, i only drink milk, juice and water. I don't drink alcohol at all. 8 cups of fluid is not agreeing…

I make fruit smoothies that are maybe 32 oz and count those as part of my water intake ( i only put fruits in the blender with nothing else) but i still cant seem to get the 8 cup volume of liquids each day down.

I am going to ask my doctor to find out what is up. I had talked to her already about me peeing a lot and she said the amount i go is normal and not to be concerned. But i havent talked to her about upping my water intake and how that makes me pee even more. It is frustrating but i will get to the bottom of it

How long is a while? I try so hard and even force it sometimes but i feel like i pee it out anyway. And on days i eat a lot of fruit it is even more difficult to meet 8 glasses. I don't drink anything else except the occasioanl glass of milk or zero calorie propels and vitamin waters

i use my ipad to log it and all i do is clickon progress on the side and there is a field that says update weight and boom it is done. on the website however you can click on "my home" on the left side click "weigh in" and then enter your weight. that should be it. if not i would ask the moderator

zumba is amazing! i have a really bad knee and i can do the entire hour! it works you out good. keep with it, the classes are so much fun but on days you can't go zumba for wii is probably just as good.

forget all those people running their tooshies off. you burn more calories faster on an incline. i am physically unable to run. i put the incline up pretty high and power walk and boy do i work up a sweat! and according to the machine i burn a lot of calories. i am also that person that looks at the machine of the person…

@newday332 if you know of anyone else on long island pass the news along! thanks for your interest. i think this would be a great opportunity for those of us that can't do full marathons. 3.1 miles is a lot easier than 27 ;-)

it will be held on May 20, 2012 in Babylon New York. It is a 5k run/walk and all are invited. i can continue to post more information as it gets posted on the website www.chipsarmy.com. i don't think they updated it yet. it is called Chip's Army 1st Annual 5k Walk/Run and you can also visit the group Chip's Army on…

just make sure with your diet that you are getting the appropriate amount of nutrients for your health issues. with thyroid issues it can be frustrating but ask your doctor what you should be getting each day iron, sodium and iodine wise (i think those are the nutrients most affected by thyroid issues). i have a bum leg…

i am going to try this one more time to see if anyone is interested. it quickly got pushed to the bottom of the page which is fine since there have been many interesting topics the last day or so. I hope everyone if doing well with their exercise! i have been way more active because of MFP and i am so appreciative of the…

you must be one amazing person lol if you can not meet your calorie goal. are you trying to lose or gain? what is your goal for the day? i tend to go over on sugar quickly because i eat a lot of fruits. avocados are high in calories and are unfortunately my favorite! you can cook with a low sodium butter or put some olive…

i have heard good things about polar FT 4 but it is rather expensive. i think i might wait until my birthday in march to get one. i googled it and found it on amazon for around $85 which for a poor college student is a lot to just spend on something. it gets amazing reviews online. i don't think that anything can…

I too would like to know how to track calories burned in dance etc. I heard good things about HRM but which one do you folks recommend?

I am at my heaviest ( well 2 pounds lighter now :) and i am toughing it out to be ready for pregnancy. My ideal weight is 101 to 140 lbs for my height (5'1") and i a pushing for a svelte 120! Right in the middle! I have a bum leg and i am permanently diabled (can't run, jump, or bend/straighten my right leg) so it is very…

@kdrew1 i started tjis topic thinking no one would be out there that feels the way i do and have the same goals. I am blown away that this topic took off. Everyone can add me and we can do this together. May the future generation be our motivation!

I am sorry for the losses so many have endured. I am so afraid and excited for conception at the same time. I want to be the healthiest possible to reduce all risks of pregnancy and child birth. Best of lcuk to all of you and may those little ones lost rest forever peacefully. We are strong and can do this, we do not have…

@curlyslim I dont think i can wait to conceive either! I have the baby itch so bad but i am motivated to lose as much as possible until May when we can start TTC. Good luck to you and everyone!

@1sassycox i stopped the pill in early january also, and i have been on it for almost as long as you. That is one big concern since i heard stopping can cause you to gain weight. I am exercising and eating within my parameters set on myfitnesspal but i am still worried that stopping the pill will hinder my goals.

This is awesome! I started this topic never thinking that there would be so many others in the same boat! I wish everyone the best of luck. Let us keep eachother motivated for the sake of our children! Should we start a group? This is too exciting! I don't have any girlfriends that are in the same shoes as me at this point…

Stressing out is what is worrying me. I stress eat and that has to stop. Let's be eachother's motivation. I get really bummed and i just want potato chips and french fries. Now i think about my future babies and i put the junk down. I am a vegetarian and so i eat a lot of fruits and veggies (hard to believe there is an…

I hear ya'! We have been married 1 year, together for 4. We always wanted children but both of us were in school. Now i am finishing up and i don't want to start a career and then have to take time off to raise my children. I want to stay home for the first years and then go into a career. My biological clock has been…

Thanks cherylpj! I graduate with my bachelors in may and want to have children so bad. I have the baby itch for sure! Looks like you are doing well towards your goal. I just started and look forward to baby making time. Nice to know others are out there that want to lose weight for babies too!
