No, unless I am moving around furniture or doing yard work. I plan on moving all the furniture and cleaning carpets this week end. I will count this but not count any of the usual housework.

I am only 5" SW 200 CW 150 GW 125 You can do it. You can friend me.

You look absolutely amazing. It gives me hope that I can lose the last 25lbs that I need to.

I find that logging my food is the only way to keep myself accountable. It would be way to easy to eat more if I didn't log it. It is also easier to log it into MFP than to write it down which is what the dietican told me to do. I don't want to go back to my starting weight. So I will continue logging as long as I need to.

I was always the overweight girl in school. I remember in high school that if i could just make it through it day without anybody seeing me I would be fine. That if I crawled back into my shell nobody could see me. I grew up in a poor family and you ate everything that was put on your plate, so I never really learned about…

I am sorry, I just can't friend anybody that doesn't share my love for Peanut M&M's. They are much better than the plain old chocolate ones. I don't think I like you....now I want M&M's. See what you did to me.

You are as close as I can find for a twin. I am 5' SW 200 CW 150 GW 125

When I was diagnosed diabetic and decided I didn't want to end up like my grandpa giving myself shots everyday. Or like my dad who had a stoke mostly caused by his diabeties. I decided I was going to take control of my life and diabeties wasn't going to control me.

I am in, my goal is 25lbs and I will be 125lbs.

Water aerobics this morning

Sign me up for a ruined body like that. I will never get rid of my pink 3lb weights. LOL

Just remember it didn't take you 2 weeks to gain the extra weight and I definately won't come off in 2 weeks. Just take it one day at a time. I lost 25lbs just changing my eating habits. When I started working out I lost another 25lbs. I love the firm workout videos. I also noticed that you don't have any friends on MFP.…

I usually get my jeans at Old Navy, but I love JC Penney's and Ross. Ross is pretty cheap and usually can find lots of cute clothes. I am now down to a Medium or Large shirt from a 2XL and have found some really cute, inexpensive shirts at Ross.

We went to Honolulu, Hawaii in 2009. We went in the spring and the beaches on the north shore weren't crowded at all. Spent lots of time at a little beach called the Hukilau beach. There is also plenty of other activities to do. My daughter and I went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay it was a blast. I would go back in a heartbeat.

You definitely need some more fresh fruit and veggies. Right now is the best time for fresh veggies. Find out if there is a farmer's market close to where you live. What about eggs? Maybe add some eggs into your diet.

You look absolutely fantastic. It gives me hope that I can lose more weight.

I agree, the scale is not your friend. It doesn't always tell what is going on with your body. The scale can tell me I have gained a few pounds but my clothes tell me otherwise.

I too work with people who are always bringing treats. I always have my healthy snacks at my desk. I also find that if I chew gum it helps me not put anything else in my mouth. I have all flavors of gum. Also yesterday I was craving peanut m&m's. Instead of giving in and buying some, I ate my grapes. It helped with the…

You've come to the right place. Don't look at the big picture as it will seem too overwhelming. Take it one day at a time, baby steps. Get lots of friends it helps to have the encouragment and motivation they give. Good luck you can do this. You took the first big step already.

Happy early birthday. I am 43 and you can add me if you want. Can you exercise in the morning? If I waited until after work I would never exercise. The only time I do evening exercise is when my daughter and I go to Zumba. I also take the stairs at work or take the long way back to my office to get out of my chair through…

Love, love, love this post. I hate when people tell me they are on a diet or what diet am I using to lose weight. No diet, just a lifestyle change. Too many people fail at diets, it is just a big way to set yourself up for failure. When you change your lifestyle you change if for "life". I love the new me, I still have a…

Hubba, Hubba. That is awesome.

Started MFP in February 2012 I have lost 23 lbs since starting. I have always drank a ton of water. Started eating healthy last July after being diagnosed diabetic. Started exercising in February, was once a hater of exercise, now I look forward to exercising. I have lost a total of 50lbs since last July. Use to wear a…

How to lose Bacon in 10 days. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Bacon.

Me and exercise you to have a love/hate relationship. I loved to hate it. After being asked everytime I went to the doctor if I had started exercising, and getting the lecture that I needed to, I finally started. You really have to find something you enjoy. I can't afford a gym membership. So I do water aerobics, walk or…

5:00am Monday-Friday. Usually take the weekend off. Saturdays I will do yard work or walk the dog.

Top Gun

You can do it. July 2011 diagnosed diabetic and have since lost 51lbs and am off my medication since April 2012. Good luck.

You are an inspiration to all. Great job taking control of your life.
