welcome.. i hope you like it here.. its lots of fun.. i hope we can be here to give you inspiration and motivation.

First of all, Im sorry to hear about you losing your son. Im sure there is nothing that any of us can do to ease your pain. With that, remember you are worth this. i dont know if you watch the biggest loser or not, but if so, do you remember Abby, who lost her entire family and had to start all over again. she looks…

First of all, how long ago was it since you had your baby? Second of all, YOU are worth this hard work. Although you might not see any changes in you now, it will happen. Sometimes you lose weight and gain muscle. Sometimes you lose inches and not even notice. You need to make sure you are mixing your workouts up a bit. So…

Thank you.. Im slowly winging myself off the medicine.. so that i dont have to worry about lbp.. ;( sick of feeling like crap. My back is tolerable.. so im going to make due..

You need something in your belly, before exercising. Other wise you will wear out fast. Need to keep your protein, so that it gives you energy, and helps burn fat.

Read, Write, Walk, Play video game.. Drink water if you feel hungry if it isnt time to eat yet. Keep almonds in the house if your not allergic to nuts, eat a handful and drink a glass of water to satisfy your hunger. Lean on your mfp family.. you can do this hun.. :)

Trying to get up an moving a little extra today. My back is beginning to feel better.. But I think the medicine is messing with my blood pressure, like it did at the hospital. ;( If i eat something with sodium im find. Blah.. im going to hate it if I have Low blood pressure for my entire life. I feel like poop. Went to the…

Thanks Ladies.. I have every intention in working on myself. ive slacked, due to craziness, andd my husband doesnt really help matters in his food choices. But I also know, even with bad food chioces, you can still beat it. i know its portion control.. Thats most of the battle, And i need to remember that. I need to make…

I went to the doctor about my back today.. and they said its because of being "overweight" and wear and tear on my back. Once I get my back in order, Im going to be true to myself with losing weight. Ive gotten lazy about it. :( Not cool. I have soo many resources thers no reason not to workout..

Sounds like you ladies are doing great.. im at a stand still right now.. my knee is killing me from when it popped out on me on Friday.. Then yesterday morning, I was getting up from my chair, and my back popped.. I nursed it and went to work for half my shift last night. Came home, and made dinner, laid down and an hour…
