I agree with this completely. When I made the decision to date again after my divorce, everyone told me to get out and meet people, make friends doing hobbies and things I liked. This is the best way to meet people with common interests.

I really don't think it has to do with my lunch. Most times it is leftovers from night before, and well balanced. I think I am going to try to start taking a break and going outside to walk around for a few minutes when I get these urges to snack continually in the afternoon. Its the motivation to do it and the time away…

I should be eating 1650 based on mfp, but I am eating between 1800 and 2000 per day. Sometimes with exercise, most times not. :-/

I am terrible at trying new and different things in the kitchen. I will just throw a few things together and see how it turns out. Awhile back I tried this: 1 pkg smoked sausage (halved and chunked) 4 peeled and chunked sweet potatoes onion chili seasoning whatever other seasonings you want to throw in cabbage I put the…

Age: 31 Height: 5' 5" HW: 230 (Pregnant Nov. 2011) CW:222 GW: 180 (for now, may change later) I started MFP several years ago, lost some weight, got pregnant, and now I am starting over again. I would eventually like to lose close to 50lbs.

Most definitely join a group. Or create one. When I first joined MFP I wanted to do the Turbo Jam workouts. I started a group and we made a schedule, regular check-ins, goals for the group and individuals. Have a couple of moderators. It will keep everyone accountable and give you all a common goal. You definitely have to…

I was just switched from Lexapro to Viibryd a little over 2 weeks ago, because it seemed like the Lexapro quit working. I was on it for over 2 months. I actually lost 10lbs while I was on the Lexapro. I am worried about gaining the weight back and not being able to lose any more while on the Viibryd. I have been staying…

I would really love some input on this.....bump

Hello everyone. I just turned 30 and I have two boys, 4years and 6 weeks old. I have been using MFP for some time now. From jan to apr 2012 I lost a little over 20lbs using MFP before I got pregnant again. I am hoping to start this new year back and lose some more. Current weight 213 goal 175. Add me if you are looking to…

I have been using MFP for some time now (over a year) but took a break during my recent pregnancy. Now I am ready to start back at the first of the year and would love to get some new friends that are close in weight and goal range. Lowest weight this year (right before pregnancy): 198 Highest weight (before pregnancy) 220…

I will be 31 weeks tomorrow. So far I have gained 28lbs. I lost 20lbs on MFP before I got pregnant, weighing in at 198 when I found out I was pregnant. Thus far this pregnancy I am doing much better than I did with my first. With that one I weighed in at 180 and gained almost 60lbs with my son, who was 10lbs2oz @ 38 weeks.

I was put on Prednisone at 30 weeks with my first child (currently pregnant with my second) for complications I was having, nothing to do with asthma. I do not remember having any concerns with excessive movement from him at the time. However, I did gain a good amount of weight from the prednisone and so did my son. I was…

I just found out about a week ago that we are expecting our 2nd in December (I am thinking around Dec. 11th). It was also a surprise, but the same, not prevented either. We have not told very many yet as we had a good many complications with my 1st and want to wait a bit before we start spreading the news. I am thinking…

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all of your comments. :)

That is really awesome!! You are doing great!

This is fantastic!! I am almost at my twenty pound mark as well, which will also put me in Onderland, and I am sooo excited!! Good luck to you on the rest of your journey!! :)

Also, there will be children in attendance, so something slightly appealing to them would be great as well.

?? No one?

I agree with this comment, my hubby says the same thing. I really think going to a sports bar would be cute in the jeans, boots and a nice fitting cute top, something that shows off your figure.

Fantastic job!

I have a very similar bike where it has the programs you can choose from that go up and down in resistance and you do so with in the certain speed. Sometimes I get impatient with them because I don't feel the need to go for as long on setting 1 and 2. So I tend to make up my own. I ride on 2 for a minute, then 3 for about…

I love to do stir fried veggies (onions, cabbage, carrots, zucchini & squash) and some baked asparagus is good with a touch of olive oil, onions and fresh garlic.

Congrats to you! My change has been very similar. Before i had this idea if I worked out, that would mean I could have...a piece of cake or a donut.Now I have for the most part cut that out and I look at it as a total numbers game. If I eat this I have to work out this long or I can substitute this instead of that and get…

My fast food options are: Southwest grilled chicken salad from McDonalds (340 cals with only half of dressing) Grilled chicken sandwich with no sauce and a small chili from Wendys (530 cals) Chicken and Black Bean Burrito from Barberitos (410 cals) Kiddie chicken strips and fries from Zaxbys (390 cals)

My calories are set at 1380 + my exercise calories. Yes I eat mine. Most days all of them, sometimes maybe only half. Depends on how hungry I am. It is working for me. I have lost 2lbs a week so far since I started.

I am 5'5, 208 and want to lose about 1.5lbs a week so MFP set mine at 1380, plus I eat about 70% of my exercise calories back. With these setting I have been losing about 2 lbs a week. I am happy with that result.

What is the difference in the Vibrams and going barefoot? I think I would rather be barefoot, couldn't deal with the in between the toes thing. For my workout I would much rather have something extremely light weight with a little bit of cushion on the soles. I am really leaning towards the Nike Free or Nike Musique. IF I…

Hello, My name is Elizabeth and I am also an MFP addict. I am constantly talking about calories (and sodium recently) and it is part of almost every conversation. I am extremely attached to my news feed and the forums (though I don't post often) and constantly have it open while at work and home, along with the app on my…

I work in a warehouse office, and the only bathroom available is connected to my office, seperated by a cheap sheetrock wall. Needless to say, you can hear EVERYTHING in there. My horror story is my coworkers son. He comes in sometimes to help and he is one that seems to run to the bathroom every hour. OMG the stink, and…

I have started listening to Pandora Radio while I am biking. There are actually a couple of "workout" stations that are excellent and upbeat. Rihanna Enur (My Favorite!!) Pitbull David Guetta Far East Movement Just a few artist that play on those stations
