Thank you Barbara... what you said makes a lot of sense to me :flowerforyou:

You are too cool and funny! :laugh:

My son and husband are also working out... weight machine, treadmill, arc trainer, and some free weights... they went to GNC for a recommendation on a protein shake to add to their daily meals and the sales person... also a personal trainer... recommended some fish oil vitamins along with a post work out protein shake. He…

To all of you mothers with the stories about weight loss and your children ... I just want to say that you are blessed with your children... I love it that you are all proud mothers... I'm very proud of my 14yr old son.. he doesn't have this condition but I loved reading this thread because I love my son, he is my number…

augghhhh... and I thought my hubby was the only sabotaging partner... he definitely likes thinner women... in fact, when I was 132lbs over 2 years ago he became a little jealous and over protective. He would see me looking at shoes and clothes and actually insist I get them... but right now at my current weight of 167lbs…

If those people you are talking about commented on your lost weight and they are not the kind of people that would just say that... then I really think your body is toning up girl :smile: for example... before I had gained back the 7lbs I'm struggling with at this point... I had noticed my scale hadn't moved but when I…

I just started them... saw it on the Dr Oz show and a friend of mine beat me to buying them... she has been on them for over 3 weeks now and even though there are no appetite suppressants nor stimulants... my friend has experienced less hunger... so I'm giving them a try

I love it too... I bought a tub of of the vanilla bean one and was pleasantly surprised to actually see the vanilla bean seeds in it... I made some root beer floats with diet A&W and had a full cup with no regrets... I had actually forgotten about this.. thanks for the post and reminding me.. going to stop at store this…

I can totally relate to the question... MFP has an allotted amount for me but I tend to go over... sodium triggers my migraines and seizures unfortunately... thanks for some of the ideas on how to lower this fellow MFP'rs

don't worry about questions girly... I have found there are a lot of good people here on MFP.. for a list you can go to http://thepaleodiet.com/nutritional-tools/fruits-and-sugars and then click at the bottom where it says View Table... I have that list printed and on my fridge door :smile:

Oh man I can't wait to taste those sweet ones... I love the Sun Dried Tomato and Basil I have right now... I like to whip it with low fat unflavored yogurt and use as a dip for veggies!

totally agree with S1lence.. you will get varied answers on this... If you were used to eating less than what MFP is telling you... you will notice that by eating the recommended amt from MFP you may gain a couple of lbs at the very beginning.. but then your system will adjust... the only thing that I have experienced…

I have some that are very similar.. they are called Skele-toes and it has 4 toes only... so your little toe goes together with the second to last one... the ones I'm wearing have great arch support... but one thing I will tell you is that it's hard to find good socks for them... you only have 2 options.. the ballerina peds…

I asked the same question when I started here (over 2 months ago or so) and a personal trainer answered the following: Enter the average work day in your profile, if you are sedentary most of the time like a desk job but occasionally run errands then enter sedentary, if you are active regularly like sales floor but…

@lauramac...love it! Still laughing uncontrollably!

my mouth is watering! ice cream with anything or everything is my favorite dessert! sounds yummy!

that is awesome... I bet you walked around with a big smile the rest of the day... such a great feeling!

To me exercise prepares me mentally to continue with better food choices....:wink:

So true... when I was younger I remember always doing it for something or someone else... but never for me and not surprisingly... just as that person or thing failed me... I failed right along with my weightloss... this time around it's for me and when I lost 6lbs I felt so good about myself. For the past 2 years during…

auggghhhh ha ha ha can't stop laughing "and if you don't want dents on the floor".... lol... love it!

omg jsp you look so young... a lot younger than 37.... I am 39yrs old and I also have fibromyalgia along with, gastroparesis, herniated L5, seizures, chronic migraines, bradycardia, onset of Parkinsonian with myopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and central sleep apnea... it is so hard to really be able to maintain a schedule…

Congratulations! You had the best inspiration ever... your gorgeous son... now you will be able to go to his school plays, sports with him, the park, bike riding... where ever your son decides to drag you along... I know because my hubby also lost 150lbs and before this he was lethargic and had difficulties being there for…

I am a 39yr old female with several medical conditions: early onset of Parkinson's disease, gastroparesis, fibromyalgia, central sleep apnea, myoclonic seizures, chronic migraines, herniated L4/L5, S2, carpal tunnel syndrome, hiatal hernia, REM disorder, depression, anxiety... and a couple of others that I seem to just…

congratulations on your upcoming wedding! You will make it... the dress itself is a big motivation! and then Jamaica... paradise!

there is like a little red eye at the very end of the line of each entry for both exercise and food and just click on that little red eye.. it looks like a stop sign cut in half or something... at the end of the description of each entry... :flowerforyou:

isn't it awesome! I had heard about it for a while now and just signed up in Feb of this year.. I regret not having done it sooner... God Bless!

hevenn... you are soooo right... I am 38yr old female and I keep on reminiscing about how when I was 25 or even 30 I could just lose 10lbs in a week if I wanted to... metabolism is probably one of our biggest challenges... from the many we must already have just by being a whole decade older :wink: Victoria.. I would have…

thank you! I definitely know what you mean by freezing up... I was bedridden for about 2 weeks due to vertigo and to get back into movement... it felt like I had large grains of sand in between every disc on my back... very painful.. I also went to the UOP for my BSBA and HR certification.. I attended the campus they have…

Congratulations on all your accomplishments (including your children in that equation :flowerforyou: ) You are definitely an inspiration to me... I also have quite a few medical conditions and deal with daily back pain as well... mine is due to a herniated disc at my L4/L5 level.. so yeah... working out is harder than…

those 10 lbs definitely go into an exponential factor when you add children to the equation :wink: I have a 14yr old son and the demands never go away... but so worth it
