love this! so sweet! :smile:

something you don't know about me? hmm..... ~i have 7 tattoos...planning on getting at least one more ~been arrested 3 times ~used to be a movie extra ~am secretly a ninja only one of the above is not true. :wink:

there comes a point in life when you have to stop pleasing others, stop putting others first. you can't make others happy if you're not happy yourself. do what YOU want to do! do what makes YOU happy! go for that hospital job, girl!! :happy:

you're right! we shouldn't deprive ourselves of a special meal every now and then. :)

thanks, everyone, for your feedback! :)

i use www.sparkpeople.com to calculate calories for exercises that don't come up on MFP. install a pedometer app on your phone or something similar that will tell you how fast you're going when you walk.

dancing is a great way to burn some calories. if you want to do other stuff, try walking around the block.....buy a DVD or two. if you have netflix, rent them first to find out which ones you like. :)

i've averaged 2-3 lbs per week during my first month, so yes, it's possible. the first 10-20 lbs are the easiest and fastest to drop because it's just water weight....or so i've heard.

same here!! i love frozen grapes!

i lost 10 my first month, and so far now during my second month, i've lost 5 more. the first 10-20 are usually the easiest and fastest to lose....or so i've heard. lol

i tried WW for a $53 three-month trial a couple of years ago. didn't lose squat - and yes, i was mindful of what i ate - but tracking everything became a little burdensome....trying to remember everything i ate so that i could log it at the end of the day was too much for me. lol. then one night i came across the MFP app…

"what'chu talkin', 'bout, willis?!" just do whatever works for you! ;)

beautiful smile --> mrswinstead! :)

looks play a role, but looks aren't always everything.. sometimes, the great looking guys tend to be a-holes. or maybe that's just been my experience. :tongue:

"like" :)

i actually got my name on my ankle as a joke for my parents. at the time, they said i was partying too much and so they always worried about me. so i got my name tatted as a way of saying, "hey, if something happens to me and you can't ID my face, check my ankle and you'll know it's me." that was money well-spent....um,…

the question you should ask yourself is "do i WANT one?" lol. and if you do, think long and hard about what you want and where. i have 7 but i only like 1/2 of one of them! yes, i said only 1/2 of ONE of them! LOL. i got them when i was young and didn't know any better. lol.

I lost 10 lbs. Heading into my 2nd week of Month 2 and I've lost 1 more lb.

wow! amazing! thank you for sharing! success stories like yours are inspiring and help give me that extra push! :)

I've got your back! :) I'm on a mission to lose 60 pounds myself! Down 9 in 3 weeks. We can do this!! :)

i think telling her in person would be the best idea. if she's still a good friend, i'm sure she will understand. :)

wow! you look fantastic! you are an inspiration! :)

LOL! that's how my mom was too! she already had 4 grandkids from my brothers, but she had been waiting FOREVER for ME to give her one! lol

it's a personal choice. i found out i was pregnant at 9 weeks - we told everyone the following week. i carried to full term - actually gave birth on my due date. :)

Hi Julie, I get into work (South Pasadena) around 6-6:30 in the morning, so I don't get the chance to walk at the RB until after work (3-3:30p). If you do ever have the chance to go around that time, say like on a day off or something (lol), please feel free to message me. :)

WOW!!! you look fabulous!!!

WOW!! you look fabulous!!

i love reading success stories like yours! you help keep us all motivated! thanks for sharing! :)

This is my first week and like you, have found myself feeling a little hungry towards the end of the day. I've been eating anywhere between 1500-2000 calories a day, burning between 300 and 1000 (depends on if I decide to go for a power walk or work out on the eliptical and also what I've eaten that day) to reach a net…

wow! simply amazing and very inspiring! beautiful before and after! :) i hope i look as great as you when i reach my goal! :)
