  • I got my work-out clothes at Wal-mart. I love love love the Danskin brand. I am only 5'4" so I can't wear the long pants but the capri's are awesome. I have two pair of the fold-over top bottoms and matching racer back tank tops with support bras in them. I also wear a sports bra just because I am (well started at) a…

  • I as diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 years old and have struggled with my weight almost my entire life. This is the first "program" that I have found that has helped. There is support here and friends - AND NOT ONE OF THEM JUDGE YOU for any reason. As far as foods go....I have continued to eat the foods I want to eat…
  • I started my Zumba experience at 250ish. I have found ways to "dumb" down some of the moves to make it easier for me to do. I have been going for about a month now and I absolutely love it. My instructor can tell when someone is struggling and comes and tries to help you figure the moves out.

  • Hello everyone! My name is Ericka and I am a paramedic.
  • Thanks everyone! I had my Pap done on 2/16 when I went in to see the doctor. She told me "Oh, you started bleeding when I did the scrape." Duh! I always do! I told her that I have been "spotting" (heaving enough for one pad a day) for almost a year on and off. She said well lets try the Provera (no luck) and come back in…
  • I am gonna steal part of your post Time2LoseWeightNOW with my own weight/loss: Time is running out for me to lose before swimsuit season, I really want to not look like a beached whale. I started out with my highest weight being 260, I have lost 12.9 lbs since starting MFP putting me at 17.6 lbs total. Since starting MFP I…
  • Hi Shawni! I just joined MFP at the beginning of this month. I have lost a total of 15 pounds since Feb 28 (10.5 have been since joining). I go to the gym at least three times a week and do Zumba twice a week. As far as eating goes, I have cut all drinks except water and occasionally unsweet tea with no calorie sweetener.…
  • I will count unsweet tea in my water but any other drink besides that gets added to my caloric intake for the day. This way I make sure to get at least 8 cups of water.
  • Hello! Thank you for putting this question out there. According to MFP my daily calories is 1490. I have been successful in staying under that amount daily with the exception of three days since I started. Most days I still have anywhere from 0 to 400 calories left at the end of the day. I go to the gym three to four times…
  • Oh, yes, there is hope. I just started last week and it has been rough. It has gotten easier though. I have been taking pictures of my treadmill accomplishments and posting them on my FB page. It is awesome to see/feel the difference in just this first week. Keep it up and it will get easier! Ericka
  • Papa3x, thanks for the inspirational moment. Ericka:flowerforyou: :tongue:
  • Any type of anti-inflammatory and lots of water!!!!!
  • My biggest struggle has been sweets. I have just joined MFP and am totally enjoying it. The phone app has made it so easy to track what I am eating and my weights.
  • :flowerforyou: Welcome Misty! I am new here as well and am trying to build up a good support system. I have quite a bit more weight to lose than yourself but any help that I can get or offer is here. Ericka
