Hi both...YOU TOTALLY GOT THIS!!!! You can do anything...mothers always can. :)

Hi! I was banded in October. Feel free to add me (any of you) to help keep motivated! :)

welcome!

Hi! I am happy you found this group as well! :) I try to work out 4-5 days a week (although I have been lacking over the last couple of months) and sometimes it does get hard. Try doing something like yoga with a friend. It can be relaxing (especially a restorative class). I personally love hot yoga, but tread lightly with…

When I get like that, I grab a couple spoons of peanut butter and a few multigrain crackers. It always does the trick for me...and my husband does it too. We like the honey peanut butter, so that helps kick the "sweet" craving.

My husband & I have had our fitbits for a year and we absolutley love them!! We have mini challenges with each other and with our co-workers too. It really helps you want to get up and move. Being in a desk job, it's so easy to just sit all the time. I use it as an excuse to force myself to get up and move. Some companies…

I do this too, but add boiled egg to it too. Sometimes I eat it with whole grain crackers.

HOW FUN!!! If I was in Sydney I'd totally do this with you! I hope that one comes to Texas!! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN! :happy:

Do some research on DVDs or join a gym and take classes. That's what works best for me. I take 2 classes on average, sometimes 3.

Ha, not quite..I'm an assistant for an IT Head at Alcon Labs.

Student. :smile:

I'm interested, not sure if I can do 20 lbs but I will sure try! :happy:

I think about the things I can't wear now that I want to be able to wear. I've also got a great support group and gym buddies to keep me motivated. Keep your head up! :smile:

I'm 5'9 and I've recently reset my account so I don't look like I've lost anything but I've lost 6 this year (it was a good idea for me to reset personally). I've set my current goal at a 30 lb loss.

I agree here completely. :smile:

Hi there. I've had my official diagnosis a year ago (almost to the day). One of the best things you can do for yourself is to stay away from Google. My dr told me to forget everything I've read on the internet and all the negative that you can so easily find. One more thing to remember, which has helped me tremendously, is…

I'm a member of 24 hour fitness and I add classes to my calendar so this way it pops up to remind me to go. If that doesn' work, I think about how many calories I'll burn. It usually helps me. :smile:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I met my husband almost as soon as I graduated at his mom's house where he was living at the time. His little sister was and still is one of my best friends. He and a buddy were drinking on the back porch and she went out to tell them to be nice because a friend was coming over. They made some snide comments about not…

Benbrook area here! :smile:

Good for you!! The way the body works is an amazing thing!

:noway: Vent away!!!!! I'm sorry honey.

I love it when my 3 yr old daughter says "I'm sweating like a pig"....it's just funny to hear it come out of such a small person. :laugh:

I am the same way with the wheat thins!!! OMG they are so addicting! I have challenged myself to make them last longer and then hide them each time i get some, hehe

That is so awesome!!! I don't know you and am so proud of you!!!! :smile:

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE THAT HATES WRINKLED SHEETS!!! 1. I began my career at a fortune 500 company at 18 years old. (Started as a temp and was hired permanent at 19.) 2. I, too, cannot sleep on wrinkled sheets...Drives the hubs absolutely crazy! hehe. 3. I was diagnosed with MS earlier this year. 4. I grew up in a very…

Benbrook here!! =)

If you want to race a 5K...THEN RACE IN A DANG 5K!!! Try your best not to let him get you down. I'm sorry you're not getting the needed support at home, but you've got it here!! :smile:

:smile: Welcome!! Add me if you'd like!
