thank you all so much!!!! my last pregnancy (9 years ago) i gained about 45 pounds which is waaaaaayyyyyy too much for a 5' chic like me. i'm hellbent on doing this the right way for me and my baby!!!! great info as usual :)

hey ladies! i'm getting married on june 25! so i'm definitely in the same boat. i'm doing ok weight wise....i've been on mfp for three years:drinker: but would love to firm up! friend me and let's keep each other in check :flowerforyou:

i always tell people i'm 60 inches of fury!!!! i'm around 129 now and want to get to 120 by May. it's so hard to pick a goal weight when you are short! i can't be 90 pounds but i also can't be 140!!!

i'm looking to get more friends too. i'm 34 and am done to the last 10 pounds which makes it kinda a challenge to stick to it. if we friend each other we can stay in touch in our news feed.......anyone interested, just friend me :)

this sounds like my life lately!! i was just thinking that today. i got about 1 pound away from my goal and just started slacking off. well i gained 4 pounds! it's not devestating but it still is a sign i need to get back on my tracking and get back in the gym!!!! so let's do this before the holidays roll…

can i join??? i've been super slackin and am going to an awesome wedding on the 28th??? i know i won't make this weeks goals but i'm going for the rest!!!:drinker:

yeah i think most of the celeb workouts in mags are kinda cheesy but i definitely have celebs that i'm inspired by because of similar body type or personality... mine are..... Jada Pinkett Smith Julia Louis Dreyfus Fergie short, sassy and kick *kitten*!!!! :smokin:

i don't think one person on here heard you say you are on vacation!!:noway: it'll be fine, this isn't something that'll last very long. plus all the playing on the rides in addition to walking is burning major calories! watch the food, you know what to do, the fact that you're checking in with MFP is fantastic :drinker:…

hey all!!! just wanted to check in and see how everyone is holding up. I am totally shocked I've continued to do this challenge going on week 6 :drinker: you know you are driven when instead of going through a drive though ( that was me 6 weeks ago) you actually stop at a store and buy something healthy to take back to the…

I'm in!!!! I did the April challenge was horrible about checking in, but I just realized today I went an ENTIRE MONTH without eating, Taco Bell, McDonald's, BK!!! That's pretty I awesome considering I was eating TB bean burritos about 3x a week! Amazing I'm not single:laugh: I did eat Chipolte and Subway. I feel like these…

i feel the same way although i've been on here longer. especially with the new fb layout, i think it'd be more fun with more friends. i'll friend you :flowerforyou: anyone else??

measuring yourself in the same place is easy...just use reference points. i measure myself like this : neck--right at where my adam's apple would be bicep-- i use my dominate arm (right) and do it with the arm relaxed and at the widest point, my arm is resting along my side chest--i put the tape around at nipple level (…

You came to the right place!!! you can do this and MFP is really awesome!! there are lots of people here to support you and so much useful info on the forums. i've been on for a couple of years and even though i haven't hit my goal weight, i have learned so much including how strong i am!! good luck and feel free to add me…

besides my first day hiccup :grumble: i've been doing great! even yesterday i hit a point in my day where normally i'd drive thru and grab something to hold me over, instead i ate the banana i had and drank a ton of water! yayaaaa:drinker:

my fave!!! as for weight loss i find that if i use it to replace mayo or cheese it's better for me. also the healthy fat in it keeps you fuller longer. avocados are the bomb!!

so i was all geared up for this challenge when my Mom decided to go to Qdoba on our lunch date and my aunt was already there waiting for us!!!! booooo!!!!!!!!!! but i did try to make healthy choices and ended up keeping my calories to around 500. seriously what are the odds??? i don't think i've ever been there with my…

ok i'm in! i have already decided i need to take April to "spring clean" my body anyway. i had been having a lot of success earlier this year but slowly see myself slipping back into some bad habits and it shows on the scale!!! i need you guys to hold me accountable and occasionally listen to me whine :cry: good for us!!!…

of course!! not as many as cardio per minute but it definitely does and there's the after burn!! plus i love how it makes me feel smaller and firmer, so i say keep it up you'll be adding cardio again when you feel it.

i would like to know this too! i swear there was some threads on here about cutting calories and weight lifting....something about you cannot gain muscle while cutting calories. i would love some input on this!! just started lifting and my arms are like jello!!!

i would love to see the pic!! please post :smooched:

also the Vagus (sp?) nerve runs just on the side/ front of the neck. this nerve helps to control or affect nausea. so if you are having spams in the neck or shoulder ( or the several muscles which connect the two) it could easily be compressing the nerve. you could try warm, moist heat over the muscles, chiropractic…

start with these....i would just add one each week or two when it feels comfortable. 1. be consistent with you food journal. don't worry about calories yet. it's more about creating the habit. DAILY! 2. increase water. i write down the ounces i drink daily on a monthly calender, it's interesting to see how i'm doing 3.…

can i butt in??? i know we're a couple of weeks in but i kinda have been wanting a fitness challenge. i have been keeping track on a calender since the beginning of the year any exercise i do. some days it's a lot, others none. i think this would help get me consistent!!! today's plan......walk 3 miles followed by…

my goal is to stay under my calorie count. it'll be hard but i'm going to get creative and make it happen!!!

hey guys....well i'm a few days late but i did start 30 day this morning. it was hard!!!! it just shows me how weak i have let myself get. but i'm excited cause i do feel good that i did it. my arms are very wobbly though!!! so i just logged it as light weight lifting. it only came to 48 cal. for 15 minutes. i don't have a…

thanks steph!!! so how often do you run or use the 30 day?? i usually walk 4-5 days a week. i am wondering if i will still see results if i am only doing it 3 days a week. i don't want to wuss out but i don't want an injury either :noway:

hey all! so i am heading out to wally world to buy 30 day shred but i have a question.... do i do the video everyday?? is this possible?? i've never even seen it so i am kinda worried since she's so intense anyway. i've also been walking about 15 miles a week. so does anyone have any suggestions on a routine....i should…

just wanted to bump for this coming week.... did a 3.3 mile walk this afternoon. it's a beautiful, sunny 60 degrees in the mile high city take care :drinker:

hey all! i weighed in at 141. but i think getting away with only gaining a pound is pretty good considering all the football and snacking i partook in!! so i have been seeing all this talk about 30 day shred. i was going to buy it and start it on Dec. 1.....tomorrow. i am excited and just wanted to throw it out there if…

well gang i didn't do so well and it kinda continued through today. i did do well by logging everything so at least i have that accountability. i am back to work tomorrow so i know that will help keep me on track. i'm a little freaked out for our weigh in sunday but i can't shy away from it.....that's how i got here in the…
