I don't have kids, but I teach elementary so that's probably where I get it from! LOL! Oh, and "Snap"...another one of my favorite words :()

I was following a thread and totally got lost when they started talking about NET vs. GROSS calories. Went to the reports section on MFP for nutrition and it has a little graph showing net calories only I have no idea what that means? Since I'm stuck....I'm trying to figure out why....I literally am embarrassed that my…

Feel ya...trying to keep myself from running out to Wendy's right now! Sometimes and this is so sad, but true...I just go to bed early so I don't feel the urge to eat :)

I'm lost and my head hurts...anyone have the ADD abbreviated version? Gross/net...I have no idea.

I like this! That is so where I am at. Just stuck! Mentally and everything. Thanks for posting this...next pay check I'm taking all my pants in to get taken in!!! :)

Congrats on the baby! Hope we get to see a pic or 2. You look great! I'm hoping one day I'll actually be able to believe I can look that good! Best of luck!

That's so COOL! Not very many people would stick it out together. That says a lot about the two of ya! You both LOOK AMAZING! Kids have a way of turning hearts and y'alls are adorable! Super cool!

Absolutely will do. Must be scary, but will send good thoughts your way!

Snacks seemed to have helped me too! The 1st two weeks seem to be the worst, but then you kind of get used to it. I LOVE FOOD TOO!! One trick I picked up on is healthy replacement. I WANT PIZZA, mmm...not a good choice, but maybe some whole wheat pasta and spaghetti sauce instead. Find ways to get the taste you desire, but…

DEFINITELY, talk to a doctor again...I know gallstones can lead to some EXTREMELY serious life threatening stuff, but not sure what the diff is between that and one that's inflamed. Had mine out a couple years ago and I heard all sorts of stuff, YOU'LL GAIN WEIGHT, YOU'LL never be able to eat spicy food again etc. Wasn't…

We use it in my strength class...I kind of like it because it can really challenge you and I think on some things its easier on your back. Sometimes we even kill 2 birds with one stone by doing chest flys/presses while holding ourselves up with our legs on our back. MULTI-TASKING!!! My favorite word!

My parents have a treadmill that they don't want anymore and I'd like to have!!! It would be perfect to put my dog on when the weather is bad, but I could use it too! One problem, the little thingy attached to the cord that makes it stop is gone. Is there a way to replace it so I can get it working again? You know the…

Allright! Who knew...that's one way to make the time fly! Its like that game ENCORE...which if you love singing is super fun. Hmmmm, who knew working out could get so creative.

Yeah!!! I'm so proud of myself. I did the yogurt thing and it wasn't too bad! I think I'll be able to not loathe it anymore and eat it once in a while...conquering cottage cheese and yogurt....NEXT STOP THE WORLD!!!! (insert evil laugh here) :)

Yep...I finally bought some of this greek yogurt I keep hearing everyone talk about. I'm braving it for breakfast tomorrow. I've always had a texture issue with yogurt, but since I've conquered cottage cheese, I'm hoping w/ some added granola to the yogurt it will be yummy to me. Anyone add anything else to their yogurt?

I'm gagging right now!!! My dogs are like me...we fluff flowers :) LOL!!! Good thing you read the label! Nice save.

MMMMM....I had my obligatory cadbury egg this week! My mom sent me 3, but I'm proud of myself I gave the other 2 away and ate only one. Thank goodness its only 1x a year, because...MMMMM...those things are GOOD!!!

Hmmm...hadn't thought about it, but fruit and an avocado sandwich sound YUMMY!!!

I do LOVE"S my sodium...yeah probably should put the kibash on it anyhow before I'm like 70 and have to. LOL!!! laurie

Is it possible to be retaining water 2 weeks prior to a menstrual cycle? I always seem to weigh less the week AFTER my cycle. I guess this is why they say you should weigh only once! I weigh daily. Which for the most part works for me because then I see it ASAP and don't just let it creep up on me. Hmmm...just curious.

So sorry to hear...will do!

If you do some weight training that focuses in on that area you'll see a difference. I'm 32 and yep my girls have lost weight with me, BUT they are a little more perky since I've done strength training. I'm sure in time yours will be back!

WHOA!!! That is quite something! Congrats!

Hey I'm sure its all good! Plus, depending on how much weight you have to lose you can very possibly see that right away. Congrats and keep a goin' !!! :)

SWEET! Nothing like a little hard work and sweat to make you feel POWERFUL!

I've also read that green tea and black teas can help a little.

HAPPY B-day to you!! That's a great present for yourself and just think how great it is getting it under control while you are young. Hope you enjoy your b-day and the new bod!

Yep...it is pretty cool! Good luck with everything. 3lbs in a week is a great start!

So I'm thinking I need to start tackling letting go of even more carbs....what does everyone replace them with?

Here's your kick in the butt...NOW STOP THAT....now you can give me a swift kick in the butt because I could've done better tonight. So tomorrow, we are going to wake up and eat right because we are worth it! You've done awesome! One day at a time. That's your head talking trying to get you into that negative loop. Erase…
