Hello Teal Team! Glad we are finally able to post somewhere. I'm going to go ahead and message all the team members the link to this group and this thread. Just want to post the guidelines here too for reference:

Dated 4/26 Just FYI, hopefully group new topic creation will be up in a few days.

Teal Team Leader Checking In! Teal Team Members! Until the group forum glitches are fixed we can use this thread or just friend me. :bigsmile:

I'm imagining bowling alley musical here... :) Sounds like a really great memory for you and your family!

I would like to join! EDIT: I'm happy to be a captain if you need one.

^^^This. It will disappear but there is no way to prioritize losing in one area over another. Every body has its own lineup of fat areas to store and then remove fat and for you I would guess your stomach is first on, last off. It sucks but You can help the way it looks by toning the muscles in that area so when the fat…

I like #1 best but #3 would be really cute with a crop jacket or sweater. Something to give structure. And you look great! I love the coral color of #2 but don't love the ruffled neckline.

I will be your friend. :)

I also went on metformin last Thursday at the 500mg dose (tomorrow I go to 1000mg) and I am feeling something similar. Very hard to eat back the exercise calories and it always makes me want to make up the deficit with unhealthy things, like a cheeseburger. lol... Maybe it will even out as your body adjusts to the drug.

This sounds so good..

I've noticed this as well. Normally I just check that the general calories are the same and don't check the other fields but it is weird when it happens.

Tacos can be healthy if you don't add all the sour cream and cheese! Use lean beef and tons of veggies!

I want to join!

Bump so I can find this later!

What part of Japan? I lived in Hokkaido for a year... lovely country.

Swimming! I used to spend all day in the pool when I was little. I want to swim more here in TX but am scared of sunburns as there is history in my family of melanoma. :( So swimming in a shaded pool would be lovely!

Welcome Lisa! We are somewhat similar in age/weight! I will add you. :)

We have a winner! This thread is now closed.

Or how to figure out what my BMR is!

As in, I had no clue it would be such a big deal to have a repeat. hahaha... Horror!

This is amazing.

Clearly I created it just to pick on non-native speakers and totally not as an off the cuff comment on something I was thinking about while I browsed! To those who have pointed out 'loosing' is a grammatically correct word I stand corrected! Except that it's definitely not being used *here* in the grammatically correct…

As it is an adverb I am pretty sure you cannot add -ing to it... And if this is a repeat thread then I apologize, but I have only been on here a week so I have no way of knowing (that it was a horrible thing to mention.) :)

I also hula hoop. I created my own exercise and mark it at 200 cal per 30 mins since that is what several friends who hula hoop recommended. Granted, the speed at which you go makes a difference, so you might want to check with a heart monitor.

Great! Glad to hear it isn't too much of an issue.

I have a question since I started at a similar weight (220) and would like to get to 150 (I'm 5'9") - does your skin naturally tighten up as you lose the weight? I'm scared that I'll end up with a skin bag once I'm done. I'm 26, never had kids and am a non-smoker,. I would assume your skin shrinks with you as long as you…

I am 26 now and was diagnosed with PCOS 5 years ago when my cycles went CRAZY. Now I'm on the pill to help but am still dealing with the weight and unwanted hair. I just started here at MFP this past week but am feeling really excited about not only losing weight but also helping to fight the PCOS symptoms. Thinking I…

I'm 5'9" and currently at 213lbs. I would like to aim for 150 since that was a healthy weight for me when I was in my late teens and I think from there I will decide if I have lost enough.
