This is why I wish there was a Facebook page for mfp users that was accepting new members. 😕. I like finding those ppl that become your fitness journey friends 🙂

I was scrolling through message boards and seen this. :smile: I also do so much better with a small community. i had an online community and lost 50 lbs but the group closed down. Then life went crazy during Covid and i gained some back. I recently got back into mfp and the app is quite a bit different. Thinking of…

A lifestyle change is healthier that's true but it's still a step in the right direction and that GOOD. i too was here before and lost 40lbs but between the holidays and quitting smoking (haven't had a smoke since december 15th) i have gained back 30lbs. We seem to be on the same track...i use my house cleaning(being a…

oh yeah i want to lose the 20lbs by june1st

glad you're here!! i've never tried atkins so i'm not real familiar with it but good luck to you. I'm not a serious dieter or health nut like some ppl on here (and i don't mean that as a bad thing) my mom is one of those nuts and i just dont have the dedication. I prefer the small changes. But good luck and it's always a…

well good luck! most ppl here are super friendly and i love this site...it's just one day at a time.

Now that's the stuff i like to here...but remember vodka is somehow made from potatoes. Not a great veggie!!!:wink:

i went through and read most of these. Does that make me crazy?

figure up the nutritional value of each items and then divide them by your serving size.

i prefer once a week so i can see a bigger drop at once...like this week 4 lbs. I had to get off the scale check it over and get back on to be sure it wasn't messed up.:bigsmile:

Ok i'm a fan of calorie packs...mine are usually the 90 cal packs from special k... but well i ate my chocolate drizzle bar,"special k" and the woman i take care of ate a chocolate drizzle rice krispi treat i noticed that the only nutritunal difference was krispie had one more fat gram than Special k and the dietery…

Hello! I'm still doing one sugar one creamer....getting use to the taste. Only a cup and 1/2 this morning.

That's your advice mom...suck it up? :angry: Real nice, now tell all the nice ppl here how you drink your coffee and how you drank it before you lost weight for your wedding.lol:bigsmile: And you bet i would have called ya, but it's 10:30pm your time, I like my coffee but i like to breath too:flowerforyou: .

good to know about the back fat..would love to lose some of that...and the love handles...and the butt fat...oh yeah some of those thighs could go too. The roll over my jeans goes without saying:grumble:

Forget feeding an animal that isin't mine, i don't even feed the cats that roam around here...do that and you just get more and more and more..............and more.

just for the record, today is my first cup of 1 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp non dairy creamer....this cup of coffee sucks, i hopse it doesn't take long to get use to.:angry:

taking the kids to the playground early afternoon...that'll get me moving. Going to my in laws for dinner and we just got a new trampoline so i'll have to get on that later...yeah more excersize. All that means i shouldn't have to do a work out today!! I prefer to get my excersize in fun ways rather than a work out.…

Wow!! Lots of dedication out there! People here want to be healthier and it definately shows.If this kinda determination and sacrifice are kept up we'll reach our goals in no time.:happy:

good for you...i can skip food but i can't seem to find the motivation to exersize extra.:smile:

ok i have seen this before..curious what it means. So, all of you have great ideas and it looks like i'm gonna have to switch my creamer( i use international delight amaretto now) and wean myself down on the sugar. Thanks everyone!!!:happy:

Thanks for all the ideas...when i go shopping this weekend i'm gonna pick up some of those sun crystals(new to me) and some better creamer....i'm also gonna try to convince my boyfriend on the cinnamon in the beans idea:drinker: thanks

My son has been nursing for 16 months now:grumble: It's pretty much all the time...1/2 hour after he wakes up, for his nap, before i go to work, when i get home, for bed and during the night. He is eating solids too...i think he would just rather use me than a sippy cup. any way i just try my best to stick to the 1200…

can only curl it and LOVE big brother!!

fish

Thanks....although i don't exersize that much, more than before but not much, it's mostly trying to stop eating ALL THE TIME!!! Well i'm hoping my water weight is the first 9lbs i took off before i started this site, i know don't how anyone could lose water weight though.....it seems like that's all we put in sometimes is…

Thanks, but just to be on the safe side maybe i'll warn him about your suggestion before i do so.:laugh:

java

Hi the people here are really supportive and helpful, that's the reason i chose this site!! Good Luck with meeting your goals and learning to be happy with yourself even if you don't get there right away.
