Can I join in still? I have been off of myfitness pal for a while and unfortunately gained all of my 10 lbs back! My name is Carrie and I weigh 188.4 at 5'10". I have 3 kids and my favorite food is sweets....hence the stomach fat that I have! But, I'm motivated to lose start getting healthier and making better choices!

Wow! You look great!

I don't pay that much attention to the Wii fit scale because I usually work out in the late evenings (after I've already eaten). I figure since I started with using my regular scale, I will just stick to that. On that one I weight first thing in the am :blushing: !

One more thing.... Cindy you look FABULOUS!! I just saw your new profile pic and you can really tell the difference! Way to go HOT MAMA!! :love:

Hey everybody! It's been forever since I have logged any miles on here! I am still walking my 15 minute breaks at work (which is about 1 mile distance). I have really been struggling the past couple of weeks with my workouts. My kids started back to school 2 weeks ago, and now I have all the after school activities that…

I just purchased a Wii game system this weekend and I insisted on having the Wii Fit to go along with it. I tried it a couple of times over the weekend and so far I really like it because it makes my workouts fun and exciting! One question though....can anyone recommend a workout schedule or suggest some great games that…

Good morning everyone! We are getting soaked here in Florida from TS Claudette. I hope everyone else is having better walking weather than we are! So, I have a question??? I haven't been exercising any these last 3 weeks (besides a walk here and there) but I have been staying on my diet. I am curious as to why my weight is…

SW (June 2009): 188 Week 1 July 22 - 179 Week 2 July 29 - 184 (+5) Week 3 August 5 - 180.4 (-3.6) Most of my weight gain from last week is already gone!! I'm so glad I decided to stick with my diet and not give up!! We CAN do this ladies!!!! :love:

Oops! I posted this on last week's thread! Here it is again! I went on a trip with my youth group last week and seriously FELL OFF THE WAGON!!! I tried my best to make heatlhy eating choices, but when you eat out every meal for 6 solid days it makes it really hard. Especially when the 6 teenagers you are with constantly…

I went on a trip with my youth group last week and seriously FELL OFF THE WAGON!!! I tried my best to make heatlhy eating choices, but when you eat out every meal for 6 solid days it makes it really hard. Especially when the 6 teenagers you are with constantly want to go to the mall for dinner! Plus it was my TOM and I…

Bump Bump!! So I don't lose you guys! :tongue:

You look awesome! :love: Keep up the great work!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to drop a really quick post and let you all know that I am back from vacation. Our youth group did an awesome job in North Carolina! We took 1st place in the graphic arts division :bigsmile: and our drama team had a strong performance as well (eventhough we did not place in that category):happy:…

Hey Cindy! I noticed on the Christmas challenge post that you lost another 2lbs. this week! Great Job! :love:

So, what is the difference between "natural" PB and "reduced fat" PB?

I always seem to go way over on my sugars too because of fruit. :ohwell: I am a fruit fanatic!! I have heard on other posts that even fruit sugars are bad for you. But, I look at it this way....at least fruit is a healthier choice than having some candy!

Since yesterday was my official start date on this challenge, here is my "official" weigh in for this week. I leave to go on vacation tomorrow, so I am praying that I won't gain any weight! :ohwell: Start Date July 22 (May 27th - MFP start date) Starting weight on MFP 189 (goal = 160) (29 pounds) Week 1 July 22 CW= 180.2

I agree! I already feel "big" just because I am so tall! Oh well, look at it this way....they can't get the long sexy legs like we can!!! :laugh: Woo Hoo!!

[/quote] Boy, she sounds even worse than the :devil: . What a mean person. [/quote] OMG, if you only knew! :noway: I am so motivated to keep going not only for myself but so I can seek sweet revenge! :smooched:

Just bumping so I remember to load my picture later at home! Thanks! :drinker:

It feels so awesome when you can finally buy or wear something in a smaller size! WTG!!:drinker:

So is it too late to join you guys? I am always looking for a way to keep myself motivated and boy do I have a BIG motivation for Christmas. I have to tell this story so you guys can understand where my HUGE motivation is coming from. My husband has 2 older brothers. Well, one of my sister-in-laws (I'll call her :devil: )…

Good morning walkers! I just got back from my 1 mile walk at work. I am committing myself to walking another 1 mile this afternoon. I have found myself with a very busy schedule the past few weeks and I have been too tired to work out once I get home and actually "stop" for the day. :ohwell: So, my solution is going to be…

Hi everybody! First let me start by welcoming all the new members! :flowerforyou: Here is what I have done so far this week. I did my usual 1.8 mile walk and FB on Sunday, and then walked 1 mile yesterday. I am committed to walking 2 miles today at work and then I have a double-header softball game tonight, so I don't…

Hi everyone! I walked for 30 minutes yesterday and did the TJ Fat Blaster workout. I had the neatest experience while on my walk and I thought I would share it with you guys. I LOVE getting up early on Sunday mornings and walking because I use it as my prayer time and because it's always so peaceful! I headed out the door…

WOW! That's news for me! I thought I was doing good by drinking my 8 cups a day. I'll start guzzlin' more now!! LOL!:laugh: :drinker: :drinker:

Hey guys! Just bumping the thread so I don't lose you! I am still struggling with motivation right now! I have started forcing myself to walk at work and I am finding that I am just too exhausted when I get home to do anything else. Plus, I've been really busy planning my husband's 30th b-day party and my daughter's 7th…

Hey everbody!! Today is my 2 month anniversary on MFP!! Yeah! When I set my goals back in May, I was hoping that I would be at 178 by today. However, I am only at 179.2 :grumble: . I would like to think that the 2 oz. is from the underwear that I had on when I weighed:laugh: ! I have really been struggling these last two…

Welcome Steph! :flowerforyou:

Hi everybody! I'm checking in with my 15 minute walk at work yesterday. I have no idea how far it was, but I'm guessing 1/2 mile. I'm really struggling with motivation right now, plus I pulled a muscle in my back playing softball last night. :grumble: Spunkie - Stay strong! YOU CAN DO IT!!! :flowerforyou:
