I'm in. I have struggled to continue to log onto MFP the past few months because of an extremely busy life and I guess I haven't made me a priority but I am hoping this will get me back on track. I will do yesterdays and todays together. Also, someone had told me that once a post reaches so many pages MFP locks the thread.…

Congratulations!!! That is such a hard thing to do. I've been there. I finally called it quits 16 months ago and haven't looked back. I wanted to be smoke free for my grandson who was on his way :smile: at the time. I know that quitting for someone else rarely works because it has to be for you too but it worked for me…

^^^This for sure^^^

I also have made the excuse that "I don't have the money to be healthy" before but for me it comes down to choices. I have made the choice to buy healthier and eat healthier. Didn't have the time or money for the gym, bought an elliptical. No time was my excuse not to exercise. Before I could afford the elliptical, a local…

Agreed :)

I am not sure if this has been mentioned because there are far too many posts to read, sorry, but you cannot get the flu from an influenza vaccination as it is an inactivated vaccine (not live). That is a common misconception about influenza vaccines. You may have already had the flu and just not showing symptoms yet. I do…

Hey everyone. My name is Christine. I have lost 42lbs and have a lot more to lose. I am a wife, mom, grandma, registered nurse, etc. I keep quite busy and lately I have been feeling better about making myself a priority. I am happy to be supportive and encouraging to those that would like it. Feel free to add me and we can…

You look fabulous. I had to tell my hubby to come look at what this guy did. He looks awesome lol. Congratulations. You have a lot to be proud of. You stuck with the journey and you did it. WAY TO GO!!!!

Absolutely fabulous. Do not be ashamed. Be very proud. You have shown that you are able to stick with this lifestyle change and truly make a difference in your life. Keep up the great work. Congratulations!!!!

Too bad you can't do the swimming thing. Water aerobics is a great way to work up a sweat and definitely low impact. On the other hand, I have recently purchased an elliptical machine (Pro-Fit) and it is fabulous. You certainly sweat a lot. At least I do when I work out on it. So, if home workouts are what you want and you…

I try to eat some of my exercise calories back and I eat only when I am hungry. I agree with what other people have said about MFP over-estimating some of the calories burned so maybe eat 1/2 or 2/3 back but not all and eat when you're hungry. At the end of the night, if you have a few hundred calories left and you are…

Hi Angel, I've been on MFP since the end of May and I have lost 42lbs so far. I have a long way to go also but I am feeling good about my progress. I am happy to be putting myself first and making me a priority at least some of the time. Good luck on your journey. Feel free to add me and if you have questions, need help,…

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look amazing :smile:

I used to say the same thing. I was finishing my degree (so lots of studying and time at the university), helping out with my 2 kids, my grandchild, spending time with my husband and family, taking care of the house, etc. I still found time to go on the internet and to watch tv and take a nap, but I could never find even…

[/quote] No, no, it's if you have nothing nice to say, post about it "anonymously" on the internet. [/quote] LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

LOL That's a good one :)

Don't hate on Bambi. I like Bambi lol :)

Have people forgotten the one thing that most people were told when growing up? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. And truthfully, what difference does it make to them if you eat a salad or not, healthy or not healthy. What difference would it make to them if you ate the most unhealthiest…

Beautiful post. Thanks for the "power verses." I am going to do just as you suggested write them down and have them where I can see them regularly. Awesome. Thanks again :)

Really inspirational scriptures. Thanks OP for posting and for all others who responded. What a great way to start the day :)

What determination and dedication that must of taken. Congratulations, you look absolutely fabulous and you must feel fantastic too!!!

Absolutely inspirational. It's almost too good to be true. You have shown a lot of people that it can be done, including myself. Fantastic!!!:happy:

According to your profile, you live in Canada and you're 18. Go to your doctor and/or a nutritionist. It should not cost you anything and regardless of whether you are 18 or not you can go to the doctor on your own. That aside, it is best to get medical advice from a professional. If you feel you don't want to exclude your…

Thank you for the post. Some really good information :)

Seeing your diary would definitely be helpful to get a better understanding of what your diet is like. I don't think that exercising 2-3 times a week is overdoing it but I think it is probably something maybe lacking in your diet and your bodies are adjusting to the difference in diet and exercise. Both will take time for…

Absolutely fabulous. You're story really touched me. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are truly an inspiration on what hard work and dedication can help you achieve. You look incredibly beautiful and so so so happy. Congratulations on your success this far and farewell to the final 31.9 lbs that will be off…

Congratulations on your results. Hard work and a great workout certainly pay off. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up, you're inspiring more people than you know :)

I think you look amazing. Not sure why your pictures were removed in the first place. You are covered in places you need to be covered. I don't get what the big deal is. That aside, you've done a terrific job. Thanks for the share and keep up the great work :)

Fantastic job. You look fantastic. Keep up the great work. I was debating whether or not to get the 30 Day Shred but you helped me make my mind up. Picking it up today. Thanks for sharing. Hope you post another update as you continue this journey. Congratulations!!

That's awesome thanks for your generosity :) I'll be making up my list of questions and sending them your way lol :)
