Maybe next time you're invited to a BBQ could offer to bring something and then bring something REALLY healthy and load up on that and take a little of the other stuff next time. Of course I have a hard time not taking A LOT of the other stuff b/c it's there, but it's worth a try! : )

Are you going to post BEFORE pix as well as AFTER? ; )

Hi Guys, So, I was reading a post by a lady who put her goals in writing and how it was scary initially b/c she didn't know if she could do it or not... well, I have my big end goal, but I thought I should do some mini-goals so, I'm posting it here for accountability and motivation for myself... you don't have to read…

Nice Job! : )

I was and still am on it. It hasn't changed my hair distribution much, but the hair loss I was seeing improved after they increased the dosage. My acne improved, it's not gone, but improved. Been on it for about 5 yrs.

Hi Guys and Gals! Highest Weight: 208 SW with MFP: 195 CW: 160.0 Aug 8: 158.2 Aug 15: 157.4 ~ down 0.8 lbs. Aug 22: Aug 29: Sept 1: I did a lot of hard biking this week (well, hard for me anyway... can't keep up with those guys that fly by at 20-something miles an hour), and while I'm glad I lost almost a pound, I look in…

My understanding is to MAINTAIN your current weight, if you DON'T exercise, you eat what your BMR is: 14-whatever it is. If you want to lose weight AND you DON'T exercise, eat the 1200 recommended by MFP. If you EXERCISE AND want to lose weight, (let's say you burn 300 calories), then you eat the 1200 recommended by MFP +…

I was just looking at your running at the bottom of your post, AWESOME job! One-derland! That's great! : )

Well, it's been a little chaotic on my end as well. I've been up and down on the scale, moved twice, studying for board exams, got a concussion and that ended all physical activity for a couple of months, got divorced, so, I completely understand having to put some things on hold for a while! Hence, I'm just now coming…

HA!HA!HA! I thought it meant No Small Victory!!! I think in this case it's both! ; )

I don't know either, but I have done 30DS off and on for about a year now, and I find that I end up breaking it up as well. Mostly b/c of old injuries in my shoulders. So, I'm trying to rehab my rotator cuffs a little before I start it again, even then I plan on doing every other day with cardio on the off days. My time is…

How are you? : )

I use plain oatmeal and throw in onions, garlic, left over grilled boneless skinless chicken breast, raisins, prunes, sometimes nuts in place of meat... it's savory with a hint of sweetness from the prunes and raisins. Weird, but I just don't like sweet oatmeal. : )

50 minutes of biking, 20 minutes of hatha yoga... : )

Hi, Highest Weight: 208 SW with MFP: 195 CW: 160.0 Aug 8: 158.2~Probably just water, but hoping for a trend! Aug 15: Aug 22: Aug 29: Sept 1: Thanks! : )

Hi Lisa and Everybody, I've been MIA as well... sorry. In the mean time, I've gained and lost weight... got divorced... moved twice and am now about to take my board exams and start my last 2 years of medical school... WOOHOO! So, anyway, I would like to get back on-board with MFP and the September challenge and hopefully…

I'm in the same boat... I also found that running exacerbates lactose intolerance. Seriously! So much pain for me anyway. I LOVE the COCONUT milk ICECREAM! It's freakin' amazing and I even prefer it to regular ice cream. : ) I pretty much have eliminated cheese from my diet unless I have some enzymes on hand. I do drink…

Thanks Kath711! : )

Hey Lady! How have you been? It's been busy! I'm in my second year of medical school, getting ready for Board Exams, getting a divorce, been a single parent since my husband has been in Antarctica... whew! But, I've put on about 7 pounds since reaching my low of 154, so I need to get back on the wagon! So here's my weigh…

Hi all, Mind if I join you? I'll weigh in on Monday... Thanks!

Sorry guys, it's been a tough few weeks, but I'm back! Just finished our Respiratory block and am now to Heme and Lymph! Woohoo! 6 weeks till Christmas break and I get to see my family... they haven't seen me since I was 195, so this should be fun! ; ) Don't know if I'll make it down to 140. Not worried if I don't. I can…
