HEY, the big thing IS, you know it was bad. Before MFP it wouldn't have entered your mind. You now know you can't skip meals and if you do, eat something thats better for you, like a sandwich with whole wheat bread. I am so weak I cannot have anything like brownies in my house. Today I was at Meijers and the 1st thing I…

We really learn from our mistakes moreso than successes. You know what you had to do to lose it before don't be too hard on yourself. We ARe only human. Just get back to what you did before, watching carefully what you eat and work out more than you did before. You NOW know what one little cheat will do, so you have to not…

Yes it does, but if you eat all of them and you close out for the day ,they will tell you that you will weigh more in 5 weeks than if you don't eat the extra calories!! Basil

Maybe you could lead the way! You start working out and start eating healthy and she will follow!! Basil

Like they say " PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES" and get to working out!!!

I think you really have to have a goal in mind that you want to look like or feel like. We can somewhat help each other, but it really has to come from within. I was always a runner and didn't think much of lifting, but recently in several articles on fitness and losing weight, they say that lifing gets the metabolism…

It's between 2 people!!!

I never eat all of my burned calories. i try to stay at 1200, even though they usually give me 1400, and I burn off 400 or better. The more calories you eat the more they say you will weigh in 5 weeks!! Basil

Most of the 18 - 20 yrs olds, are more interested in eating and not working at their weight. Now that is not everybody. I think if you are here its a big start

Well in my advanced years the attention I ger is about my results, running, caolries, etc!

76 here!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what they think of you?

If you seriously want to lose it, you have to get serious. You can't wish it away. you have to decrease your calories and increase you activity. you can lose 20 lbs in 3 months if you got serious about it!! Basil add me to your friend list

DEFINETLY, YOU WERE ALMOST A VICTEM and Lord only knows what kind of a victim!!!

HEY, I'M ALL OVER THAT ONE!!!! BASIL

It's all anout eating right and excersize. I don't like to call it a diet, because a diet is a temporary thing. What we need is a lifstlye change. We have to change the way we eat and what we eat, mainly WHAT we eat. Basil Add me as a friend and let me know how you are doing!!

They will see the results and you will have the last laugh!!! Basil

It sounds as if you have the right idea. Just do it everyday and keep your calories in line. Best of luck. I'd like to add you to my friend list! Basil

Hey, do what you can! For now concentrate on your diet. Cut down where you can, but in breast feeding you probably have to be carefull what you cut out. I feel there is always things that are bad for us that we can cut out. Work out when you can. Maybe the weekends when your husband is home. It took 0 months to put the…

I'm a little different than most, but the question still applies. I like that I can do, whatever I want, whenever I want to do it. I don't like sleeping alone. I have came close a few times with relationships, but I know there will be times that I am going to have to do something I don't want to do. Now that be a small…

I agree, I'm American, my parents were born in America! Well my father was born in West Virginia, but a lot of people consider that as part of America!!

Exactly who does the NAACP encompass now????

Hi Angry, Your daughter is very precious and as tough as it is for you, think how it is for your wife. I've had kids and know what you are going through, but you getting up tight about it is probably got as much to do with you losing sleep as your daughter. Embrace it, hold your daughter as much as possible1 These days…

I ran on the beach in Daytona, Fl. and it was good. Daytona beach is flatter and firm. Some beaches are slanted which I found uncomfortable. If the sand isn't firm thats another problem. I would think you shouldn't go the whole 5k until you see how your knee will hold out.

You are already in shape, so I would start out wit just an easy jog, don't be worried about speed for awhile. Keep jogging until you feel as if you are running out of air, then walk, once you are breathing normal agian start your jogging again, and keep repeating. You want to do that for at least 30-45 min. You will find…

Dear Pissed, the standard is, " if you eat less, or healthier than you did, and you increase your cardio, you will start the trent down. So if you are doing a hard work-out with weights and cardio, then there must be something in what you are eating. Be sure that people can look at what you are eating daily so we can help.…

AMAZING PROGRESS and Great pics!!!! please add me Basil

Reporting everyday really helps me. It keeps me disciplined and that is what this program is all about. SELF DISCIPLINE!! Basil

No, I thought the same thing. Eating sweets, and fast food. I guess if it works for you ok! We are all different and all want different things. But at age 76 and been on all kinds of diets, I figured out it can't be a diet, it has to be a life changing way of eating. i won't ever go back to what I was. i know i can not…

I LOVE THE GIRLS' SWEAT!!!!!!!Q!
