Tricia 194 (+1) ltlhmom 237.8 (-2.1) goaliemom 230 (-9) Christie 240.5 (-.5) katie 228.2 (-2.8) Nicole.... I think I was at 246 last Friday, but never posted.... this Friday i am at 241.6!!! Love your chart, Thank you!

Hey girl, keep your head up. We are all here for you! Life can be overwhelming, but just think the one thing you can control is you... you can make time for yourself, to take care of yourself and that is the most important thing. One day at a time and we will all get to our goal.

Hello fellow mommies! I am Nicole, 31yrs old. My daughter is 4. My highest weight was of course when I was preggers (280!)... but that was 5 years ago and I have struggled since then to get ME back! I joined MFP awhile back, but really started using it this month and I LOVE IT! I am hoping to lose 20lbs by Feb 4th, which…

Great Job Katie!!!

:flowerforyou: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Enjoy every minute of it! You are not crazy to go to the gym, sometimes I feel it is a treat to get away to the gym! So treat yourself:smile:

I would put a post-it note on the cookies, reminding me of my goals:) Also I would suggest, although I have never tried, having a glass of water and tin of altoids by your bed. I love drinking cool water with a breath mint, refreshing! And you can't mix cookies with that taste in your mouth! LOL

i don't think any of us are looking for a miracle, we know how we gained weight, we know now that the only way to lose it and keep it off is to eat right and start moving. I find it hard to believe that Jillian Michaels would put her name on something that was dangerous or a gimmick.

Me too... what exactly is the product? how does it work? would you recommend it?

I do not believe there is a setting, but if you click on "My Topics" you can see who the last post was by and how long ago it was posted... mins, hours, days. If you click on "view" next to the last post, you will go directly to the last post so that you do not have to go through pages and pages of posts.

Sorry I am no help with your drink, but wanted to also voice my frustration with Starbucks, this weekend I noticed they had some new "healthy" snacks.... there are 4 cookies per pack, then I looked at the serving size... 3 cookies, really? You are going to leave one in the bag? At least make it 1 cookie, or 2... then you…

Just weighed in and have had no change since my last weigh in:( But after the week I have had, at least I did not gain! Back to the gym today and I vow to be more focused this next week! I would like to lose at least 3lbs this next week.... I can do it!!!

No change on the scale for me this week:( I had a crazy week, only hit the gym twice and only drank 1 glass of water yesterday! At least I didn't gain! I am off today, so I dropping my daughter off at preschool and heading straight to the gym! Cross your fingers for me this weekend.... I will be out of town:tongue:

Alright I have only had one salad this week... so I will have to make one tomorrow! I am really scared to get on the scale in the morning for our weigh in... I was only able to go to the gym Sunday and Monday this week. At one point this week I was down 2 more lbs... but two days I have been over my calories.... so I am…

I would suggest planning out your food for the day. When I plan, I make sure to include 3-4 snacks, such as yogurt, sugar free pudding, slimfast snack bars or luna bars.... that way, no matter when I get the urge to eat I know what I can have. I know what you mean about doing well, then falling off. I have logged in for 20…

Spend some time at the gym that day if you know you are going out. I usually do not eat back the calories I burn at the gym, but when I do have a night out or a baby shower where I eat a little more high calorie foods I do tend to tap into those calories burned and then I do not feel so bad. Like everyone else has said,…

Can't wait to hear about this, where do you purchase it?

I agree that the protein level set on MFP are low. It is ok to go a little over in protein, especially if you are being active. I asked about this recently and was assured that your body will just get rid of the excess protein. Also I have heard that you should have one gram of protein for every pound you weigh IF YOU ARE…

Thank you!

I just tried this video tonight... how are you all acounting for your calories burned?

I tend to eat crappy at night too, so I have been heading to the gym later at night. Also like some of the others have stated I do not have anything TOO damanging in my kitchen. Tonight I was bored, so I grabbed a sugar free pudding (60cals), then a slimfast bar (100cals).

I have some in my fridge, but have not tried it yet! Will definitely pack that one in my lunch tomorrow! Have any of you tried the White Chocolate Macadamia Luna bar? Delicious!!!!!!

Great Job! My secret to drinking water is that I keep a case of water in my car at all times. I commute 32miles each way, so I have plenty of time to drink two bottles on the way too work and two bottles on the way home. That way I am sure to get my water in for the day. Then I drink about 3-4 bottles while I am at the…

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

I like this idea! Keep me posted!

I just weighed in and I have reached my first 10lb lost goal! Hope everyone has a great weekend! I will be working, which is good for me because it is easier to stay on track with the food:)

Just weighed in, I have reached my first goal of 10lbs gone! Wa-Hoo!!!

This morning I weighed in and I have reached my first goal of 10lbs lost! Wa-Hoo!!!!

I found the BEST Luna bar ever made tonight.... White Chocolate Macadamia..... OMG SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! I love w choc mac cookies, these Luna bars are a perfect substitute! I too take Lean Cuisines with me to work everyday. My favorites lately are the turkey tenderloins w/ sweet potatoes & dressing and the cheese pizza.
