my problem isn't going over my calorie goal. quite the opposite actually. my hubby looks at my report at the end of each day and then jumps my butt because I don't get a minimum of 1200 calories. it seems like I am eating a LOT and do not feel hungry very often either. going over and being short on calories can be equally…

totally amazing.. you should be very proud of yourself.

a few of my meds have the side effect of weight gain. mostly my meds for diabetes. I got back on my meds last year right after getting married. immediately gained 30 pounds (or more) since joining this site I have managed to start dropping that back off and plan on finally losing all of my extra weight. feel free to send…

hi and welcome to mfp. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. well for a long time just resigned myself to the fact that I was fat and that is just how it is going to be. I started with this site six days ago and i am already showing progress. trust me when I say if I can do it anyone can do it. this site has…

hi... I worked nights for 8 years. I had to make adjustments for my meds and simply switched them to the night hours. depending on what your work schedule looks like and how many nights a week you work you may or may not be able to do that.

hi today is day five for me. I wish you the strength to reach your goal. you can do it.

when I have time???? I am an army wife.. time is all i have. lol will sort through them and send you some of her faves. my hubby makes a mean veg. manicotti but you have to eat cheese.

yeah you really gotta watch your soy intake it will also throw your hormones out of whack. but if you are a lable reader you would find that not all veggie burgers are totally soy. one of my daughter's faves is a portabella mushroom burger. and even an omnivore like me loves them. some soy once in a while is fine just…

Cheilsea please thank your husband for his service. mine has been home from iraq for a year now. it takes a special kind of person to do what they do. we will be praying for his safe and speedy return.

my youngest daughter and her boyfriend are both vegetarians. send me a friend request with veghead in the message and I would be happy to share some of their favorite recipes with you. and katkat987 if you wouldn't mind sharing I am looking for a good curry recipe for when the kids are in town. thanks

that is really neat. some of the items really surprised me at how much you can have for just 200 calories.

I have the ones put out by champion too. been wearing them for almost a month. they make the back of my thighs and my butt hurt. and a small piece of advice... don't trip or twist your ankle while wearing them... it is worse than when you are wearing regular shoes because of the thicker sole. I tripped over my puppies…

nothing wrong with being tall. I am the exact opposite. I am only 5'3" rather short these days. when you get to feeling like being tall is abnormal take a look at the models on the cover of most magazines. I am willing to bet money that almost every one of them is close to if not six feet tall.

oh my gosh yes.. someone mentioned the one that drives me nuttier then a fruit cake. the misuse of to too and two.

I don't think he was being a jerk. just speaking out on behalf of the intelligent people of the world. plus like he said it was meant in a light hearted manner. I am just glad to see that it is not just me that hates it. oh and to dmcbeauty yes your friend is correct. you use I or me depending on the rest of the sentence.…

lol love it. my kids call me the spelling nazi. I sometimes find it hard to bite my tongue when people repeatedly misspell words even after being corrected on it. I am in no way perfect and happily proclaim myself queen typo. it is called spell check people. and lets not get into chat speak.... ugh... makes my head spin. I…

thanks for posting that recipe.. I love pumpkin butter and it is surprisingly not that bad for you. wonder how it would turn out using an artificial sweetener? or a mix of the two like splenda brown sugar blend.

having a photo shoot wearing not much more than my albino burmese python.

I would definitely talk to your doctor about what your target heart rate should be during your workouts. your body may react differently than the person next to you. for some it takes more exertion to get their heart rate to target where as you may not take as much effort. normally for me working extra hard and getting my…

you said you are noticing changes in your body? are they changes for the good? if so don't worry about what the scale says. you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat. you may be losing the fat and replacing it with lean healthy muscle.

congrats.. I think it is fabulous that you could overcome yourself and keep going.. self sabbotage has always been one of my main problems with weight loss. I wish you strength instead of luck.. cuz luck has nothing to do with it. today was my first day but by no means my last.

today is my first day... just think of it as your new first day and start over. if people just stick together we can do fabulous things. I don't know you but I have faith in you... have a little faith in yourself.
