Thank you everyone for your input! I greatly appreciate it!! My husband would focus in the area of Charlotte, Concord and Mooresville. I just applied to a position in Greensboro. We were looking at Lexington for a happy medium. The more research I do the more I fall in love with the area! We have good friends in Flat Rock…

Bump. Anyone?

For me I have found that going over my sugar no matter where it came from causes me to either gain weight or not lose anything. I have been testing this since January and when I'm down on sugar, the scale goes down. Yes my calories need to be in range as well, but for me personally (not others) I have found that all sugars…

I have also found that eating less sugar (processed or natural) has helped me. If you stay within the guidlines of MFP it will help...or might help. :-) And also eating fresh foods and drinking lot of water!

I teach middle school band. Going on 12 years of teaching. Feel free to add me. :-)

I think it can hurt it. My husband and I have been married for over 13 years, but 5-6 years ago when I was at my heighest weight he didn't find me attracticve. He didn't want to be intimate with me. He actually thought he had an erectile disfuction. He said it wasn't my weight at first but then told me if I lost weight and…

Wow...that must be a very tough (emotional) job. Thank you for your service in doing it though.

I teach middle school band. I have 185 students. I also have 3 kids at home. :-)

Great post!! So many times I think of the short term goal and not the long term affects! Great reminder!! Thank you!!

You look great!! Way to go!! That's awesome for such a short time!

I love fitbit!! I use it all the time. I have used it for almost a year. I even do the sleep monitor option. Fitbit is great, I washed it once and they replaced it for free! I just upgraded to the fitbit one two weeks ago. The very, very sad part...I lost it today. I feel lost without it! ugh! I am hoping it fell off at…

I am July 8th! Any twins out there? Friend me! :-)

I have a borador. That is a Black Lab and Border Collie mix. He is black with one white paw and some white on his chest. He is a year old and FULL of energy!! Love him!!

Thank you everyone for your responses. I had never really been interested in doing this, but this person has always been so fit and seems happy so I thought maybe I should look into it. I lost 20lbs on weight watchers and then 13 here. I unfortunately have gained 10 back. I need to find a way to control my eating but from…

Luke Bryan!! Shake it for me baby!!

I have been using fitbit for awhile and LOVE it! It keeps me motivated. Unfortunately I washed mine and haven't had one for about a month. I'm getting the new fitbit one as a replacement and am hoping to get it this week. Anyone can add me if they like! :-)

Christmas Shoes and a song called He's my son.

Thank you again for the replys! Like I stated before, just looking for something to do with my daughter but not to BE my workout routine. I have a personal trainer that likes to kick my butt for that! :-)

Thank you for the replies!! It really is just something to add and that my daughter and I can do together. She is 9 years old and has always had some weight issues. She loves doing things with me. She had mentioned she liked wii fit, but I don't know much about that program. I know I would like to try Zumba sometime but I…

I just came back from visiting a Mayan temple (Chichen Itza) 3 days ago. Trust me when I say...your cupcakes are safe!! The people on here are right...it is just then end of a cycle. However our guide did say to pay for our vacation on credit card just in case...then you get a free vacation!! haha!!

What are you looking to do? I'm trying to lose about 25-30lbs total yet. I need to do something in the next 6 weeks because my husband and I are going to Mexico! I'm working with a peronsal trainer doing cardio and weight lifting so I would love someone to check in with! Feel free to add me as a friend.! :-)

Thanks for the update. Since I took it off for my workout I can count both this time...I hope. I went a decent amount of steps since I did some cleaning today. :)

Thank you so much! I just took it off to work out but knew there would be a way to do both. I like to keep track of my steps on fitbit just to see my steps total for the week. So I went about 1500 steps on the elliptical but that won't be logged on fitbit since I took it off. Oh, well, I know for the future! Thanks again!

Wow, that's a tough one. What is the position you are interviewing for on Thursday? Which would you prefer? I think you need to let your heart guide you. I accepted a position once without giving the other one a chance because they needed an answer before I knew if I even had an interview with the other comany and in a…

You look great!! Congrats! I too am a full time teacher and a mother of 3...plus a husband, dog and two cats! :-) You have been an inspiration! Guess I better get my butt in gear! :-) Thanks!

Thanks Everyone! I took a rest day. It feels better but I can still feel it like a nagging pain. I'm going to try the elliptical later tonight so we will see how that goes.

You look amazing!! Such an inspiration! How tall are you? I have similiar stats...I started at 178.8 and want to get to 125 but I'm only 5'1"

I only log food here, but I log the steps/exercise on both. I have it snyced so when I log it into fitbit site it automatically loads to MFP. Its really nice!! Have fun with it! It's a great motivator for me!!

I love mine!! It keeps me motivated to take more steps! I didn't realize how few steps I took during the day until I got this! I love how I can sync it to MFP too! Customer service is great too! Mine fell off and when I found it, it was in the drive way and had been run over! I was so upset! But I worked with Customer…

It warms my heart to hear how many people played instruments!! I am a middle school band director so I techinically play all the band instruments. I am most proficient in Piano, organ, flute, clarinet, alto sax and trumpet.
